Area Shows

I'll be out of town for a few days, but that doesn't mean you should miss out on some great DC shows. Tomorrow night (June 1 - Happy Birthday, Whitney Havice!) Black Cat has locals Nethers opening up for The Comas and The Broken West.

Not a rare occurrence with Black Cat, the venue hosts a second night of great music this weekend on Saturday (June 2) with Monster Bobby, Smoosh, and The Pipettes.

Smoosh - I Would Go
The Pipettes - Judy (Blue States Mix)
On Tuesday night (June 5) DC9 will have Locksley, a group you should definitely check out if you enjoy bands like The Strokes.

Locksley - The Past And The Present

Sea Wolf

CocoRosie

New York, NY
Although several reviews I've seen about the latest from CocoRosie have torn it to all hell, I really enjoy most of it. I'm certain that this track will remain one of my favorites for the year.

Coyote Bones - Living Breathing Demons

The Concretes

Stockholm, Sweden
EDIT: (In response to the comment "How about a little information on the song? New, old??")

This track is from the latest album from The Concretes. Hey Trouble is only available right now as an import from the label Licking Fingers. It marks the first release for the band since the 2006 departure of lead singer Victoria Bergsman (also known for her contribution to "Young Folks"), who is putting out her first solo record next month. Even though Victoria contributed distinctive vocals to The Concretes, I think their latest effort is just as solid as their previous.

The Phoenix And The Turtle

Yucaipa, CA

I am officially smitten over Phoenix And The Turtle. I highly recommend this fantastic Cali quartet if you like bands like Ra Ra Riot or Arcade Fire or any other band that makes great use of those stringy paddle things.

"Disco Funeral"
Phoenix And The Turtle on MySpace
Phoenix And The Turtle on The Hype Machine

The Corto Maltese

Austin, TX
If you enjoy Wolf Parade, you can now adore The Corto Maltese. This sweet little demos EP I have from the guys is doing nothing but making me crave a full-length.

"Providence"
The Corto Maltese on MySpace
The Corto Maltese on The Hype Machine

Mussels

Brooklyn, NY
Little Voices from Mussels is one of the best debut albums this year. I love it more and more with every listen.

"Cannon On A Clothesline

Dandelion Gum from Black Moth Super Rainbow is a collection of eclectic psyche pop - definitely not one to miss out on!

Rondo Brothers

San Francisco, CA
I suggest Rondo Brothers for anyone who is feeling groovy...

"Crazed"
Rondo Brothers on MySpace

tonight: The Rosebuds

I guarantee that Night Of The Furies from The Rosebuds will be in my top five albums at the end of this year. Tonight they're at The Rock & Roll Hotel in DC - doors 8pm, show 9pm. Bowerbirds and Le Loup (who I hear are amazing live) are opening.

The National

Brooklyn, NY
I really came in to the game late with Alligator two years ago. However, I'm all over The National in '07, and I'm fairly certain that Boxer is my favorite album thus far.

"Apartment Story"

Pale Young Gentlemen

Madison, WI
Pale Young Gentlemen are damn good, and I'm not certain why more people aren't talking about them. Here's the best band you don't know about. Spread the word!

"Fraulein"
Pale Young Gentlemen on MySpace
Pale Young Gentlemen on The Hype Machine

The Playing Fields on The Hype Machine

Let's Go Sailing

Los Angeles, CA

"Heart Condition"
Let's Go Sailing on MySpace
Let's Go Sailing on The Hype Machine

City-State

Washington, DC
Swirling guitars and eerily beautiful vocals make for a near perfect full-length for this DC band. Monument easily puts City-State in the same league as their district mates Cedars. Expect to hear a lot more from these guys!

"Mary"
City-State on MySpace
City-State on The Hype Machine

"Dead Kid Kicks"
The Muggabears on MySpace
The Muggabears on The Hype Machine

Bears

Columbus, OH
And here's another bears band that has put out a great EP! Charlie and Craig of Bears have said that the music on Shortest Day Of The Year is quite different from the songs on their debut full-length. However, I think it'll find a warm welcome in anyone's heart.

"All I"
Bears on MySpace
Bears on The Hype Machine

Tim Myers

Los Angeles, CA
Tim Myers is one of the latest artists to celebrate the inclusion of his music on Grey's Anatomy, as his track "Momma's Boy" was recently featured on the show. Here's one of my favorites that is yet to be officially released.

If you still haven't checked out Charlotte Martin, what is your problem?! Stromata was my favorite record from a solo female artist last year, and now she's graced us with a DVD of live material plus a bonus CD of b sides, including an alternate version of "Four Walls" and seven other tracks worthy of being on a proper release.

See the video for "Stromata" below...
