Re: New Music Recommendations
Been hearing this a lot on KEXP. Huge Neil Young vibe, yes but also enough originality to keep me coming back.

Got an email from the guy that books Summit City in Whitesburg, KY, which is about 75 miles from me, that said he had booked this guy for next month. Liked what I've heard so far, which is admittedly little, so I might have to check him out.

There are more clips from his record (Rain Plains) on YouTube as well as this in-studio performance from KEXP (which I've yet to listen to myself).

He did a couple of tours Norway/Sweden last year. (Or was it earlier this year?) People following the Americana Scene over here seemed to be pretty excited about it, but never got around to see any of his shows.

I just took a look at his tour dates and saw where he's going to be opening for Sons of Bill in Raleigh at Southland Ballroom next month. I'm not real big on Sons of Bill but I'll definitely be checking Israel out.

Re: New Music Recommendations
Been loving these two as of late. The first one is from the new Frontier Ruckus album, Sitcom Afterlife which is out now. The next Decemberists record is due on January 20th.

This new King Tuff is melting my brain. Long live loud catchy weird fuzzy rock n roll

Carolina Low is the best of the new Decemberists songs that Meloy has debuted. Check out his WFUV (I think) performance on YouTube
And I knew when I woke up Rock N Roll would be here forever

Thanks, don't think I've heard that one, I'll check it out.

Was talking with a garage rock friend about King Tuff last night. She caught them with Lee Bains at a recent show they did together in Raleigh. She enjoyed King Tuff but said his voice began to wear on her after a while.
Thoughts on Ex-Hex? Several of my friends are real big on them and I'm pretty sure I've posted about them in this thread previously. They also just got some pretty major props during the Sound Opinions year end best of show.

A few weeks ago, I started on the Ex-Hex album but stopped about halfway through. I wasn't digging the female singer and it wasn't hitting my sweet spot. Not enough psych too much pop I think. Looking at the universal praise it received maybe I should try again.

Re: New Music Recommendations
Fair enough, as a fan of power pop it probably strikes just the right balance for me.
Familiar with The Real Kids? A friend of mine that saw Ex-Hex a few weeks ago said they covered this song. It's admittedly all I've heard by them and I'd never heard of them before but I like it.

Never heard of them, but I kinda dig that. Speaking of Power Pop I've been spinning Actual Water - Call 4 Fun every few days lately. Favorite tunes so far are 647 and Power Pop Radio. Even though I have to sift through a bunch of stuff I'm not interested in, every once in a while Pitchfork steers me towards Titus Andronicus, King Tuff, OBN III's, or something like this.

Re: New Music Recommendations
I like that.
Two bands I got turned onto last weekend. One, due to KEXP (the song I heard, the title track from Lie To Me, isn't online). The second, because a friend shared a bill with them.

I believe these guys are originally from Asbury Park, seen them twice and both times they were excellent.

Re: New Music Recommendations
Frazey Ford (formerly of The Be Good Tanyas) will be part of a line up artists performing with Phil Cook (of Megafaun) at Duke Gardens in Durham tomorrow when he kicks off the first of three nights hosting the premiere of his new Southland Revue album. Also on the bill tomorrow will be Heather McEntire (of Mount Moriah) and Christy Smith (of The Tender Fruit).

Did Frazey Ford leave The Be Good Tanyas? She's still listed on their site as being part of the band.Kudzu Guillotine wrote:Frazey Ford (formerly of The Be Good Tanyas) will be part of a line up artists performing with Phil Cook (of Megafaun) at Duke Gardens in Durham tomorrow when he kicks off the first of three nights hosting the premiere of his new Southland Revue album.

Re: New Music Recommendations
Then, my guess is, she's still a member but I've also seen a couple recent pieces of press that refer to The Be Good Tanyas as her "former group" and / or Frazey as a "former member", like this review of her new album from The Washington Post.Bill in CT wrote:Did Frazey Ford leave The Be Good Tanyas?

Not new just a different take.

Re: New Music Recommendations
You're welcome. Though I love that version, I'm still partial this one. There's just something about it. Can't really put my finger on it. Maybe it's because it's the first place I heard the song. BTW, the version of "History Eraser" within ain't too bad either.TW_2.0 wrote:That's a pretty awesome version. Thanks for sharing.Kudzu Guillotine wrote:Not new just a different take.

Re: New Music Recommendations
I don't think I've seen Sarah Shook and the Disarmer's excellent Sidelong on a single 3DD year end list but knowing folks' musical tastes here, I'm pretty sure y'all would dig it. If you're interested in checking it out, it's streaming on Bandcamp. By the way, this isn't on it as this is a brand new tune.
