Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 9/9-9/15

Posted on by Amanda

Well this is definitely a change of pace. I’m up in LA for the first show of the Dear Boy residency tonight and will return to my humble home of San Diego tomorrow when I have to get back to reality. However, this week is the San Diego Music thing which has some great acts playing like Ra Ra Riot, New Politics, The Silent Comedy, Transfer, Dead Feather Moon, FIDLAR, The Album Leaf, Little Hurricane, and so many more. You can find the lineup for the music fest here. It’s a great way to sample music all around San Diego. If that’s not your thing, there are a *few* other options for you to indulge in though. I’m tired just looking at the schedule. Whew.

New Music Tuesday 9/3/13 Featuring Bastille, The 1975, The Griswolds

Posted on by Kristen

Well, here’s what I’ve got on my radar this week…

Bastille – Bad Blood 

The record has been out for some time overseas, but this week it was finally released in the US and I adore this band and album, so I thought I’d mention it again. It went up to number 2 on the iTunes album chart so I guess I’m not the only one. I’ve been enjoying Bastille in whatever bits I could get my hands on, but now I’m thrilled that I can finally digest the album in its entirety! From more well-known songs like “Laura Palmer” and “Things
Lost in the Fire” to the deeper cuts I wasn’t as familiar with (currently loving bonus track, “The Silence”), I’d say this is one of those albums to listen to front to back on repeat.

The 1975 – The 1975

I am very back and forth on this album from these buzzy indie rockers from Manchester. My ups and downs with the band go back to my first viewing at SXSW which didn’t leave me with the best impression. Then I slowly came back around after hearing some recordings. The first time I listened to this album, I was dancing around the room, but by the end of it, I was bored with its “sameness”. I think I appreciate this band and album most in moderation. I took my favorite tracks (“Sex”, “Chocolate”, “The City”) and put them in their own playlist and now I can’t stop listening. Take from that what you will…

The Griswolds – Heart
of a Lion EP

Fun dance rock from an up and coming Aussie group. You can listen to the EP on bandcamp. I think these 4 songs are a taste of great things to come. I denote The Griswolds a band to watch!


Also:

  • Over the Rhine – Meet Me At The Edge of the World
  • Nine Inch Nails – Hesitation Marks
  • Neko Case – The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You
  • Okkervil River – The Silver Gymnasium
  • North Mississippi Allstars – World Boogie is Coming
  • RDGLDGRN – Red Gold Green
  • Ed Roland And The Sweet Tea Project – Devils ‘n Darlins
  • Frank Turner – Losing Days EP

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 9/2-9/8

Posted on by Amanda

This calendar post is coming to you a little late for a few reasons. Reason 1: Spent all day yesterday cleaning out and reorganizing my tack shed at the barn which made getting up at a decent hour this morning a little difficult. Reason 2: On the way to the barn this morning a beautiful Siberian husky had decided to cross a busy street on it’s own and stop traffic. Fortunately, the dog stopped right at our truck, we picked it up, and proceeded to look for the owner since it didn’t have a collar. Thankfully, we found the owner in less than 20 minutes and did a good deed for the day. However, that meant getting to the barn even later so….. yeah.

New Music Tuesday 8/27/13 Featuring Foy Vance, Matt Wertz, Franz Ferdinand

Posted on by Kristen

New music! New music! New music!!

Foy Vance – Joy of
Nothing 

I got a preview of this album last week at Amoeba records and I have to say it is a winner from start to finish. Foy Vance is a captivating performer and the power and emotion he relays on stage are captured quite well in the record. Expect to hear his songs and name on many a soundtrack in the upcoming year.  If you’re in LA, Foy will be at The Hotel Cafe October 28th. Also, this song is up for free download on iTunes so don’t miss out!

Matt Wertz – Heatwave 

The singer songwriter takes a step away from the simple guy with guitar model and towards a more heavily produced sound that goes into more pop and even country territories…with a hint of blistering rock guitar solos. Some of the songs come off as a bit cheesy-90’s pop to me, but you can’t deny the catchiness. I prefer the more toned down, meaningful songs, but I applaud the effort to bust out of the box and shake things up a bit. Matt will be in LA at The Bootleg Theater September 12th. The video for single, “Get to You” is a real treat and I feel explains a lot about the record.

Franz Ferdinand – Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action 

I haven’t heard any of the new album, but who wouldn’t be interested in new material from Franz Ferdinand?!? Here’s a taste of the sounds and meaning behind the album:

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 8/26-9/1

Posted on by Amanda

I don’t know about you but I had a busy weekend and it all caught up to me on Sunday when I crashed and burned. Thankfully, I feel fully recovered today but I will probably never recover from watching the VMAs last night. It’s funny to me that MTV still has an awards show for music when they never air music videos. The M in MTV stands for something other than music these days. Does anyone else remember the days of TRL (Total Request Live) which was an actual music video countdown? I do. But I digress, there’s actual real live music out there to go see so go go go!.
