L.A R&B starlet Ramona Gonzalez a.k.a Nite Jewel is playing tonight (11/5) at Boondocks (I know, that’s what we thought too) thanks to the good folks over at Lunaface. Early in the year, they brought Nite Jewel collaborator-turned-friend/funk counterpart Dam Funk, putting tonight’s show in a series of what we can only describe as Lunaface’s […]
Named one of the best shows to catch this week by Houston Press music guru Chris Gray, the enigmatic Deerhoof is playing tonight (11/5) at Walters, and they’re fresh with new material. Don’t let its misleading title fool you. Breakup Song is a powerhouse of energy, blending idiosyncratically noisy guitar and synth and a punchy yet […]
Check out Doughbeezy, among others this Friday at Lynn Eusan Park
2012 had some great summer jams (admit it, you learned every word to “Call Me Maybe”), but few were as engrossing and straight-up gorgeous as DIANA’s “Born Again.” Like M83’s “Midnight City,” it was a song that romanticized late night adventures and elevated pop music (not just indie) into something almost religious. If you […]
Glass the Sky – Koi Pawned Glass the Sky will be live on Coog Radio this Saturday, November 3rd from 1-3 PM. They’ll be taking questions and playing songs from their debut album. You can hear how the band is growing from our April 2012 GTS post that you can check out here. Glass the Sky will have their […]
It’s a costume contest, a CD release, and a rad concert all in one night. And the best part? IT’S FREE!
American composer Philip Glass will be performing a new composition commissioned by The Menil Collection as part of the celebration of its 25th anniversary. The piece is the 17th of a 20 part series of solo piano compositions entitled Etudes Vol. 2, a continuation of Etudes which Glass began composing in the 1990s. Philip Glass’ work […]
Nearly four years after the stellar (and grossly underrated) Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dream, Solange is back with a new song titled “Losing You.” The Dev Hynes and Ariel Rechtshaid-produced track beautifully links a chaotic mix of samples and handclaps to Solange’s airy and bittersweet voice. While her previous album did perhaps delve too […]
“As the tropical drums kick in, an evil presence (almost demonic) enters the club, unleashing a round of gunfire that leaves no survivors. There’s even a line which declares “sus cuerpos no saldrán en tele nacional, a nadie le importa, ganamos el mundial.” Unsettling, sure. But it definitely exposes the realities (and priorities) of the […]
Following the likes of Transmission Events (FunFunFun Fest), Pegstar.Net (Free Press Summerfest), and 35 Denton (Hot Wet Mess, 35 Denton Fest), Dallas’ Spune has given Texas another new independent music festival, and the concept is simple. “The new festival concept aims to showcase the best of what’s next in indie music (indie next = ind […]
There are few people who can absolutely trance you with their talented performance. I’m not sure if I would call Dan Deacon one of those people. Dan’s absurdist performances have frightened many morning show talk hosts and probably his parents. Sometimes it’s hard for people to respect Deacon as a serious musician, but he has […]
Earlier this year we reported on the minute teaser video for “Lonerism.” Since then, Kevin Parker and his band of aussie-psych brothers have kept busy, working the new material on the summer festival circuit, producing the new Melody’s Echo Chamber album, and releasing a analog-synthesized kaleidoscope of a music video for “Elephant.” This has […]
Former Makeout Videotape frontman Mac DeMarco first broke out in April with Rock And Roll Nightclub which was accompanied by a slew of off-the-wall iMovie promos and music videos. Being virtually a new face outside of Montreal, music bloggers all around looking to identify DeMarco’s sound, which he himself describes as “jizz jazz”, often referred […]
Here is the latest video from indie heavyweights Dinosaur Jr., showcasing not only the single off of their newest album, “I Bet on Sky”, but also the acting prowess of comedian Tim Heidecker of Tim and Eric fame. Until the alt-rock legends arrive in Houston on Oct. 5 to play Fitzgerald’s, check out their video […]
