FANFARLO PREMIERE VIDEO, CATHY CONTINUES TO BE MY HERO
Many moons ago, Fanfarlo lent their musical genius to the second installment of the acting train wreck that is The Twilight Saga. Today, we get a nice little video for “Atlas” that was filmed backstage at a Sydney gig last year.
The band are currently writing their second album set to be released this year. May we be so lucky!
BANDSTAND BUSKING w/ SLOW CLUB
This summer, Slow Club hit up the Bandstand Busking stage at Meltdown Festival and the official videos have finally surfaced! Huzzah! Check out a spectacular clip of Charles and Rebecca performing one of their newer tunes “If We’re Still Alive” below and find more videos after the jump!
New album in 2011. Can’t wait!
AND SO IT BEGINS….SXSW 2011
If you’ve got frequent flyer miles saved up and about $1000 disposable cash, you a) are one lucky son of a gun and b) should start thinking about buying your badge for SXSW 2011. The music festival will take place March 16-20 and the first round of bands have already been announced, check out the full list or some highlights below:
Bombay Bicycle Club
Frankie and the Heartstrings
Marcus Foster
Veronica Falls
Yuck
I’m sure that a whole slew of other bands I would really, really love to see will get added soon enough, that’s how it always goes. However, I’m realizing that with every passing year I care less and less about not being able to go to SXSW. Not exactly the setting I’d love to see these bands in, you know? However, if anyone’s got an extra pass to the Interactive conference, I would love you forever if you hooked a sister up! 
SWEETEST BAND EVER MAKES NEW VIDEO
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin have released a new video for “Sink/Let It Sway,” a song given away as a free download earlier this year in the lead up to the release of their 3rd LP Let It Sway.
The band describe the video as “Die Hard 3 meets Point Break meets Lethal Weapon 2 meets True Lies” and that pretty much hits the nail on the head. WATCH NOW! Honestly, how could you not want to watch with a description like that??
They also recorded a session with THEY SHOOT MUSIC in Vienna recently while on their European tour. Watch them perform “All Hail Dracula!” in an Austrian park surrounded by the most obnoxious kids ever and admire their patience and incredible ability to remain THE NICEST PEOPLE EVER. Incredible.
SSLYBY are currently back in the States with The Lonely Forest. Sadly they’re not hitting up Chicago this time around, but take a gander at the dates and run out to a show if they’re coming to your town!
CUT COPY REVEAL COVER ART, HEADS EXPLODE.
Explode from pure anticipation from the EPIC EPICNESS that the band’s third LP will no doubt bring.
CUT COPY. ZONOSCOPE. FEBRUARY 8th 2011.
The cover art is the work of late Japanese photo montage artist Tsunehisa Kimura and totally reminds me of that scene in “The Abyss” with the crazy tidal wave. As if the album title and art weren’t enough to build some crazy intrigue and anticipation in us fans, the band have also released the second installment of the Krozm documentary about the making of Zonoscope. As always, you can watch below. Brace yourself for some intense Dan-screaming-into-guitar-pickup-and-getting-amazing-feedback moments.
REGINA SPEKTOR ‘LIVE IN LONDON’ DVD SCREENINGS
On November 22nd, Regina Spektor is set to release her first ever concert film and recording, Live in London, on CD, DVD, Blu-ray, vinyl, and digital formats. Though filmed primarily at London’s Hammersmith Apollo Theatre, the film will include concert footage spanning Spektor’s 2009 winter UK tour in support of Far.
Live in London is dedicated to Daniel Cho, Regina’s cellist who passed away while on tour this summer. For a glimpse of the DVD, check out ‘Folding Chair’ below!!
The live band really did at that extra oomph to her songs, didn’t they? So good! Anyway, you can take a gander at the 23-song tracklisting and pre-order this bad boy (including limited edition bundles!!) over on Regina’s official webstore.
As a special bonus treat, there will be screenings of the film in select cities November 19th through November 25th!! Chicagoans, you can head over to Lincoln Hall at 9pm on November 22nd for a free viewing! For screenings in other towns, check out CINEMA PURGATORIO.
