These United States have had a whirlwind year and the shenanigans aren't over yet. The group as made a 90's flava inspired video in "The Important Thing" and they will also be playing the Hi-Dive for New Year's Eve this year w/ Paper Bird ! Check out their KEXP sesh, here .

Words: Jonathan "Kos" Kosakow Each year, the CMJ Music Marathon descends upon New York City for five days in October. For bands, it is a chance to be discovered. For journalists, bloggers, photographers and the recording industry, it is an opportunity to stumble upon the next big thing. And for the fans, it is a chance to discover new music, a chance to witness the origins of a band, and perhaps more importantly, a chance to run around New York City for five days without [...]
Otro disco que conviene reseñar es E verything Touches Everything del grupo These United States, publicado el pasado 1 de septiembre bajo el sello United Interests y que viene a ser el tercer disco que la banda publica en tan solo 18 meses. Everything Touches Everything es un álbum de sonidos intensos, folk-rock con momentos enérgicos y de guitarras contundentes, como sucede en la canción que le da nombre, que se combinan con otros de sonido más pausado y melódico como por ejemplo The Secret Door , una bonita canción [...]
On Wednesday during CMJ I caught These United States at Pianos. The DC-based five-piece played a rockin' set that had the whole audience moving and grooving to their velvety, slide-guitar-laden Americana. Everyone seemed in good spirits, particularly lead singer Jesse Elliot, who was much more talkative between songs than the last few times I've seen them. It was a rather short set, but all in

After a variety of acts on day 1 , day 2 was more about contrasting venues. Having previously arranged tickets to see country/pop crossover hero Brad Paisley at the mammoth Madison Square Garden, it was bizarre to arrive at this legendary venue from such intimate spaces as Rockwood Music Hall and Piano's. The MSG show wasn't part of CMJ officially, but no matter, as the whole week takes on a much more extensive schedule than the official listings. So first up I [...]
I don't usually post tour dates on the blog, but I figured a lot of you might be interested in what cool shows have been announced in your area for the near future. I know I usually rummage the internet for such information. Here is this the touring news for the week ending 10/23, including dates for JUSTICE, Arctic Monkeys, Wilco, Julian Casablancas, Weezer, The Antlers, Neko Case, Andrew Bird, Free Energy, The Drums and These United States . JUSTICE DJ SETS 10-29 New York, [...]

I am TIRED so this is going to be brief (woohoo 2:27am on a Wednesday!). If you are funemployed, you should spend your day tomorrow at Pianos. Not only can you take advantage of their amazing happy hour dinner and drink specials, but you can watch These United States, Real Estate, Grooms, and Surfer Blood without moving a muscle. I love TUS's live show, I love Real Estate in general, and today I saw Surfer Blood and think that they're definitely worth checking out (Fans of Weezer, especially. Is that weird?). Also, I saw Grooms today, and they 100% won [...]
If it's mid-October in New York City, then it's CMJ Music Marathon time... five days and nights of music, film, informative panels, and parties that guarantee a good time, if your idea of a good time involves nonstop live shows from up-and-coming musicians from a variety of genres. Thing is, since you're reading EAR FARM, we're going to go ahead and assume that CMJ 2009 is your idea of a good time. Ours too. And it just so turns out that fourteen of our previously featured Bands of the Week are playing the festival [...]
Most Likely To: build your tolerance for lyrical tomfoolery. Oh, the weight of the word-she is a heavy burden to bear for the serious indie artist. Just ask These United States' lead dude, Jesse Elliot, and I am sure he would agree. The guy just can't catch a break from all us snobs who love to pick apart his prose, condemning his band's work on the basis of the lyrics alone. "Why bother singing at all," he might say, "when my goofy words just obscure what is otherwise a pretty good listen?" [...]
There's nothing quite like six hours of good, free music to get your CMJ juices flowing. Thanks Force Field PR!
Puppets and stop animated corn plus a tour, what's better than that?
I normally don't normally do big preview guides for festivals or concerts, but I feel like this time is pretty special. Boomslang is a three-day festival taking place this weekend in Lexington, KY that ranges over several venues all across town. The logistics of the festival are deceptively easy, so I figured I'd get my [...]
