Just about as soon as they opened the gates to Rock the Garden, the clouds decided let loose a few inches of rain on to the slew of garden rockers. It wasn't really anything anybody seemed too concerned about, rather a twist on the adventure; like putting hot sauce on your frozen pizza. Due to the rain a somewhat spontaneous shuffle ushered the early birds into the parking garage where Dan Deacon played a set that was described to me by another as... well, let's just say it involved robots and intercourse. In other words, it [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-11T12:59:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4999259/metric-bring-the-big-to-mr-smalls/

Hailing from Brooklyn, four piece dream pop outfit Field Mouse have released a music video for their track, Tomorrow Is Yesterday . The song is off of their upcoming debut LP to be recorded in the winter of this year.Vocalist, Rachel Browne isreminiscent of Metric's Emily Haines, withwistful airy vocals floating above a 902s indie pop sounding bass, guitar and drums combination.

Metric is a band that is very fun to shoot. Emily is charismatic and energetic, the rest of the band implements proper use of guitar, drum and bass face. Add to that a killer lighting rig and some beauty pop jams, you have the recipe for a fun night out. Heading to Stubb's on a Wednesday, there are worse ways to spend a weeknight. I'll sum things up, offer advice to the openers, The Colourist , and share the pretty pics after the break.

It was a wet evening in Austin on Saturday, but no one was letting a little rain keep them away from the Foals show at Emos East . Many folks may have still been sticking around at Psych Fest so this may have been a show more for those not attending the festival. Judging from the sold out crowd and positive vibes in the venue, the show delivered on the top name billing. Follow the jump for more. From the get go, this seemed like [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-27T15:05:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4918733/metric-shares-live-clip-from-coachella-2013/

Robert Nethery And the theme of today's post is videos. Domestic videos if you're Canadian, and exotic foreign ones if you're not. And led off by Mr. Colin Stetson - who is in fact American by birth but Canadian by immigration - because he will be releasing his new album New History Warfare Vol 3: To See More Light next week on April 30, and because the man has a big horn.

Fauxchella is a brutal time for music fans. The night Metric played at The Fox, we also had to contend with like minded bands How To Destroy Angels and Savages playing across the bridge. It was a tough night of you enjoy powerful women fronting danceable rock bands.

So it seems urban decay does have an upside, The Colourist. It was in an unused warehouse in Orange County, CA that Adam and Maya first stumbled upon one another and discovered the harmonic chemistry that has come to define the bands bright and anthemic signature sound. Those unorthodox beginnings have lead to The Colourist, consisting of Adam Castilla (vocals, guitar), Maya Tuttle (drums, vocals), Kollin Johannsen (guitar, bass), and Justin Wagner (bass, keys) to tours supporting indie stars like Grouplove, Electric Guest & Dale Earnhardt Jr. The latest indie superstar to lend their stamp of sonic [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-22T17:29:08+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4907742/metric-juno-award-winners-i-hope-it-serves-as-an/

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , Awards CARAS The Juno Awards catch a lot of heat for being too predictable and too mainstream, but this year's slate of nominations -- and several of Saturday and Sunday's wins in Regina, Saskatchewan -- were yet more proof that Canada's Grammys are slowly getting their ear to the ground. Plus, you gotta a love a year in which Nickelback [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-22T12:05:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4907013/daily-download-metric-stadium-love-ron-flieger-remix/

It's been a tough few months for the Beliebers, and last night it didn't getting any better. At the JUNO Awards - which is Canada's equivalent to the Grammys - Leonard Cohen topped Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, and deadmau5 to win the award for Artist of the Year. Here's the obligatory linking to absurd tweets made by Bieber fans in the aftermath of his heartbreaking, totally unfair defeat. who the fuck is Leonard Cohen — Cara (@JustinsCarebear) April 21, 2013 [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-20T22:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4905335/coachella-2013-weekend-2-fridays-5-best-things/
Peel back the surface and look past the picturesque valley backdrop. Forget about the gorgeous, sun-kissed young folk wearing next to nothing (or, on occasion, nothing). Go ahead and ignore the ridiculous hippie art splattering the landscape. Once you get past everything that suggests Coachella is a legit wonderful place, reality sets in. You're in hell. Everything pretty or fun is undercut by a physical reminder that you're in the desert, and the desert is no place for human life.

Ron Flieger helps us kick the weekend off on the right note with his brand new remix of Metric's Stadium Love . Following hugely successful official work for both Ladyhawke and Foster The People, we've come to expect great things from the German producer, and that's exactly what we get here. He's done a killer mix on the original, keepingEmily Haines vocals at the forefront while adding in a crisp electro beat to back them up. Make sure you add this one to those weekend playlists.Happy Friday everybody! DOWNLOAD [...]]]>
