I was listening to Boy Wonder’s excellent set last night on KSHU in northern California and was blown away by this song from local Arcata band The Cutters.
They sound like The Hollis Wake or Dressy Bessy. Lots more mp3s at their site above. No good pictures though! That’s their tour van pictured. Note the reversed Cutters bumpersticker—it’s the little things.
The Cutters Swing Set
Voxtrot are great. I hope they’ll be really famous one day. They’ve got three great songs for free on their website:
Voxtrot – Mothers, Sisters, Daughters and Wives
Voxtrot – Trouble
Voxtrot – The Start of Something
I would also like to add this song:
Voxtrot – Missing Pieces (thanks The World Forgot)
I can’t wait to see them in NY on 11/6! If you’re around then please come!
Geez Louise! Good news from the Favourite Sons: they’ve signed to Vice Records and have a record due on September 12!
Also, You Ain’t No Picasso has some live recordings of a recent KEXP-sponsored event in Soho.
I know this is so *last year* but I hadn’t heard it. Dressy Bessy’s single Electrified is the first track to really stand out at me from the aforementioned SxSW free trove of mp3s .
I’ve heard the phrase “brusque female libido” bandied about, appropriately.
Metric is one of my favorites. Like top five. Check this video for ‘The List’ from their last album. Also check their site.
UPDATE 7/1: I was just swinging through, updating links on a Saturday night (like you do), and noticed that they’ve posted a/the video for Poster of a Girl! It’s taking forever to download so you will have to be your own critic.
Teaching the Indie Kids posts a pretty cool Calla track today (yesterday, really): Swagger. I have to say, I’m not such a Calla fan as yet. I saw them open for the French Kicks and they were pretty blah. But it was a late show.
Update: the picture above, which used to be Stryper because I thought that was funny, is back to being Calla.
Watch the new video by Palomar for their upcoming album. It provides an important illustrated history of the band. Also be sure to listen to
Knockout from their last album. Sadly, it cuts off. But then there you are. I’m not saying anything.
