NYC Popfest 2008 tickets have finally gone on sale. At least, the week passes are available. Better grab them up if you want to be sure you can see Tullycraft. Some of these venues are small.
Okay, this band is just awesome. My only complaint is I wish I had thought of this. The Blue Ribbon Glee Club does semi-acapella covers of punk songs. They haven’t put out an album yet, but I’ve heard recordings of them covering Fugazi, Dead Kennedys, The Pixies, T-Rex, and Sleater-Kinney.
It’s just awesome. I also love how the girls wear sashes to all their shows.
It doesn’t look like they’ve left their native Chicago yet, but if they start to tour, it’ll be pretty great. Or maybe someone should start a chapter in NYC?
My roommate and I were playing music for each other and he pulled out the cd for this 90s Swedish band Eggstone. They seemed pretty solid and we kept listening and then I heard the song I’m posting here. Just a pretty fun song about water.
I’m also including this lounge-y one from the album too, ’cause I liked it.
It’s got a great guitar hook that I’m still trying to figure out. Apparently it’s the catchiest song on their album, according to Three Imaginary Girls.
One of my favorite albums is The Love Letter Band’sEven The Pretty Girls Take Medicine. It came out in 2002 and I don’t think they got enough press. It’s sorta electronic-y and lofi and acoustic all at once. It’s just a beautiful album.
It might not be available anymore. I just checked darla.com and they didn’t have it.
He’s come out with albums afterwards, but the line up seems to be constantly changing and the band’s sound has moved to a more screaming folky sound.
He also seems to go as Bad Weather California.
The Love Letter Band is currently signed to Happy Happy Birthday To Me and their new album can be bought there and at darla.com. The song This World Is Not My Home is from that.
I’ve been hearing this song a lot on KEXP and found this video with the song.
Very nice, especially if you’re into alt-country. I really like the background vocals. They remind me of that lonely sound from the Modest Mouse cover of Sleepwalking, which also has female backup vocals on the chorus. Anyways.
Pufferfish has more songs available at their myspace page. I recommend listening to Rest Stop, where they sound like Van Morrison.
