When I heard the name Andy Gonzalez (ex-Of Montreal, The Music Tapes) I had one thing in mind before I even listened to the song. But, put your pretense aside, as the music you’ll hear form hisMarshmallow Coast has a lot more in common with early Death Cab or Pinback. There’s a calming vocal touch,… Continue reading Marshmallow Coast at Austin Town Hall

Sleaford Mods at Austin Town Hall
If you didn’t get your hands on last year’s Divide and Exit LP from the Sleaford Mods, then perhaps you missed the boat.

Emotional Response at Austin Town Hall
There’s a bit of a staggering stutter that comes to the guitar work in the opening moments of this new single from Boyracer. It should come as no surprise as the band’s been releasing catchy pop tunes for their 20+ career…landing on labels like Slumberland and Sarah Records.

Our friend over at IPSML hit this track before us, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t give it some much deserved attention.

There’s not a lot of information,… Continue reading Luxembourg Signal at Austin Town Hall
