Real Estate Announce New Album, Tour & Share “Talking Backwards”

14/01/15 at 9.10pm   /   by deepster19   /   2 Comments

Real_Estate_Press_Web_long_imageReal Estate provided details on their forthcoming album and upcoming North American tour today. The indie rockers third studio release entitled Atlas, is scheduled to drop on March 4. The album’s release will be supported by a North American tour that runs from February 28 – April 5. The tour’s conclusion date opens up the possibility of being a late add to the 2014 Coachella Music Festival. Ridgewood, New Jersey’s pride and joy would provide some much needed indie help to the incredibly weak Day 3.

The three piece found enough time today to also release the first single from the new LP “Talking Backwards” (watch below). Atlas is the follow-up to 2011’s Days.

I always hear some influences from indie pioneers The Feelies when I listen to Real Estate. Coincidentally, The Feelies are also from Jersey.

Coachella Releases 2014 Lineup

14/01/12 at 6.12pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

coa_2014_900x1200_v28-450x600The much-anticipated 2014 Coachella Music Festival lineup poster was revealed on Wednesday night. To no one’s surprise Outkast, Muse, and Arcade Fire occupy the top lines. To everyone’s surprise was the glaring lack of buzz-worthy indie bands that usually make up the meat and potatoes of the weekend.

The festival did impressively book legendary college-rock band The Replacements, per my request. As usual, the festival has an above average sprinkling of Heritage Acts that include, but not limited to The Cult, The Afghan Whigs, Pet Shop Boys, Bryan Ferry and Fishbone. Also procured were the recently reunited Neutral Milk Hotel, their appearance comes just two years removed from frontman Jeff Mangum’s NMH solo set.

Coachella booked some interesting up-and-coming buzzbands this year such as Temples, HAIM, Jagwar Ma, and CHVRCHES, but not to the extent that we’ve grown accustomed to throughout the years.

My initial reaction to the overall lineup is somewhat disappointing, not to mention the font size is unreadable on lines five through seven. There actually could be a line eight for all we know written in pretend font, maybe that’s where they hid the Pixies, what the hell happened there??? All that said, there’s no way you’re going to knock that smile off my face every time I think about The Replacements.

IMG_0460I will be starting a new feature in a couple of weeks where I will spotlight a different band from the 2014 lineup each day, maybe I’ll call it The Coachella Daily, who knows?

The remaining tickets that weren’t sold during the presale back in May went on sale Friday at 10am Pacific. Good luck with that. See you in the desert in 90 days.

14/01/12 at 5.58pm   /   by deepster19   /   1 Comment

wild-beasts1English indie rockers Wild Beasts have announced plans to release their fourth studio album on February 25. The new LP entitled Present Tense, really, no shit, the title is Present Tense, is the follow-up to 2011’s Smother. The band is planning a world tour this spring, and shared a video for the lead track on the forthcoming album “Wanderlust.” I saw these dudes a couple of years ago at Coachella and was thoroughly impressed. They make one stop in the U.S. on March 6 at the Troubadour in Los Angeles.

2013 Band Of The Year: FOALS

14/01/01 at 2.25pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

FoalsEnglish indie rockers FOALS are my pick for 2013 Band Of The Year. Two K Thirteen saw Yannis & Co. solidify themselves as one of THE best live acts in the world. The band is already headlining European Music Festivals and selling out moderately sized U.S. venues, just three albums deep into their career.

I know this selection comes as a surprise to some… based on the comments Mr. Philippakis made about my beloved Stone Roses, but I’ve honestly moved past that. I’ve actually embraced the comment and taken the phase “Heritage Act” to an entirely new level. Thank you Yannis!

I named their third studio album Holy Fire my number 3 album of the year, and the track “Inhaler” received the ultimate INDEEP prize, being named Track Of The Year.

My own selfishness hopes that the America doesn’t accept FOALS in a way that they truly deserve….so I can continue to see them perform in venues no larger than the House Of Blues.

The only negative thing I have to say about these dudes is that they have fallen into this annoying and completely unnecessary trend of releasing NSFW videos. Enough already.

We can now contact FOALS with ALL of the good news!

