The 2012 SXSW Music Festival kicks off next week with 12 Scottish bands set to invade Austin. Unfortunately the weather forecast suggests that they may be bringing the Scottish weather with them. Nevertheless I'm sure that the barbeques will still be fired up and the margaritas will still flow. On Monday we'll publish the full [...]
Phil Sharp It took me a while to warm to England's Metronomy - perhaps not unusual considering how deliberately chilly their particular vein of electro-pop tends to be. But warm to it I did, or at least to their 2011 Mercury-shortlisted album The English Riviera ; just not quite in time to catch them on their last pass through town last October. I was still recovering from Iceland Airwaves and had something like four or five other shows that week - something had to give, and it was Metronomy. [...]
Song obsessions are those songs that get stuck in your head. This series of posts isn't about what I or the other panel members think is best, but what our brain latches onto, those ear worms that loop around and around in your head. - Adrian ( me ): The Black Keys - Lonely Boy (mp3) ( buy ) The DJ before me on KZSU played the Black Keys in 2004 and I've heard them off and on [...]
With VISA issues out of the way, Scottish band The Twilight Sad finally made it to The Echo. Opener Micah P. Hinson was a pleasant surprise. He thought no one was there to hear his Americana sound. He was indeed wrong. The Texan artist tried to hurry off the stage when his time was up, but members of The Twilight Sad urged him to continue much to the delight of the crowd. It was now a little late but perfect timing for The Twilight Sad. Although its heavy, dark and very loud sound could fill a larger venue, [...]
The Twilight Sad: No One Can Ever Know - The Twilight Sad are a shoegazer pop band from Kilsyth, Scotland. If you've never heard them before, the first thing that stands out above everything are James Graham's vocals: A thick-accented and soulful vocalist whose lyrics consistently conjure graphic images of life. The music has always been shoegazer at its core and continues to be a constant on this record. I'd compare them to someone, but they have entirely their own sound and once you've heard them, I challenge anyone to come up with a band who [...]
Inseriti frettolosamente dentro il calderone emul-rock (termine usato a sproposito dalla critica e spregevole almeno quanto il sound sciapo di tante band formato NME che non hanno nulla di originale per davvero...) gli scozzesissimi Twilight Sad si sono dimostrati abili nell'elaborare un songwriting superiore e un sound maturo e intensissimo, capace di smarcarsi con grande maestria dai più ovvi derivativismi, frutto di un mix tra i più riusciti degli ultimi anni tra stoica eleganza e ruvida spontaneità, tra ossature post-punk, alcune aperture di post-rock tumultuoso e mai banali sporcature shoegaze. Con il terzo album in [...]
MyOldKentuckyBlog.com will once again journey to land of tacos and honey for our annual SXSW debauchery. We're excited to be a part of three parties this year. Here are two for ya... As usual, we'll be at Peckerheads on 6th on Friday 3/16 for another 15-band-extravaganza! We're bringing back VAYA CON TACOS , but you know yer gonna have to get there early to get a handful of those tasty vittles from Taco Cabana! We've teamed up with INDIGENOUS PROMOTIONS and KNUCKLE RUMBLER for this fun event. [...]
Your terrific Tuesday, starting with our own monthly event: ► Buzz Bands LA's monthly songwriter night at Lot 1 Cafe in Echo Park features Sara Radle — her new album "Same Sun Shines" came out two weeks ago — along with Andrew Carroll & Jessi Williams of the Lonely Wild, Zenda Marie, Amy Rieckelman and Chris McRitichie. ► Scottish rockers the Twilight Sad headline the Echo behind their new album "No One Can Ever Know" (out last month). Micah P. Hinson and Pageants support. That's the Twilight [...]
Well, it's a vulgar headline, but you know I will. No-one wants to be that stupid prick at the world's busiest music festival with not a fucking soul at his fucking picnic. So honestly, please come! In all honesty, I think you'll struggle to find a finer lineup for an afternoon's entertainment. Blitzen Trapper are headlining. Mute's Big Deal are playing too, who I discovered courtesy of the brilliant PAWS covering one of their songs for our June split 123. Jonathan Meiburg from Shearwater will be playing a stripped back set with an electric guitar and a backing [...]
The Twilight Sad live on KEXP from KEX Hostel during Iceland Airwaves '11 photo by Michael Matynka Another fantastic week of shows ahead with something for just about every taste. Starting Monday, Yukon Blonde and Jon Pontrello are at the Sunset. Tuesday, Cloud Nothings are at the Crocodile, Punch Brothers are at Neptune Theatre, and Crocodiles are at Sunset Tavern. On Wednesday, Slow Club is at the Sunset, and the Love Me Some Townes Van Zandt show is at the Tractor featuring [...]
Toronto - Before attending The Twilight Sad's recent show at Lee's Palace, I was a bit curious as to how the material from their latest, the synth-heavy No One Can Ever Know , would translate live. As it turns out, it translated quite well and in fact, ended up blending in pretty well with their older material. A series of harsh, beeping synth sounds signalled the band's entrance, and also made me wonder whether there was an ancient computer nearby into which I should be entering the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42. Any such fantasies quickly dissipated [...]
Happy weekend, guys and dolls! I know it's cold and gloomy outside, but you can't celebrate the fourth annual Windy City Winter Ball without a little snow/sleet/freezing rain. And you definitely couldn't ask for better weather for when Scotland's the Twilight Sad ride a wave of depression into town. Hike up those snow boots and let's get going. FRIDAY THE TWILIGHT SAD You'll be hard-pressed to find a [...]
Frank Yang As I understand it, conventional wisdom is that Leap Day should be taken as an opportunity to try something new. But seeing as how prior to this year I've never thought of February 29 as anything more than an extra day of Winter every four years, I don't feel bad that I spent it seeing a band I've seen many times before - Scotland's The Twilight Sad , in town in support of their third album No One Can Ever Know [...]
Photos by G. James Graham of The Twilight Sad On February 25, 2012, Scottish rockers The Twilight Sad performed at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn. The band recently embarked on a US tour, but due to VISA problems (read: please get it together USA, WTF?!), the band was denied entry into the country for 5 days forcing them to cancel some dates. The Twilight Sad is here now and their show was incredible! I saw them perform two years ago and that show was my [...]

OFFICIAL SITE / YOUTUBE The Twilight Sad have, for me, always been a band whose sound well matches their monicker. Downbeat, introspective, and with layers of peculiar beauty, it's not hard to imagine aimless wanders along the Clyde at dusk, searching for something all too intangible.

Teen Daze : Lets Groove Τί κοινό έχει το μετρό με το γυμναστήριo; Πολλά. Περισσότερα από όσα μπορείς να φανταστείς. Και εξηγούμαι. Τον τελευταίο καιρό έχω βγάλει από τη καθημερινότητά μου διάφορα πράγματα μεταξύ των οποίων τη γιόγκα και το αυτοκίνητο. Το δεύτερο γιατί υπάρχει πια το μετρό και το πρώτο γιατί μετά από αρκετά χρόνια αυτοελέγχου, διαλογισμού, ομφαλοσκόπησης και αυτοπεριορισμού σκάλωσα στο ότι δεν αρκεί να γίνω εγώ καλός άνθρωπος. Ίσως είχε νόημα αν κάναμε διαλογισμό όλοι οι Αθηναίοι μαζί για παράδειγμα. Αστειεύομαι. Θα ξαναπέσω κάποια στιγμή φρόνιμα στο [...]
