I had to ask about the van. How could I not? The infamous eBay listing cropped up the very same day as my scheduled interview with Dale Crover. After quickly pointing out that the band "got rid of that thing a long time ago" and were in no way involved in this auction, the longtime [...]
Tweak Bird are playing a rare show at London's Lexington tonight, and to celebrate they've released both sides of the Forget Em 7" for you to listen to. The b-side is a cover of T Rex's 'Children of the Revolution', which I'm sure they'll play tonight if you ask them nicely. If you can't see them tonight, go see them at Bestival in September. Oh...wait...that's sold out too. Well, if you have a ticket and you like the band make sure you go see them.

Pünktlich zur Zeugnisausgabe bin ich dann doch wieder an Bord. Ich sehe das Musikjahr ein wenig positiver als Ric, wenn auch mit einem leicht negativen Beigeschmack: Denn im Grunde ist es hinfällig, wie viele großartige Songs das vergangene Jahr hervorgespült hat, man wird es immer mit Lena Meyer-Landruts Siegersong „Satellite" beim Eurovision Song-Contest in Verbindung bringen. Alben des Jahres 1. The Soft Pack – The Soft Pack Ich nutze lastfm hauptsächlich dazu, die Profile der hippen Amerikaner nach neuen [...]
Here at MM we share, chat, argue, bury and praise music on a pretty regular basis…like daily. So throughout the year, the Mackerel crew (Mrs Mackerel, Barry-Sean, Christy-Popper, Dr Roddy, Polly Pocket, Starbar, MM and others) keep their own ever-changing top tens ready for publication at the climax of the festive season. So here are MM's ten favourite tunes from 2010 - no claims on them being the best, but for many different reasons, these are the tracks that most struck a chord (no pun intended). 10 Phosphorescent - The Mermaid Parade ( Download [...]
So after much deliberation, head scratching, discussion, and more head scratching, we have MM's favourite albums of 2010. And we choose our words very carefully here, because we would not presume them to be the best, only those that have given us the most pleasure and enjoyment, records that we have returned to again and again, and for whatever reason have captured a moment or special place in our hearts. And while we have limited our selection to 25 albums there were many, many more that could have, and maybe should have, featured. But there that's the beauty [...]

Unter dem Namen Tweak Bird machen zwei Brüder aus Illinois proggige Heavy-Mucke. Auf ihrem neuen Album hat dabei auch ein Saxofon ein Wörtchen mitzureden. Black Mountain sind live schlichtweg mind-blowing. Wer es als Vorgruppe eines solch wuchtigen Headliners schafft, einen bleibenden Eindruck zu hinterlassen, der hat was auf dem Kasten. So auch Tweak Bird , die ihren Support-Slot auf der gemeinsamen Europa-Tour mit fuzzgetränkten Hammer-Songs zu füllen wussten. Vor zwei Jahren haben Tweak Bird die EP " Reservations [...]

Yes, Tweak Bird's summer turned out to be a bit of a bummer thanks to Mondo Generator dropping off the tour. That being said, I'm sure they'll have plenty of time to get over the disappointment as they traipse across Europe this Fall in support of their self-titled full-length debut. Definitely a record worth checking out. Sadly, the new video for Lights In Lines is the last we'll be seeing of Caleb and Ashton for the foreseeable future. Their mom must be so proud. [...]
Le premier album des frères Caleb et Asheton Bird (de Carbondale dans l'Illinois) est court, moins de 28 minutes. Ca tombe bien on aime bien les albums courts par ici; cela nous permet d'une part s'il sont bons de les ré-écouter très vite, d'autre part s'il sont mauvais de passer à autre chose aussi vite. Dans le cas de ce 'Tweak bird' autant vous dire que le bouton "Repeat" s'impose. Dans la profusion de sons primaires qui distinguent la musique de Tweak Bird , on pensera vite fait aux [...]
We've already posted Tweak Bird's superb A Sun Ahh Ahh , which is certain to feature in our end of year Best Of list. Now the Illinois based brothers have made a second track available for free download in advanced of their self titled album which is released on August 30th. Lights In Lines is another excellent example of their space travelled themed psych-rock and further whets the appetite for the album proper. Visit their MySpace here . Visit their website here .

Boris Whew. Congrats, Chicago. You survived Lollapalooza 2010. Until next year or some such. Anyway, if you didn't make it down to Grant Park last weekend, relive the madness in our complete wrap up of Lollapalooza's Friday , Saturday and Sunday ! And just because the big two summer fests are done does not mean that there's a shortage of shows this weekend in Chicago. This weekend we highlight Boris and Russian Circles at the Metro , Rabble Rabble at the Empty [...]

I'd post anything from these guys just based on the album cover, but luckily Tweak Bird's self-titled LP is filled not only with heavy stone-jams, but also with woodwinds. (And is currently plugging the hole in my heart left by the disappointing new Early Man album.)

I've been acquainting myself with the latest self-titled album from Tweak Bird over the past week. While I'm still getting to grips with it one thing stands out, brothers Caleb and Ashton Bird do the raucous old-school rock riffage pretty damn well. They remind me of hearing The Black Velvets first time around - some [...]
For the last half an hour I've sat here trying to think of an incredibly funny and witty pun to write regarding the fact that Tweak Bird are a difficult band to pigeon-hole. Alas, its a Monday evening so my brain is refusing to think that way. (If anyone thinks of one then comment below; the best one will win a prize) Right, moving on. Difficult to pigeon-hole they may well be but let's not forget that Illinoise duo Tweak Bird are also ruddy brilliant. Thankfully, on top of that, they're also very generous and have [...]
