Neon Indian is fronted by twenty-one year old, Mexican born, Texas raised Alan Palomo of VEGA. “A gauzy combination of Buggles-style 1980s pop, video game soundtracks, and cheeseball elevator music, Neon Indian songs like “Deadbeat Summer” . . . are effervescent, goofy, and achingly nostalgic. Kind of like MGMT on a ramen budget-- and with less face paint.”  Pitchfork.com.  The project – which includes a visual component created by artist Alicia Scardetta – gained steam earlier this year when their single “Terminally Chill” was the number one track on the music blog aggregator Elbo.ws.  Praise from members of Grizzly Bear (who shared a bill with Mr. Palomo/VEGA this summer at the JellyNYC Pool Party) has further heightened the enthusiasm leading up to the release of the band’s debut album, Psychic Chasms -- out October 13^th on Lefse.

ONE TRICK PONY singer Randolph Williams III “has the silkiest, most soothing voice in town and it is a complete mystery to this writer why some major label hasn’t scooped him up and planted a One Trick Pony flag on the KCRW moon.

The Chambersburg, Pennsylvania based Shackeltons are a high energy rock and roll band led by literate, passionate frontman Mark Redding.  The band was named a “Breaking New Artist” by Rolling Stone Magazine and “Best New Artist” by SPIN.  Their self-titled debut (Loveless Records) received four stars in SPIN.  “Scruffy, emotional indie boys you can actually believe in . . . . Palpable desperation is one of rock -n- rolls most valuable commodities, because it's impossible to fake. What makes bands like Pixies, Fugazi, and Les Savy Fav so exciting- and what makes the Shackeltons, from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, similarly thrilling - is a breathlessness, a creeping sense that crouched behind the towering melodies and heard-‘em before razor guitars (think Television, in addition to the aforementioned bands), there's complete breakdown. A half-dozen times on their debut, the Shackeltons sound completely convincing, and that's about six more times than most bands ever manage.”

In April 2009, Eulogies released its debut full-length album Here Anonymous (Dangerbird Records).  Written during a Fall 2007 U.S. tour with Film School, the songs on Here Anonymous are deceivingly simple.

But, like America, it moved west, grew in numbers, got louder, and now teeters between superpowerdom and total collapse.  Singer/composer/beatmaker Hrishikesh Hirway’s songs feature Pizzicato strings and giant, echoing beats alongside his homemade recordings and ghostly vocals.  “Sounding something remotely like the Postal Service meets Elliott Smith, the music is stunningly beautiful...” canyouseethesunset.com

Falling somewhere between the dark Will Sheff stylized Americana of Okkervil River and the twang-pop sensibilities of Rhett Miller and his Old 97’s. . . It is loose and bouncy. It is the edge of rock-n-soul music that is carried by horns, raucous pianos, organs, strings, etc… as well as the whiskey-soaked vocals of singer Aaron Kyle.”  CanYouSeeTheSunset.com.

This Anglo-Swedish band -- now based in Brooklyn -- was invited by Noel Gallagher to open for Oasis on dates on their UK tour.  The pairing makes perfect sense.  "Their mellow, harmony-filled rock nods to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, but has a pop-nous that makes song like "Lucy Rider" and "Hard Breaks" instantly accessible. Following the trend for revisiting unfashionable classic-rock forms, Alberta Cross pull off Fleet Foxes' trick of simultaneously sounding like lost treasure and something fresh and new."  Yorkshire Evening Post.   "The best new band we've seen live this week."  NME

 "As soon as this Philly band started setting up their equipment, it was evident that it was going to be a spectacle. They brought their percussive instruments in a metal garbage can, which they then pummeled with their stomping, flailing psychedelic tunes.
