August 2010: The Beat of the Heat
Greetings, We are sweating it out in the thick of August's dog days; beating the heat and keeping it cool with new releases, releasing toxins, invention, ice, re-invention, and spending time with our amazing new intern. We're pruning some brittle leaves and watering our metaphors. Here's the short version of what's been keeping us busy working for your music habit:
| SOARS Soars hails from PA's Lehigh Valley and is comprised of four members of LV Illuminati, including Dave from GSGA. They come on with the presence of a tenured band from 4AD's finest hour; think a vamped-up Cocteau Twins, or an industrialized My Bloody Valentine. They'll be playing a handful of dates this summer, beginning August 10th in Pittsburgh, and extending to their record release show in Brooklyn on October 1st. There's a free download of the single "Throw Yourself Apart" on our media page. And if you are inclined to sign up for our email newsletter at the top of the page, you'll receive the next single, "Ditches". |

COLUMBOID Columboid is a band from Brooklyn consisting of ex and current: Vaz, Holy Fallout, Coyote, Lewis & Clarke, Man Man.....get the picture? Neither do we. But we get Columboid. We got them and signed them on the dotted line with a needle and thread dipped in gold paint and pigeon blood. They also come over for soup from time to time. Their new album will drop with the falling snow, it's called We Were One. Keep your ears open for it, and in the meantime, feel free to click on the crystal player and check the shows page to get your mind blown. |
| LEWIS & CLARKE Lewis & Clarke is at work with a new album. There was recently much disclosure in this interesting interview with Stereosubversion.com dicussing the process and inspiration (among other things). L & C has a new facebook page up, as the old one disappeared into the ether. There's sure to be some documentation of the recording process there along with potential connectivity of all sorts. Also of note, L & C contributed a track to Manimal Vinyl's Bowie Tribute, We Were So Turned On. More on this soon. |

| Lewis & Clarke Encore
performance on Daytrotter Last summer, while on tour with Caroline Weeks and Corridor, Lou Rogai and Co. visited the Daytrotter studios in Rock Island, IL . The result was this stunning live session. For those of you unfamiliar with Daytrotter, it's an amazing phenomenon. It's a beacon, if you will, for touring artists to stop in and perform a live set at their prime, in the midst of sleepless nights and bad road food. Daytrotter captures the magic and broadcasts it online with an accompanying article. L & C performs new versions of our favorites. Stream it, download it, enjoy! Check the shows page for news of both rural and urban upcoming L & C performances. |

| Judson Claiborne - Release
Show - Album Pre-Order Judson Claiborne and friends will celebrate the release of Time and Temperature at The Hideout in their hometown of Chicago on March 5, 2010. Join us for an evening of revelry! The distant melancholy familiar to listeners of Low Skies (Judson's previous band) has grown into emerging layers of song in the tradition of troubadours, journeymen, country-western stars and master-less wanderers. The roots of country and folk are palatable, but a very modern sense of uncertainty drains any refuge taken from the dusty nostalgia of lost eras. Time and Temperature is the finest blend of Indie Folk with progressive abandon, as the ghosts of the Great Ones smile upon on Judson Claiborne with a nod and a wink. Do yourself a solid and pre-order the LP (ltd. edition colored vinyl) or CD. Pre- orders will ship by April 1, 2010. |
