They were the band who got a song with lyrics about having "dirt in your fries" to soundtrack a McDonalds commercial.

Coucou! Ça faisait longtemps hein? Après plus de cinquante jours sans internet (merci Orange pour sa superbe efficacité), il est temps de reprendre le chemin de ce blog avec un retour (un mois après du coup) sur mon dimanche soir à la Route du Rock de St Malo. J'attendais pas mal de cette soirée avec Here We Go Magic, Okkervil River, Cat's Eyes et Fleet Foxes au programme mais finalement le bilan a été plus que mitigé. Les texans d'Okkervil River ont été impeccables, avec un Will Sheff très énergique. Par contre, Here We Go Magic [...]
Tuesday night was awesome! As I walked into Lincoln Theatre , I told the door man I was on the list. He couldn't find my name. Needless to say, I was worried I was not going to get to see the show. He went to talk to someone and a few minutes later, everything was worked out and I pushed past the bar to a large crowd. Wye Oak was a few songs into their set as I moved toward the front. I saw them already in July, outside Lincoln Theatre during [...]
"The goal was to push my brain to places it didn't want to go.

America's economy limps along and our leaders bicker on, so how refreshing that Sir Richard Branson for the third consecutive year offered recession-battered music lovers another world-class music festival for free, only requesting the good karma be paid forward with a small donation to benefit homeless youth. Deadmau5 made history as the first electronic dance music act to close the festival on a stage previously played only by bands and hip-hop acts. Anyone new to deadmau5 definitely left schooled as the multi-genre Canadian producer, with a spectacular full-stage theatrical LED lighting extravaganza, struck a [...]

Okkervil River, with Wye Oak, last night at the Granada
The first time I saw — or heard of, for that matter — Austin's Okkervil River, they were opening for John Vanderslice at the Bottleneck and they were playing for approximately ten people. Their second album, Down the River of Golden Dreams , was just out, and they played their set with a packed-house intensity.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]
End of the Road 2011: Day 2 Roundup
The sunshine liked Friday at End of the Road so much it showed up for the Saturday too. Geordie songstress Beth Jeans Houghton doesn't really need the sun, having instead an impressively large band, but at least it helps remind everyone that they're not back in rainy Newcastle. Superb recent release 'Dodecahedrons' makes a welcome appearance with its glockenspiel and airy, Kate Bush-inspired vocal present and correct. Epic Danes Treefight for Sunlight take their '70s soft rock influences to [...]
Preview: Nor'easter Festival 2011
Last year we made a last minute decision and headed up to Loon Mountain in Lincoln NH to check out the Nor'easter Festival. With a lineup that included The Walkmen , Dr. Dog , Gaslight Anthem , Alberta Cross , Eli Reed & The True Loves and more, I knew there would be great music - but the festival exceeded all of my expectations. I'm sure festival organizers were hoping for a better turnout, but the small-ish crowds made for [...]

Okkervil River apresenta duas músicas em sessão acústica para They Shoot Music
Wake and Be Fine , principal single e carro-chefe de I am very far , último álbum do Okkervil River , foi gravada originalmente com diversos instrumentos, simultaneamente capturados, ao vivo e sem espaço para erros. Mas Will Sheff transportou, em uma bela sessão gravada para o They Shoot Music, Don't They?, a agitada Wake and Be Fine e seu lado b, Weave Room Blues , para outro habitat, combinando o acústico simples de violão e voz e uma paisagem bucólica. As faixas se adaptaram perfeitamente à mudança. Wake and [...]

Kicking Myself for Missing Okkervil River and Wye Oak
I was not in a music mood yesterday so I ended up doing other things. That was a bad decision because I ended up skipping out on an awesome show at the National by Austin indie rockers Okkervil River , which I heard was an amazing show from Karen , who goes to everything in this city. I hadn't heard anything from them or from opening act Wye Oak , but after listening to them, I'm floored by their awesome music and I'm bummed I didn't make [...]

Muso's Guide Singles Club: 12 September 2011
by Michael Waters The festival season is over. Basically. No more festivals. Clash-finder sheets and snuck-in arena beers are being slowly replaced with grimy puddles to drag your shoelaces through and an acute drop in Vitamin D to make you slowly spiral into depression, alone, in your stupid house that isn't even a tent. It's time to beat the Seasonal Affective Blues in the way that every 2010s net-savvy press-keen music lover does, week after week. Buy CD singles. Gescom 'Skull Snap' There [...]
