Sweden’s Starlet Recording A New Album

Starlet

Hanging on the wall in my living room are six album covers and the one closest to my leather rocking chair – where I write the majority of the items I post on FensePost – is Starlet‘s Stay On My Side from 1999. Songs like “At Least In My Heart” and “In The Disco” were the soundtrack to my summer of 2006, along with the title track off When The Sun Falls On My Feet, their 2002 follow-up. The latest news is that the Starlet crew is back after what, in my opinion, has been a far-too-long hiatus. Read More »Sweden’s Starlet Recording A New Album

The Get Up Kids Visit Daytrotter

The Get Up Kids

This bit of news may be slightly old, as the session went up last week, but I’m just now catching up on my Daytrotter-ing and it seemed fitting. Coincidence: earlier this month I was scrounging around on eBay looking to see how much that vinyl copy of Eudora would go for (just an estimate, not because I want to sell it – don’t you do that will your records too?), and I wondered if The Get Up Kids would give us anything new soon. Of course, they regrouped and played a live set in Lawrence last March, and this Daytrotter session is our first peek at some of the new tunes they put together over the summer.

Beardo Tours The West Coast

beardo

Were you one of those who became disillusioned with The Beastie Boys when they went all mainstream? Do you long for those early beats, those songs that originally blew them off the map? Well look no further than Beardo, whose LA-based pseudo hip-hop will take you back a few years while keeping you steadfast in the world of today. His wild beats are heading our way (for those of you on the West Coast) and you can catch him as he struts through town in support of his self-titled LP, although not with Snoop Dogg this time. Check the dates, and hear the sweet hit “John Lennon” below. Read More »Beardo Tours The West Coast

Hoots And Hellmouth And Your WC Town

hoots-and-hellmouth

Philadelphia’s soulful folk masters Hoots And Hellmouth are set to visit a West Coast town near you this week! The band is on the road in support of their recent LP, The Holy Open Secret, out now on MAD Dragon Records (the same folks that just released Swimmers‘ album). Tonight they hit LA after which they will make their way up the coast to Seattle before heading east. Read More »Hoots And Hellmouth And Your WC Town

Vandaveer To Tour The West Next Month

vandaveer

In support of their new LP, Divide & Conquer, Vandaveer is hitting the road. They’ve got a full plate of shows booked throughout the west coast and beyond. Coupled with the lustrous vocals of Rose Guerin, Vandaveer’s Mark Charles Heidinger puts forth an impressive display of true folk-pop. These songs disseminate beauty and purity; songs you will not want to miss in an intimate live setting. Read More »Vandaveer To Tour The West Next Month

Sin Fang Bous to Tour the Northwest with Múm

Sin Fang Bous

When it comes to music, Iceland is known to be a little out there. Experimentation is nothing new, and the country’s own Sin Fang Bous is no different. The solo project of Sindri Mar Sigfusson, Sin Fang Bous’ debut experimental pop album, Clangour, deserves great praise. A fascinating thing it would be to catch Sigfusson live, and that’s exactly what you here in the Pacific Northwest can do as November dawns on us. Sin Fang Bous is hitting the states with Icelandic pals Múm, who are coming here to support their new record, Sing Along To Songs You Don’t Know.

Viva Radio Releases Massive Digital Comp ‘Best Of Me + You Vol. 1’

Deer Tick at Viva Radio

Viva Radio is one of the premier internet radio stations and to develop additional support, they’re giving us a pretty extensive and comprehensive compilation dubbed Best Of Me + You and featuring a total of 57 tracks. Granted, some of the tracks are station IDs and band interviews from the various groups on the comp, but that still leaves a solid quantity of songs from a who’s who collection of indie artists. And, to top it all, each song is an exclusive live take from Viva Radio’s Me + You. Read More »Viva Radio Releases Massive Digital Comp ‘Best Of Me + You Vol. 1’

Avi Buffalo Signs to Sub Pop

avi_buffalo

Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg is a name I cannot easily pronounce, so I’m glad this young songwriter from Long Beach has chosen to go by the moniker Avi Buffalo. The 18-year-old Avigdor has made music under this guise for three years and with a few shows under the belt, expanded the project to a full-on group. With Aaron Embry at the production wheel, Avi Buffalo began recording their first record. More stuf happened… you know, this and that… and then Sub Pop came into the picture. For realsies.

EELS Announce Tracklist for New Abum ‘End Times’

eels

I’ve only begun to absorb EELS‘ last album, Hombre Lobo. It’s pretty good, I tell you; got that gritty edgy pop/rock sound familiar to the Southwest, and even bits of Texas (I’m thinking about you, Austin). Well the latest tidbit to come from the band is that they’re gonna drop a new album, their eighth studio release – and that the new album will hit stores January 19! That date is well under one year after the release of Hombre Lobo. Today they announced the tracklist and dropped in the cover art as well. See it beyond the fold… Read More »EELS Announce Tracklist for New Abum ‘End Times’

The Fenbi International Superstars Visit Seattle

fenbi_international_superstars

What is a band of Irish/worldly gypsy storytellers to do when they reside in one of most musician filled small cities in the world? Well, you probably need to be creative in your displays of talent. And The Fenbi International Superstars have been doing just that in Portland for some time. Their live shows are unparalleled to the often drowsy and depressing rain-based tunes you are likely to hear on any corner of the home for fugitives and refugees. Unlike your average roselander musicians (though each member is not scared to rep Port Townsend as well), these guys are fun! And many fans would attest to the fact that these worldly artists have conquered their hometown. So what’s next you say? Well, obviously that would have to be the Emerald City.
