[Sorry this is a little late today — tech problems in Buzz Bands land ...] Brooklyn three-piece the Antlers , riding a wave of critical love from Pitchfork (among others) for their album "Hospice," are about to embark on a big tour supporting Minus the Bear (including a Tuesday date at the Glass House in Pomona). First, though, they headline the Bootleg Theater tonight — advance tickets are sold out, but there will be a few available at the door starting at 8 p.m. The lovely [...]

CMJ released the band schedule for its 2009 Music Marathon & Film Festival yesterday, which is about as good a sign of fall hitting New York as the return of apple cider at Greenmarket. The festival runs from Oct. 20 - Oct. 24 and includes various venues throughout the city, and the list of featured artists would probably take all four days to read through. But skimming the selection reveals a fairly equal distribution of well-known acts like Atlas Sound and Deer Tick , anonymous locals (including krautrock-y Jeff Buckley-channelers Pocketknife), twenty-two bands who [...]
The press release below doesn't actually list all the acts performing at CMJ this year, so you're probably better off checking out cmj.sched.org to get a true idea of what's happening during this year's marathon. Of course, sched.org is a little confusing too and it doesn't list unofficial events and day parties (as far as I know), so you'll have to wait a little bit longer for info to trickle out from the blogs and other unofficial sources. Lastly, even though the press release says the schedule is "final", you can pretty much bet that things will shift [...]

We conceited music bloggers sometimes [...]

Joe Pernice Appears at McCabe's on Saturday Anybody make it to Sunset Junction this weekend? Any highlights? I did make it to Elvis Costello last week. I read a glowing review in the LA Times, but I agreed with my concert companion when he said "This is more soulless than Disney's Country Bear Jamboree." In addition to wrecking others' classics, he even wrecked some of his own. This is a pretty fantastic week to be a music fan in LA. The only problem is all the [...]
Here we are, facing the LCD display armed only with Diet Dr. Pepper and Orbit chewing gum, culled from the discount bin at the local Jackson's convenience store. It's some months after promising a new post, and we're ready to get back into this gig. Word of mouth tells me that the fan-base of Beat City Radio has been steadily growing and old listeners are loyal ones. One of the biggest complaints I've received is the lack of online playlists and podcasts. So, let's give 'er another shot and kick this thing off the ground. Below you'll [...]
We already know the lineup for Austin's 4th annual Fun Fun Fun Fest on November 8th and 9th will include 7 Seconds , The Jesus Lizard , Red Sparrowes , and Atlas Sound and Broadcast . FFF's own "Lineup Leaks" page expands upon that list with Why? (whose tour is coming to NYC ), GZA , Melt Banana , King Khan [...]
The Wicker Park Fest this weekend has a decent lineup, featuring Frank Black's Grand Duchy on Saturday and Junior Boys on Sunday. Also of interest: Chicago's Smoking Pope's play before Junior Boys on Sunday. The Night Marchers , the latest band from Rocket From the Crypt's John Reis, plays Saturday. The fest also features some interesting electronica, like Toronto's The New Deal . And it will cost you a recession-buster price of five bucks a day. [...]
