Day 12 = Jagwar Ma
Performing = Friday

Jagwar Ma are an indie dance band from Sydney, Australia that are now based in the U,K. The three piece formed in 2011 and consists of Gabriel Winterfield (lead vocals, guitar, loops), Jono Ma (guitar, synths, drum machine, samples), and Jack Freeman (bass, backing vocals). The group’s name is derived from Jono’s surname and a painting of a jaguar passed on to them by a friend.

Their debut full-length Howlin’ is kick-ass, and has received nothing but high praise since its release last June. Jagwar Ma was recognized on this blog’s end-of-year countdown with Howlin’ being named the #5 album of the year, and “Come Save Me” finished as the #4 track of the year.

The band’s sound is heavily influenced by groups from the Madchester scene of the late-eighties and early-nineties; such as Happy Mondays, Primal Scream, and The Stone Roses. Combine the Madchester sound with a hint of chillwave, and what you’re left with is Jagwar Ma.

This week the band released a video for the track “Uncertainty,” you can check it out below.

Day 11 = The Head and The Heart
Performing = Saturday

The Head and The Heart are an indie-folk band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 2009. The band formed when they met while
playing a series open mic nights at a local Seattle pub.

The band self-pressed and hand-made the sleeves of their debut eponymous LP in 2011. After local trendy record stores couldn’t keep enough copies in stock, the band signed with hometown Sub Pop . The label re-released the album, and it went on to become one of the best-selling debut albums for Sub Pop in years.

The band released their sophomore album Let’s Be Still back in October. If you’re someone who checks out the Indie On TV page… you’ll already know that the band has played just about every late night program lately. The Head and The Heart have toured extensively over the last couple of years, supporting the likes of Death Cab For Cutie, My Morning Jacket, The Decemberists, and Vampire Weekend.

The Dandy Warhols To Release First-Ever Live Album

14/01/30 at 8.11pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

tdw.spring2014.wp2_The Dandy Warhols announced that they will release their first-ever live album on March 25. The album is the live set of the band performing the classic album Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia in its entirety. The set was recorded in June 2013 at the Wonder Ballroom in Portland, Oregon.

In typical Dandy fashion, they’re offering pre-order fun bundles at discounted prices on their website. The band also announced spring tour dates that includes a stop at the Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix.

The band had this to say about their upcoming live release:

The Dandy Warhols are excited to tell you all about our first-ever LIVE Dandys album: Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia Live at the Wonder. We realize that maybe a Dandys live album is long overdue, but we really wanted to get it right, you know? We wanted a live album with no overdubs or re-recording, so when we put that “LIVE” on the cover, we mean it.
Recorded in June 2013 at Portland’s Wonder Ballroom, Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia Live at the Wonder documents The Dandy Warhols’ 13/13/13 Tour – a year long celebration of the 13th anniversary of (arguably) our most popular record, Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia. We run through every track from Thirteen Tales in order: starting with the layers of e-bow, jangle, and trumpet on “Godless” all the way through to the sparse hop-a-long epic “The Gospel.”

Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia Live at the Wonder will be available March 25th, 2014 on CD, double-LP (with bonus tracks), and digital download from our partners at The End Records (US) & on Naive Records (GSA & France).

Day 10 = Bastille
Performing = Friday

Bastille are an English alternative rock band that formed in London in 2010. The group’s name is inspired by Bastille Day, which commemorates the beginning of the French Revolution, and also happens to be frontman Daniel Smith’s birthday. The band’s music blends a unique mix of alt-rock, synthpop, EDM, R&B, and EMO. Smith cites Regina Spektor, Bat for Lashes, and Florence Welch as influences, and claims the record label thinks of them as “Coldplay meets Friendly Fires” with an edge.

The band has received significant mainstream radio play, and are currently making their way around the late night TV circuit. Last Saturday, Bastille was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.

Bastille released their debut LP Bad Blood back on September 3 in the U.S. The album has yielded six singles, all of which were released prior to the album dropping, talk about building the hype. The band’s most successful single “Pompeii” reached #10 on the U.S. Billboard Charts. Criticized for trying to appeal to too many audiences, the band has received mixed reviews thus far.

