SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Etc - Big Girl's Blouse Etc is truly one of Singapore's best-kept secrets. There are no fancy fashions or trends associated with the duo of Ben Harrison and Harvey Chamberlain, just well-written guitar-rock to a steady beat. Harrison's jangle-raggedy guitar work is exciting and tasteful enough to balance perfectly atop Chamberlain's near-primal approach to the beat, yet also easy enough for that slacker sway. They have an album [...]

Clearly we're big fans of the DIY multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter Young Man - the musical moniker of St Paul, Minnesota’s Colin Caulfield - as MOKB has been covering his ethereal, psych-pop musings goin' way back to 2009. So it should be of no surprise we’re pleased as punch to present his debut LP Ideas of Distance , the first in a trilogy of albums Caulfield is set to roll out over the next eighteen months. Much like the critically acclaimed 2010 EP Boy [...]

Constellation by Waterstrider Six-piece Waterstrider are a young band that began in a UC Berkeley co-op last year. Constellation is available for purchase above - where you can also grab the title track for free - and its swooning indie pop sounds a lot more thoughtful and mature than most self-released debut efforts. Waterstrider opens for Gardens & Villa and Young Man at Bottom of the Hill on Thursday night (9pm, $10). That's a compelling bill, and we've got a pair [...]
In 1956, a 21-year-old Elvis Aaron Presley was on the verge of becoming a phenomenally influential music icon. Recently signed to RCA, 1956 was the year his debut came out and more importantly the year his (big gasp) lewd hip movements on The Ed Sullivan Show created massive amounts of controversy and cemented his legacy [...]
Multi-instrumentalist Young Man just dropped debut LP, Ideas Of Distance (Frenchkiss). Also out now the new video for "Nothing," the second track off the new album. You can watch the colorfully psychedelic video for it below and catch Young Man when he hits the road this October and November.
I’m excited to present this show one week from today with Gardens & Villa, Young Man, and Waterstrider. Come out to Bottom of the Hill and party with... (Visit my blog for more!)

I thought it'd be cool to combine a Hell, a Hello, and a Jesus in one post. Plus, they're two terrific EPs. “Hello Jesus” is Steve Gatesʼ debut EP-three originals and a cover of Willie Nelson's “You were always on my mind” as a duet with a lady named Catherine MacLellan. It's mellow country rock, well written, well performed...And Steve's got a really cool voice. I wouldn't say it's as bad as Bob Dylan, but it also isn't as good as Lyle Lovett. It's unique, special, and perfect for the songs he [...]

Holden Caulfield, J.D. Salinger’s beloved, profane protagonist in the 1951 American classic Catcher in the Rye , has come to represent the struggle to balance innocence and maturity in a very teenage-angsty sort of way. Neo-folksy singer-songwriter Colin Caulfield, who goes by the moniker Young Man , shares more than a name with Salinger’s fictional young man. His first full-length album, Ideas of Distance , was released on September 27 by Frenchkiss Records and is hauntingly woven with contemplative lyrics about growing up and finding identity. Young Man began [...]

I just got my hands on this one late last night. I gotta say, this record is much more expansively mature than anything else this kid has put out. Go check out the beautiful guitarwork and floating ambience of Ideas of Distance via Spinner. The album is out now via iTunes MP3 // TIRED EYES

Elvis tears up the music world in ‘56 Eighteen months after bursting into the music world with “That’s All Right,” Elvis moved from the indie Sun label to the major leagues of RCA. A month-and-a-half later, in January 1956, he entered the a Nashville studio and began a year that included two chart-topping albums ( Elvis Presley and Elvis ), three chart-topping singles (five, if you include the Country chart), several more top-fives and fifteen total chart entries among two dozen singles. That’s in [...]

Young Man is a true American success story of the modern age.

These ranged from contemporaries like Bon Iver and Animal Collective to classics such as the Beatles and David Bowie. People started noticing. A record deal was signed. An EP was released. Tours were embarked upon. Read more »
