Me My Head are a London-based four-piece that emerged out of the breakup of The Moths at the end of 2007. Named after a rather obscure Gary Numan track (kudos for that), Charlie Moss (vocals), Dave Lightfoot (guitar), James Lightfoot (Bass) and Jonny Juviler (Drums) fuse brooding post-punk doom with a Cure -esque pop foundation that echoes elements of new wave romantics. With three singles already under their belt, the band is releasing their debut LP Survival In No Man's Land next week. Recorded during the winter amidst the [...]

There isn't that can be said about St. Vincent 's most recent studio LP and supporting world tour that hasn't been said already. Between the 4 ½ star album and stints with Andrew Bird and Grizzly Bear , the whole year has been one awesome trip! And the best part is the musician born Annie Clark is showing no signs of slowing down. After a short, much deserved breaking following her remaining European tour dates [...]

Annie Clark has played Columbus a number of times in the past couple of years. I fell in love with Ms. Clark while watching her perform with the Polyphonic Spree at SXSW a few years ago but somehow have managed to miss every one of her St.Vincent shows. Time for that to change. Tour dates below. 2/3 Victoria, BC Element 2/4 Vancouver, BC Venue 2/5 Seattle, WA Neumos 2/6 Portland, OR Doug Fir Lounge (2 shows, 6pm + 10pm) 2/8 San Francisco, CA [...]
Though Annie Clark has been through Columbus a few times in the past couple of years, I've never managed to see her. I plan on correcting this in February. Here's the complete itinerary for the February 2010 tour. Wildbirds & Peacedrums will be opening all shows. 2/3 Victoria, BC Element 2/4 Vancouver, BC Venue 2/5 Seattle, WA Neumos 2/6 Portland, OR Doug Fir Lounge (2 shows, 6pm + 10pm) 2/8 San Francisco, CA Great American Music Hall 2/9 Los Angeles, CA [...]
Not that Modified will be hosting touring acts beyond December - we've been discussing that a little - but St. Vincent had outgrown the venue anyway. Her past two shows there, including a stop in May, were packed - shoulder-to-shoulder with mostly sweaty/excitable young males, all of them surely professing their love for Annie Clark. (Hey, don't look at me like that.) For her Feb. 11 show in Phoenix, this time Clark will play in the slightly more spacious confines of the Rhythm Room . It's a Stateside [...]
Annie Clark, also known as St. Vincent is doing yet another tour, after already touring with Grizzly Bear and Andrew Bird. Look for a new leg of dates with Wildbirds and Peacedrums starting at the end of January 2010. Check...

MP3 : My Heart The continuing flow of freshness coming out of Sweden in the last two years has made my faith in music exceedingly high and my bank account balance exceedingly low (yes, I do still pay for music). One of my favorites has to be husband-and-wife duo Andreas Werliin and Mariam Wallentin, better known as Wildbirds & Peacedrums . Happening upon the "There Is No Light" video a couple months back made me an instant fan. Though it's reminiscent of The White Stripes' "The Hardest Button to Button" moving-drum video, [...]
