Texas-based indie rock luminaries' brief tour includes dates with the legendary Karl Hendricks Trio , Philadelphia shoegaze giants Arc In Round , and the veritable supergroup Martha's Vineyard Ferries (which features Chris Brokaw , Bob Weston and a fellow named Elisha Weisner). Tre Orsi 's debut long-player Devices + Emblems was released by Princeton, New Jersey's Comedy Minus One earlier this summer. Martha's Vineyard Ferries, heretofore unheard of by us, joins Tre Orsi on the first three dates. The Ferries apparently will issue in a [...]
>> You'll be excused for mistaking Tre Orsi 's exceptional new rocker for a new, more aggressive track from California-based indie concern CoCo B's . Or even an old track from the late, lamented Lefty's Deceiver . But no, in fact Tre Orsi is Tre Orsi, and you will likely start hearing the name more and more with the release of the Denton, Texas-based indie rock act's debut full length. The collection is titled Devices + Emblems , and it will be released digitally by the rock-solid Comedy Minus One label June 8; the [...]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars The burgeoning music scene in Denton, Tx has long been known for releasing quality music; Tre Orsi is apparently going to be another one of those bands. Recently, they've gotten some press for their appearance on Casual Victim Pile compilation by Matador, but Devices + Emblems gives the group a more definititve sound. From the onset of this album you can tell that there is a brooding sense of [...]
Tre Orsi recently popped up on the Matador Austin Compilation , though the band is a three piece from Denton. This is probably due to the fact that we'd like to claim them as our own due to their rocking live shows, and their powerful sound. The band will be releasing their album, Devices + Albums , on March 23rd through Works Progress Records . Production credits go to Bubba Kadane of Bedhead ( The New Year too) fame, so you know [...]
Vous ne le savez peut-être pas, mais Austin, au beau milieu de l'état le plus conservateur et presque le plus riche des États-Unis, alias le Texas, abrite une scène musicale hautement active et connue around the world . Ce, grâce à une petite rue, la 6ème, qui accueille plus de 200 salles de concerts en son sein, et qui a donné naissance à nombre d'artistes talentueux et singulièrement variés. Dans le désordre : Janis Joplin, Buddy Holly, Meat Loaf (oui), Pantera et les Destiny's Child, sans oublier Vanilla Ice et Daniel Johnston. Qu'est-ce que ça nous dit? A peu [...]
Eric Edward Fishboy, Texas native and Fishboy frontman, took a few minutes away from his busy schedule of writing quirky, knee-slapping numbers to remember one of his favorite underrated bands from the Lone Star State. The defunct band I've chosen to write about is a legendary Denton indie rock outfit that never seems to get enough credit: Little Grizzly . Realized as a full band in the late '90s and breaking up in mid 2004 at the release show for their final [...]
Wednesday, February 3, 2010 If you live in Austin you've probably heard of Matador Records new compilation album, Casual Victim Pile - Austin 2010. You're probably also aware there's a three day release party at Beerland starting tomorrow night. But, mostly importantly, have you actually listened to the album yet? Well, if you haven't, trust me when I say that you're missing out! Before we delve into my favorite tracks though, let's explore the back story a bit, shall we? The man behind the album meant [...]

If you're in NYC and you love Transference , or any other pitstop along Spoon's reliably banging discog for that matter, you might want to head to Mercury Lounge like three hours ago. The band's playing a show at the 200-capacity E. Houston Street venue tonight, tickets available at the door, first come first served. If the line's already 200-people deep at this point (likely), the next best thing we can offer are sights and sounds from a similarly intimate session the band played for KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic in [...]
It's always a bummer when a promising band decides to call it quits. But, sadly, Denton-based project The Make Believers is doing just that: The band's promoting its Saturday gig at the Fra House as i... Continue reading "The Make Believers Call It Quits (Unless They're Just Pretending)." >

Chris from Good Records e-mailed me about their 9th Birthday Party, taking place April 18.

There will be two stages filled with pleasant sounds. There will be sustenance and libations to satisfy your hunger and quench your thirst respectively. There will be a plethora of special releases that you can't [...]
