WHITE DENIM, WHITE ARROWS ( Bunk Bar , 1028 SE Water) On their brand-new album (simply titled D ), Austin's White Denim reins in their whirling punk energy for something even more rewarding: a truly stoney brew of psychedelia that's equal parts Steppenwolf and the Beta Band. NED LANNAMANN CAT STALKS BIRD, THE RESERVATIONS, BLOOD BEACH ( Valentine's , 232 SW Ankeny) The duo of Cat Stalks Bird moved to Portland from Michigan, and brought with them a unique [...]

At a festival with over 2000 bands, you thrive on the good ones to keep you going. At times you begin to feel as if mediocre is par for the course. You realize by the end of the first day, if it hadn't already occurred to you, how important a good sound guy is and how energy becomes the most important thing in a live performance. Forget creativity and tight harmonies, you can perfect those on the album. A good voice or some fast fingers? Those will only get you so far. [...]
Austin's garage-y White Denim clearly like to have a good time, if the above video for its breakout 2008 hit, "Shake Shake Shake" is any indication. And it's tough to deny that, upon listen to the...

Liðsmenn Texas sveitarinnar White Denim , þeir James Petrelli, Steve Terebecki og Josh Block hafa spilað saman síðan árið 2006 og gefið út fjórar plötur, þar af tvær sjálfútgefnar og tvær undir formerkjum Full Time Hobby hljómplötuútgáfunnar (Timber Timbre, School of Seven Bells, Tunng o.fl.) Nýlega bættist svo við nýr meðlimur við hljómsveitina, gítarleikarinn Austin Jenkins og bandið því nú þéttara en nokkru sinni fyrr eins og heyra má á nýjustu plötu sveitarinnar Last Days of Summer . Tónlist White Denim einkennist af mikill hljóðfæragleði og sveiflukenndum lagasmíðum með óhefðbundna nálgun á póst-bílskúrs rokkið/pönkið, nema í stað bílskúrs þá [...]

Austin boys White Denim released a scorcher of an album earlier this year with Fits . I heard countless garage rock albums this year, but few that featured musicians as razor-sharp as the three that make up this band. And even fewer that were willing to experiment with psychedelia, jazz, and prog while keeping the momentum moving ever-forward. This band is completely overpowering in the best way and their live show could only end up as the biggest party of the first month of 2010. They'll be playing at Club Congress on January 16th as [...]

Thursday, September 17, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: I know I should be thrilled that Pavement might be reuniting for a couple of appearances, but honestly I'm not that concerned about them doing anything unless it involves a full blown tour. Guess we'll see what transpires over the next few days. I'm not sure if there has ever been a band that's more hit or miss for me than White Denim, but I do tend to at be least semi-interested in whatever it is they [...]

When in Rome....below are some videos from three Austin-based bands we'll certainly be checking out this week. We can attest to the repeated awesomeness of a White Denim show and also look forward to seeing Harlem and The Strange Boys bring the noise from the familiar locale of their own backyard (so to speak). SXSW: it's on! above: Harlem - "Witch Greens" above: The Strange Boys - "Woe Is You And Me" above: White [...]

White Denim Workout Holiday (2008, Full Time Hobby) RIYL = Tiger Bear Wolf, Women, rock n' roll Let's not beat around the bush. White Denim is probably one of the most overly hyped yet still underrated bands in indie rock. I don't get it. Why is there not more people jumping on the bandwagon? Is it because their hometown blog, GorillaVsBear, seems a little too intent on proclaiming the band's genius to the world? I always thought there must be some kind of pay relationship going on there, but then I buckled down and [...]
White Denim - Shake Shake Shake Official video for 'Shake Shake Shake' by White Denim.
White Denim, "Shake Shake Shake" (2008) À linha de baixo, junte-se estas imagens de carros destruídos e empilhados numa sucata, de gente aos pulos, de um colchão a arder e de uma adolescente que brinca no meio disto tudo e temos uma canção que já não se ouvia desde que um certo tipo do Noroeste americano se suicidou a tiro de caçadeira.

"Exposion" (Transmission Entertainment, 08) y "Workout Holiday" (Full Time Hobby, 08) son las dos sorpresas que White Denim llevaban tiempo preparando. El primero es un álbum de viejos temas regrabados que la banda de Austin publicará en Estados Unidos en formato digital y en vinilo, y el segundo e...
It doesn't get much more gritty than White Denim 's new single "Shake Shake Shake." In fact, the song sounds like it was recorded with a torn apart drum set, a broken guitar and an ill-tuned bass. The video appropriately sets the song in a garbage dump, which is probably where the band found their instruments. Despite the ghetto setup, this song is surprisingly catchy and original. Well done.
Um dos álbuns que tem andado a rodar por aqui nas últimas semanas é o álbum de estreia dos norte-americanos White Denim, intitulado 'Workout Holiday'. Influenciados maioritariamente por sons que ecoam às festas punk-dub-rock com efeitos de garagem, os White Denim saltaram definitivamente para a ribalta após um dos seus singles, "Let's Talk About It", ter sido adoptado para abrilhantar um anúncio
