If you came out to the Beachland Ballroom Saturday night hoping to hear the blues, you'd have left the venue damn well p*ssed. In spite of the American roots rock pedigree of Drummer's bassist, Pat Carney, aka, the drummer for the Akron blues, duo, The Black Keys, the assembled super-group of drummers who comprise the band, Drummer, stayed comfortably clear of anything resembling the blues, instead treating the crowd to a set of modern indie rock in the vein of Wolf Parade, complete with nerdy, prog-rock flourishes. Jon Finley (Beaten Awake, Party of Helicopters) was [...]

Somebody should take bassist Patrick Matthews from Youth Group to Dirty Frank's before Wednesday night's show at The Basement! The Australian band has made a few trips to Columbus since their inception in 2004 and their gentle brand of indie-pop (falling somewhere between Death Cab for Cutie and Teenage Fanclub ) is always welcomed. The band's latest (their 3rd U.S. release since 2004), The Night is Ours , is filled with tales of love and heartbreak and if the kids were still making mix CDs [...]
Future Sounds is proud to take part in this year's NEXT BIG NASHVILLE conference from October 7th through the 11th in Music City. We're doing 4 nights of showcases with our friends WOXY and the HOT FREAKS and having the first ever RUMBLE: NASHVILLE .

Other Girls is four grown men's last chance to not grow up. These men have made some serious sacrifices to keep music a part of their lives. With two of the band members expecting children, one band member working full-time as a plumber and one member working over-time as a carpenter it must have taken some serious multi-tasking and determination to get this project off the ground. The band recently released their debut album 'Perfect cities' in June through Audio Eagle Records and is currently touring in support of the release. It is a lame [...]

I'm told that the above is a factually based reenactment of an actual discussion with Doug Morris from Universal... the poor guy is so clueless he doesn't even understand what EAR FARM's Free Music Fridays are all about.

Some are EAR FARM favorites, some might be more your bag than ours, all are free for you to enjoy... just click the band name for the [...]

Sunday night wrapped up a rather moderate week of live music in Austin, but let's not forget that we've had a pretty awesome summer of live music. Fortunately for us at ATH, we were able to catch Foreign Born , The Veils and Other Girls at The Mohawk on Sunday night, just after we did our best to pretend to be entertained by the Anarchy Wrestling Tour outside of the Mohawk. [...]
Creators of one of our jams of summer , Foreign Born , are playing at Mohawk on Sunday evening. To make the show more enticing, The Veils and The Other Girls will be opening things up. For only $10 this should be a great way to close down your weekend. Doors are at 8pm. Download: Foreign Born - Early Warnings [MP3]
Who knew I had so many records in the virtual review stack. And who knew I had so many words in me. I think we can finally call an end to my recession induced writer's block. Oneida Rated O Brah/Jagjaguwar Any triple album, like Oneida's Rated O, contains a certain amount of selfishness on the band's part. When Oneida's Kid Millions discussed the album with Dusted Magazine , he made it fairly clear that [...]
American rock critics, after their oft-coldblooded fashion, took note of the battered heart of frontman Finn Andrews—son of XTC keyboardist Barry Andrews—since The Runaway Found first blipped the indie radar back in 2004. In this interview with Ron Garmon, Finn gives up a glimpse of characteristic romanticism while putting discreet end to some rumors.

Our new favorite band from Cleveland, OTHER GIRLS , have put together this High Fidelity meets MTV in the '80's music video for " Hey Fella, Ya Fell ", a song we debuted a few weeks back on the radio show but keeps growing on us by the day. More good news, they are supporting THE VEILS at Spaceland on July 15th. Thanks to the Diablo for the video... Other Girls: "Hey Fella, Ya Fell" from Theodore Mallison [...]

Starting tomorrow Foreign Born will be hitting the road performing all across North America with the likes of BLK JKS , Grizzly Bear , Warpaint , and most dates with The Veils .

Also joining Foreign Born and The Veils (who I am familiar with) will be Other Girls . Tickets will not be available for purchase in advance [...]
