Country music purists may be stockpiling vinyl and dry goods for the Swiftocalypse, but all things considered, 2009 was a pretty good year for country music. Country music purists may be stockpiling vinyl and dry goods for the Swiftocalypse, but all things considered, 2009 was a pretty good year for country music. Eric Church, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Ashley Monroe, Elvis Costello, and John Doe, to name just a few, all released solid albums and the ever-reliable George Strait was, well, reliable, but nudged at some boundaries by delivering a version of Mexican folksong "El Rey". Here are [...]
Following the debut album `SPQR` release last year, we were considering minor espionage to recover new Squirrelhouse material. We obviously got spotted with a strategically placed beer glass (ok, many empty glasses) on their adjoining wall. A week later a new track appeared in the mail box and the promise of a new album during 2010has saved us many undercover hours . "Driven by a local music scene that demands engaging, energetic performances, Squirrelhouse hsa developed a catchy sound that along with darkly nuanced lyrics demands repeat listens. With songs full of [...]
My current vote for best new artist of 2009 is Those Darlins . These hard drinkin', hard rockin' ladies from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, put out a great country rock album this summer. The twelve tracks sound like they could have been recorded in their neighborhood bar, and for all I know, they were. All three of the Darlins (Kelly, Jessi, and Nikki) co-write and co-sing all of the songs. The songs are about the eternal country themes of love, drinking, love and drinking, craziness, Mama, trains, binge eating while drunk, and living in the sticks. Unfortunately [...]
Those Darlins, ou comment réconcilier les amateurs de garage-rock et les fans de old-time music... Kelley, Jessi et Nikki, qui forment ce trio de filles en provenance de Murfreesboro, Tennessee, ne se prennent pas au sérieux. Leur credo c'est la pop-song légère mais qui tâche parce que dissipée, irrévérencieuse et déconnante. En tête de leurs préoccupations, l'alcool et les garçons,
The funloving foursome you see above are Those Darlins... Jessi, Kelley, & Nikki Darlin along with drummer, Sheriff Lin. Those Darlins brought their unique blend of punk and country to Knoxville last week for Tennessee Shines. Roughly one hour before they took the stage at the Bijou Theatre... Jessi, Kelley, and Nikki stopped by the WDVX studios to talk a little bit about their debut album, what to expect from one of their performances (be prepared for anything really), and a few other projects they are involved in. I recorded their visit, and would like to [...]
Here's the latest video from Those Darlins , the countrified, rock-n-roll outfit out of Murfreesboro, Tennessee led by the all-girl trio of Jessi, Nikki, and Kelley Darlin. Always a sucker for a nice animated video, "Red Light Love" was illustrated and directed by Jessi Darlin, with additional artwork assistance from Nikki Darlin and Sheriff Lin (the band's drummer and lone male member). I give it two animated thumbs up! I happened to catch Those Darlins at iS Venue here in C'ville back in May and [...]
Murfreesboro TN's finest, Those Darlins , have a brand new video they've crafted for the lead track from their self-titled album. In fact, Jessi Darlin directed and illustrated this clip for "Red Light Love" while Nikki Darlin and Sheriff Lin contributed additional art work - a family affair indeed. Check it out - as well as their upcoming fall tour dates - below.... See Those Darlins Live: AUGUST 22 - Chattanooga, TN @ JJ's Bohemia 26 - Knoxville, TN [...]
Tennessee indie popsters Those Darlins have just released a video for their highly infectious track "Red Light Love". The video was animated by the band's Jessi Darlin.Check out the fun here:Those Darlins' websiteThose Darlins' Myspace
THOSE DARLINS - One of the most memorable sets we ever walked into owas Those Darlin's who were visiting Boston - a couple of years back. Ever since then we have done whatever we can to catch them wherever and whenever we can. In the hot " Red Light Love " music video we hear churning rock and go-go dancer beats entwined... And the video, depicting epic heartache and cheap love, was directed and illustrated by Jessi Darlin, herself. [ Additional credits : Teddy Gage - Animation. Some art by Nikki Darlin [...]
Those Darlins defy country image with power pop charisma
I've posted the MP3 for this song a month or two back, but the brand new video for Those Darlins' "Red Light Love" is so cool that it deserves a post of its own. The video was directed and illustrated by Jessi Darlin herself, with additional artwork done by Nikki Darlin and Sheriff Lin. The band has also announced a slew of new live dates that will keep them on the road through a Halloween show in Houston with none other than The Meat Puppets . Not exactly [...]
Straight from an appearance on the Travel Channel with Samantha Brown (wtf?) Those Darlins continue to let it ride this summer, releasing a video for their fantastic single "Red Light Love" it's an all animated affair recalling something along the lines of Peanuts, meets Scooby Doo meets The Drive-By Truckers. Surprised they went with the drawings, given that they're, ya know, hot, but doesn't matter to us any, thumbs up. Their self titled debut is available now.
Loving the animation for the new video for "Red Light Love". Those Darlins are just as cute as cartoon characters as they are in person.
Have a look at the new video for "Red Light Love" from Those Darlins. This one happens to be my favorite track from their eponymous debut record. Just, you know, for the record. It was illustrat... Continue reading "Fall Dates, Fresh Vid: Those Darlins, 'Red Light Love'" >
