CMW Review: Sidney York, The Bright Light Social Hour, March 22, Supermarket

Mar 28, 9:16am The Panic Manual

You know what's great about CMW's website? Live streaming clickable tunes that give you a taste of the band's repertoire. Dear CMW: please do more of this. It's awesome. I relied on these clickable little gems last Thursday night to craft one amazing night of live music. After awaking from a power nap at 9:05 pm (!), I was clicking on random things by 9:34, and out the door to see Sidney York at the Supermarket by 9:45. If the internet has taught me anything, it's that sometimes you just don't know what you want until you click [...]

The Bright Light Social Hour - Shanty The Bright Light Social Hour - Back And Forth Austin rockers Bright Light Social Hour have already made a name for themselves with their manic, rip-roaring, incendiary live shows, and Bay-area folks should know this - especially after they just about tore the goddamned roof offa Crowbar back in May at WMNF's Tropical HeatWave.

THE MADNESS OF THE BRIGHT LIGHT SOCIAL HOUR

Jun 5, 2011, 11:24pm the WILD honey pie

Despite such a large talent pool, though, The Bright Light Social Hour (@tblsh) managed to walk away from the 2011 Austin Music Awards with both "Band of the Year" and "Album of the Year". They've also been steadily gaining national attention with NPR's broadcast of one of their electrifying 2011 SXSW performances. This band truly deserves every bit of buzz they've received recently. Why? Because this foursome is able to activate all five senses into a frenzy. Their [...]

CULTS(Indie)Good news everyone! Cults, who were one of the blogosphere's favorite hype-jobs last year (your humble MTIBers inculded), have released another song from their upcoming disc. This one has vindicated my opinion of them, that I (and the rest of the world) formed after hearing only their first released song "Go Outside", which was one of my favorite tracks of 2010.
