In light of the news that came through from the White House Sunday night, I felt it wasn't prudent to be talking about music. This past Saturday, C=T sent two friends, El Jefe de Jefes (word) and El Licenciado (photos) from my hometown to cover the Neon Desert Music Festival. From the Tweets I've read, it sounds like it was a raging success. I think the only beef people really had was the lack of re-entry to the fest upon first entrance. We're all crossing our fingers for a second [...]
Tomorrow is the inaugural Neon Desert Festival in El Paso, TX. C=T will have you covered with a recap on Monday, however, before the weekend gets started, we wanted to give you guys a taste of what to expect tomorrow. Have fun and here's to hoping there's a second one in the pipe. If you haven't purchased your tickets, you can do so here and information on how to commute to the festival is right here .

We love this idea and can not wait for the Singularity , when we will all have replaceable parts. In fact, with the way that we've been treating our livers, it's really our only hope for living out the rest of the decade. And when we do finally replace our dilapidated and crumbling husks of bodies with new pieces to make us faster better stronger whatever, we really hope that the Black and White Years' sophomore album, Patterns , will provide the OR room/assembly line soundtrack. The new video featuring the always awesome animation of Eric Power [...]

Tomorrow night should be a good one. The Black and White Years have been playing high profile shows around town for a while now but here we have them playing a very intimate show at Lambert's [ MAP ]. If you know this spot you know that the capacity is limited to only 150 people so this would be an ideal time to catch the band. To sweeten the deal Politics will be opening the show. If you read this site regularly you are well aware of them and if not let me be the first [...]
Austin's The Black and White Years released their new album Patterns last month. The record involves thirteen tracks of propulsive rhythms done up with ornate, bubbling, and unique synths that do much to keep this one engaging throughout. Get a feel of things with album opener "Up!" http://www.myspace.com/theblac kandwhiteyears
"There's too many artists, too much hype and not enough genius." Those lines are taken from the bridge of the opening track on The Black and White Years' latest release Patterns , and it seems to quantify every notion that contemporary skeptics have about today's musical climate. Bands get hyped and they fizzle out after a descent debut only to end up swallowing Soco-lime shots at the end of the bar in the Brooklyn Bowl like Neon Indian is probably doing right now. (Just kidding NI, I love you.) The odds of success in today's indie [...]
