Slowdive – Ace Hotel – Los Angeles – Tonight!!!

14/11/08 at 11.08am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Slowdive2GoINDEEpMusic will be out at the Ace Hotel tonight in the friendly surroundings of downtown Los Angeles for an evening of elegant shoegaze with English indie rockers Slowdive.  The pedal pushing phenoms reunited earlier this year after splitting up in 1995.

The shoegazing specialists were formed in Reading by Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell back in 1989, and the two share guitar/vocal responsibilities.  The rest of the quintet consists of bassist Nick Chaplin, drummer Adrian Sell, and additional guitarist Christian Savill.  Over a six year career the band released three critically-acclaimed albums along with a handful of extended plays.  The band credits Pink Floyd and the Sex Pistols as their influence.  For those that enjoy fun facts, Slowdive was once known as The Pumpkin Fairies early on.

The band has been on tour since May, playing 27 music festival, not quite Outkast numbers, but still impressive.   The North American leg of the tour concludes with two nights at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles.  The setlist for the reunion tour was constructed by an online survey, Halstead says that “kids” could vote on what they wanted Slowdive to play.  Call me crazy, but the first “kid” I see tonight will be the only “kid” I see tonight.  The five-piece plans to return home and hit the studio in hopes of putting together a new album, we’ll see where that goes.  In a recent interview, Mr. Halstead indicated that the band has no aspirations of becoming a Heritage Act, or hitting the Heritage circuit.  With a limited catalogue, the band has no use for playing the same songs night after night.

The Duluth, Minnesota slowcore band Low will provide support tonight.

Luna To Reunite, Just Not At The 2015 Coachella Festival

14/11/05 at 7.26pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

LunaAfter nearly ten years away , the indie dream-pop band Luna announced that they are reuniting.  The band that was formed by former Galaxie 500 frontman Dean Wareham back in 1991, confirmed the reunion with an announcement of a string of April 2015 dates in Spain.

Wareham said  “we’ve been talking about it for a little while, it’s been 10 years since the last show.  We got this offer from a promoter in Spain to do a short tour, and it sounded like fun.”  What sounds like fun to me is if they would have talked to Goldenvoice and reunited on the Outdoor stage at roughly 7:15 pm at the 2 Weekend Coachella Festival next April.  Instead, they plan is to do a short U.S. tour that will include, as Wareham adds, “fun places like New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles” post Spain. Those aren’t fun places, a fun place would be in my backyard.

The band released seven studio albums over a 15 year career, most notably, 1994’s Bewitched, and the 1995 release Penthouse.  The group’s current lineup consists of Wareham and his wife Britta Phillips, along with Sean Eden and Lee Wall.  I always make sure I let everyone know that the original Luna Lineup included drummer Stanley Demeski of one of my fave indie bands of all-time, The Feelies.

See you in Los Angeles next spring.

The Charlatans UK Announce New Album “Modern Nature”

14/10/22 at 1.18pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

The CharlatansSomeday when there’s more time, I’ll begin counting down my Top 365 bands of all-time.  Rest assured, the legendary baggy band The Charlatans will be in my Top 10.

The Charlatans confirmed this week that their first album since the passing of original drummer Jon Brookes will be released on January 26 in the U.K., it remains to be seen if the U.S. release will follow that schedule.  Mr. Brookes passed away in 2013 from brain cancer.

The forthcoming album entitled Modern Nature, is the follow-up to 2010’s Who We Touch.  It was in 2010 that Brookes collapsed on stage in Philadelphia, and later diagnosed with a brain tumor.  The band says that “Jon was adamant that there was going to be another Charlatans record,” he said, “and you have to put that into your own thoughts.”  Modern Nature features three drummers, Pete Salisbury of The Verve Fame, Stephen Morris of New Order, and Gabriel Gurnsey of Factory Floor.  For the time being, Salisbury will act as the touring drummer.

The band has a handful of U.K. dates lined up for March 2015, this will set up perfectly for a 2015 Coachella appearance in April.  Add The Charlatans to my 2015 Coachella Perfect Poster Wish List.

A few week ago the band dropped a video for the lead track “Talking In Tones” from the upcoming album, view it below.  The track “So Oh” will be the first single released from the album, look for it on December 1.  For those that have not followed the band’s career since their amazing 1989 debut Some Friendly, this will be their twelfth studio album, who knew? except me.

