Escaping from the Great Escape: Deap Vally and Parquet Courts

Brody and Jess were in Brighton, covering The Great Escape Music Festival earlier this month. Two of the NME Radar Showcase American bands are back in the U.S. on tour. I'm hoping to have both of these shows covered:

DEAP VALLY

Los Angeles' Deap Vally will be appearing at all music festivals known to mankind this year. Not kidding, the rock duo (guitarist/singer Lindsey Troy and drummer Julie Edwards) will be appearing at Bonnaroo, Splendour In The Grass, Lollapalooza, Reading, Leeds, just to name a few! This is pretty great for a band with only one EP called Get Deap!

I'm personally not a fan of big festivals; I prefer the more intimate settings of a dive bar. Not problems for people like me either: the band will be doing a number of small venues with The Whigs next month.

The loud punk-ish rock band Parquet Courts is currently on tour for their debut album, Light Up Gold, out now on What's Your Rupture? Records. The band has received a lot of praises from all the music places, including NME, Pitchfork, NPR and Spin.

Since the band is on tour, you can get a taste of their life on the road via Andy Capper's documentary "Light Up Gold Road Trip" on vice.com.

Hear "Stoned and Starving" now:

Go see them live to see what the buzz is about.
