We get wild, wild, wild

LADYHAWKE

We’re massive Ladyhawke (aka Pip Brown) fans, having been lucky enough to catch her in September 2009 when she was touring in support of her debut album.

Ladyhawke is back with her third studio album Wild Things set for release on June 3 via Polyvinyl Records. If you can’t wait to hear it – the good news is that if you buy it on 180-Gram Yellow vinyl or CD, directly from Polyvinyl, you’ll get an instant download of the entire album.

National US Spring Tour!

LYDIA

Arizona’s Lydia is currently on tour with electro-pop/post-hardcore band Pvris. You may remember that the band was previously in town last October 2015 in support of their album Run Wild (8123 Records).

If you missed them last Rocktober, catch them with Pvris, Cruisr, and Polyenso, at Mill City Nights in Minneapolis on Tuesday, May 31st.
A few tickets are still available for this show, but they are going fast.

WILD SUN

Rhode Island’s alt-rock trio Wild Sun is gearing up for upcoming Elliott Smith Tribute Album, titled Say Yes featuring Amanda Palmer, Waxahatchee, Jesu/Sun Kil Moon, J Mascis and more…. The record will come out October 14, 2016.

Wild Sun’s singer Glenn Kendzia added, “The Elliott Smith tribute album is a huge honor to be a part of. Elliott is one of my favorite songwriters ever, and his writing is extremely influential to me in his candor and honesty. The song we covered, ‘Easy Way Out,’ is one of those songs that hit me so hard the first time I heard it, that I listened over and over to it and believed it was somehow written for exactly how I felt at the time I first heard it. I never shook that relationship with the song, and when we we’re asked to be a part of this album, that song was the one I had to do.”

Wild Sun is working on their sophomore album, taking a break to play a few festivals, including Northside Festival in Brooklyn this June and opening for The Wombats on Friday, August 12 as part of Providence’s summer concert series, sponsored by WBRU and Dunkin Donuts.
