I try to stay on top of the music world, at least from my point of view, as thoroughly as possible. But I freely admit, sometimes the music scene gets carried away, and will unleash more stuff than I can keep track of, or have time for. It's not exactly hard work to keep a music blog up, but when one has to maintain a professional/social/family life as well, I must admit, sometimes I can't report everything to thee avid readers.
But don't fret, my friends! That loud engine is the sound of the renowned Voilà! Music Omnibus! Take a ride on our little transit system, reader, as we drive you down the streets of the music scene; a scenic tour for your eager ears of the little happenings here and there, or the mentionings that weren't mentioned. Be it band break ups, pre-album gossip, new songs, or new tours, you can find it all. Get your change together - we only accept CD and MP3, because sadly vinyl doesn't fit into our coin box. Here we go!
Open Wide!
Mount Righteous' New Album On The Way
Long, long, it's been so long. It's been nearly two years since Mount Righteous stepped cheerfully onto the scene with their debut album, When The Music Starts. What followed were escapades of rampant frivolity across the world, with everyone dancing, and clapping, and singing of smiles and candy and love. Well gird your loins, fellow friends, because it's my esteemed privilege to let you know that the new album, Open Your Mouth, by Mount Righteous is set for release this coming Friday! For those North Texas natives, there will be a big CD release party which you can find out more about on Mount Righteous' Facebook. But for everyone else, you can download their single "Sing To Me, Tiffany" from an article in The Dallas Observer, or just wander over to Mount Righteous' Myspace.
I Am Trying To Figure Who I Am
New Things avec Nevershoutnever!
That crazy kid, Christofer Drew, has been up to his kooky antics again (as usual). What do I mean by that? Well, probably that he's just so infinitely busy I don't know how he manages to find so much time to be so dang cheerful and live such an awesome life! Firstly, he's been dabbling with his less cute, more crazy side, whilst working on new music for his side project Eatmewhileimhot. Secondly, he's been finishing up works on a new, full length Nevershoutnever! album, which has apparently been completed (we can only wait patiently now)! Finally, he's hitting the road next week for a massive autumnal tour with friends Now Now Every Children and Meg & Dia. Hustle over to Nevershoutnever's Myspace for the rest of the news!
Getting The Axes Out
Eisley Teases Us With Tours And EPs
Now, it's been quite awhile since the world was graced by the material of the lovely band from Tyler, Texas. They've been on tour recently, but since the release of Combinations two years ago, Eisley has been busy out of the music world, living life, getting engaged, and the like. Sometime around the beginning of the year, they announced they would be wandering into the studio. Promises kept! Eisley's new album won't be out until early 2010, but they seek to recompense the wait! Eisley's launching on a very hefty North American tour, where they'll be releasing a special tour EP (with a free lithograph!)! Find out the info on Trolleywood, or just wander over to their Myspace.
Talking On The Fanfarlophone
Fanfarlo Busy With Tours and Videos
Our good friends at Fanfarlo certainly haven't been resting on their laurels lately. Their biggest project over the last several months has been solidifying the production of their debut album, Reservoir, in physical form (the woes of making records completely independent, without labels). Done done done it is, and it's going to be quite sleek. The physical copies of Fanfarlo's Reservoir are for sale out on their website. But if you're lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, you can catch Fanfarlo on their US tour, going on presently! They have hit up the west coast, with dates in Philadelphia and New York City. If you're even luckier, you can catch Fanfarlo on their British tour as soon as they get back to their island home. For those of us not so lucky, may I recommend checking out their website - filled with all the Fanfarlo you could ever desire - their YouTube - filled with brand new videos of "The Walls Are Coming Down," acoustic sets, and covers - or wander right over to their Myspace.
Pushing Daisies
Brand New Brand New Album
Where to even begin. Some things are easy to describe, and some things are so abstract, it's as if there is no logical point of origin. This would be the latter. Brand New is getting famous for taking hiatuses, disappearing from the music scene while crafting new music. While lately, they've been touring around much more than the period after Deja Entendu, they remain a very mysterious ensemble. Now, three years after The Devil and God Rages Inside Me, Brand New is releasing their fourth studio album, Daisy. It's EPIC, in the layman's terms. Daisy will be officially on sale September 22, but if you've been eagerly waiting for a release such as this, then you'll want to head to Brand New's Myspace. Brand New is streaming Daisy in its entirety until the release. You're still reading? Go listen to Brand New ASAP!
