Conan scored the national debut of Peter, Bjorn and John's new single "Second Chance". The song is on their upcoming release, Gimme Some, which hits stores on March 29. They were rockin' the cowbell weren't they?
I love me some Jenny Lewis but the Jenny and Johnny album was a let down for me. However, there was one song on the album I kept in my iTunes library. That song was "Big Wave". SPIN debuted the video today.
The duo have a few more tour dates on the books but nothing substantial other than Coachella. Maybe this means Lewis will finally ditch this Johnny guy and get back to making Rilo Kiley records.
I had an AZ CD back in middle school and I thought he was going to really blow up. He came up in that golden '90s era of hip hop that I so miss. I rarely hear hip hop that I like anymore so that is why I get excited when I come across things online like this.If you like what you hear in this video, pick up his 1996 classic album, Doe Or Die.Will someone please bring AZ to Austin? I'm looking at you Transmission Entertainment and Knuckle Rumbler.
My favorite indie-folk singer if I ever had one is Lissie. I have followed her on YouTube ever since I saw one of her covers waaayyy back in 2009. Not only is her original music fantastic, her covers are some of the best and most diverse around. She covers everyone to Lady Gaga to Kid Kudi and everyone in between. Her latest album Catching A Tiger is out on Fat Possum Records now.
This Friday, Feb. 4, Lissie will perform "When I'm Alone" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. If you are not at Fashion Freakout or Stubb's this Friday, you should check her out. If you won't be home, set your DVR. It airs on NBC, 12:35am ET/11:35pm CT. Check her out. Lissie is awesome!
Holy shit! This looks awful. The kids, they love it though. There's no stopping it. The "Bieber Fever" will get us all before anthrax or ebola will. The end of the world is near...
Tonight Angel Ferrer, formerly of Ill Camino and currently with the Chris Perez project, will be performing with his Daylight Sessions soul band tonight at Momo's. He's a good musician, songwriter and singer. Tonight is a rare opportunity to see him doing his soul thing. He performs at the 12:30am spot after Wendy Colonna and Dave Madden. Yeah it is a little bit late, but his soul music is perfect for ending the night. Take your lady for a night cap and then go home and make babies. Check out this live video clip of Ferrer performing at Lucky Lounge in 2009.
Momo's is located at 618 W. 6th Street above Katz's Deli. Tickets are $10. More details here.
I swear these dudes are one of the one of the best bands on the planet earf. The now Austin based ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead will be performing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on February 7, one day before they release Tao of the Dead. I'm stoked. Remember late Night With Jimmy Fallon airs at 11:35pm CST on NBC.
This was captured by a local blogger I know very well. It's not bad quality for a mini-cam. The set by The Young Maths was killer as was the rest of the Austin Vida showcase. Of course I'm supposed to say that but the numbers and quality of talent don't lie. More footage and pics to come your way soon.
While Red River Noise is not yet a year old, my crew and I made some serious headway in 2010. We debuted with a an epic day party during South By Southwest that had both Zlam Dunk and Bright Light Social Hour on the bill. We offered media sponsorships to various local shows, including those put on by Giant Steps and Adi Anand. Now, we are back at it this week for Austin's own little local music festival of sorts, Free Week.
This year we went "off the river" to one of my favorite venues in Austin, The Parish. During a cold January, it is nice to have an indoor venue that is not only warm, but has epic sound and lighting. Shows at The Parish always look great in photos and the twenties style speakeasy aesthetic looks great.
