Watch The Bridge Session, National Members Playing With Bob Weir

Mar 26, 11:25am Stereogum

On Saturday night, Bob Weir, the Grateful Dead legend, played a show at his own TRI Studios in San Rafael, California. At the show, he was backed by a one-off band called the Bridge Session. As Rolling Stone reports , that group included the National's Aaron Dessner and Bryan and Scott Devondorf, as well as Doveman and members of the Walkmen, Takka Takka, and the Yellowbirds. About 100 people crammed into the tiny room, and the band played a bunch of Dead classics, as well as covers of Bob Dylan and, of all people, Cass McCombs. [...]

Months in the making, last night Grateful Dead/Furthur guitarist Bob Weir performed with members of The National , Yellowbirds and other Brooklyn-based musicians as part of a free live webcast called The Bridge Session put together by HeadCount and held at TRI Studios .

[mp3] Da Burdz // Argentavis

Feb 15, 12:22pm Tympanogram

Tweet vaso link If there is one band I miss it is Apollo Sunshine. Guitarist Sam Cohen has gone on to find success with his new band Yellowbirds, who put out one of the best albums of 2011. And now bass player/wild man extraordinaire Jesse Gallagher has put together a band of his own. If Yellowbirds has staked claim to the prettier side of Apollo Sunshine's sound, then this new band has apparently taken the dirtier end, and appropriately (if [...]

HT Staff's 25 Best Albums Of 2011: #25 – #21

Dec 26, 2011, 4:00pm Hidden Track

Here at Hidden Track, compiling our end of the year list of the 25 best albums has been eerily similar to the process of devising another top 25 list - the college football top 25. When we started four years ago, we attempted to devise a quantitative methodology that systematized the rankings and took the individual biases out of the equation, while still incorporating the collective views of everyone involved at HT. Well, that was sort of our BCS. This year we're going back to the old school and running it AP Top 25 style. In other words, every writer [...]

Yellowbirds, 'Beneath the Reach of Light' -- Video of the Day

Oct 31, 2011, 6:09pm Spinner.com

Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Yellowbirds Video: 'Beneath the Reach of Light' Highlight: "The song is about bringing some sort of truth back from a dream that illuminates your waking life, so, first we talked about different ways dreams have been portrayed in film, then got a little pretentious and carried away, tried to rein that in, and kind of rode these waves of proposing really ambitious ideas and figuring out what we could actually pull off with no money," [...]

The Bandana Splits - "Sometimes"

Oct 20, 2011, 12:07pm Everybody Taste

Apparently, it's Sam Cohen week on the ole blog. Tuesday, I posted about the former Apollo Sunshine musician's psychedelic-infused solo project Yellowbirds . Now today, we have The Bandana Splits: a doo-wop flavored girl-group project produced by Cohen. The trio of singers is comprised of Brooklynites Lauren Balthrop, Annie Nero, and one of Everybody Taste's favorite folkies, Dawn Landes. Try a single serving of the fabulous debut via "Sometimes"—an irresistibly upbeat harmony and tambourine smothered gem that immediately lifts the spirits. The album, Mr. Sam Presents The Bandana Splits , is out now and you can snag your [...]

Yellowbirds – "Beneath The Reach of Light" (Video)

Oct 20, 2011, 11:02am Quit Mumbling

It's funny that when we first heard the Yellowbirds back in March we described them as a mix of My Morning Jacket and Wes Anderson. Turns out we weren't too far off judging by the wonderfully Anderson-esque video for stand out single "Beneath The Reach of Light". The video does a fabulous job recreating a talk show from the golden age of TV, full of vintage camera effects, retro typography, and a hell of a wardrobe. But just as things seem to be going as expected, the two characters suddenly find themselves on beautiful beach making use of [...]

Yellowbirds - "Beneath The Reach of Light"

Oct 18, 2011, 2:53pm Everybody Taste

Sam Cohen, formerly of the great Apollo Sunshine, released his solo debut The Color as Yellowbirds this past February. However, solo is a bit of an understatement, as this is no one-man band: pedal steels sparkle, drums pound, walls of guitar wail, and psychedelic washes of warm tone permeate through every second of music. Yet, this grandly produced work is also a surprisingly intimate one thanks to the steady voice of Cohen. As far as the music pushes and travels, Cohen remains in place as the even-toned voice of reason and only ticket out of Wonderland. Below, check [...]

VETIVER, YELLOWBIRDS PLAYED THE BELL HOUSE [PHOTOS]

Jul 13, 2011, 1:07am the WILD honey pie

This past Sunday, Vetiver (@vetiver) fans packed The Bell House in Gowanus, Brooklyn for an intimate set from the San Francisco band. It was my first time seeing them, and, while their musicianship was on full display, I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed by the overall pace of the show. Andy Cabic's distinct vocals and Hindman's tight guitar playing, though, were truly sounds to behold. Opening the evening was Meg Baird , followed by the always amazing [...]
