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

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.

R.I.P. Casey Kasem

14/06/17 at 3.04pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Casy KasemThis past weekend sad news surfaced on the passing of iconic radio personality Casey Kasem.  Mr. Kasem is best known for hosting the syndicated radio program American Top 40.  His other claim to fame is providing the voice for “Shaggy” in the cartoon Scooby-Doo.

Kasem co-founded the American Top 40 franchise in 1970.  He hosted the program from its inception until 1988, and then again from 1998 to 2004.  In addition to AT40 he hosted spin off shows including American Top 20, Casey’s Top 40, and the television program America’s Top 10.

I hold Casey Kasem personally responsible for my passionate obsession with music, along with my infatuation with lists and making lists.  As a kid growing up in the late seventies and early eighties I spent an inordinate amount of time listening to Casey on Sunday mornings as he “counted down the hits from coast to coast,” documenting it on a legal pad every step of the way.

“Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars”

Casey Kasem was 82.

Blonde RedheadThe New York City nu-gaze trio Blonde Redhead are planning a September 9th release date for their ninth, that’s right ninth, studio album Barragán..  The 10-track Barragán is the follow-up to 2010’s Penny Sparkle, seems like the band has been away longer than that.  The three piece is plotting a World Tour that kicked off in Singapore on June 14.  Denver on July 27 is the only U.S. date listed thus far.  I will add Blonde Redhead to my Coachella 2015 Perfect Poster wish list, never seen them live.

Below are two tunes: the first is the track “No More Honey,” the lead single from Barragán, and second is “23,” one of my favorite tunes from the Zero’s decade.  “23” is the title track off Blonde Redhead’s seventh studio album released in 2007.

BTW, is it just me or is there a trend starting with new music from bands that last released albums in 2010?  In the last two weeks we have Spoon, Interpol, The New Pornographers, and now Blonde Redhead.  Not complaining, just sayin.

Barragán Tracklisting:

1. Barragán
2. Lady M
3. Dripping
4. Cat on Tin Roof

Dum Dum Girls Share Video “Under These Hands”

14/06/08 at 10.52am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

ddg-10068-11028One month ago Dum Dum Girls released a video for “Rimbaud Eyes,” IMO the best tune on their latest album Too True.  This week the indie ladies shared a video for what could quite possibly be the second best track on the album, “Under These Hands.”  The L.A. based dream pop quartet released Too True back in January, and I consider it one of the better album releases of the year so far.  Do your ears a favor and pick it up.

Spoon & Interpol Announce New Albums

14/06/06 at 1.07pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

SpoonIndie stalwarts Spoon and Interpol announced this week that each are planning to release new albums later this summer.

The Austin, Texas indie band Spoon, or as my friend Tim calls them, Spoons, are scheduled to release their eighth studio album on August 5.  The is the first album from Spoon since 2010’s Transference, the new album will be titled They Want My Soul.  The band will be playing predominantly U.S. festival dates that is set to commence on June 7th at the Governors Ball in New York City.  Until recently, frontman Britt Daniels had been busy with the supergroup Divine Fits.
Interpol

The latest effort from Interpol, El Pintor, is scheduled to arrive in record stores on September 9. El Pintor (Spanish for the painter) is the follow-up to 2010’s self-titled album.  This is the band’s fifth studio album and first since the departure of bassist Carlos Dengler.  The NYC based indie band is set to also perform at the Governors Ball, and then hit the road for festival dates throughout the world this summer. Frontman Paul Banks has stayed active as a solo artist,  recently he ditched his alter-ego Julian Plenti.

Put both of these bands down as early favorites to end up on line 2 at the 2015 Coachella Music Festival.

Both bands have yet to release video singles and I won’t bore you with those stupid teaser clips.  With any luck, as soon as  I hit “publish” each of these bands will drop the first single.  Until that happens,  let’s take a trip in the ‘indie flashback machine’ and watch a video from each band.  These are my faves, enjoy!  BTW the Governor’s Ball is available on Sirius/XM all weekend, check listings here.

IMG_5021Chillwave extraordinaire Ernest Greene aka Washed Out just released a video for the track “Weightless.”  The tune is off his latest release Paracosm, released last August.  I was pleasantly surprised with Mr, Greene’s performance at the Coachella Festival back in April.  One never knows how chillwave will translate live.  Washed Out is currently on tour until June 22, the second leg of the U.S. tour begins August 25 in Knoxville, Tennessee.  I highly recommend a night out with Ernest Greene.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

“Only Run”

Frontman Alec Ounsworth and drummer Sean Greenhalgh are the only remaining original members, as CYHSY returns with a new cast of characters.  With the new lineup comes a new vibe that’s IMO very Radioheadesque with a hint of U2, decide for yourself.  The first single is “As Always.”

Watch “As Always” here:

Download  “Only Run” here:

 

Fucked Up  “Glass Boys”

The hardcore Toronto based rockers are releasing their much-anticipated fourth studio album.  This is the follow-up to 2011’s David Comes To Life.  I dig this band’s sound until Damian starts singing, err yelling.

Check out ” Paper The House” here, or not:

Download  “Glass Boys” here:

 

Hamilton Leithauser  “Black Hours”

Recently, The Walkmen sadly called it quits.  Frontman Hamilton Leithauser began life as a solo artist when the band went on hiatus back in 2011.  This is his debut full-length, and “Alexandra” is the lead single.

Watch the video for “Alexandra” here:

Download  “Black Hours” here:

 

Parquet Courts  “Sunbathing Animal”

One of my favorite bands to emerge over the last year and a half is Brooklyn based indie rockers Parquet Courts.  Their sophomore release follows last years highly-praised debut Light Up Gold.  The lead single is also titled “Sunbathing Animal.”

Watch “Sunbathing Animal” here:

Download  “Sunbathing Animal” here, you can thank me later:

 

The Orwells  “Disgraceland”

Chicago teenage indie rockers The Orwells are a band on the come.  They’re releasing the follow-up to Remember When, their debut full-length.  The band teased us last year with two extended plays, all the while pissing off the likes of Arctic Monkey on tour.

Happy Birthday GoINDEEpMusic

14/06/02 at 9.29pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Birthday Cake imageOn June 2, 2013 we launched GoINDEEpMusic with a post about the Make Music Pasadena Festival that I was attending that day.  I followed it up with my first article the next day, a review of the festival, and from that point we were up and running.  The idea started back in 2007 and I purchased the domain in 2008,  finally in 2013 the blog went live.  The site would have never been possible without the assistance and ongoing commitment from Jimi-Jam.  Together, we have built a fun blog that promotes bands associated with the current indie music scene, and attempts to keep Heritage alternative rock Acts relevant.  A HUGE thank you to Jimi-Jam!

Now on to the Fun Facts:

There were a whopping 440 posts in the first year, 405 of which I wrote.  A special thank you to Present-Tense who contributed 29 unique posts that always leaves us wanting more.  PT’s help during the unprecedented project of Coachella 2014: 77 Bands In 77 Days made the whole thing come together.  Thank you to Tracy, Martin, Nick, Shae, and Jimi-Jam who also contributed articles to the site.  Finally, thank you to everyone that views the site, whether you do it daily, or just take a quick look-see every once in awhile.

By now the question on everyone’s mind is “how many Pixies posts were there?”

Drum roll please…

There were a total of 26 articles specifically about the Pixies, or an average of one every two weeks.  There were an additional 31 posts that referenced the Pixies, for a grand total of 57 Pixies sightings on the blog.  As always, please check my math.

This is fun!

Thank you,

GoINDEEpMusic
