Through the silent ambush of heavy snow Friday, three great shows were happening about town, and one that I missed while I was seeing Fanfarlo was Old Canes at the Hi-Dive. Signed to Saddle Creek Records, Old Canes are the project of Appleseed Cast frontman Chris Crisci. I've just stumbled upon their most recent album Feral Harmonic a day late, a dollar short, etc etc. The marvelously warm opening track on the album breaks exuberant and brightly colored - pounding and thumping with [...]

Arizona band Blackmarket have a new single floating around the internet today and we are digging what we hear. This new track is called "Tounge Twister Typo" and is set to appear on new LP entitled St. Vincent Decor . This one will be available sometime next year. Download: Blackmarket - Tongue Twister Typo [MP3]
Hear The Track HereDespite all appearances to the contrary, it's actually been a bit of a slow year for Arizona based four piece Can't Stop The Daggers. This is because they have been working on a new album all this year many of whose tracks I have heard in demo (right off the board) form. Having said that One Or The Other is a 'brand new idea live from the board at practice' so we are not quite
The Pop Five is a series of reader-created top five lists. Today's contribution comes from Joanna (J0) in Arizona:
Sacramento's Agent Ribbons hit the road on a month long tour on Saturday. This end of the year tour has them sharing the stage with Beep Beep, Rabbit Children, Weed Diamond and more. Lauren Hess and Natalie Gordon first met in '06 over a shared moment of disposing of dead bats at a Sacramento record store where Natalie worked and Lauren frequented. After learning of their shared tastes, the girls booked their first show within weeks in San Francisco. A year later, they hit the road twice; the first time led to the discovery of their [...]

Molly Müeller caught them a couple of weeks ago, and CMJ buzz band , Surfer Blood , will be back in Denver for the second time in a month. As if you needed an excuse to see Japandroids (saw them earlier this year and the duo blew up the Hi-Dive stage), this addition should sweeten the deal. Below is their set from their P4K party recorded by NYCTAPER . Surfer Blood 2009-10-24 Market Hotel Brooklyn, NY USA Setlist: [Total Time 17:40] [...]

All I really know about Surfer Blood is that they are from Florida and I like everything I've heard by them so far. Oh yeah they also have a Twitter account so you should follow them. They post a lot of pictures. Surfer Blood are a band from West Palm Beach, Florida. Mostly unheard of before the 2009 CMJ marathon, the band played 12 shows where they got serious buzz. Their forthcoming album, Astro Coast was recorded in their dorm room at the University of Florida and is due on January 19 [...]

Three Reasons to see Meat Puppets at Schubas tonight... 1. Do you ever find yourself longing for the old days of alternative rock? Well, then, the Meat Puppets' three-night stand (Nov. 12-14) at Schubas is just what the doctor ordered. Meat Puppets may be best known for appearing alongside the members of Nirvana for their now legendary MTV Unplugged in New York performance, but this Phoenix, Arizona, "cow punk" band has been around since the early 1980s. 2.

Arizona's Death To The Throne have taken the soft and timid "Shelter" off the The xx's debut album and revamped it for the club for sure. The intro to this remix makes it so... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]

Almost 5 years running, and I've never even mentioned the Gipsy Kings on this blog? For shame, Pete. The Rumba Catalana sound of the Gipsy Kings have been bringing audiences and listeners joy for more than 20 years now (13 for me) - it's near impossible to listen to their music and not feel the tension lift. I first became aware of them in a Mexican-style cantina in Salzburg, Austria back in 1996. I was traveling with my mom and dad, who were living near London at the time. When they were [...]

Robbie Williams - Arizona "Highway to the stars tonight" I'm a sucker for aliens, especially songs about aliens. And after the semi-recent tabloid stories about Robbie Williams going on an "aliens are out there" rant, the subject matter of his latest bonus track, Arizona , is especially clever. Not only that, but the song itself has a moody electronic feel that hearkens back to his Rudebox days while at [...]

YAY! En lo personal los dR! son de esas bandas que me late ver en vivo, por que son buenos, divertidos y sobretodo cotorrones por que hacen que muevas los pies, aunque no sepas con que te saldrán. Y si les gusto el primer corte que lanzaron de Mrs. Love, tanto como a mi, no pararan de oír esta nueva versión, ha! Enjoy! discoRUIDO! - Mrs. Love (Remix Feat. Milkman ) [...]

To celebrate his upcoming tour with Imogen Heap, Arizona DJ/producer Ryan Breen (aka Back Ted N-Ted) has remixed Imogen's "Say Goodnight & Go." Fortunately, it is nothing radically different.
