It finally happened. Winter arrived. Snow fell and we woke up this past Sunday with about three inches of the stuff. I'm glad it didn't arrive earlier, as Friday saw me at KSVR for a four hour stint of music. The first two hours flirted with folk music and the latter half was full-on garage rock, garage pop and psychedelic pop. Much of the 10 to midnight show came courtesy Finest Kiss , who posted some great 2011 lists. Taking [...]
Download : Caveman - "Thankful" New York's Caveman start of this weeks mix with "Thankful" an ideal mix of Brooklyn texture and that chilled out vibe all of us are looking for as the year wears down towards its close. These guys remind me of what Bishop Allen (one of my all-time favorites) could potentially [...]
It's been a long wait for new music from SF rock band Leopold and his Fiction , as news about the band's recording sessions with Thom Monahan faded away and bandleader Daniel James became understandably occupied with Cowboy and Indian . "Ride" is a new single from the Leopold camp, and it's an equally gorgeous visual and song. It's on the mellow side of the band's sound, so it doesn't capture the trio at its most rocking, but it's a strong tease that makes us hungry for more. Related Posts: [...]
I entered the studio at about 9:35pm, meeting up with Stuarto, who has the time slot before mine. A quick interview about 15 minutes before my show, another few songs, and I was up. It was requested that I attempt a transition, and as indie music is my theme, and world music is his, I figured I'd kick things off with an oldie, but goodie: "The Gulag Orkestar" by Beirut. The theme of the evening, loosely, centered around folk. Indie folk, folk pop, folk rock, orchestral folk, experimental folk... [...]

Tweet Cowboy and Indian - "Ledbellies (Hurt My Pride)" Between Leopold and His Fiction and his new band Cowboy and Indian , Daniel James is a busy man, but he took some time to check in with us recently about how Cowboy and Indian got started and where it's headed. As we learn in the interview below, things are moving quickly for the folk- and early rock-influenced band, even as its overall membership and sound continue to [...]
Tweet As if being the frontman for Leopold and His Fiction weren't enough, Daniel James has formed another project, Cowboy and Indian , with musicians Jazz Mills ( T Bird and the Breaks ) and Jesse Plemons (who you might recognize as Landry Clarke on Friday Night Lights ). The first offering from the trio is this fun video shot in Chicago and northwest Indiana. The band expects to release its full length debut in the spring.
"Daniel James has enough cool for two amazing bands. James, front man of Leopold and His Fiction and member of the newly formed Cowboy & Indian appears in the latter's playful first music video, `Hurt My Pride`. Cowboy & Indian, consisting of Jazz Mills (T-Bird and the Breaks) and actor Jesse Plemons and Daniel James (guitar and vocals. The recording process for Cowboy and Indian has been interesting. Since James was in San Francisco and Jazz and Jesse were in Austin, they wrote `Hurt My Pride` over the phone. But as soon as the two arrived in San Francisco, says [...]

"Klingt wie die perfekte Mischung aus X und Y" ist in der Regel eine Aufforderung zum Weghören. Leopold and his Fiction klingen wie eine ideale Mixtur aus The White Stripes und The Black Keys und lassen trotzdem aufhorchen. Plagiarismus hin oder her - "Golden Friends" macht Lust auf mehr. Dies gibt es, wenn Leopold and his Fiction in Bälde das Album zum Farfisa-verzierten Single-Vorgeschmack veröffentlichen. Das Trio aus San Francisco hat bereits zwei Platten eingespielt, die dem Radar der universalen Hypemaschine entgangen sind. Doch vielleicht machen es Leopold and his [...]
