Robots ARE Mean.

"On their first compilation, Rock Beats Paper, the New Orleans Indie Rock Collective showed that there was more bounding around the streets of the Crescent City than the sounds of brass and funk. This time around, the organization reaches further into the burgeoning Big Easy indie scene to uncover the bands that are steadily shaking up its musical landscape. Like its predecessor, Robots Are Meanfeatures two songs from each of the acts showcased at the NOIRC’s most recent festival. While appreciably less vibrant than Rock, Robots are Mean is assuredly more brazen, giving it an edgier, less refined subtext." - Offbeat

Floating Action = satisfaction

NOIRC and Park the Van Records are presenting a mad crazy good show on Friday, June 12 at Marigny Theatre. This will be Park the Van's first showcase in New Orleans and will include some great indie bands you might want to start listening to...

The Peekers, Generationals, The High Strung, and Floating Action.

Here's a couple more tid-bits about Floating Action to get you pumped, inspired, and antsy for the show.

1. Floating Action is the first and only Park The Van band signed by sending a demo in the mail. 
2. Floating Action was hand picked to support both Band of Horses and Dr. Dog on separate tours last year.

3. Floating Action's Seth Kauffman has great cell phone reception. Often when called, Seth can be found scaling mountains, swimming in waterfalls, or feeding hummingbirds. 

Listen to them on myspace and decide for yourselves.

But be cyber stellar and Tweet with us and RsVp to the Facebook event.

And so it begins...

So we finally broke down and did it. We started a blog. What better way is there for us to keep all of you update on what is going on around town, in the music scene nationally, and of course with us.

So keep your eyes glued here for everything from album reviews of both local and national releases, upcoming show announcements and general happenings of the New Orleans indie rock scene.

We are going to start by posting some old reviews we wrote, but didn't have a good way to present them. Expect much more to come soon.
