dead horses

We were fortunate enough to hear Crystal Antlers play “Dead Horses” at funfunfunfest and our very own shindig at RGRS last October, a great bunch of people they are. I knew when I heard “Dead Horses” it would translate well to recording and Im sure its magical on vinyl, if youd like to contribute to the cause, the band is self-releasing a 7-inch with this song and “Little Sister” through their website. You can even download the tracks NOW for free; the band will be making their way through Texas again in a week and a half for SXSW and at the end of March into the great European unknown with a thorough romp through the entire continent.

crystal antlers//live in the loo

After playing a great set at Fun Fun Fun Fest and heading up to Denton to play another killer show, Crystal Antlers stopped with our friends at Indie-Verse and played a four song acoustic set. On the 12th floor of the CBS Radio building (the only place where you could get away with humongous restroom picture windows) CA played four songs acoustically for Indie-Verse’s “Live in the Loo” segment. Actually, they didn’t have an acoustic guitar so they took one off the station’s wall. Think it was signed by Don Henley, Dan Fogelberg, or some other random ass dude. This cover of Bob Dylan’s “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” is one in four of the tunes that they played for us. Our good friend Jordan B even came out of “retirement” to shoot and edit this clip. We’ve even included this mp3 for yr ipods.

fun fun fun fest//day # 1

FFFF

For our first “all access” coverage of any sort of music festival, I’d have to call it a great success. The line ups for both days was absolutely rad. The weather? Completely dichotomous. As for day no. 1, nothing but clear skies and and Spring-like temperatures (we’ll get to day no. 2 later). From the laid-back of chillwave tunes of Neon Indian to the circus show antics of Les Savy Fav, A. Jayne, once again, was able to capture the FunFunFun with pinpoint accuracy . Oh, and I threw in my fair share of pics as well (mine are “sans watermark”). Enjoy…

Complete disregard for “safe” listening levels and a stage presence worthy of starting riots, we are more than pleased to have VIDEO on the bill for the upcoming show at RGRS in Denton on Nov. 9th. Harpal just sent over 2 tracks, “Bookstore” being new and set to feature on Play Pinball Records‘ Denton Denton USA compilation. These should get you set for the date. Oh, Crystal Antlers and The Uptown Bums are also gonna be there? Yeah, arrive early and stay late.

VIDEO – Bookstore
VIDEO – Teenage Death

the uptown bums// reason to be kind

bumslogopyramid-1
If you’re unaware of the long blood-line of Denton DIYers and their penchant for leaving carpets under puddles of beer and racking up countless neighborhood noise violations, allow me to spread the word. I really don’t even know what cowpunk is or how some bro named “Danger” could coin an apple an orange, but The Uptown Bums hard hitting garage pop demeanor stacks tall and they’ve got the pedigree to prove it. On the tails of their first Shake Your Ass 7″, the Bums have sent over their latest, “Reason To Be Kind”, which will see a track list somewhere in the near future. Also, they will be serving on the same bill as Crystal Antlers and VIDEO in our second presentation at Rubber Gloves on Nov. 9th (fliers to come). Check SYA to purchase the limited 7″ and Play Pinball! for a cassette and forthcoming appearance on the Denton Denton USA! compilation.