Performing = Saturday

Drowners are a Brooklyn based post-punk band that formed in 2012. The band is named after the tune “Drowners” by the Britpop outfit Suede. The vibe they’re going after is Strokes/Vaccines/Artic Monkeys and have been criticized for sounding just like that. The quartet released a 3-song EP titled Between Us Girls almost exactly a year ago, that included the single “Long Hair.” Their debut self-titled full-length coincidentally dropped today (download it below). The band is currently offering the lead single “Luv, Hold Me Down” for free on their website.

Day 8 = The Knife
Performing = Friday

The Knife are the brother-sister duo of Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer. The electronic act formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1999. Over a fifteen year career the band has released four studio albums, all of which received critical acclaim.

Although, The Knife is well-received by the media, The Knife do not receive the media well. The band did not begin playing live until after the release of their third album Silent Shout in 2006. Furthermore, the duo rarely makes themselves available to the media for interviews and appearances. Their uncooperative act includes wearing masks with bird beaks, similar to the over-rated and over-hyped “Robots,” what a piece of works that was last night…

In addition it to Karin’s work with The Knife, she fronts the side project Fever Ray. Prior to The Knife, she was a member of the band Honey Is Cool. In his spare time, Olof works under the monikers DJ Coolof and Oni Ayhun. The duo cites Sonic Youth, Kate Bush, Le Tigre, Siouxsie and The Banshees as musical influences.

Pixies: Pittsburgh, Pa. 1/25/14 Review

14/01/26 at 7.45pm   /   by Nick K   /   10 Comments

20140125_214759Carnegie Music Hall is a great and intimate venue for a show. Not a bad seat in the house and the acoustics are good for the 1,950 seat hall. I’d say they had the bass up too high, with the mids (vocals and guitars) a litle too low. Security ran a very tight ship; maybe entirely too tight The yellow shirts cracked down on any cell phone video recording and dancing near the stage was dealt with harshly with some people being thrown out.

The Pixies came on around 9:15 and played for about 90 minutes with one encore. Their set list (see below) was appropriately heavy with Surfer Rosa, Come On Piligrim, and Doolittle with the new EP songs mixed in. They started with a solid 8 songs of classics before introducing new material. Notable live favorites that were missing were Subbacultcha and Hey.

Joey switched between his black Les Paul Custom, gold top Les Paul Standard, and a hollow body Gibson going through a single Marshall stack. Black Francis did the bulk of the show playing an acoustic Martin, interspersed with his usual white Telecaster and a Gibson SG going through a couple Vox amps. Lenchantin stuck with a Fender Precision Bass the whole show through an Ampeg amp. Paz also played Moog bass foot pedals for some songs, which made her a kind of multi-tasking Geddy Lee, according to my buddy Jonesy.

Black Francis looks to have dropped a few pounds but is still a hefty guy. He could easily switch places with Hank Schrader on Breaking Bad and nobody would notice. Both he and Joey have greatly benefitted from the Billy Corgan shaved head look to make baldness look like a style choice.

Joey interacted with the audience on Vamos with an extended feedback solo. Using the toggle switch on his gold top Les Paul, he pointed to different sections of the audience and would direct white noise at them when they would applaud. This is the most engaged Joey has been with an audience.

La La Love You (which Dave sings lead on) was particularly funny when he started laughing and nearly messed up the ending vocals. Paz Lenchantin did a great job both on bass and with the Kim Deal vocals.

On Isla de Encanta Black Francis wasn’t at the mic when the vocals started, and the song stopped while he bantered that he blew the opening lead while Dave told him just to start singing the opening Spanish vocals…which he did and they quickly resumed playing. Kind of funny, and couldn’t tell if it was staged.

Several songs were given the Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf) treatment, by greatly slowing them down to 1/3 speed (and intensity) for the first several verses before then going back to high speed. They did this for Nimrod’s Son and one other…I think it was I’ve Been Tired.

Overall, a great show. I didn’t expect so many college age kids there. It was about half college kids and half kids of the 80s. So I guess the Pixies are still influencing new generations of hipsters.
