For those of you who don’t already know Fergus & Geronimo get ready. These guys hail from Denton, Texas and blend the right amount of punchy Motown pop with fuzzy lo-fi punk. As you may know F&G is playing in DC at Velvet Lounge on August 17th w/ newdust bros Long Walks on the Beach and Archivists. Last I heard the band is releasing an EP very soon with Hardly Art. Until then enjoy the Yours Truly video for the soulful B-side “Powerful Lovin” (newdust fave), “Blind Muslim Girl” (buy it here) and “Girls With English Accents”. See you at the show! |

Newdust is happy to present our first exclusive remix. We were lucky enough to have Brothertiger remix a track off of Loose Lips new EP Lower Your Expectations And Be Happy and we have been riding ~~~~~~~~ chillwaves ever since. Obviously we are biased in this endeavor so I will let the music speak for itself. Enjoy! ATTN DC: Go see Loose Lips play with Detox Retox for a dual EP release party this Saturday June 19th at Black Cat. |

So newdust and co. threw what ended up being a pretty killer party at PAPER SUN last Saturday. The bands all played great sets. From the bombastic guitar of Delicate Steve, to the smoke filled mystery of Midnight Kids, to Long Walks on the Beach burning the house down with his single “metaPhysical”. Thanks again to Jess Dye, Paper Sun, Lane Pearson and everyone else who made this event pretty much the best Saturday I have had in a long time. If you missed it don’t worry… we are already brainstorming the next one. Cheers! PS: If anyone has more video or pictures of the event let me know and I will post it. |

Here at newdust we are huge fanboys/friends of the bedroom-pop project Long Walks on the Beach. So because of our mild obsession we feel we have no choice but to throw a party! Join newdust and friends at the “metaPhysical” single release party on May 8th at PAPER SUN. We are also lucky enough to have other newdust faves Midnight Kids and Delicate Steve. Speaking of which… after much anticipation LWOTB has sent us over the new single “metaPhysical”. I think it speaks for itself. Enjoy! |

Midnight Kids is a fantastic shoegaze band (don’t know? check out My Bloddy Valentine’s Loveless and that will get you started) out of DC. Their EP Basement Dreams is appropriately titled. When you listen to the record, images of smoke filled rooms and flashing neon lights come to mind – which is what I think they are going for here. Their music is ethereal enough to be interesting but does not cross the line into the cliche. The haunting vocals, spacey keyboards, and powerful guitars send you through a melodic time warp taking you back to when distortion and fuzz were king and the louder you played the better. Not to mention the ryhtym section of this band is doing all it can to keep this guy’s toe tapping. Plus they have a song in French… so rad. Enjoy! ATTN DC: Midnight Kids is playing at the Long Walks on the Beach metaPHYSICAL single release party on May 8th at PAPER SUN. I have a feeling they are really really loud… |

Delicate Steve hails from New Jersey and is fronted by DIY musician Steve Marion (who also runs a pretty rad label/collective called Small Boy Pants). Delicate Steve’s music takes a bit of a commitment. Because there are no vocals, Delicate Steve makes you work for those sweet pop melodies buried beneath the fuzzy percussive layers of guitars, analog synths, and drums. (Think about if Ratatat only listened to Sung Tongs by Animal Collective) ”Butterfly” is a perfect representation of the album Wondervisions. It starts off simple with a good beat and then builds and builds and builds, and then… right when you think its going to end the song just smacks you right in the face. These guys have earned a few fans here at newdust and we are looking forward to seeing them live. Enjoy! ATTN DC: Delicate Steve will be playing at the Long Walks on the Beach single release party on May 8th at PAPER SUN!!! Be there… |