  • Tracklist:
  • 1. Talking In Tones
  • 2. So Oh
  • 3. Come Home Baby
  • 4. Keep Enough
  • 5. In The Tall Grass
  • 6. Emilie
  • 7. Let The Good Times Be Never Ending
  • 8. I Need You To Know
  • 9. Lean In
  • 10. Trouble

Pixies To Revisit “Doolittle” … Yet Again

14/10/16 at 10.20am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Pixies DoolittleApparently, the 20-year Anniversary celebration of the Pixies classic album “Doolittle” did not produce the revenue numbers to Frank Black’s liking.  The band recently announced plans to reissue the “Doolittle” album in a special expanded 25th anniversary edition.

The new “Doolittle” is scheduled to drop on December 2 and be made available on 2LP’s, 3 compact discs, or for those that can’t stand anything physical, digital form.  The expanded edition is said to include 50 tracks, in other words, the 15 original tracks from “Doolittle” and 35 different variations of those tunes.

Maybe what the band will to do is; tour the world two times over playing “Doolittle” is its entirety for the next four years selling t-shirts that shrink 2 sizes after the first wash… wait, they already did that.

In all seriousness this is what can be found on the expanded “Doolittle.”

Pixies Share Video For “Ring The Bell”

14/09/20 at 7.40am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

PixiesIn advance of their brief 11 dates in North America set to begin next Saturday night in San Diego, Frank Black and Co. have emerged with a video for “Ring The Bell.”  Also included on the tour is a night at the Hollywood Bowl next Sunday, as well as a string of four dates in Canada in early October.  Currently tickets still remain for nine of the eleven shows, that will happen when tickets are way overpriced.

“Ring The Bell” joins the collection of tracks from the band’s latest album Indie Cindy that the Pixies took time out of their busy schedule to make a video for.  Actually, two fans, Lital Mizel and Adi Frimmerman directed and appear in the video, read all about it here.  I think there’s only one more tune from Indy Cindy that needs a video, but I’m not the person who keeps track of things like that, so I could be wrong.  To clear up ongoing confusion about the tune “Ring The Bell,” it’s not a cover of the Anita Ward disco classic.

Surprise! U2 Drops New Album “Songs Of Innocence”

14/09/11 at 8.44pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

U2 Songs Of InnocenceBono and Company pulled a page out of the Frank Black book of surprises.  The Irish power-pop band surprised everyone on earth Tuesday morning, except those associated with inner circle at Apple Inc,  by dropping their latest studio album exclusively on iTunes.  U2 and Apple have teamed up for the world’s largest album release in history… allegedly.

However, much of the level of surprise came from the fact the album showed up on iPhones whether you wanted the album or not, and for free no less.  Internet and social media outrage is in full force, most of which is centered around whether the Heritage Act has the right to take up valuable space on one’s mobile phone.  On the other hand, the quartet has received positive reviews, and many fans appreciate the group’s generosity during these tough economic times.  What side of the fence are you on?

For those that do not possess an iPhone, simply log on the your iTunes account and download “Songs Of Innocence” for free.  Individuals without an ITunes account can wait until October 13 when the album receives a physical release.

Bone released this statement on the band’s website about the release:

“People who haven’t heard our music, or weren’t remotely interested, might play us for the first time because we’re in their library,” he writes. “And for the people out there who have no interest in checking us out, look at it this way… the blood, sweat and tears of some Irish guys are in your junk mail.”

“Songs of Innocence” tracklisting:

01 The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)
02 Every Breaking Wave
03 California (There Is No End To Love)
04 Song For Someone
05 Iris (Hold Me Close)
06 Volcano
07 Raised By Wolves
08 Cedarwood Road
09 Sleep Like A Baby Tonight
10 This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now
11 The Troubles.

Pixies-Indie-Cindy-tapeFor those individuals that refused to pick up a copy of the Pixies first album in 23 years until it was released on physical cassette, today is your lucky day.  In an effort to squeeze every possible nickel out of every fan worldwide, the college rock veterans have made the “Indie Cindy” release available on cassette tape, no shit.  There’s no denying the fact that I love cassette tapes, but “Indie Cindy” on cassette, really?

Failure Wrap Up Successful ‘Tree of Stars Tour’ – Record New Music

14/06/21 at 9.06pm   /   by present-tense   /   0 Comment

Failure - Marquee 0

Present-Tense here contributing another article so Daver will stop attributing his love for Lana Del Rey to me. I think he’s got some weird projection issues or something. I mean, I did check out some of Lana’s new stuff on Spotify and it wasn’t too bad, but that was just because Daver wouldn’t lay off. “Ultraviolence” helped me get to sleep in under 10 minutes, so it has that going for it.

