Caves

What's creepy: how all these album artwork features the sky and clouds (which is the opposite of caves). Musicians, what are you guys smoking in your band caves?

The last we heard from Caveman was their debut CoCo Beware in 2011. It's been a few years now, but the band is back with a brand new self-titled album coming out April 2nd on Fat Possum Records.

Caveman just kicked off their national tour last night (March 22nd as of this writing) at the Beauty Bar in Las Vegas. We are covering the band when they arrive at The Troubadour
in Los Angeles.

The Chicago-based pysch/drone band is coming to Minneapolis next Wednesday at the Triple Rock Social Club. What's interesting to note is that they're on tour with Chelsea Light Moving, the new band featuring ex-Sonic Youth Thurston Moore.

Cave is currently on tour in support of Neverendless, out now on Drag City.

Tour dates:

The Cave Singers is from Seattle, Washington, featuring former band members from the Smiths-inspired band name called Pretty Girls Make Graves.

Although the band originally signed to my favorite Matador Records, with their current and previous album, they're currently on Jagjaguwar Records. Their latest album, Naomi , was released March 5th.

They are kicking off their national tour next week in support of Naomi .

If it all works out, I am hoping to have their Englewood, Colorado, at the Gothic show covered.

This Brighton-based band is releasing three new songs in support of their new single/EP called Rio (available April 28th). These new songs are the first since their debut album Votive Life, which was released in 2011.

You may remember hearing about Cave Paintings last year, as they tour with Mercury Prize-winners Alt-J and Supergrass' Gaz Coombes.

As for Rio, a CD-release show is scheduled in London for May 10th at Dalston Roof Gardens, although they list that a full UK/European tour will soon follow.

Hear the song now:

Brain-Cave Festival just announced new lineups: Peelander-Z, Hooray For Earth, Lemonade, Black Cobra, J.Viewz, The Suzan, are among the new additions.
