--- - |- LiveNation handles the most rock shows in the US, and many of their newest venues answer to a higher authority: churches and synagogues have become popular concert spots. One good example is Washington DC's Sixth and I Historic Synagogue, where UK chart-topper Adele recently perfomed, and rockers Grizzly Bear will appear in August. The acoustics, intimate setting, [...] ~~- ...

You know how sometimes you listen to a highly touted band or singer, but something about the artist(s) just doesn’t click. Maybe it was after a recommendation by someone you trust - if you know what I mean, fellow MOGgers. Then, later in the game, you hear an irresistible song that you think that you’ve never heard before, and you’re so excited and delighted, and you must find out who it is.

Tonight was the second night of Grizzly Bear's return to San Francisco... It's also the end of their American Tour... (although they will be playing Pitchfork Fest and a few additional shows... lucky Brooklyn gets a FREE show in August!)... I did the poster for the shows... (which I've posted here)... It might be tough to tell... but the charms on the necklace represent the three proper albums....

And the results are glorious. In my humble opinion anyway. The Grizzly Bear tune 'Knife' was one of my favorite songs from 2006...and Greg Gillis, aka Girl Talk, has totally reinvented it. I hope you guys like this as much as I did...layers on top of layers, a wonderful collage of sounds.

This first week of June is killer for shows in the area. Down in DC tonight is the amazing Grizzly Bear at the 9:30 Club. Here We Go Magic is also on the bill making this show off the hook. If you can’t get into that one (which is a good chance) then don’t despair [...]

Have I told you lately how lovely this album has been?I hate to admit it, but even with my incredible (over-)consumption of music, it's been a long time since I've gotten the tingles listening to an album. Veckatimest is simply a joy.

Grizzly Bear's music videos are always a little unsettling. It's cool though; I'll take unsettling over boring any day of the week. Here is the video for "Ready, Able" off of Veckatimest. The video was directed by Allison Schulnik.Shawn Says:Ready, Able was my favorite track off Veckatimes I think...shit they are all awesome but yea, Ready, Able is my fav...I think ;-) But this video is rad ...

Ohhh "Sasquatch!":http://www.sasquatchfestival.com/. What an incredible festival. We saw 13 bands on 3 different stages in almost 13 hours. It's taken me awhile to get my thoughts together about the trip, and my body ached for several days afterward from all the driving and walking, but it was so worth it. I wish I could live there :) Me and my best friend, Joni, hit the road early for the two ...

I haven't talked to you guys in a while. Honestly, there's a lot of school and radio bullshit and one of my roommates won't pay his part of the electric bill. Musically, I listened to the new Grizzly Bear. Veckatimest is what I'd like to hear from Grizzly Bear. Their previous outing, Yellow House, was known for the quietness of it and how it was kind of disappointing. Ed Droste and company are...

Well, hard to say how well my recommendation of one mogger to the others will go. When I first came across "Great Dane" Henry I tried pointing people in his direction and got no response, save from Disco. But very quickly thereafter people embraced him, so...? Anyways, mogger Magdalenus, based out of Phillie, does some interesting work with a video camera, has just started a live music blog w...

We here at IGIF hadn't even begun to wait for Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest to leak to the world because, well, it's officially three months early! We were guessing mid-April at the earliest, but someone out there had to go an ruin the unveiling of one of the year's most anticipated albums with a terrible, 128kb rip. If you think you've got a better copy, it's probaby transcoded from that one. ...
