U.K. buzzband Temples have shared a video for their latest single “Keep In The Dark.” The neo-psychedelic four piece have had the indie world wondering for months when we’ll be graced with their debut full-length. Unfortunately, the news isn’t good, look for the LP to drop… not until sometime in early 2014. Therefore, I have included two other singles the band shared earlier this year, “Shelter Song” and “Colours To Life” for your viewing pleasure. Temples recently announced a brief North American east coast tour scheduled for November. One can only wonder if the band is waiting to tour the west coast in April 2014. Enjoy!

Flashback Friday: Flesh For LuLu
Flesh For LuLu are an alternative rock band that formed in London, England in 1982. Their alternative sound incorporates a blend of goth and new wave. The original members of FFL included: Nick Marsh (vocals/guitar), Rocco Baker (guitar), Glen Bishop (bass), and James Mitchell (drums).
In 1980 Rocco Baker was in the band Wasted Youth, a New York Dolls/ Stooges influenced project. The band was short-lived, only releasing one LP and a handful of singles. After disbanding Baker hooked up with Marsh, Bishop, and Mitchell and launched Flesh For LuLu. The band’s name is derived from the title of a cult horror movie.
Flesh For LuLu released four studio albums:
Flesh For LuLu (1984)
Big City Fun (1985)
Long Live The New Flesh (1987)
Plastic Fantastic (1989)

Artist Spotlight: Jagwar Ma
Every Sunday we take an INDEEp look into an emerging indie artist. This week we Shine the Sunday Spotlight on Jagwar Ma.
Jagwar Ma are an indie dance band from Sydney, Australia. 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 praises since it dropped on June 11. 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. It only takes one spin of Howlin’ and you’re hooked, trust me.

Flashback Friday: The Afghan Whigs
The Afghan Whigs are an alternative rock band that formed on Halloween night (allegedly) 1986 in The Queen City, USA. The band is comprised of Greg Dulli (vocals/guitar), Rick McCollum (lead guitar), John Curley (bass), as well as multiple drummers throughout the years, most notably Steve Earle and Michael Horrigan. Dulli, McCollum, and Earl met while attending the University of Cincinnati, at the same time Curley worked as a photographer for the Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper. The quartet would soon form the punk band Black Republicans, and then later change their name to The Afghan Whigs, a name borrowed from a Florida-based Muslim motorcycle gang.
In 1988 the Cincinnati, Ohio based project, independently recorded and released their debut album Big Top Halloween. The band developed a strong local following in the mid-west and positive word-of-mouth landed them a record deal with Sub-Pop. Soon after, the band was supporting grunge pioneers Mudhoney. and their careers were off and running. During the Sub-Pop period the band release two albums, Up In It and Congregation. The Congregation LP produced two singles that were well-received on college radio and MTV, “Turn On The Water” (my fave Whigs tune) and “Conjure Me.”
