I've always enjoyed Minus The Bear , and the band has a new recording coming out in 2010. I'm not 100% sure that this track is to be on the new album or not, but it is good nonetheless. Planet of Ice really deserved more recognition than it received in my own personal opinion. Producer Joe Chiccarelli (My Morning Jacket, White Stripes) is at the helm on this upcoming release. The band is currently on the tour with one of my favorite new bands Twin Tigers providing some opening tunes. I [...]

This is a great mix with new tracks from Twin Tigers, Bibio, Mux Mool and more. If you get a chance this weekend go and pre-order Lone's new album Ecstasy & Friends .

[mp3] Twin Tigers: "Sexless Love" As the year winds down, it's a little more difficult to find the diamonds in the rough - but we'll almost always listen to bands from Athens. Especially if they're touring with The Antlers. We're glad we found Twin Tigers . They boast a huge rock sound that's as refreshing as we're sure it is deafening played live. That's how Athens rolls. Don't change a thing. They just finished recording a full length and have an EP available for free on their myspace . Twin Tigers [...]

Back in L.A. after a long weekend spent in Austin with friends at Fun Fun Fun Fest. After the craziness that is CMJ last month, FFF felt like the complete opposite: laid back, relaxed and easy. Best part of the weekend was without a doubt the Jesus Lizard, but more on that later. Twin Tigers is [...]

It's only a few days away, but I can assure you that every music geek in this town is already chompin at the bit in anticipation of this year's Fun Fun Fun Fest hosted and organized by Transmission Entertainment. It's a mid-level size event that packs a wallop of value for your dollar, and brings some of the best in scene of punk (new and old), indie, metal, alt-country, electronic, dj, funny bone, and much more. I've already listed a handful of recommends, straying from some of the obvious like Jesus Lizard (HELL YEAH!), Shearwater, Of Montreal, Danzig [...]

Since Athens-based psych rockers Twin Tigers started their tour with Minus the Bear and the Antlers this week, they've decided to give away some music to entice you to show up early and catch thei... Continue reading "Download the Twin Tigers Automatic EP" >
So the chorus in "Automatic" shares its melody with "Lump" by the Presidents of the United States of America, but they get a pass due to music being a bit of an infinite monkeys, infinite typewriters situation these days. The rest of the song is saturated with noise and sounds exhausting. Whether it's an beautiful, religious exhaustion or an "if I listen to this for one more second I'm going to vomit my organs" exhaustion...

Athen's Twin Tigers aren't playing the actual Festival in the park, but are making an appearance at one of the official Afterparties on Saturday night, and I highly recommend you make a stop to see the Tigers at work. The band has a full length recording Grey Waves, set for release in early 2010 and it's already secured a spot as one of my favorite releases for the year. Shoegazey, soft-punk, whatever you want to call it, it rocks. Twin Tigers @ Mohawk Sat night with Voxtrot, Octopus Project, The Coathangers, Jazzus Lizard (Jesus [...]