As we officially put closure to 2013, I would like to thank everyone that have contributed to this site. I hope I have provided knowledge, fun, and a few giggles for those that enjoy my take on the world of indie rock.

I look forward to being one of your daily resources for relevant music in 2014.

Thanks for viewing,

2013 Heritage Act Of The Year: My Bloody Valentine

14/01/01 at 2.18pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

mbv-e1361075065362Irish shoegazers My Bloody Valentine began the new year by self-releasing their third studio album MBV. The band reunited in 2007 and had been hinting that new music was on the horizon. The new album didn’t disappoint, being well-received worldwide. On the night the band launched the album on their website, the site crashed due to apparently “high traffic.” That sounds like a problem we could use…

The follow-up to 1991’s Loveless, is just that. The band didn’t miss a beat, producing something that would have nicely blown out our ears in 1992. The Kevin Shields lead band claims that some of the album was recorded prior to breaking up in 1997, and more of it was written prior to taking the stage at the 2007 Coachella Festival. Now that was a show for the ages…to this day I think I can still hear the Wall Of Sound, especially when I fire up the microwave oven.

MBV has turned up on nearly every reputable Top Albums of 2013 list, including mine, coming in at number 14, I also ranked the track “Only Tomorrow” as the 39th best track of the year.

Frontman Kevin Shields says the band’s intentions are to release an EP of new material soon, and then follow that up with their fourth studio album. How fun, more hearing damage!

2013 Reunion Of The Year: The Replacements

14/01/01 at 2.15pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

20121003-stinson-westerberg-replacements-306-1349296727
2013 saw the unlikely reformation of alternative rock legends The Replacements. Original members Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson reunited and played their first show in nearly 22 years. The band headlined a series of three Riot Fest dates: Toronto, Chicago, and Denver. Paul and Tommy appointed drummer Josh Freeze and guitarist Dave Minehan to replace drummer Chris Mars and guitarist Slim Dunlap.

Earlier in the year Westerberg and Stinson cut a 5-song EP entitled Songs For Slim. The purpose of the record was to raise money for Slim Dunlap’s medical expenses. Mr. Dunlap suffered a severe stroked in February 2012.

The Minneapolis legends were also nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame this year, however they were passed over for other least deserving candidates. Better luck next time Mats!

One can only hope Goldenvoice is working very diligently to procure The Mats for a line two spot at the 2014 Coachella Music Festival.

Watch The Replacement perform “Left Of The Dial” @ Chicago Riot Fest:

Frank Black’s Reaction To Shattuck Firing, “Big Woop-Dee-Doo”

13/12/19 at 9.57pm   /   by deepster19   /   1 Comment

frank-black366Pixies frontman Frank Black has broken the silence regarding recently fired touring bassist Kim Shattuck. In an interview with Yahoo Music, Charles Thompson had this to say:
The big question mark is, if it was going so well, why are you changing it up again? I guess it’s a fair question, but what I would say is, just because some shows went well or a recording session went well with somebody, that doesn’t mean that now you guys are married and this is forever. It’s not really how it works when you’re a band. And it’s hard to explain to people, especially if they get emotionally attached to one person…

Frankly, you don’t want to explain it to anybody – it’s a lot of its personal, private shit. It’s like politics and sports and people’s personal lives have all been smeared together in this modern world. It’s a very presumptuous attitude about a lot of things. [People say] ’Oh you’re shifting something in your world – we demand a statement as to why.’ I’m not the mayor, this isn’t the bus service for a town. This is a rock band. There’s been a shift in the lineup, big woop-dee-doo…as far as we’re concerned it ain’t that big of a deal.

If you’re beginning to feel like the Pixies are in the news every other day, that’s because they are. How Fun! The track “Indie Cindy” from the EP-1, was recently named as the 30th best track of 2013 by GoINDEEpMusic.

Flashback Friday: Swervedriver

13/12/15 at 9.50pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

swervedriverSwervedriver is an English alternative rock band that formed circa 1989. The Oxford based band is best known for their influential contributions to the British shoegazing movement of the early nineties. Initially, the band was active between 1989-1998 having multiple line-ups and releasing four studio albums. The two mainstays are singer/guitarists Adam Franklin and Jimmy Hartridge.

