Last year, the Chicago based music venue as Schubas brought the likes of Cursive, Department of Eagles, Bishop Allen, and Bear Hands for its annual five-day winter celebration/music festival, Tomorrow Never Knows . We were there and wrote a lot about it . Anyhow, for its 2010 edition, Schubas, now with their new venue, Lincoln Hall, available to provide some extra space, has taken TNK up a notch. After all, include to take part in this year's festivities, which takes place from January 13-17 at both Schubas and Lincoln Hall, are The Cribs, Voxtrot, Final Fantasy, [...]
DOWNLOAD: Voxtrot - Trepanation Party (MP3) The real story here is that Voxtrot still exists! Or at least they did for one night at the Mohawk in Austin on Saturday (11/7). It was one of a few Fun Fun Fun Fest afterparties and the Octopus Project was also on the bill. They're now a four piece (Jared left the band), and the little I caught of their set (I got there late) brought me right back to the pre-backlash stage of the [...]

Photography by Karin Well, if there is one thing that my little head cold, the chilly weather, and all the colourful leaves now wet and laying on the ground in my yard tells me... it's that 1) you CAN'T "beat" a cold with extra quantities of wine, coffee, and cycling and 2) Fall is in full force. I love Fall, it's unpredictable weather and all. Yeah, I may complain that it's too cold too early, but that's only because I wasn't ready to put on winter gear yet when riding my bike! But deep [...]
Hi my name is Paul but my friends call me Pretty Boy Paul. A bit on what I intend to convey in my dark little corner of the interweb. This serves mainly as a service to my friends that incessantly bug me for new music recommendations =) What you will find here is simply the music that I am currently listening to. The songs, bands, DJs, you will find disseminated across these entries will not necessarily be what is new, recent or emerging, though more likely than not that will be the case. But you [...]
I come from a long line of military people in my family. Uncles (My Uncle Manuel was in Vietnam, Uncle Phil was dodging bullets in Grenada in the 80's) Cousins (My cousin Eric fought in Operation Desert Storm & was photographed with General Schwarzkopf, lost my cousin Seth in Iraq a couple of years ago) & my Grandfather (My Grandfather holed up in a cave for 3 days in the Philippines in WWII with a bullet wound in his leg). So, needless to say, I have a strong affinity for the welfare of soldiers. Which is probably why I've been [...]

![[new] Voxtrot – Berlin, Without Return](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/1972884_lg.jpg)
This isn't quite "brand new" Voxtrot, but unless you follow the band religiously like me, you probably didn't hear about their relatively small new single release. The single is called "Berlin, Without Return". It also contains the b-side "The Dream Lives of Ordinary People". The vinyl release came out June 29th & was limited to 400 copies, while the digital release came out on August 3rd. The single got some decent appreciation from devoted Voxtrot bloggers, but definitely not the same type of blog love that their debut EP's got. It may be because a lot of people [...]
I was listening to some Voxtrot in the last couple days, and was reminded of just how stunned I was by the Mothers, Sisters, Daughters, and Wives EP when I first heard it three years ago. They managed to pack 9 or 10 perfect indie pop songs into five tracks, and I absolutely couldn't wait for a full-length from them. And then it arrived...and I really overstate how disappointed I was. They were clearly wary of the wave of hype that swept them up after those initial EPs and wanted to prove [...]
Today marks the two year anniversary of the first posting by this blog. Two years. Wow. 1,920 POSTS! Holy crap that's a lot. Personally I just want to say I really appreciate all the... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
Make no mistake about it, Voxtrot is one of those great Austin bands that seems to have disappeared for far too long, but the past year has shown some activity on their end. The band has just recently released a new 73 titled Berlin, Without Return . It's limited edition, and it boasts this great song, which sees the band fleshing out their sound with a little orchestral flourishes. Buy it. Download: Voxtrot - Berlin, Without Return [MP3]
My first post ever was on August 21, 2005, which was four years from today, and somehow I'm still here. I guess you could say this is my blogiversary (or my blograduation from Blog High). Anyway, in the spirit of wistful remembrance, I have a few images of what the site looked like in it's different iterations. For example, the image above is the first header I used (it only lasted about two weeks thankfully). I'll tell you now, a lot of these are not pretty, but hopefully you've all forgiven me for the some of [...]
Voxtrot veröffentlichten vor drei Jahren zwei Singles für die Ewigkeit. Ihr Debüt-Album 2007 ging darob etwas unter. Nun ist die Band mit einer neuen Single zurück. Und wie. "Berlin, Without Return" heisst Voxtrot erster musikalischer Output seit zwei Jahren. 2006 haben sie mit zwei Singles - "Mothers, Sisters, Daughters" und "Raised By Wolves" - mit eingängigem, sanften und trotzdem kickenden Indie-Pop auf sich aufmerksam gemacht. Danach folgte die Ernüchterung in Form ihres Debüts. "Trepantion Party" war im vergangenen März der erste Voxtrot-Aufschrei dieses Jahres. Mit einem Synthie-Pop-Song fiel dieser nicht [...]
This weekend, my bff Katie Curran, packed up her things and made the move from Minneapolis to New York. I thought it was only right to make her a mix to keep her company while on the road. And yes, Katie, my life would suck without you. *MP3: Voxtrot - "Start Of Something" *MP3: Camera Obscura - "Let's Get Out Of This Country" *MP3: Jenny Lewis - "See Fernando" *MP3: Coconut Records - "Microphone" *MP3: The Blow [...]

Photography by Tsuru Original Print available at the TSURUFOTO Etsy Shop With a flux of new music comes the potential of a new mixtape . All it takes for me is a song or two to stick like a dirty leech to my brain, then suddenly, I start searching out other songs floating around the iPod or iNternet or whatever, songs that hone in around those first few stand out songs. Usually, I'll end up with too many songs, in a [...]