Anyways…the band Failure wrapped up their successful ‘Tree of Stars’ Tour in Hollywood, California on June 18th. I had the privilege of catching two of their shows on this tour and I have to say the 17 year wait was worth it.

I got into Failure  just as they were in the process of breaking up. I actually caught of snippet of their tune ‘Stuck On You’ during a segment for the movie “Independence Day” on the 1997 MTV Movie awards. Yeah, that was pretty random. From that point on, I’ve been a little obsessed over them. Not to the level I am with Pearl Jam, but pretty damn close.

Failure - CinquantraThe first of the two Failure shows I attended were part of the Maynard James Keenan 50th Birthday party celebration called Cinquantra. My buddy and I (Sean) were lucky to get tickets to the May 11th show (Mothers Day). Failure played 9 songs, but the uniqueness of the event led many people to experience their music more than they would have if it they were a traditional opening band. Failure was dispersed throughout the evening and it was to hear them perform ‘The Nurse Who Loved Me’ with Maynard. So even though they played 9 songs, it left me wanting more.

My luck continued to run as they announced a show at the Marquee Theater in Tempe Arizona on June 13th. I knew that as soon as this show was announced I would get to see this band for the first time up close. I dragged the wife to this concert as she’s been hearing me go on and on about this band for the last 12 years to her. I mean she went to see Year of the Rabbit with me when they opened for Pete Yorn (Ken Andrews side project), so she had to go with me to this show right?

Failure opened up their Marquee show with a 20 minute videFailure - Marquee 3o of film clips that inspired them over the years. Clips included some scenes from “2001: A Space Odyssey”, “The Spy Who Loved Me” (which inspired their music video for ‘Stuck on You’ and “Solaris”.

When they took the stage they launched into ‘Another Space Song’ one of my favorites from “Fantastic Planet”. Throughout the evening “Fantastic Planet” featured heavily into their set. A few “Magnified” tracks appeared (‘Undone’, ‘Frogs’, ‘Small Crimes’ and ‘Wet Gravity’) as well as a few from “Comfort” (‘Macaque’ and ‘Screen Man’). The band played for around 2 hours which was great, and throughout the evening they looked like they were having fun. Ken Andrews and Greg Edwards could be seen switching instruments (Bass/Lead Guitar) and drummer Kelli Scott seemed to have four feet. The bass drum and bass guitar were turned way up leading me to almost have an irregular heartbeat.

Failure Marquee 1At the merch table they were selling E.Ps which included 4 live tracks (2 of which were recorded at the Tool show back in March) and a new song called ‘Come Crashing’. I happened to secure one of these EPs so if people are interested I can perhaps give you a listen. As of this post, Failure has released another new track titled ‘The Focus’.

Here’s to more Failure and for more people hearing about this amazing band.

Pixies Share Video “Silver Snail”

14/05/29 at 8.59pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

20140117hoPixiesMag-2 (1)The video making machine that call themselves Pixies, are back at it again.  The latest effort is for the track “Silver Snail.” The tune first surfaced on setlists earlier this year, then was included on EP3, and ultimately landed on Indie Cindy, the band’s first LP in 23 years.  If my math is correct, that makes 10 videos that the band has released in the last year.

The RSD edition of Indie Cindy included a surprise tune inserted in the package called “Women Of War.”  The additional track is now available for free download at the Pixies website in exchange for an email address.

Recently, the band unveiled more North American tour dates for the fall.  The tour commences with a stop in San Diego at Humphrey’s on September 27.  I couldn’t help but notice that they want 87 bucks for a seated show.  Remember when they said it wasn’t about the money?  Guess what… It’s still about the money.

Pixies-Women-Of-War-SoundCloud-Free-Single-Record-Store-Day-Indie-Cindy_jpg-750x0In an effort to continue with nonstop surprises, the Pixies included a brand new song with the pre-release Indie Cindy vinyl edition made available on Record Store Day.

Pixies Added To Coachella! Set Times Revealed

14/04/08 at 10.31pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

628x471As speculated on this blog last week in my piece on Young & Sick, the Pixies have been added to the 2014 Coachella Music Festival. The news confirms what we knew all along… the Pixies were playing Coachella! The tour schedule screamed Coachella, and now we can be pissed there are even more conflicts. The band that’s been full of surprises, pulled off another one, and more surprising than the “late add” was the placement in the Mojave at 8:50 on Saturday

In addition to the Pixies, The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas was also added to the Saturday lineup, performing a few hours before the Pixies in the same venue. Sunday is where both of those acts should have landed, Day 3 was the day in need of indie help.

Enjoy all your conflicts here:
