INTERVIEW: Shakey Graves

SHAKEY GRAVES - Roll The Bones
If you haven’t yet heard lore of Shakey Graves then pay heed. Toting only his beat up six-string, vintage microphone and suitcase kick drum,  the Austin-based artist has in a little over a year both carved out his own genre of vagabond folk and redefined the term “one-man band.” Shakey Graves rarely, if ever, plays a song the same way twice, drawing off crowd energy, the tempo of his play and even octave of his voice to vacillate between schmaltz and boot stomping rock. His live performances are a sight to behold, and next Tuesday, June 25th you will have [...]

Marmalakes // Wells [Single]

Marmalakes // Wells [Single] Marmalakes - Wells I had the pleasure of catching Austin's own Marmalakes as well as Wild Child open the other night for Shakey Graves – and let me tell you, it was a night for the books. Shakey was everything I'd hope he'd be, and the new sounds from Wild Child were absolutely stellar – and along with that I made some new friend with the dudes of Marmalakes while enjoying their solid music making. If you happen to find your city on the other leg of this tour you absolutely [...]

Show Announcement // Shakey Graves @ The Riot Room

Show Announcement // Shakey Graves @ The Riot Room I will always look for an excuse to post about Mr. Alejandro Rose-Garcia, also known by the moniker Shakey Graves. He'll be playing this Sunday evening, June 16th, in Kansas City down at the Riot Room. For a mere $8 you can catch some of the best music originating from the heart of Austin right here in Kansas City as he'll be playing with Wild Child and Marmalakes. You can see the whole gang play a song in the first video below. Your idiot captain of a blogging ship will be there, probably singing terribly off key along [...]

Shakey Graves Digs Deep

SHAKEY GRAVES - Roll The Bones
Hello, I'm Brynn. I've been in love with and obsessed with music and musicians since pre-k. I went to school for it, I play piano, compose and sing my heart out on the daily. I'm here to introduce you to some sounds I live for and the people who make them-because what good is it all if you can't share it? I came across this one-man band recently, and have had his voice stuck in my brain ever since. With all the gimmicks and fancy stuff artists are throwing at you today, it's reassuring to discover a man [...]

Videos of the Day: Murder By Death || Shakey Graves || Nathan K. || Wolf Alice

Murder By Death - Lost River
Watch videos from longstanding MM faves Murder By Death who have a brilliantly animated film for Lost River and Shakey Graves who has a slightly disturbing one for Unlucky Skin .

Shakey Graves & Wild Child – SXSW Discoveries touring together

Shakey Graves & Wild Child – SXSW Discoveries touring together I actually found out about Shakey Graves and Wild Child at the same time. It was a week before SXSW and I was in Austin for business. I had a big night the night before and I was hungover on the pot at the Omni. There beside me was a magazine spotlighting SXSW. In that magazine were two local acts that really stuck out - Shakey Graves & Wild Child. I was lucky enough to catch both acts during SXSW. Now you'll be lucky enough to catch them together as they are heading on tour together. Shakey Graves [...]

SHAKEY GRAVES IS COMING TO TOWN [VIDEO]

SHAKEY GRAVES IS COMING TO TOWN [VIDEO] Undeniably one of the most talked about artists out of Austin right now, Shakey Graves has announced his upcoming tour with fellow indie folk artists Wild Child and Marmalakes . They've dubbed it the "Outside City Limits" tour, and to celebrate the announcement, all three artists got together and shot a cover of The Kinks "Dead End Street". So far, the artists have announced the following dates: 6/12 - Ft. Worth, TX @ The [...]

what winter could not kill :: a spring 2013 mixtape

We made it. I made it. Winter could not take us. I want to both berate nature for having inflicted all those cold, hellish months on me and thank it profusely for having whisked them away with chirping birds and blooming iris' and sunshine. This is the conundrum of the Midwest clime and it is one that baffles me every damn year, despite 30 of them here. Here, when it turns cold, you grit your goddamn teeth and steal yourself against the wind and you pray it's one of those [...]

SXSW Day 5: Experiencing One Or Two Technical Difficulties

Click to view slideshow. The final day of SXSW and I'm on a quest. Phosphorescent play their last show today and I have tried and failed to get into four previous ones already. So it is the long walk away from downtown and up to the San Jose Hotel day party, I arrive hot, bothered and five hours early...but I'm in! No matter either because Shakey Graves is on and he has been a longtime fave on MM, with an easygoing line in between song banter and exuding good natured bonhomie he [...]

SXSW Tuesday: Polyphonic Spree, Marco Lookalikes, Shakey Graves, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Japandroids

SXSW Tuesday: Polyphonic Spree, Marco Lookalikes, Shakey Graves, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Japandroids Before shifting its focus to music, SXSW encompasses Internet/technology and film. As you might expect, the tech portion has grown in importance in the last few years and those here for that part of SXSW cast mocking glances in my direction whenever I make use of my Blackberry. This Tuesday afternoon, it's interesting to walk around downtown Austin as the festival starts to shift its focus to its noisiest and rowdiest component. The gigantic Dominos stage that irked Father John Misty last year is in the process of being built and many of the outdoor stages still look [...]

Single Song Sunday: I’m On Fire (featuring 21 folk covers of Springsteen’s accidental gem)

Single Song Sunday: I’m On Fire  (featuring 21 folk covers of Springsteen’s accidental gem) A chance encounter with Asheville bluegrass quintet Town Mountain and their twangy, countrified cover of I'm On Fire at this weekend's Joe Val Bluegrass Festival - a dark and yet surprisingly charming version of the Bruce Springsteen classic song that chugs along like a train through the psyche - reminded me how deeply this particular classic is embedded in our national songbook. And a check back at our own archives confirms it: in the last twelve months alone, we've posted no less than four separate covers of the song, from Shakey Graves ' bedraggled [...]

dudes, new shakey graves :: story of my life

dudes, new shakey graves :: story of my life On the 2nd anniversary of Shakey Graves Day ( there's a fucking proclamation, man ), we have been graced with a little album of perfect perfection from the man himself in honor of the occasion. You have three days to snag it. DO NOT LIE IN WAIT. Last year and this, lovers of jams of the Shakey type were asked to upload (somewhere in the vastness of the internet) a photo of what they were doing to commemorate that day. I have no fucking clue what I did last year but this [...]
