2009 has been a good year for a lot of bands, but I'm sure the dudes in Dinowalrus will remember it for as long as they live. For starters the band spent the year playing countless gigs, opening for some of the buzziest bands around before signing to Kanine Records who will release their full length debut early next year. Pete Feigenbaum, lead singer and guitarist for the band, had an even bigger year joining up with the guys of Titus Andronicus and touring Europe and [...]

Santos House Party has a nice vibe and I love the space. The stage is wide and deep which offers a lot of room for the performers. It has just the right amount of space for the audience not too big or small. Its square shape appeals to my feng shui sensibilities. It was a fun relaxed atmosphere at The Santos House Party presented by Adult Swim. Our two hosts Dave Willis (voice of Carl and Meatwad) and Dana Snyder (voice of master shake [...]

While we didn't get to attend the M. Ward show at Antone's on Tuesday evening, we'd like to think we got the better end of the deal. Seriously we say this every time, but it doesn't get much better than watching a performance at the ACL Studios! M. Ward has appeared on the show on three separate occasions while supporting other artists (Spoon, Bright Eyes, and Norah Jones) but last night it was all about him. The incredibly full studio erupted in applause as ACL producer Terry Lickona introduced the singer. He started the [...]

Wye Oak's new CD, THE KNOT , comes out next week. But you can stream it here . Check out the Aural States review . They're also having a CD release show at the Ottobar on 7/21 (with Oakley Hall).

Baltimore, Maryland's Wye Oak are set to release their second album, The Knot , via Merge Records on July 21st. If you don't want to wait, however, Merge is streaming the album in its entirety for free right now here . I'm only a couple of songs in, but so far it's pretty fantastic. Which shouldn't be a surprise if you saw the band playing [...]
[ download ] On June 23rd, Brooklyn's Friendly Fire Recordings will release the debut record from The Phenomenal Handclap Band , an assemblage of New York City bands which includes appearances from members of TV on the Radio , The Dap Kings , Oakley Hall , Diamond Nights , Calla , and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (among others). Given this indie-heavy pedigree, perhaps the most surprising thing about the collective is how rump-shaking their music is. The party on a platter is helmed by [...]
WFMU dropped anchor on the shores of the Mediterranean last month at the invitation of Barcelona's stunning Primavera Sound Festival , where we joined 80,000 of our new best friends in an ecstatic celebration of music, good livin', good eatin', and futball victory.

We've just added streaming archives of many of the sets, and a bunch of mp3s for download as well. It [...]
