Gig of the Week -
Beach Fossils – Beach Fossils
Beach Fossils release their eponymous debut through label of the moment, Captured Tracks, on June 1st. It’s set to be one of our most played records of the summer and probably far beyond. Beautiful lo-fi guitar pop songs that echo with nostalgia and yearn for landscapes far more open than the Brooklyn apartment in which once one man band Dustin Payseur wrote them.
For Fans Of: Kurt Vile, Wild Nothing, Felt. // more

Smith Westerns @ Camp Basement June 14th
What? Upset the Rhythm presents Smith Westerns, a bunch of teens from Chicago who make gorgeous low-fi glam meets garage rock tunes the likes of which you won’t have heard in a while. Their self titled 2009 debut was our number two album of the year and there’s a follow up due out this year through their new label Fat Possum. There’s a swagger to these kids that you’re going to want to check out first hand.
For Fans Of: T-Rex, Magic Kids, Thee Oh Sees. // more

Tune Yards (5 Piece Band) @ Scala, June 23rd.
What? Merrill Garbus or Tune Yards is one hell of a talented lady from New England who combines elements of reggae, r’n'b and animal collective esque campfire singalongs, held together by her unique and powerful voice. Her 2009 album Bird Brains was one of the finest debuts of the past five years or so. Usually performed live with two people and loop pedals, this will be a special one off show with a 5 Piece band at the epic Scala in Kings Cross.
For Fans Of: Animal Collective, Lykke Li, CocoRosie. // more
