Los Angelino duo, Hecuba, is churning out tunes that mix Herbert, Hercules & Love Affair, and Hot Chip. Alex, I would like to choose the category, “Bands that start with H”! All we’re missing is Health or Hot Hot Heat for good measure. In even better news, the duo will be supporting Bat for Lashes…

Happy Easter / Feliz Pàscoa !
Peanuts always put a smile on my face, and why not on Easter. For the first time in many years, I will actually be attending an Easter play this morning that brings me back to church after not going for many years. Nothing like some live animals and pyrotechnics to get me back into the…
Yeah Yeah Yeahs on SNL
The group is riding high on the strength of their radio friendly , Zero, and why not? The album is consistent from top to bottom and one of my favorites of the year. I would look for their Summer concert agenda to come very very soon. Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Zero (Erol Alkan Rework) [mp3] Yeah Yeah…
Westword Music Showcase
The headliners have been released for this year’s Westword Music Showcase June 13th. This year may actually be my first ever going. I’m crossing fingers, but I’m always out of town the week they have the doggone thing. Built to Spill, Mudhoney, the Fluid, and Meese. Not bad…. Built to Spill-Goin’ Against Your Mind [mp3]…
Brightblack Morning Light
The Psych-Duo will be in charge of opening duties for My Bloody Valentine here in Denver and Seattle. Should be interesting. I’m wondering if I should drink my peyote now or just smoke it when I get to the Fillmore.

Hot IQ’s R.I.P.
Every week, I get an email notifying me of upcoming concerts and one in particular read, “Hot IQ’s last Bluebird Show”. I thought it was kind of sketch, but didn’t decide to delve any deeper. Westword is reporting that group is dunzo. The trio was a fixture in the Denver scene and will be greatly…
Gregory Alan Isakov
Coloradoan (he’s really from South Africa, but for all intents and purposes, the guy rests his head to sleep here) is exploding with lots of great news. The punk folkie (he style was dubbed punk folk by the Indigo Girls) has a new album on the burner and a tour that starts with his album…
The Decemberists Live from SXSW
NPR shows at SXSW scare me because of the long lines that scatter up and down 6th St. Lucky for you, IFC was on hand to capture the literary magic that is The Decemberists. The Oregonians are on tour as well in support of their latest album, The Hazards of Love. The Decemberists-O’Valencia [mp3] THE…
