Fairy Bones Unleash Dramabot!
Posted on January 29, 2015 | 1 CommentIn late 2013 Fairy Bones announced they were working on a full length album expected to be released the following year. I couldn’t have been more thrilled since Fairy Bones were my favorite debut of that year bar none and so their full length debut album became my most highly anticipated record of 2014. Except that it didn’t get released last year, the band wanted to take their time writing and recording it, making it perfect in every way, they even held a magnificently successful crowdfunding campaign to complete the recording and production. I had started to think it was... -
Other Favorite Live Bands 2014
Posted on January 21, 2015 | No CommentsI probably should have done this in the reverse order. I wanted to give the following nine bands honorable mentions, because they made life great last year. Instead, I announced Field Tripp as the favorite instead of mentioning the others and there are still more honorable mentions I could think of (like 20 or 30 more), but these were bands that I either continually saw again and again or would go way the hell out of my way to see in 2014. I chose them in the most rational sense I made list straight off the top of my head,... -
Fairy Bones Need Your Money!!!
Posted on August 15, 2014 | No CommentsAnyone that has read my ramblings for the last couple years must realize that Fairy Bones is one of my favorites band around town. They were my favorite debut band of last year bar none and in fact if I go to long without seeing them, I experience “Fairy Bones Withdrawal.” Well, now Fairy Bones need your money so that you can have more music, which seems like a good exchange to me–they want to release Dramabot, their first full length album and they need your help to do it. They started this campaign on July 10th and it... -
ShowsAroundTown: Every Other Night…
Posted on February 27, 2014 | 1 CommentSome people seem to think I go out every night, which I don’t–some weeks I don’t go out at all. Others think that it would be my dream to go see bands every night, which it’s not–it often takes every fiber of my soul to get out and go see the shows I do catch and if I went out every night I would get seriously overloaded, hell I’m overloaded as it is. Lately, I’ve been either going out to specifically catch new talent, get new records (or cassettes), or see a show that I know is going to be... -
Midnight Vitals Return!
Posted on September 21, 2013 | No CommentsI had actually forgotten for a moment how much I love Midnight Vitals, I know, it’s a terrible thing to say, but it was only for a moment. So when I got an advance copy of their brand new EP last Spring, I immediately had to dig out their Time To Go EP—something I missed out writing on, because I was about a year too late and got to re-immerse myself in their special brand of pure power pop with synthesizer flourishes. Well, as much as I liked their debut, in listening to equal matches of that and their new... -
“Like, Like” by Fairy Bones – Tuesday’s Tune
Posted on September 17, 2013 | 1 CommentThere have been a lot of great artistic debuts in the Valley of the Sun this year, hell, I could probably do a top ten list right now. Then again, I could do a top ten list of bands that have abandoned the valley or broken up or joined the Federal witness relocation program…so the world of music gives and takes in balance I suppose. One of my favorite debuts of 2013 is, without a doubt, Fairy Bones. One of four bands born from the ashes of Born Loser and The Hangers On (Sister Lip, Naked Pizza and Head are...
