THE WAR ON DRUGS Kovacs & the Polar Bear Tuesday, September 14th @ The Grey Eagle $8 Tickets available SOON @ Harvest, Orbit DVD, Static Age, Grey Eagle & online HERE. The War On Drugs have a superb, memorable, attention-grabbing name that says nothing and everything about what they do. It has contemporary resonance while also placing the Philly five-piece in a continuum of American outsider-gang bands. And although none of their songs appear to address narcotics or the problems they create, there is a blend going on here of rootsy traditionalism and modern instrumental experimentation - with a militant urgency - that makes the War On Drugs the perfect moniker. The wheezing harmonica and rat-a-tat drums, the needling guitars, swirling organ and nasal drone - we've heard these before a couple of times. The War On Drugs are certainly rooted in the 60s and 70s, and obviously comparable to Dylan and Springsteen with their linear narratives and tumble of imagistic language. But the blur of guitar-bass-drums is given a sort of space-rock sheen, a production shimmer, as though My Bloody Valentine or Brian Eno have been messing with the studio controls. ************************************************************************************** 
LOCAL NATIVES Ruby Suns The Union Line Saturday, October 16 @ The Grey Eagle $12 Tickets available NOW @ Harvest, Orbit DVD, Static Age, Grey Eagle & online HERE. Local Natives (formerly known as Cavil at Rest) is an indie rock band based in Silver Lake,Los Angeles, USA. Their debut album, Gorilla Manor, was first released in the UK in November 2009, and later released in the US on February 16, 2010. The album received mostly positive reviews and debuted in the Billboard 200 and at #3 in the New Artist Chart. Their sound has been described as "afropop-influenced guitars with hyperactive drumming and hooky three-part harmonies." Clash Music has also described their style as psych-folk, or modern worldly folk. They started to attract the attention of the music press after playing nine shows at the 2009 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. Initial reviews of Local Natives have drawn favourable comparisons to Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend. June 10, 2010 posted by: mark. NEW RELEASES: Weeks of late May & early June...

ELEPHANT MICAH
Elephant Micah is music by southern Indiana based singer and sound recordist Joseph O'Connell. Taking cues from 1970s songcraft (Townes Van Zandt, Joni Mitchell) as well as midwestern lo-fi rock (Guided by Voices), Elephant Micah has gradually built a cult audience over a decade of do-it-yourself releases and tours.
Echoer's Intent is the first Elephant Micah album to fully foreground O'Connell as a writer and solo performer. These minimal, mostly live recordings often approximate more "traditional" blues or Appalachian stylings. In the same breath, O'Connell takes up imitation and authenticty as his central lyrical themes, producing an album that is both a critique and an example of what can only be termed folksploitation.
This spring, O'Connell embarks on a nine-week tour coinciding with the release of Echoer's Intent.
Please watch & listen to E.M. HERE and THEN if you don't want to see him live, well..... goodness gracious..... |
