Open your ears to Sun Hotel . Now.

I develop a fondness for a lot of the bands in the scene. Caddywhompus is incredible and the loudest smallest band you'll ever see. Giant Cloud has that oh-so-good Peekers sound that I can't ever get enough of. And Loren Murrell, Silent Cinema, and MyNameIsJohnMichael always make me melt. But the band currently on my radar is one I plan on paying a lot more attention to.

Sun Hotel is definitely worth the listen. They are a local indie band with a lot of acoustic goodness, interesting and somewhat soothing vocal interludes and some catchy lyrics..... Please class them amongst the new and good in the local scene and start taking notice. 

Check them in space: http://www.myspace.com/sunhotelsounds

Check them out for real: Sunday, October 25 @ Allways Lounge/ Marigny Theatre in support of the NOLA Project's latest theatre production, Finer Noble Gases. NOIR Collective presents! Come support!

Kevin Spacey!

Word on the street is that last night, Loren Murrell and Micah McKee from Silent Cinema put on a crazy good show for Kevin Spacey at The Saint last night..........

Kevin Spacey hanging with the New Orleans hipsters? cool.

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.
Friday June 26 | One Eyed Jacks | 9pm | 18+ | $5
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....
