01 - UCLA's Awaken Accapella - "Hide And Seek" (Imogen Heap Cover) . Two days ago, this magically appeared in my inbox courtesy of a friend . I don't have a clue about it except to say that it is amazing and gives me pleasant memories of The OC Season 2. | Website | Purchase | 02 - Brilliant Fanzine - "One In 10,000" . Lame band name, amazing intro. Who starts songs with " And "? Genius. [...]

Kids, you can forget about Coldplay and the Killers; Pela is ready for their close-up. With the September release of their new Exit Columbia Street EP (exclusively on iTunes) and their previous All in Time EP (out on Brassland ), the Red Hook band has essentially released the equivalent of one staggeringly perfect rock and roll record. So let the bidding war begin... Listen: Episodes (Diphenhydramine) from All in Time , The Trouble With River Cities and Lost to the Lonesome from Exit [...]
The band Pela have made available for download their recent WOXY Lounge Act performance - listen to Pela on WOXY here . Next Tuesday (11/14) tune in to WOXY for a Lounge Act performance from another great Brooklyn band (who practice in the same building as Pela, actually), Takka Takka . Other recent Lounge Acts of interest: Professor Murder , Up the Empire , Apollo Up! , Asobi Seksu , De Novo Dahl , Forget Cassettes , and Silversun Pickups
One of my favorite local bands, Pela, is back with Exit Columbia Street! An ode to their new digs, or as they declare it, 'this bumpy two lane street hugging the waterfront of Brooklyn. The view at times of the city is remarkable sometimes and other times just something in the distance. We lived there quite awhile.' It's available now on iTunes. To commemorate its release, they will be in town

Comin' atcha first thing every Monday morning, it's The Pony Track, a super-fantastic long distance dedication to BadmintonStamps Collective founding member Aaron "Pony" Child. No fancy links, no clever write-ups, 'cause these awesome songs don't need no splainin'. So c'mon, ride the pony!

The majority of the bands that end up here are already signed to a fine indie label, although quite a few are not. Pela is an example of a band that is not signed. I got a chance to take in their set at the Midwest Music Summit last month and was quite impressed despite their poor placement in the MMS lineup. They played early afternoon and there were only about a dozen of us in attendance. The band played a great set though, and I became an [...]
All good things must come to an end; even free internet. Seems whoever owned the network I was leeching off of caught wind and put up some encryption (weak).  And the cable guy isn't coming until Tuesday (double weak). Anyway, that means the next few posts will be brought to you via a Starbucks T-Mobile hot spot connection. Yeah, I know that might upset some of my hippie readers. I promise this is only temporary, guys. Dark Side of the Cop - Shaky Little Rules Are you looking for [...]
Track 5: Pela - Lost to the Lonesome And thus, the MFR/Brassland EP week draws to a close (with such amazing weather too! man, what a gift today was). Long time MFR fans/readers may recall that Blair posted this...

Pela was dead on at the Mercury Lounge Thursday. They even had somebody rig some special lighting for added drama. More at Product Shop . DOWNLOAD The Trouble With River Cities (MP3) Lost To The Lonesome (MP3)

I recently cobbled together the following tracks for a world-wide mix cd exchange. I figured that it's a shame not to share these with the readers here, so here ya go.

Episodes (Diphenhydramine) â€"— Pela 04. Attack of the Ghost Riders â€"— The Raveonettes [...]
Presenting 3 young bands that should be on everyone’s portable hard drive by this time next year. At no point in history has music been so accessible, all made possible by the internet and its portals like myspace, download.com and the myriad of mp3 blogs. But beware, there is plenty of chaff about the place so you may have to seek for a time before you amount anything resembling an aural
Pela has released two new tracks that have yet to be recorded. They are playing this week, July 27th, at the Mercury Lounge in NYC. [mp3] Good foot on a bad Doorstep (Banjo) [mp3] Bars In The Rain (Live @ World's Fair) The MySpace Listen to Pela @ The Hype Machine tags>> mp3 : download : pela :
This is really quite weird. Pela? Since when is Sally Forth on the cutting edge of up-and-coming anything? Relevant tags: [Music] , [Pela] , [Sally Forth] , [Newspaper comics]

Mp3 Soundtrack: Pela/[ MySpace ]: Venom This is off Pela's latest CD, All In Time. Which you can purchase here at CD Baby on the cheap. I've been hearing all about Pela lately , especially after the Norah Jones thingy. So when I was at my friends office the other day, and saw their album laying around in a bin, I grabbed it and took it home with me. I am so [...]
