Modern Skirts have a lot to celebrate today. Their new website is finally up and running, their Daytrotter session went live today, and they have a new single to let you know they haven't lost steam in between albums and tours. While people tend to associate Modern Skirts with upbeat pop or sweet ballads, Jay's lyrics have always had a dark undertone, and this new single is a sultry, somber reflection. From being friends with these guys over the years and working publicity projects for them, I've had a glimpse into the overflowing [...]
THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Doldrums w/ Dillon & Boog Brown, Rekchampa Tuesday, January 10 529 - 529 Flat Shoals Avenue in Atlanta 30316 Admission is FREE There's a pretty nice list of shows coming up this week (including three album release celebrations), but I was starting to think that there wouldn't be any sort of "main event;" that is, one lineup that I could point to as a can't miss show. But then I checked out Toronto's Doldrums and here we are. Led [...]
This is one of the best local triple bills I have seen in some time. Sealions sort of blew me away a couple of years ago when they opened for Judi Chicago at the 529. Check out their debut full length Strange Veins . Modern Skirts latest, Gramahawk , impressed far more than anything of their prior work and was deserving of a mention here before. And if you think that I don't think you should get out for nothing other than [...]
This week, Tir Na nOg and WKNC have turned Local Band Local Beer into something less local to us, but equally awesome. Athens, Georgia's Modern Skirts perform and Terrapin Beer Company of Athens Georgia is our beer special. And just to keep our Super Music Triangle involved, Digg Up Tapes artist Oulipo will open the show. Sooo rad, I know. Come enjoy what local means to Athens, right here in Raleigh this Thursday! Share and Enjoy:

THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Marnie Stern w/ Tera Melos, Cinemechanica Monday, February 28 Drunken Unicorn - 736 Ponce De Leon Avenue NE in Atlanta 30306 Admission $10 / Purchase Tickets If you've ever come across Marnie Stern's name, you've likely heard much about her stunning prowess on the six-string—the frenetic double finger-tapping, her jaw-dropping chops. But what often gets lost in translation is just how good and unique of a songwriter she is. Her music spans a wide gamut. There's the [...]

Modern Skirts , fueron hace unos años uno de nuestros descubrimientos favoritos, algo de lo que dejamos constancia con este post donde recomendábamos el magnifico "All of Us in Our Night". Hace unas semanas, los de Athens publicaban su tercer largo, "Gramahawk" , trabajo en el que han buscado un importante giro en su sonido, algo que han conseguido afrontando el proceso de grabación de forma mucho más casera , encargándose ellos mismos de la producción.

It's become very hip these days for bands to bust out of their usual routine for crafting songs and dabble with electronics and other more atypical recording methods. Chances are if you glance through your music collections you could come up with at least half-a-dozen bands who have taken the plunge. It's almost like it's some kind of music industry disease, and for better or for worse Modern Skirts have done such a thing. Granted the Athens, GA quartet was already beginning to forgo the piano-based rock that they debuted with on 20052s Catalog of Generous Men , but [...]
I guess I lost track of Modern Skirts somewhere along the line. Catalogue of Generous Men was one of my favorite albums back in 2004, but I never really got into 2008's All Of Us In Our Night and then at some point the band dropped off my radar. Following an EP last year that I totally missed, they are back with a full-length LP Gramahawk . The first thing you'll notice is how much their sound has evolved; much of the bouncy jangle has been replaced by electronic blips, art-rock twists [...]
Photography by Kalif Banane It's amazing anyone records in studios anymore, isn't it? Last week, we went pretty deep into why you as a independent band, should delete your myspace page. The response has been overwhelming! Bloggers & band members joined up in a pretty united voice recognizing that diluting your band by spreading them all over the internet for the sake of being heard vs. focusing and directing your potential new fans to, at most, one site for news/tours/vids (like a blog) and one site to stream/embed/PURCHASE (like bandcamp).

hey hey hey! athen's modern skirts have a new record out entitled gramahawk , their third, and it came out on tuesday i believe. maybe im totally spacing out and forgetting what the modern skirts sounded like, but i dont remember em sounding this way. not saying its a bad thing, im just saying i thought they were more in the poppy vein, but i am definitely enjoying the direction in which they're headed. gramahwak was apparently recorded in new orleans because the press release states that they spent "4 decadent and dangerous weeks" in [...]
In the past, The Modern Skirts have proved themselves to be one of the finest piano-laced indie pop groups in the western hemisphere. But, to be so damn good really seems to come with a price. The dreaded pigeon-holing effect becomes a factor. And any real artist, or avid listener, knows that this could very well mean the death of wonderful musical acts. The Skirts blasted out of nowhere in 2005 with an album that everyone couldn't stop loving. In 2008, they stepped their game up once again with [...]

Modern Skirts – Bumper Car
GA-316, a.k.a. University Parkway, is a popular route for Georgia bands traveling between Atlanta and Athens. But thankfully, the Modern Skirts and the District Attorneys will swap out their well worn interstate for a trip north on I-95. Fresh off Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Artwork of the Year awards from esteemed local weekly Flagpole , the DAs will join the stage with fellow rockers Moderns Skirts at Rock 'n' Roll Hotel on Friday night to play songs from their new albums. To hear each group's unique take on gritty Southern pop-rock, [...]
