Meowskers. What a name for a band. But there's something about this trio from Brooklyn. When I listen to their Fake Orange EP, I relive the moment of when I first heard Spoon on the radio...or maybe the ch-ch-ch sounds of Bowie's Changes echoing off of the family turntable when I was a child. That's a little bit of a stretch, I know. But HEY what are ya gonna do? Meowskers is definitely a ridiculous name, but perhaps that shroud of humor shows their comfort level with their songs. The end product is joyous rock that [...]
It is a packed weekend of shows again. Here are some of the highlights: Friday 80s superstars Crowded House are back. How this works without one of the Finn brothers, I don't know, but I am sure those radio hits you remember will be on the set list. See them at the 9:30 Club in DC. David Ford is back in town doing an XPN Free at Noon at the World Cafe Philly. [...]
This is a super packed day for events. Here in Baltimore be sure to check out a great art opening down at Velocipede Bike Project that features the work of Alyssa Dennis, Charlotte Benedetto, David Cunningham, Kathy Fahey, Laurent Hrybyk, and Orlando Johnson. There will also be a performance by Yeveto. After that you can head right next store to Metro Gallery and catch the one and only Protomen or across from that you can swing by the Charles for the Maryland Film Festival. Maybe you might want to travel a bit more downtown to the [...]

Wow... very few posts on my part lately. For that I apologize. Let me just hit you with it. A band I heard for the first time sometime early this year (March?) just made me happy all over. I refer, of course to Brooklyn's Meowskers . A musical supergroup of sorts. These guys have a sound that seems to make it into every mix and "best new" list I've made for a while. It really calls upon a [...]

Have fun you wild and crazy guys!) Show Listing Friday November 30th: Los Campesinos! @ Bowery Ballroom [tix][mp3] The Clean @ Cake Shop [sold out][mp3] Oneida @ Europa [tix][mp3] Phonograph @
Keeping with the theme of the show, Meowskers are completely unpredictable. The initial song I heard on their Myspace started off like it would be your usual post-punk bit but all of a sudden a piano breaks in and then the harmonies begin assaulting your ears in perfect harmony. Sure it doesn't completely follow along with the loudness I was aiming for, but I'm sure they can turn up their amps to 11 if I ask nicely. Musically the band is a true talent, using harmonies and skilled musicianship to craft near perfect pop songs. The music [...]
It has been a long time since there's been a post on here, and not even a mix for June! Instead, here is a mix for the Fourth of July that does not mesh very well, or have anything to do with independence or patriotism. Hopefully this does not make me a traitor, but it probably does. Have a fun 4th, full of eating food and blowing off fingers with fireworks... you damn kids!! Elliott Smith - High Times - (MP3, 3.7 MB) According to last.fm, this is my 2nd favorite [...]

It's Thursday in the region. The week is almost over and there are all sorts of shows happening. So look over your options, get out there and support. Let's start with a band that you have never heard of, but will thank us later for introducing you to. Meowskers are from Brooklyn and I guarantee that you will be hearing a lot about them in a few months, so you might as well get acquainted now. They are playing Black Cat tonight as support for The Slip and Bobby Bare [...]
It's time to take a step back and post a few MP3's I'm in lust with. I'll leave out lengthy descriptions and let the music do the talking. It's no secret that Okkervil River is one of HearYa's favorite bands. Their new album is out on August 7th. Here's the first mp3 released: Okkervil River - Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe Here's the same song from SXSW 2007: Okkervil River - Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe (Live SXSW 2007) [...]
"Do I look like a cat to you, boy? Am I jumpin' around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree? Am I drinking milk from a saucer? Do you see me eating mice? You stop laughing right meow!" I can't help it if that's the very first thing that came to mind when I saw a band named Meowskers . Shame on me for not automatically associating the band's name with a song by The Slip , you'd think that I'd look for a musical connection instead of basking [...]

American Idol is thankfully winding down its season with Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis battling it out for this year's top prize, the Dollyrots have a new video attempting to tap into the growing American Idol backlash. Check out their Idol spoof "Because I'm Awesome" over on YouTube . The Donnas have remade the one-hit-wonder classic "Safety Dance." But, apparently their love for the 80s isn't all about the music. The lasses rockin' cover of the song will be broadcast into all of our homes in a VW ad. The ad begins airing June 1st. But, [...]
Í gær hefði verið tilvalið að slengja út eins og einum mánudags Topp 10 en sökum pestar, slens og plágu hreinlega treysti ég mér ekki í það krefjandi verk. Nú er heilsan aðeins skárri og er því tilvalið að vella út einum þriðjudags Topp 10. Vessgú: [MP3] Asobi Seksu - Stay Awake [MP3] Meowskers - Colors That Lie [MP3] Morningbell - Lost again [MP3] Blonde Do Role - James Bonde [MP3] Dawn Landes - Young folks [...]
Funny name for a band... Meowskers . Well, who cares about a name when the music speaks louder than words? This Brooklyn bunch delivers energetic and ecstatic indie-rock, and has just released their first EP, Fake Orange . Label says that they "combine the jagged darkness of early Black Sabbath with the holy drive of U2 , smoothing it out with the sexy swagger of 80's synth pop." Can you imagne that? Neither could I... but if it's true or not, doesn't really matter. These two songs here are quite good, even if I can't [...]
" The Meowskers " are a new find while roaming the wonderful web. But they're not new to the scene. They've been playing shows for a couple years now out of New York and traveling the East coast from time to time as well. In fact they made it to the Khyber in Philly recently and have plans to hit a venue in Washington, DC in the near future. The three-member band consists of Matthew Rudnicki, Michael Cheever and Jeff Neuberger. They met in New York in December of 2005 and became "The Meowskers" but Cheever and Neuberger [...]
