Lady Lamb the Beekeeper

I’d never heard of Lady Lamb the Beekeeper when I was asked to cover her forthcoming show in Chicago, so I threw on her debut album Ripely Pine to see what the fuss was about. …


TYPHOON

wearetyphoon.com

Who’s ready to see an 11 piece band Typhoon from the beautiful state of Oregon? It’s almost as if an entire orchestra combined with your basic indie rock band. They have a little bit of a Frightened Rabbit sound to them for those of you who need a larger to band to compare, try Arcade Fire. Lead singer Kyle Morton has a very distinct voice that should have everyone wanting to catch a performance.

Typhoon’s fourth release White Lighter is one of 2013’s top releases, and is truly a complete album. This orchestra size act adds so many layers into their songs with a great blend of all the instrumentation.

If you’re looking for one song to enjoy listen to “Young Fathers”.

Pixies

As I have previously mention, the Pixies are discovering a new life in touring and serving their existing aging fans. I don’t know if they have a new album out, it’s all very cryptic right now …
PIXIES

pixiesmusic.com



Last month, Pixies released a brand new music video overnight to accompany the song “Greens and Blues” from the band’s EP-2, which came out January 3rd. You can watch the video on youtube.com.



The “Greens and Blues” video was written and directed by Josh Frank, who also wrote the book Fool The World, the Oral History of the Band Called Pixies. Frank explained why he chose that song to work on: “I chose ‘Greens and Blues’ specifically because it touched me and spoke to me, from the moment I first heard it. It had that power and emotion I remember from when I heard Bossanova for the first time in high school, that immediate connection, that very personal moment with a band you love where the song feels like it is speaking just to you. ‘Greens and Blues’ also feels important, iconic, and timeless like all great Pixies songs.”
