Another bangin’ Deerhunter bootleg. This is a high-quality audience recording, taken from June of this year in Sydney. It comes to you courtesy of the groovy blog down under Bastard Squad (via Fuck Yeah, Deerhunter), which has an array of bootlegs from other great groups, as well as photos of pandas and other radness.ZIP :::Deerhunter [...]

It’s gonna smoke. Two visionary locals and one band from Detroit to seriously start watching. Doors at 8 p.m., music at 8:30 p.m. or so (give or take a rock and roll curve of 15 minutes). And DCE has a shit-ton of new craft beer. See ya there! [...]

Disappears have the Anton Newcombe approach to the music business – give all your shit away on the Intarwebz for free, and worry about sustainability later. I dig that. Since I’ve been meaning to czech out these dudes for a while, it was rather easy. Thanks, guys.Of course, it would be silly to say that [...]

These chicks window shopping for guitars happen to belong to a sick new collective known as Nisennenmondai. Well, they’re not new new. They formed ten years ago. But they’re new to us, and their sound is definitely a delightful breath of fresh air.Nisennenmondai is a three-piece hypnotic post rock group led by three (incidentally attractive) [...]

I don't mind being wrong on this one. We'll all be privileged to hear the latest from Lightning Bolt, Earthly Delights, one month earlier than what I posted on Friday. It drops October 13, thanks to Load. Prasie be to Allah. That, indeed, is the cover up there. It's like fridge art, except with a Frances [...]

It’s about goddamn time, too! I mean, I know the Bolt Bros have been busy keepin’ it trill – what, with Black Pus and Wizardzz and a collaboration list that expands exponentially like pi. But it’s been four years since the near-flawless Hypermagic Mountain dropped and made thousands of kids realize their capacity for both [...]

The Dame Music Hall, the Lexington venue that housed many amazing acts and was my employer/second home for years, will take a final bow on August 23. It doesn't surprise me. Since the entertainment block downtown was leveled for a development yet to be built (thanks Mayor n00berry) and the venue was relocated, it seemed [...]

I recently stumbled upon this impeccable DAT soundboard-quality bootleg of a November 1994 performance by Ride, though bootleg may not be the right word. This recording often appears on the band discographies, but Ride never gave permission for an "official release." Hence, before the mighty intarwebz, Live Light was available only in Japan. Particularly special about [...]

I love well assembled folk music, but too many bros and broettes fuck it up royally. So while Out Like Lambs, the duo of Rachel Ade and Michael Lucio Sternbach, might seem familiar, they’re undeniably refreshing. My experience in New Jersey is limited mainly to Hoboken and Jersey City, which are not necessarily the most [...]

I feel like a doof for being completely un-fucking-aware that Nothing People dropped a doosey of a jam hive earlier this year until I read Joel Hunt’s review in LEO and got stoked. Late Night is a definite departure from Anonymous. The sound is richer – less spastic and noisy – and straddles the median [...]

Tea Tornado marks the reclusive Marmoset’s second effort since parting ways with Secretly Canadian, and first since the passing of member LonPaul Ellrich. Perhaps these tertiary factors have contributed to a different sounding Marmoset, one that has a newfound obsession with pastries (three songs are titled after items you’d find in a bakery). Or perhaps [...]

Totally stoked to bring in Detroit’s psych/shoegaze/kraut machine Oblisk with visionary freak folk noodler R. Keenan Lawler and Louisville’s Softcheque, featuring members of Sapat. This is an all ages show at the funky Derby City Espresso. See you there, dorks!MP3 :::Oblisk – BeirutR Keenan Lawler – Live on ‘Phoning It In,’ WELH Providence [...]

It's worth noting immediately that the Round Robin Tour - Deerhunter, No Age, and Dan Deacon performing "in the round," as it's called - was one of the best times I've had at a show in recent memory. The show was intense yet lighthearted, and loud as hell throughout. The music, in all aspects, was [...]

Glassworks in downtown Louisville has been hosting a solid roster of shows this summer, and have made some pretty rowdy screenprint posters to promote said events. Tomorrow night, the art studio cum music venue welcomes the best new band in town, Invaders, with Chicago’s incredible and bizarre D. Rider (”D Rider” was one of many [...]

UPDATE 8.4: While I’ve made some rather cute, possibly uncouth comments about the insane weather today in this entry, the flooding has gotten serious in Louisville. I’ve been adding news as I get it on The Decibel Tolls’ Twitter. Be careful out there, ya’ll.Sweet sassy molassey! The concert event I’ve been waiting for all summer, [...]

…because they riiiiiiip. Jesus Walker Christ, this band is fantastic. And they're coming to Louisville soon (more info on that Monday or Tuesday). I plan to publish a review of their just-released full length Weather Patterns as soon as I get it, but right now I'm thoroughly vibin' to last year's Tune In/Tune Out. This [...]

Three unreleased My Bloody Valentine songs. Three. You know what I know, which isn’t much, plus what you know (Johari Window lolz). These songs evidently were recorded sometime between Isn’t Anything and Loveless, and for whatever reason, surfaced just last week. If anyone has more info on this, give me a shout in the comments.The [...]

Let 2009 be the year that sample-based psychedelia, or sampsycore as I call it, really blew up. Panda Bear's Person Pitch got the trend moving (though Boredoms and the like were already building song structures around samples, Person Pitch was the most blatant about it), and has reached a hell of an apex this year [...]

Local Anesthesia is a new regular feature that focuses on music and issues concerning Louisville.As reported a couple of days ago, I honestly feel a little sore about the Black Angels not coming to Headliners. In part from the sobering, sinking feeling of not being able to see a band of this caliber at a [...]

The band’s name features the buzz word “zombie” and hails from New York, but don’t write Manual Zombie off. This is fresh. Mixing the instrumentation of traditional psychedelia with homemade gadgets – everything from samplers to the buzzing of television tubes – Manual Zombie pulls you by the headphone tech down into a celestial swamp [...]
