Depeche Mode – Delta Machine Show – San Diego – 9/22/13

13/09/23 at 9.45pm   /   by Tracy P   /   0 Comment

Depeche-Mode-2013-Tour1Last night, at Sleeptrain in San Diego, Depeche Mode performed with vigor and successfully pierced my core… for the ninth time. As I enthusiastically awaited the realization of what this show would do to me, I understood that my 27+ year relationship with the men of Depeche Mode changed vastly based on what condition my life was in at the time. As I always do, I prepared by learning the setlist, getting to know the new record and mourning the smashes I wouldn’t hear.

The show was amazing, fantastic, awesome! – it was literally flawless, despite my obstructed view of Martin and Dave. I name them in that order on purpose. I was more gripped by Gore’s vocals last night than ever before. His unhurried rendition of “But Not Tonight”, corny as this sounds, brought tears to my eyes and shook me to the very soul of my being! I was equally impressed by Dave’s execution of “Soothe My Soul” – eloquently reminiscent of tracks from Songs of Faith and Devotion. While I thoroughly enjoyed Dave (and those classic mic spins), through no fault of his own I longed for him to give over control to Gore again. It’s probably just where I’m standing in my life today.

Further notable features included the video collection of pets exhibited during “Precious” and the aptly placed melodic sounds that pepper Delta Machine. These guys DO NOT have to play old favorites to keep me engaged! Both “Heaven” and “Child Inside” were executed fearlessly and Depeche Mode proved to this nostalgic and loyal fan that they are worthy of being my favorite band of all time.

On the car ride back to Escondido, as my head reeled, I realized that back in ‘05, “Policy of Truth” did not remind me of the misery that can be wrought by unfaithfulness. And “Question of Time” did not make me anxious wondering what teenaged boys would be thinking of my daughter in two years!

To the men of Depeche Mode, thank you… again!

Artist Spotlight: Swim Deep

13/09/23 at 9.23pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Swim Deep
Almost every Sunday we take an INDEEp look into an emerging indie artist. This week we Shine the Sunday Spotlight on Swim Deep.

Swim Deep is the latest indie buzz band to emerge from the Birmingham, England B-Town music scene. The B-Town scene is a term given to bands that have risen from the Digbeth area of Birmingham over the last two plus years. Swim Deep joins fellow Digbeth groups such as Peace, Troumaca, and JAWS as bands on the come. Although all of these bands have different vibes, local journalists have run with this term to allegedly invented a music scene fad. Members of Swim Deep and Peace claim that they invented the term and are embarrassed that NME and other London based media outlets continue to use the silly term.

The Birmingham four piece consists of Austin Williams (vocals), Tom Higgins (guitar), Zachary Robinson (drums) and Cavan McCarthy (bass). The band formed in 2011 and credits The Stone Roses, Nirvana, and The Jesus and Mary Chain for the band even existing. In their short career, the indie dream pop band have released five singles along with their debut full-length Where The Heaven Are We. The critically acclaimed debut LP dropped back on August 5.

Fans of eighties dream pop, nineties shoegaze, or bands that have Deep in their name should already have Swim Deep in heavy rotation. As for the rest of the current B-Town music scene… everyone knows I’ve been singing the praises of Peace since late 2012 and if you like FOALS you’ll dig JAWS.

Local Natives Play Tempe, Az. and Reveal Video “Ceilings”

13/09/21 at 9.04pm   /   by deepster19   /   36 Comments

Local-Natives1Local Natives performed in front of an energetic crowd at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Arizona last Sunday Night. The Silver Lake, California indie rockers played a flawless set to a audience of mostly desert hipsters, “I am more indie than you” college students, and a few old men.

The beautifully constructed set (setlist below) consisted of an equal amount of tunes from the band’s two studio albums, Hummingbird (2013), and Gorilla Manor (2010). Throughout the evening the enthusiastic crowd provided constant backing vocals, especially on “Wide Eyes” and “World News.” The band opened the set with the 2013 single “Breakers” and closed the set with perhaps one of my LN faves “Who Knows Who Cares.” The self proclaimed ‘unprepared’ set caught the crowd off guard, because up to that point the set seemed fine to me as well as the capacity crowd… just sayin’. The evening ended with the powerful encore closer “Sun Hands,” you could watch it below if wasn’t for a “device malfunction.”

Flashback Friday: Guadalcanal Diary

13/09/21 at 8.55pm   /   by deepster19   /   1 Comment

guadalGuadalcanal Diary was an alternative rock band that formed in 1981 in Marietta, Georgia. Fortunately for the band, they were lumped into the American college radio music scene from Athens, Georgia. Athens was the birthplace of well-regarded bands such as The B52’s, Pylon, Love Tractor, Dreams So Real, Flat Duo Jets, and of course R.E.M.

Prior to changing their name to Guadalcanal Diary, the band was known as the Emergency Broadcast System. The four piece consisted of Murray Attaway (lead vocals/guitar), Jeff Walls (lead guitar), Rhett Crowe (bass), and John Poe (drums).

