Friday | June 26 | One Eyed Jacks

Look for this triple threat of indie rockness Friday, June 26 at One Eyed Jacks.

Silent Cinema

"They continue to produce an atmospheric wall of sound that is reminiscent of the Canadian indie supergroup Broken Social Scene. Displaying a variety of influences and genres, their wild, sprawling song structures suggest a controlled recklessness kept together by the consistent playing of each band member. Silent Cinema proves itself as New Orleans' next up-and-coming/already here band." - Where Y'at

The White Bitch

“It’s hard to imagine what a collaboration between Prince, Jeff Buckely, and Shudder To Think would sound like, but then again, maybe you’ve never heard of The White Bitch” – Where Y’at

Felix
Felix formed in January 2008 when Blind Texas Marlin (solo folk/country project) and classical/jazz pianist Fabrizio Felipe Furtado III met and started playing together. The duo became even weirder when Big Toe, a punk-rock drummer, was added into the mix. Felix just came home from touring literally every part of the country but still claims that "New Orleans is better than the rest of the country put together". - Resources: antigravity and MySpace

Can't wait for Friday and to see you all there.

Also! Be sure to listen to WTUL on Friday, June 26 for a special acoustic set and interview with one of the bands. We'll keep you posted....

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

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.
