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.

We were fortunate enough to see Austin-trio Harlem at Funfunfunfest (on the Comedy stage, strangely enough) and personally I thoroughly enjoyed their hungover-pill-poppin’-banter compounded with the monsoon that had only just begun. Their brand of raucous and dissonant garage will spread to the masses through their upcoming April 6th release on Matador titled “Hippies”, the first peek we have of this release is below and is quite a doozy.
