HockeyOregonians buzz band, Hockey, have released the video to their newest single, Too Fake, that you can check out here. The lead vocals are reminiscent of a Rod Stewart and Julian Casablancas lovechild. Throw in some ass shaking beats and sexy lyrics and the end result is a pants party, or is it a party in my pants? Look for them at SXSW this year.Hockey-3am Spanish [mp3]

My Old Kentucky Blog had the opportunity to get a few minutes on the phone with Charles Cave, bassist of the hot London band White Lies . We learned right away that this band is busy. So busy, in fact, that on the day we talked to Cave, the members of White Lies were fielding questions from the press all the way up until the last moments before the band hit the stage. The trio's debut album, To Lose My Life , [...]

SXSW 2009 is coming up fast. I haven't ever been able to go, but the sheer number of new bands that come out of the festival fascinates me. Maybe next year my blog buddies and I can realize my blog-heaven fantasy of a trip to Austin. Meanwhile, back in reality, here are three bands I would seriously be interested in seeing. Cincinnati's Pomegranates will appear at the Art Disaster Party at the Beauty Bar on March 17, introducing their new CD [...]

While it's an official SXSW showcase (free to badge/wristband holders), if you don't have a wristband you might want to get there early enough to be able to get in (pay a small cover at the door). Once inside, it's gonna be a DANCE Party!! The lineup is pretty sweet and features Frankie Chan, Designer Drugs, Heartsrevolution, Radioclit, and The Golden Filter (a band we've been really digging lately ), and many more. IHEARTCOMIX Official SXSW Showcase [...]
We weren't originally planning to host a party at SxSW 2009, but as fate would have it, we're now collaborating with Tom Schraeder and QuinnStorm.com to throw one helluva a shindig. The economic crisis is stealing a lot of our thunder, but we're kick-starting the festival with a Stimulus Package of our own. In true near-Depression fashion, the event is free and open to the public. There will be DJ's spinning in between sets to avoid the awkward silence during set changes and rumor has it that there will even be a singer/songwriter performing in the restroom area. [...]
