We were asked to participate in Rubber Gloves’ FREE WEEK right as everyone gets back in the school vibe and to handpick a few bands to showcase at our show September 4th. Mind Spiders are an obvious one–side project of one of local punk legends Marked Men, we’ve already been shoving in your face for awhile now. Sunnybrook and Melting Season are both associates of Denton musical ensemble Sleep Whale–both bands run the gamit of soundscapes, with Sunnybrook’s songs being much more blown-out with thick-set contruction and foggy electronic samples while Melting Season is more instrumental with story-bookish and immersive murals accompanied by jolting soundbytes. Lastly but not least we’ve incorporated the psychedelic-seizing pop of Land Mammals, a band new to my ears whom I caught wind of through their hallucinogenic-house show performances that are seemingly constant in Denton these days. That is what we’re bringing on our side, now I expect all of you reading this to show up and have fun, because after all its FREE. Here is the fbook event page.
Mind Spiders – Dirty Secrets
Sunnybrook – Lobby
Melting Season – The Cliffs
Land Mammals – Poprocks

Tonight at Rubber Gloves in Denton, and it’s free (for most). On the last few stops of their ep release tour, The Spooks have joined with Wild Harem and will meet up with “new dudes” Final Club while here. Just sayin, after selling out their very first show and a few sneak peeks at their upcoming (6 track) ep, Final Club is a great addition to an already burgeoning Denton scene. If you can’t make the show tonight, The Spooks ep can be purchased through email (spooksquares@gmail.com and they’ll link you up to paypal). See you there.
The Spooks – Featherleather
Wild Harem – Talurah Tom Tom

The output of quality music, so far, by the band Fergus & Geronimo really cannot compare to their counterparts. In my humble opinion, the band is at the forefront of a burgeoning new branch of music; I think its the soul vibes that do it for me. By my count they are already pre-ordering one new 7 inch on Transparent and have released two more thus far, on Woodsist *sold out* and the most recent on Tic Tac Totally!, the latter of the two I actually ordered for myself recently. The band is listed as a “casual project” as of now, and no shows are up on the band’s Myspace but I am willing to bet they will have a show soon; maybe a free show this Friday, Sept. 4th at our friends’ Rubber Gloves with Sleep Whale and Dust Congress, you can never know for sure though.
Fergus & Geronimo – Powerful Lovin’

Weekly Tape Deck is very proud to announce our first showcase, brace yourself because its a doozy. The show will take place October 10th at everyone’s favorite Denton, Texas venue: Rubber Gloves. The show will be headlined by the beautifully talented Bosque Brown, whose album Baby has been lovin’ on my speakers since it was released in March of this year. Bosque Brown is a pseudonym for the soulful Mara Lee Miller whose élan vital is her hauntingly beautiful voice; perhaps best described as one Flannery O’ Connor crooning Cat Power songs. We are also very lucky to have the talents of My Gold Mask playing the show, as they will be on tour burning up the Midwest as the dog days of Summer take a backseat for the one-dog nights of fall. The MGM duo of Gretta Rochelle and Jack Armondo have been on WTD’s radar for a bit and we are elated to see them live; you should be as well. Local act This Old House rounds up our first showcase, this band is part of the every-growing music scene in Denton and paints palette’s of hazy skies with their brand of what sounds to be minimalist Robin Guthrie-inspired pop songs with a dash of Americana for some sweetness. So there you have it folks, our very first showcase….you say you’re not convinced yet? Well take a listen to the tracks below and that might change your tone.

Bosque Brown – So Loud
My Gold Mask – Monomania
This Old House – At Risk
Some of you skeptics still aren’t convinced? Well watch this.

Killer show last night in Denton at Rubber Gloves with Mika Miko, Strange Boys, and Bad Sports. Picked up a cassette tape from BS and jammed that on the way home even though my ears were ringing non-stop. The guys from Denton made a lot of new fans last night from the small, but appreciative crowd. Strange Boys delivered a stellar set that was a good change in pace juxtaposed with the headliners, Mika Miko. They absolutely blew me away in terms of energy and the ability to galvanize an audience. Reminded me of some hybrid of Pylon/Go-Go’s.
