Formed: 2007 in San Francisco Members: Christopher Owens and Chet "JR" White. Latest release: Girls' debut, Album, came out this fall on True Panther records. Why you care: Girls' back story is almost too good to be true: Frontman and songwriter Christopher Owens grew up as a member of the Children of God cult in Florida (no, really) and spent much of his childhood as a vagabond, living for stints in Europe and Puerto Rico. It's rumored his mother was among women followers used by [...]
Polaroids From the Web "In some countries, they think indie is a genre" edition - Ieri Fede aveva raccontato l'assurda aggressione subita da Darren Hayman dopo un concerto a Nottingham, circostanza resa ancora più agghiacciante da un suo casuale twit di poche ore prima. Oggi finalmente sul sito ufficiale dell'ex cantante degli Hefner è comparso un messaggio che ci rassicura un po' sulle sue condizioni di salute . - Per chi come me si è purtroppo perso l'ultimo concerto di Evan Dando qui in città, c'è [...]

Like his albums and tours of late, it will be a collaboration with [...]
Like we said last time , in a world gone Twitter sometimes it's best to just streamline the message. Our message is this: we get lots of submissions from various artists, labels, and PR folk, and it's honestly impossible to stay on top of it all. There's a ton of good music out there, and the following five bands are just some of the latest to jump out from our inbox; now, we pass them on to you in the simplest format we know: 5 + 5 = 10. TL;DR ? Not today, friends... [...]
adam and his advising uncle its been a bit, and i really need to try and get more artists for this "feature" but, not surprisingly, i am really bad at following up with folks. this edition of "tell me something..." features london's the tailors and their front man, adam killip. their upcoming release for trash aesthetics is due out 11.30 and they have decided to call it, come dig me up . i have spent the better part of a couple months with said record, and its probably the growiest record of the [...]
Yesterday Pedestrian had the pleasure of chatting to former Transvision Vamp frontwoman, Elvis Costello collaborator and late eighties bombshell Wendy James . Look out for the full video interview soon but for now Pedestrian can reveal that James' new solo record will include a track recorded at Sydney's own BJB studios with Scott Horscroft (Presets, Silverchair, Dappled Cities, The Sleepy Jackson) with The Scare as her backing band. The track is called "Speedball" and explores the various ways to do drugs (her words not ours). The new record is due to hit shelves worldwide [...]
Though Brazos singer/guitarist Martin Crane wrote the band's entire debut album Phosphorescent Blues over the compressed span of a single feverish week, it took several years for this Austin trio to actually release the damn thing. But at least the wait was worth it, as Blues (out yesterday and available HERE ) announces an irresistible collection of ten warmly shambolic tracks that burn a hole straight to your wistful nostalgia cortex (if there were such a thing) while you whistle along to the sneakily infectious and winding melodies. Brazos - [...]
Vic Chesnutt is a study in contradictions. The most recent example of that in Chesnutt's professional life is what to do with two new albums recorded a month apart: Skitter on Take-off, a solo album produced by the great Jonathan Richman, and the decidedly different-feeling At the Cut, his second album with Thee Silver Mt. Zion Orchestra. (He previously paired with them in 2007 for North Star Deserter .) Before playing a gig in Atlanta, Chesnutt discussed how to deal with an embarrassment of artistic riches, the virtues of being lucky rather than [...]
Contemporaneo ad "At The Cut","Skitter On Take Off" è la collaborazione fra Vic, Jonathan Richman e Tommy Larkins. Puro e scarno, registrato in presa diretta e senza alcuna post produzione. MP3 Vic Chesnutt - Dick Cheney MySpace: Vic Chesnutt WebSite: Vic Chesnutt
MPSHOWS.COM PRESENTS ART BRUT ART BRUT They're an eccentric, motley bunch who have more in common with Half Man Half Biscuit and Pulp than they do with their oft-compared influences The Fall. Vocalist Eddie Argos (an ex-goth obsessed with Jonathan Richman and Vincent Van Gogh) had previously been in a band, The Art Goblins, in his hometown of Bournemouth. Their stage show would see him playing a vacuum cleaner and escaping from a sack. They sounded not unlike cult Glaswegians The Yummy Fur and had songs such as I Wanna Be Johnny Dean [...]
Il fait froid et il pleut. Beurk ! Et alors ? Le rapport avec "J'ai dansé dans le bar pour lesbiennes" ? Aucun sauf qu'après le clic, le froid et la pluie disparaissent pendant au moins 3mn40.

DOWNLOAD: Capgun Coup - "Sitting on the Sidewalk" (MP3) Capgun Coup's sophomore release Maudlin (Team Love) is a near perfect slice of lo-fi garage rock that owes an equal debt to both late 60's era Bob Dylan and The Modern Lovers. The band's music is raw and energetic and, over the course of this new disc, skips across styles and genres seamlessly. Musical styles range from the languid, 'Pavement-ish' "Farnam Street" to the indie-pop melodic harmonies of "Pretty City" to the raw garage-punk [...]
Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers: Here Come the Martian Martians [ purchase ] Jonathan Richman has never released a real children's album, but with some of his mid-'70s albums, he came pretty close. The songs were not meant for kids alone however, as anyone who has experienced Jono playing "Here Come the Martian Martians" to a 21-and-over crowd will attest. That song, from 1977's, Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers , is pretty typical of his kid friendly material: a mix of '50s rock and [...]
Monday : The Drums become my current new band. These guys look like they just stepped out of a Swedish porn flick, and sound like pure teenage yearning. " You used to be so pretty, now you're just tragic " becomes lhnA's favourite new sing-along line. The Drums - Don't be a Jerk, Jonny [...]
Fresh and Onlys: Grey-Eyed Girls The Fresh & Onlys, a five piece from San Francisco, are the latest in a line of lo-fi, primal rock'n'roll bands on Woodsist Records. This time the band's USP is a sound that mixes garage-rock (the stinging fuzz of 'Black Coffin') and psych-pop from an outfit that has worked with Skygreen Leopards and Papercuts among others. You can group them with peers like Wavves and Crystal Stilts (the scuzz of [...]