After making a name for themselves in the Southeast, the band was signed to DB records out of Athens. In 1983 the band released the EP Watusi Rodeo, and a year later their debut full-length Walking In The Shadows Of A Big Man. The LP was produced by Don Dixon (Dumptruck), who is best known for his work on co-producing the critically acclaimed debut full-length “Murmur” from R.E.M. After receiving positive vibes, the band signed with Elektra in 1985 and the studio rereleased WITSOABM along with the single “Trail Of Tears,” while the band worked on their major label debut Jamboree. Unfortunately, the 1986 release Jamboree was not well-received so the band went back to work with Don Dixon moving forward. The result was the 1987 masterpiece LP 2X4, which produced the modern rock hits “Litany (Life Goes On)” and “Get Over It.” Prior to disbanding in 1989 the jangle rocksters released their fourth and final album Flip Flop. The album is known for its catchy alt-hit “Always Saturday” (sing-along with the video below… I known you want to).

The band reformed in 1997 and toured until 2000, while self-releasing a live recording At Your Birthday Party in 1999. In 2011 they temporarily reunited to celebrate their 30th Anniversary at Athfest (an annual festival held in Athens, Georgia to promote local music). Band members have remained busy throughout the years with solo work, producing, and family life.

Guadalcanal Diary released the following albums during their career:
Walking In The Shoes Of A Big Man (1984)
Jamboree (1986)
2X4 (1987)
Flip Flop (1989)

2X4 is an album that should be part of everyone’s wall of sound. If you can grab a copy of the expanded remastered release, even better. The album has shown up on a few of those fun best albums of the eighties lists. I remember having the tune “Litany” on repeat back in 1987. Luckily, it was the lead track on the cassette tape so it was easy to find.

Pearl Jam Release New Single “Sirens”

13/09/19 at 12.11pm   /   by present-tense   /   1 Comment

Legendary Seattle rockers Pearl Jam have set ‘Sirens’ as their follow up single to ‘Mind Your Manners’. ‘Sirens’ is considered quite the departure from the punk rock attitude of ‘Mind Your Manners’. Based on these two tracks, “Lightning Bolt” is shaping up to be quite the album for the Pearl Jam faithful.

Watch the Danny Clinch directed video here.

I think its a great song that will sound even greater live. What say you?

Cover Your Breath, Polish Your Speech… Pixies Begin A New Chapter

13/09/11 at 9.54pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

pixies-el-reyThe Pixies began a new chapter in their storied history Monday night when they opened their 2013 world tour at the El-Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. Playing the first official night with new band member Kim Shattuck on bass, the Pixies ripped through a 26 song set in 75 minutes. The crowd of predominantly 40 and 50-somethings, were chomping at the bit as the line to get in wrapped around the art deco building at least an hour before doors. Prior to opening act Meg Myers taking the stage, the venue was at capacity as everyone staked a claim to their spot.

The Pixies set included a nice mix of new music, classic set staples, and few surprises. The underrated 1991 LP Trompe Le Monde, placed five songs in the set that included The Jesus and Mary Chain cover “Head On” and the rare “Distance Equals Rate Times Time.” The classic indie rockers played two songs off the recently dropped EP-1, “Another Toe In The Ocean” and “What Goes Boom.”

Charles and company opened with a cover of The Fall’s “Big New Prinz” (watch below). From the get-go Ms. Shattuck had a bounce in her step and at times was a little chatterbox. However, at no time did she engage in dialogue with Charles, unlike old Kim’s routine. Many of the same classic Pixies tunes that at we have become accustomed to hearing at shows since they began touring again in 2004 made the setlist,, such as crowd pleasing sing-a-longs “Hey” and “Gouge Away.”

The band closed the set with “Planet Of Sound” and from that moment on… a delightful night out with the new-look Pixies took a bizarre turn for the worse. Frontman Frank Black waved to the crowd and gave a thank you gesture as the band left the stage. After a few minutes of nonstop cheering and yelling, all while we watched the equipment being put into place for the encore…..NOTHING. After about ten minutes the stage lights went on and David Bowie’s “Heroes” began to play as the crowd started the chant “One More Song, One More Song.” After about fifteen minutes it became apparent that they were done (for whatever reason), leaving the three song scheduled encore aborted. Unfortunately, cheers turned boos and smiles turned to confused looks.


We’ll never know why we were short changed out of hearing them play “Andro Queen” live for the first time ever, as well as the classic “Where Is My Mind?” and the one I was looking forward to, “Indie Cindy.” Monday was the first of four nights in Los Angeles. This weekend the Pixies will perform at Riot Fest in Chicago along with The Replacements.

Artist Spotlight: Potty Mouth

13/09/09 at 6.57pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Potty MouthPotty Mouth are an indie punk band that formed Northampton, Massachusetts in 2011. The all girl band consists of Abby Weems (vocals, guitar), Ally Einbender (bass), Phoebe Harris (guitar), and Victoria Mandanas (drums). The ladies took their name from an album by the seminal riot grrl group Bratmobile. Although they have association with riot grrrl bands from the feminist underground punk rock movement, they have denied their music has a political agenda.

Up until this point the band has released the EP Sun Damage in 2012, along with numerous singles throughout 2013. The bands debut full-length Hell Bent is expected in record stores on September 17. You can find the most recent single “Black and Studs” on the GoINDEEpMusic August Mix Tape.
