The National: add some select Spring dates

One of my personal favorites, The National have just announced that they will be embarking on a brief US/Canadian tour this coming May, which will include the band showcasing some new material they have been working on. The group who's tour schedule was relentless ever since their fantastic disc, Boxer dropped in early 2007, recently took a break at years end to head into the studio to start work on the follow up.
If you can't wait until May to hear some new tunes from the band, then you can pick up the charity compilation 'Dark Was The Night' this Tuesday, that guitarists Aaron & Bryce Dessner produced for the Red Hot Organization. The disc has an all star line-up of indie artists, but also features a new National track, as well as a new song featuring Aaron with Bon Iver. Also, if you live in the New York City area, you can catch the side project Clogs, which features Bryce and Aaron along with special guest vocalists, joining the Bell Orchestre (which features members of Arcade Fire) and the Brooklyn Philharmonic on Thursday Feb. 26th at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

The Damnwells: Free Album download

The Alex Dezen led project, known as The Damnwells, have offered up their latest CD, One Last Century for free via a special offer over at Paste Magazine. The band which has had some line-up re-shuffling, has been quiet for the past several years since 2006's 'Air Stereo'. The reason for the free download according to Dezen goes like this ..." I suppose the hardest thing to explain to people is why I’m giving this record away".... later adding ...“I have never worked so hard or put so much of myself into a collection of recorded songs. It is for just this reason that I want to give it away. To me it makes perfect sense. I just want people to hear this music, and I don’t want them to have to enter into some kind of contractual agreement with a third party to do so.

Just go to www.pastemagazine.com/thedamnwells and you can download the record for free.

The Damnwells tour dates:
Feb 20 2009 8:00P The Englert Theater Iowa City
Mar 18 2009 5:00P Threadgills(South Store) Austin, TX

Dan Auerbach- Live version "Trouble Weighs a Ton"

Just yesterday, Black Keys singer Dan Aurbach dropped his first solo effort, Keep it Hid on Nonesuch Records. With the Black Keys and now with his solo work it's always been clear that the blues played a heavy influence on his work. You can catch on record and in this recent video one of the main sources of that inspiration, his uncle, James Quine (who Dan credits for teaching him how to sing and play guitar). Auerbach & Quine sit down to play a track off the disc, “Trouble Weighs a Ton,” in Dan’s Akron, OH studio, which happens to also be where he produced Jessica Lea Mayfield’s record and also for the band Hacienda, who will be Dan’s backing band on his upcoming tour.

new music: My Jerusalem

I first became aware of singer-songwriter Jeff Klein back in '05 when I found out that his LP, The Hustler was being produced by one of my personal favorites, Greg Dulli (Twilight Singers, Afghan Whigs, Gutter Twins). Jeff went on to later back some of those Dulli fronted projects, such as the Twilight Singers on their recent tours. Klein is now branching out with a new project of his own, My Jerusalem. The group is headed by Klein, and is a collaboration of artists and close friends that he's worked with in the past, which includes, guitarist Dave Rosser (Twilight Singers), bassist Ashley Dzerigian (Great Northern), drummer Cully Symington (Bishop Allen, Gutter Twins), and multi-instrumentalist Rick Nelson (of The Polyphonic Spree and St. Vincent). The band will be releasing their debut EP, Without Feathers, this March 10th on 00:02:59 Records. You can preview the new track "Sweet Chariot" over on My Jerusalem's myspace page, as well as two other songs not listed on the EP.

Camera Obscura: sign to new label

Before we had Scottish favorites like Frightened Rabbit or The Twilight Sad, there was a little indie band from Glasgow called, Camera Obscura. The band who has been around since the mid 90's, was last heard from back in 2006, with their LP Let's Get Out of This Country. The band just announced that they have been signed on with the label 4AD, who's impressive roster includes, TV on The Radio, The National, and Blonde Redhead to name a few. No details have been made available yet as to a new release, except to say that there should be something by years end.

The Hold Steady: Releasing Doumentary & Live CD

One of America's hardest working rock bands, The Hold Steady, will be hitting stores this coming April 7th with a new Documentary DVD/ Live CD called A Positive Rage.

As far as the live album goes, it was taken from a set in Chicago in '07, and features 17 songs, as well as 5 bonus tracks.

The Wooden Birds- New album & label

Andrew Kenny, formerly of the American Analog Set, is readying his latest project, The Wooden Birds. The bands first album, Magnolia, will be released this Spring on Barsuk Records, whom the band just signed on with. In Europe the LP will get released on Morr Music. According to Barsuk ..."Fans of AmAnSet will recognize Kenny's voice and songwriting immediately, but the arrangements on Magnolia are more vocal and percussion-heavy than anything he's done before."
Kenny, who originally grew up in Texas and later moved to Brooklyn, has returned to Austin, TX for The Wooden Birds project. Kenny has made guest appearances on albums by, the Album Leaf, Her Space Holiday, Styrofoam, and most recently the Broken Social Scene.
The Wooden Birds will be touring throughout the year, and will be making an appearance at South By Southwest this coming March.

We all know there are a ton of NYC & Brooklyn based bands that get over hyped. Here's one band that we think hasn't gotten enough play though from the hype machine, the NYC indie four piece Pela.
