♥: (click on the heart to get a download of a song by one of my favorite Paul Epworth-produced bands): ► These guys know how to do special occasions: L.A. quartet Saint Motel does a night called "Heartbreaker's Hideaway" at downtown's Belasco Ballroom. Races also performs at the KCRW-sponsored event that features burlesque dancers, DJs, a photobooth and more. ► Ms. Lauryn Hill holds forth at the Hollywood Palladium. ► Audra Mae & the Almighty Sound celebrates their album release [...]

Baltimore based "chilling out" masters Vacationer are having a big 2012 already. The band, who makes music that makes you feel like you're on a vacation (pun intended) just released the first single, "Gone", from their LP of the same name on January 31st. The new album was produced by members of NYC "chilling out" faves Body Language and will be released March 20th via Downtown Records. The band is currently in the middle of a tour with Denmark's Asteroids Galaxy Tour through February and then will be supporting the Naked and Famous on [...]
The dress code Tuesday night at Lincoln Hall was glitter. Although I, and most of my fellow concert-goers, didn't get the memo until too late, each of the band members of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour rocked a glittery accoutrement: the horn section sported glittery bowties, the percussion section rocked a glitter lined denim jacket, the guitarist wore a glittery vest and the lead singer jammed in a glittery tunic and sparkly jeggings. The band shone. Literally and figuratively. It didn't hurt that the evening was peppered with unexpected and awesome instruments which included a saxophone, a [...]
The Asteroid's Galaxy Tour (once again) rocked their performance in NYC and played at the Irving Plaza. It wasn't too long ago where they played at the Bowery Ballroom. There were several similarities within the shows: the size of the venue, the wooden floors were shaking from the uncontrollable movements of the crowd, Mette was stunning as always, and their standout jazzy tones captured the audience's heart. The one major difference was that they just released their new album, Out of Frequency, that day. We were all in for one big surprise…. They opened with a [...]
Pairing funk-inspired rhythms with psychedelic synth and a healthy dose of brass, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour channel big band soul gone 21st century. The feel is perhaps best encapsulated by the glittering silver bow ties worn by the band's two-man horn section: retro, futuristic, and a whole lot of fun. The Danish sextet took the stage at Union Transfer on Feb. 2 as part of the tour marking the release of its second album Out of Frequency . Based in Copenhagen, the band garnered international attention when a number of songs [...]
Most of the new releases for this week dropped on the last day of last month, making January a pretty rad month for new releases after a relatively slow start (which is typical right after the holidays), and a great way to kick-off the 2012 music calendar. In case you missed any of IRC's Best [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Add The Asteroids Galaxy Tour to your list of "worthwhile bands you didn't realize you already knew." The work of this jazzy psychedelic-pop duo has been featured in numerous television shows and commercial advertisements. Browsing through the selections on your iPod Touch might stir up memories of the 2008 Apple commercial that introduced The Asteroids Galaxy Tour's first single, "Around The Bend." Cracking open an icy Heineken, meanwhile, might remind you of "The Golden Age," featured in last year's beer campaign. Though ad-related publicity has, in part, kept The Asteroids Galaxy Tour's popularity afloat for the last two and [...]
Harley Weir No question, the first thing that needs to be addressed is their name. Even in an era with no shortage of terrible band names, Trailer Trash Tracys is an exceptionally terrible band name; the London quartet would probably be the first to admit it. But if there's an upside to it, it's that it offers no clues to what their debut album Ester might hold, so you've no choice to experience it with an open mind, if perhaps also lowered expectations. Not that pressing [...]
For what seems like the longest time now, I had always seen the name The Asteroids Galaxy Tour floating around the web. One of those instances where I knew they were a "thing," knew people enjoyed them enough, but had never really taken the time to listen to them myself. Not a bias thing by any means, but ignorance by way of my busy music tastes. So as I sat down with Out of Frequency for the first time, I literally had no what to expect. And what was my gut reaction after hearing the Asteroids [...]

My love for The Asteroids Galaxy Tour comes from the time they were starting to promote music. I clearly remember to read about them and i instantly fell in love. At the time i knew they were going to be big. Their super cosmic pop full of soul, makes feel happy. Their latest album "Out of Frequency" is slightly different from their first productions, more directed to the dance floor, but still excellent. This single "Heard Attack" already counts with a remix by CSS and now with this amazing one from Cosmic Kids . Really, really good [...]

Arthur Matos - Seu lugar Com clima caseiro, o sergipano Arthur Matos , que fez sua estreia com a banda Nantes em 2010, lança seu primeiro álbum solo, Seu Lugar . Bêbado de referências folk como o Fleet Foxes , Matos entrega um trabalho intimista e psicodélico com letras bastante pessoais e trabalhadas, muitas vezes sendo mais priorizadas do que a melodia em si. Mas apesar disso, a melodia também se mostra um dos investimentos do trabalho às vezes. Em Voltando Ao Seu Lar , encontramos a [...]
This album is unlike anything else you will hear in pop music today. Out of Frequency is an imaginative and inspired mix of 602s mod pop, 702s psychedelic funk, the raw energy of 902s house and today's indie-pop to create a retro-futurist sound that is inescapable and captivating. The Asteroids Galaxy Tour packs more soul and sonic cleverness into 13 tracks than some bands pack into an entire career. Mette has a voice that is as distinctive and enthralling as their biggest supporter, the late Amy Whinehouse . That same distinctive and sweet voice is [...]
Remember when Merge Records was synonymous with genre-defining indie rock and had a whole roster of bands whose albums you couldn't wait to get your hands on? Well, guess what? They still are, and do! The venerable Durham, North Carolina, label proves they're still up to their game with two releases this week in heavy rotation at KEXP. Bay Area veterans Imperial Teen return with their fifth album overall and their third on Merge, Feel the Sound , which, according to our Music Director, Don Yates, "continues to refine and expand upon their infectious blend of power-pop, [...]

The artist that everyone will probably have their eye on this week is Lana Del Rey . Breaking big as an "internet phenomenon," she's the type of act that should be heralding a new way forward for the music industry. But after a disastrous performance on SNL , the internet has turned against her, proving that signing an untested act to a major label deal might not be the best investment for the music biz. Luckily, we don't have to depend on Del Rey for a good week in music. Time-tested artists like Metallica , Leonard [...]
