"The Plastic Pals was formed in Spring 2005. Guilty as charged is singer/songwriter/guitarist Hawk, aka Håkan Soold, who brought together Anders Sahlin (a guitarist who Hawk played with in the band Piglet in the 1980s) with Sweden´s answer to Sly & Robbie Olov Öqvist (drummer with Caroline Says/Cleveman Rössel Band and Wan Light) and Bengt Alm (bass player with Caroline Says/Cleveman Rössel Band and Wan Light). They released their debut album `Good Karma Café` in 2008. A somewhat americana-tinged affair, and yet still true to the twin guitar-paisley-garage-powerpop -New York rock aesthetics the band presented on their debut EP `The Band That´s [...]
Native America + Netherfriends + Pals performing at CIRCLE BAR!!!!!!!!!!!! on February 2, 2012 Tweet
02.02: Native America + Netherfriends + Pals - CIRCLE BAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! During it's yearlong absence, the New Orleans music scene did pretty well for itself without Circle Bar around. Shows that probably should have (and technically would have) gone down at Circle Bar found a variety of alternative homes to varying but mostly admirable levels of success. The Blue Nile Balcony Room, AllWays Lounge, Howlin' Wolf Den, Hi-Ho Lounge, The Saint and many others picked up huge amounts of slack; so much so that for certain strenuous stretches of the year, when the live [...]
Pal is Albin Johansson hailing from Malmö. In December he launched the 7-track debut album "Weeks". It's about a rather soft, dreamy pop, a bit minimalistic. The mix of analogue synths, guitars, old drum machines and often a nice rolling bass give a special feeling to the sound. It feels a little retro and I can't help thinking of Air when I listen to the harmonies and the bass figures. A very nice new acquaintance and you can listen to the entire album on Pal's Bandcamp page . The name Pal, Albin invented in 2007 when he uploaded [...]

Not to be outdone by Scottish balladeer Susan Boyle , David Guetta also performed on America's Got Talent last night, and he brought along his "Where Them Girls At" cohorts Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida. It was the trio's first performance of the song together on TV, and they managed to transform the Nick Cannon-hosted shindig into a hopping club for a good four minutes or so. And if anyone knows how to get the crowd screaming this week , it's Nicki. Watch below.
Comet Gain As if you were suffering from some musical malaise, along comes a double dose of Comet Gain – "Heartbreakers" (Sunday) and "Floorshakers" (Monday) - to perk up your flatulent indiepop constitution. Rob Sekula from 14 Iced Bears kicks off the 'Heartbreak' evening with his first solo acoustic show ever. In truth, Rob Sekula is a lot better as a glass-half-full troubadour than as a glass-half-empty balladeer and [...]

When asked by Matt Lauer if he's taken time to stop and analyze his formula for being a successful [...]
Brooklyn's Celestial Shore release a 7" through Double Denim Records on 5th July. West Coast harmonies meet frentic Dirty Projectors-a-like post-jazz-rock on A side 'Pals' although the dreamy B-side 'Maps' is the real choice pick.

![[MP3] Celestial Shore: “Pals”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3539968_lg.jpg)
We've heard rumblings of the harmonizing math-rockish Brooklyn band Celestial Shore but up until this weekend, when the group opened our Northside show at The Woods, I hadn't been exposed to the full experience they offer. And in the midst of dealing with two lame-ass malware hacks on IGIF and Small Plates, I discovered that our label buds at Double Denim are putting out the following, rather sunnily virulent track called "Pals" » [MP3] Celestial Shore - Pals "Pals" goes all over [...]
New York's Celestial Shore have a new limited edition 73 coming out on July 5. Pals/Place Aux Dames will be released by Double Denim , the label responsible for introducing the world to Seapony last fall. Check out the A-side "Pals", a short, sunny jam that equally recalls The Beach Boys and Dirty Projectors. DD006 A1: Celestial Shore // Pals by Double Denim Records
"Animal Show" is Pterodactyl 's fitting yearly art show where a menagerie of beasts become the muses that are used to depict the artists' projection of myths, fantasies, and ideas.

Eat Your Birthday Cake have been working on an album that is set to be unveiled in the spring. They've even debuted a lo-fi shoegaze-y sound that can be heard on new material such as "Kathy + Ken". The Pterodactyl event will be the bands 2nd performance [...]
