  Thank you Heavy Boots for letting me know these videos exist.  I’ve probably listened to her EP more often than any other album on tour.  So good.  She’s in a rock band called Witches now.  They played the Fest last year but that’s the last I’ve heard from them. + Shimmering Thing + Good Ones [...]

  Balance and Composure – Burden & I can’t do this Alone

  03.14.11 | Permalink | Comment?

  This past weekend Pianos had the pleasure of playing a show with Make Do and Mend and Balance and Composure.  I love both of those bands so it was great to see them both in the same night and even better to be able to share a stage with them.  Unfortunately the MDAM videos turned [...]

  On May 14, Fairweather will be playing a reunion show at the Black Cat in D.C. Fairweather’s Lusitania is one of my favorite records so I’m really excited to see those songs live again.  I remember laying in bed during my freshman year of college and listening to that album from front to back each night [...]

  We played a show last night in New Haven, Connecticut in celebration of My Heart to Joy‘s album release.  It was also their second to last show so it was nice to get to play with them one last time before they break up. The World is a Beautiful Place and I am no longer [...]

  The Avett Brothers – Head full of doubt/Road full of promise

  Let’s take a second to appreciate how much time and effort were put in to making this video.  2600 paintings compiled in to one music video. First watch the video. There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right And it comes in [...]

  End of a Year (Self Defense Family)

  01.05.11 | Permalink | Comment?

  I stumbled upon End of a Year‘s blog and ended up reading through all of their entries.  Each post is like a mini editorial informing, poking fun or complaining (usually all 3) about some aspect of the indie/hardcore music scene and the subculture that has risen around it. I especially like these videos where they [...]

  Sorry for the lack of any regularity in updating as of late.  Life’s getting in my way. For the past two years I’ve been doing an end of the year round up of my favorite record releases.  A top 10 if you will.  Last year I invited a few friends to send me in their [...]

  Koji – Minute Eight

  Bringing a video camera along on tour is bittersweet.  You’re torn between capturing the performance on tape or experiencing it without a viewfinder in front of your face.  Making that decision is difficult to do some times. Koji covered Wagon Wheel by Bob Dylan/Old Crow Medicine Show at a venue in South Carolina and had [...]
