Our blogger friends over at ATG have organized a a KILLER show at U Street Music Hall tonight (RSVP and get more info HERE) featuring Summer Camp, Gigamesh, and Ghost Beach. This video has been floating around for a while now, but it is so infectious I had to share. This track is a hit, and you can be sure their album, “Welcome to Condale” (buy it HERE) is chock full of equally delicious tracks. Enjoy, and see you tonight!
Sad news. Newdust bros and local DC rockers Loose Lips are throwing in the towel. They will be playing a farewell show (RSVP here) at the Black Cat DC on January 27 with Lightfoot, Paperhaus, and Ugly Purple Sweater. Be there to wish these dudes luck on their various new projects. In the mean time, listen to some of my favorites from the band, including a Brothertiger remix of “Happily Doomed”. I will miss this band and their Interpol-esque indie chops. Godspeed dudes.

Hey DC! Electro-pop outfit J. Viewz will be playing tomorrow November 10 at Rock and Roll Hotel with DC’s Modern Man. Be there! And until then enjoy their latest video for the very layered and chill track “Building a Home.”
On Saturday, October 22 Class Actress will be opening for Metronomy at Rock and Roll Hotel in DC. Be there to the sexy synth drenched sounds of Elizabeth Harper. And check back soon for a review of the show and her new album “Rapprocher“. Also, is it just me or does Class Actress remind you of a less grandiose version of Martika?

Check out this mundanely beautiful “home video” type music video for “Possession” by Montreal, Canada’s musician/producer Miracle Fortress (aka Graham Van Pelt). This track showcases Van Pelt’s knack for layering instrumentation to create breathtaking shoegaze, indie pop soundscapes and is the first of many “bonus singles,” which were formerly unreleased and written during the time he recorded his sophomore album, Was I The Wave?. If you’re in the New York area and are attending CMJ (I envy you) check out Miracle Fortress on October 20th at Brooklyn’s Public Assembly and the 21st at NYC’s Arlene’s Grocery before he embarks on an European tour through December.
Not our usual thing… but for those of you who are into producer RJD2, I have a sweet and funky track from his latest project. Icebird, teams RJD2 up with the very talented Aaron Livingston to deliver a very laid back pop record, “An Abandoned Lullaby”. The record combines elements of psychadelic, soul and alt-rock. A little different than RJD2’s usual, hip electronic stuff. If you are in DC check ‘em out at 930 Club this Wendesday October 12 (tickets.)

When Josh Halpern isn’t paradiddlin’ around the drumkit for Marmalakes, you can find him keepin’ the beat for Final Exam, another killer ATX 3-piece, set to release their self-titled LP November 10th. The LP’s loaded with jammy, 90s-esque altrock goodness. Stream it here & be sure to check out the release show November 10th with Little Lo & The Eastern Sea @Cheer Up Charlie’s, Austin TX.
