Listen to The Chieftains Celebrate Their 50th Anniversary with The Decemberists on a Cover of Bob Dylan's 'When The Ship Comes In'.
The Chieftains vuelven, y lo hacen con un disco que conmemora su 50 aniversario. Exacto, la banda lanzó su primer trabajo en 1963, apenas un año después de formarse en Irlanda, y que saquen un nuevo trabajo en 2012 no es más que la confirmación de que cuando hay buenas ideas, las bandas pueden durar décadas. Y para aportar algo de frescura a esas ideas se han rodeado de un puñado de buenos artistas entre los que estan Bon Iver, Pistol Annies o The Decemberist , con quienes han grabado una versión de "When The Ship Comes In" [...]

It's good that - in the face of the sort of bad publicity even Mel Gibson couldn't generate - the Susan G Komen Foundation have reversed their original decision to punish Planned Parenthood for helping people in difficult situations. Amongst those who sounded their outrage at a cancer charity behaving like right-wing politicians were The Decemberists : The Decemberists are deeply troubled by Komen for the Cure's recent decision to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood, a vital resource in the battle against breast cancer. Providing cancer screenings to low income women is integral to [...]

The Chieftains , the legendary Irish folk group, have hit their active 50th anniversary. Let that sink in. The Chieftains are now 50 years old. And while the band members continually changed over time, which isn't that strange given the circumstances, sticking together in any form for that long is a certain testament to resilience. To celebrate the achievement, the group is planning to release Voice of Ages ; a compilation effort which includes help from Bon Iver 's Justin Vernon, The Decemberists , The Low Anthem , and more. Listen to [...]
Jeremy Balderson At first, it's hard to imagine what need there is for a Craig Finn solo album. After all, he gets to run roughshod over The Hold Steady records with as many words as he can manage to pair with their classic rock attack - has he really got a backlog of ideas that don't fit that broad and welcoming template? As Clear Heart, Full Eyes , out next Tuesday but now available to stream in whole at NPR demonstrates, yeah he does. [...]

The Decemberists comenzaron 2011 con el estreno de su más reciente producción The King is Dead , un disco que les trajo numerosas satisfacciones y que la banda ha estado promocionando prácticamente en todo el planeta desde entonces. Sin embargo, el grupo planea tomarse un largo descanso al terminar la promoción de este disco, de ahí que, para hacer la espera un poco más llevadera, en noviembre pasado publicaron un EP de seis temas sacados de las sesiones del mismo disco, al que ahora se le une un nuevo álbum en vivo.

After embarking on an epic quest to release new music every single month of 2011, it doesn't look like the Lips are about to stop now that 2012 has rolled around.
