Oct 9, 2008, 2:49am Have You Heard
Gringo Star played a great set of shows* at Star Bar this weekend, celebrating the release of their first full length album and yet another big tour. They'll be spending October playing around the American East Coast and Midwest, then all of November in the UK. (tour dates here , doy) We should be adding Gringo Star's recent free Have You Heard session some time over the next week or two, until then, you can just keep watching the video on repeat like me. * I didn't see their Saturday show, [...]

Black Lips secret show???

Oct 8, 2008, 4:12pm Have You Heard
Black Lips secret show??? So this is odd... checking the Earl's Calander for the date of October 16th there is a band called "The Renegades" as the headliner. This is striking because the other three bands have great links on the site. Jack of Heart The Goodnight Loving The Stolen Minks But their headliner apparently has no myspace or website... hmmm. So who are The Renegades? Well it used to be a band with two members of The Black Lips in it. [...]

This is going to be one of those shows you can talk about and say "I was there when...".

The Raconteurs - At The Tabernacle on a Wednesday Night

Oct 4, 2008, 5:56pm Have You Heard
Like some of the other reviews I've been posting up here lately, I wasn't that familiar with the band in question until I went knee deep into the album, or in this case, the live show. Sure, I'm familiar with bandleader Jack White from his White Stripes albums. And while I've been hearing about the Raconteurs for the past few years, I hadn't actually heard the music until a few weeks ago. After listening to the first half their latest offering, Counselors of the Lonely , I e-mailed my friend who burned the disc for [...]

School of Seven Bells - Alpinisms: A cloud jungle. Or is it?

Oct 2, 2008, 2:02pm Have You Heard
School of Seven Bells - Alpinisms: A cloud jungle. Or is it? School of Seven Bells - Connjur I'll start by comparing them to AIR and Zero 7. That is, I'm fighting the temptation to label School of Seven Bells as "chill out" music. I don't use that term disparagingly, but I do recognize that it's a lame description. Instead, I've put together a hyphen crazy description of the genre that I'm thinking of: Post-rock-downtempo-lounge-ele ctronica. It's a genre I was introduced to when a friend burned me two CDs, Thievery Corporation and Tortoise in 2003. I've also heard some Sigor Ros that's blown me away. Yet, besides the [...]

Lenny's Saturday Night - They've Decided to Book Good Shows Again!

Oct 1, 2008, 10:26pm Have You Heard
Lenny's Saturday Night - They've Decided to Book Good Shows Again! Seriously, until last Saturday, I hadn't been to Lenny's for months . Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, but I couldn't find a single show on their calendar that ranked higher than "I'll do this if all my favorite venues, bars, and strip clubs all catch fire on the same night." But Bean's got a great show booked for this Saturday: Today the Moon Tomorrow the Sun , The Interiors , and A Fight to the Death . (coincidentally, all of those bands have played/will play sessions with Have You Heard.)

These United States - Crimes

Oct 1, 2008, 12:03pm Have You Heard
These United States - Crimes These United States - Get Yourself Home (In Search of the Mistress Whose Kisses are Famous) "Can't you smell your brain cells buzzing?" Jesse Elliot asks on "Get Yourself Home (In Search of the Mistress Whose Kisses are Famous)," the fourth song on These United States' new album, Crimes . With this question, the listener is invited to a carnival of fun loving criminals passing time in a frontier land saloon. This description could easily sound contrived and gimmicky, like a gun fight show at a theme park (I'm thinking of North Carolina's "Ghost [...]

James Jackson Toth - Waiting In Vain

Sep 30, 2008, 8:30am Have You Heard
James Jackson Toth - Waiting In Vain Waiting In Vain , the new album by James Jackson Toth, turns out to be aptly, unfortunately titled. Intriguing on many levels but ultimately disappointing, the disc is brimming with metaphorical lyrics, subtle and wonderful instrumental performances, and Toth's mostly pleasant and occasionally twang-tinged vocals. On the strong opener "Nothing Hides," Toth sings hauntingly over an adaptation of a bluesy shuffle groove, with gorgeous female vocal accompaniment giving subtle support. The album proceeds with a similarly mellow tone but rarely duplicates the something-bubbling-just-beneat h-the-surface [...]

Brass Bed - Midnight Matinee

Sep 28, 2008, 8:35pm Have You Heard
Brass Bed - Midnight Matinee There's nothing worse than being written off as "fun." You date a fun girl, but not for very long. Funnel cakes are fun, but they don't provide much nutrition or lasting sustenance. Let's hope that Brass Bed doesn't get stuck with the "fun" moniker, even though their new disc Midnight Matinee is one of the more fun discs in recent memory. But it's not shallow fun that turns flavorless after a few spins and makes you feel guilty, possibly even stupid, for liking in the first place. Midnight [...]

The Interiors Are Eating My Brain

Sep 26, 2008, 1:06am Have You Heard
The Interiors - A Crooked Line So, I'm in the middle of writing this long post about The Interiors , a band I've been following since seeing them in Chicago last summer. I was writing about "A Crooked Line" specifically, this great "biking to work on a Friday morning"-type song that almost sounds like a much more laid back Vampire Weekend*. And I'm writing the post up, adding links n' pictures n' stuff, when I glance at The Interiors' calendar and see that they've added a date since I last checked their site [...]

These Are Powers + Coathangers @ Eyedrum These Are Powers - Little Sisters Of Beijing Don't you love when you go to see one of your favorite local bands, and they introduce you to a fantastic new band you've never heard of before? I'll try and write a bit more about These Are Powers tomorrow, but for now, we'll just stick with the important info: 1) They're touring in the US through early October (including a DC show on Wednesday with The Apes , which should be fucking fantastic). 2) They're spending most of October [...]

Ani DiFranco - Red Letter Year

Sep 22, 2008, 12:56am Have You Heard
Ani DiFranco - Red Letter Year Ani DiFranco - Emancipated Minor Casual optimism is not what I expected from Ani DiFranco. Her name has been familiar to me for around a decade now. Seeing posters in dorm rooms but not hearing a note, my image of her was as the crazy haired woman with a nose ring and an axe to grind. Red Letter Year is my formal introduction to Ani. Though her new album initially appears to be a casual effort, closer listening reveals this quality as a façade hiding a razor sharp focus. The optimism [...]
