Beat City Radio #567: March 1, 2011: Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the Middle plus Garage Rock, Psych Rock, Psych Pop

Mar 19, 2011, 5:39pm Beat City Radio

Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the Middle with You (1972): Tonight's show features "Stuck in the Middle with You," the classic tune from 1972 by all-but-forgotten Irish Folk/Rolkers Stealers Wheel . The song was a planned success and peaked in 1973 at #6 on Billboard's Top 100 charts. Ironically, it is a rebuff of corporate practices, shrouded in bubblegum folk/pop, designed to achieve chart success by parodying Bob Dylan's vocal styling. Most of you will remember the scene from Reservoir Dogs that continues to re-ignite interest in [...]

Velvet Davenport – Warmy Girls

Dec 8, 2010, 4:00am The Line Of Best Fit

There can only be one explanation for it. Velvet Davenport ’s Parker Sprout must have been beamed through time and space from the 1960s. How else could his music remain so unspoiled by modern evils? How else could he be so seemingly unaware of the dark, crumbling world he now inhabits? Supposedly built around the stories of twelve separate characters, Warmy Girls is an upbeat and unabashed homage to 1960s guitar pop. The opening track ‘Mystery Michael’ shimmers with lo-fi Kinks-esque charm, while ‘Triangle Pear’ is more akin to The Beach Boys, with its intelligent [...]

New Music from Velvet Davenport

Nov 17, 2010, 2:26pm Austin Town Hall

Its pretty hard to find out a lot of info on this band, other than the fact that hail from a place one normally wouldn't associate with their musical stylings, Minneapolis.   Velvet Davenport , as the name would have you guess, have a gentle affection to their sound, extremely reminiscent of the 60s wave of Spector, yet done with an enjoyable bedroom recording quality. Their latest LP, Warmy Girls , is really a special gem, and something you'll surely be enjoying for some time to come.  You can grab it [...]

when you are out

Nov 11, 2010, 8:40am the great pumpkin

You occasionally have those bands that cross your path that if given out of context time is irrelevant, and it could have been produced anytime in the past 20, 30, even 50 years.  Velvet Davenport do exactly that with their catchy, yet subtle, psychedelic pop.  The type of music that can bring you back to warm spring and summer days just by dropping a needle, or as it is today pressing play. The first line of this delightfully stoner psychedelic pop that has intense guitars, but at the same time calm inducing. [...]

Warmy Girls.

Nov 8, 2010, 9:58am No Fear of Pop

Moon Glyph 's Steve Rosborough recently sent over Velvet Davenport 's upcoming LP Warmy Girls , which will be released November 16. The record is going to be the band's third offering via our favorite Minneapolis, Minnesota imprint, and it's another step ahead for their beautifully jangly psych pop that is so pleasantly reminiscent of The Kink's best offerings. Minneapolitan Parker Sprout and the five other musicians he has gathered around him manage to deliver an incredibly warm and harmony-dripping album, every tune is stuffed with catchy guitar and organ hooks. Of course, not only the band's abstract [...]

Velvet Davenport: Warmy Personal Routine

Velvet Davenport: Warmy Personal Routine Here’s some more Moon Glyph goodness for y’all, this time from Velvet Davenport (of whom we’ve sung many praises). Summer may be long gone, but these guys don’t care- they’re still content writing sunny beachside jams. Like “When You Are Out” and “White Blue” , “Warmy Personal Routine” (from the forthcoming Warmy Girls LP) is shamelessly, wonderfully retro. Between the airy, wistful jangle and glowing vocal harmonies, [...]