The band debuted in 1990 with a series of three critically acclaimed EP’s prior to releasing their full-length debut Raise in 1991. Each EP produced a single; Son Of Mustang Ford, Rave Down, and Sandblasted, all would eventually be included on Raise. The album Raise is a brilliant piece of early nineties British rock that should be on everyone’s wall of sound.

After a lengthy U.S. tour supporting Soundgarden, they experienced a line-up change before releasing two more EP’s and then their sophomore album Mezcal Head in 1993. The well-received classic album fuses a mix of Shoegazing and grunge with a hint of American indie. The album produced two alternative rock singles “Duel” and “Last Train To Satansville.”

Due to a palethra of record label issue, the band’s third album Ejector Seat Reservation was never released in North America. Going against the band’s request the label chose “Last Day On Earth as the lead single. The idea was to capitalize on the popularity of Btitpop at the time. because the song sounded as close to Oasis as they were going to get. The band’s poorest selling album is still held in high regards with the critics, but still remains an import-only in the States.

Shortly before breaking up in 1998 the band signed a three-album deal with DGC Records. In typical Swervedriver fashion that deal went to hell quickly for a number of reasons. They were able to get their final record 99th Dream released through an independent source, along with two more EP’s before calling it quits.

Franklin went on to record as Toshack Highway and later collaborate with Interpol drummer Sam Fogarino in Madnetic Morning. Longtime members Graham Bonner and Adi Vines formed Skyscape.

After much-spectulation Swervedriver reunited in the Fall of 2007, citing the success and positive reaction the Pixies had received since 2004. The band kicked-off their reunion tour at non other than the Coachella Music Festival in AoPril of 2008. Now I don’t consider myself a “Swervie” but I was extremely excited about the event….. I ran from the beer garden to the Mojave to ensure my spot on the rail. Eventually, the rest of the deepsters arrived on the scene and at that point I finally turned around to see there wasn’t anyone else in the tent. How embarrassing! ….. not for me, for America.

This week the band released their first piece of recorded music in nearly 15 years. The song “Deep Wound” first surfaced on Jimmy Fallon back in 2012. The new single was made available on iTunes this past Tuesday. Listen to the track below.

Swervedriver’s 4 studio albums include:
Raise 1991
Mezcal Heal 1993
Ejector Seat Reservation 1996
99th Dream 1998

The Bobby Gillespie fronted band also revealed that they will be returning to the U.S. in late spring 2014 for a twelve date run. The band played six California dates back in October, which I unfortunately missed out on. The possibility for Coachella exists as the band is playing Mexico City’s Vive Latino Festival in late March, and their U.S.tour “begins” April 30 in Houston, Texas (see dates below). Primal Scream is on my short list of Bands That I Need To See Live.

In other related Coachella news this week:
Dum Dum Girls revealed that their appearance is likely based on their tour “ending” on April 8 in San Francisco. However, you’ll have to wait and see on this one, since the tour does hit West Coast cities early on.

Pixies Reveal New Bassist & Video

13/12/09 at 7.39pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

pazWithout even an official whisper from the band concerning the termination of touring bassist Kim Shattuck, earlier this morning the Pixies announced her replacement. The band revealed that Paz Lenchantin will be the bassist on their forthcoming 2014 tour in North and South America, and Europe. Lenchantin, whose resume includes A Perfect Circle and Billy Corgan’s (Smashing Pumpkins) side project Zwan, takes over for the recently departed New Kim and original bassist Old Kim. Although it can’t be confirmed, we can only assume that Ms. Lenchantin’s middle name has to be Kimberly.

Drummer David Lovering addressed the Lenchantin hiring in an email sent to fans earlier today:

“We are really looking forward to playing with her on these dates. Working with different bass players is very new for the band, but we’re having a great time doing it.”

In addition to the bassist announcement, the Pixies also unveiled yet another video, this time for the EP-1 track “Another Toe In The Ocean” (watch below).

I look forward to seeing Paz in Phoenix on February 24, and again Weekend 1 of the Coachella Music Festival in April.
