We were at the release show for Spanish Prisoners ' new EP, Los Angeles Guitar Dream ( our review here ), on Saturday. It was our first time seeing front-man Leo Maymind play with a full band, which we enjoyed. While listening, it occurred to us that, live, there are casual hints of Neil Young and Crazy Horse to their sound. Also, as we readied the photos below for posting, we had the band's 2007 full-length, Songs To Forget , playing and suddenly got the feeling that there's perhaps a bit of a Harry Nilsson influence [...]

Another day, another batch of new videos. In this rotation, a band that EF has long been a fan of (Bowerbirds), a band that we've recently gotten to know - and that you now know a bit more about thanks to Leo's great guest piece on Wednesday - (Spanish Prisoners), and a band that we need to get to know much better judging by this excellent (and brand new) single (The Subjects). So there you have it, watch and get to know all three for yourselves, you won't be disappointed. [...]
From the Inside Looking Out is our opportunity to have musicians tell us a bit about the music world from their point of view. This time around, we're thrilled to have Leo Maymind from Spanish Prisoners detail his experience opening for and playing with Daniel Johnston . Daniel and I sat on a small, squat couch in a room filled with people. I had no idea whom most of them were, and I'm fairly certain Daniel knew or cared who they were either as he sipped on a diet soda and stared into [...]

Maybe it's the time of year (summer), maybe it's the day (Thursday was the new Friday before Wednesday was so now it's the new Saturday?), or maybe we're just biased, but there seems to be LOTS going on tonight. To help your decision-making process, consider our latest mini-mix below and choose your own adventure.... 1. "Rio Grande" - Brian Wilson (@ Asser Levy Park, Coney Island) 2. "Some Among Then Are Killers" - Spanish Prisoners (@ Union Pool) [...]
I've been roaming around CT the last few days looking like a bleary eyed girl after a concert still wearing my bright yellow ear plugs. (Our office is one of those creative, open, loft-like spaces with no ceilings on the offices or conference rooms, which makes it really loud; thus, the ear plugs are necessary to get me through the day.) Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything since my busy weekend of live music, but am just suffering from some crazy headaches. I have no idea where these are coming from, but I'm hoping that a little live music [...]

Community Gun is a folk/blues/punk band from Highland, New York. Band members include Josh Bass(guitar), Cove Aaronoff(vocals), Teddy Marsh(drums), and Sam Wolk (bass). They list Tom Waits as one of their influences and you can certainly hear it in their music. They are currently not signed to any label, but really should be. That's about all I know of this band...except Before She Goes is one wicked, bad-ass track! Community Gun - mp3: Before She Goes [...]
