Made a visit to the "sweat box" that Modified Arts turns into in the summer, saw Turn Back, O Man for the first time and you can color me "very impressed". They ripped through about eight bluesey/soul/country/good Chris Isaak (Forever Blue) feeling songs that I can't wait to get on some sort of "listen to it again in my car" format. Phoenix was AA Bondy's last stop on a 30 something show tour and even though it was a billion degrees and he looked hella tired he put on a freaking GREAT solo performance with all the feeling of someone that just drove around the country by himself playing in small clubs. My favorite was the foot stomping (literally) ode to all things drugs and liquor jam "Vice Rag". I took a bunch of pics you can check out after the break and check out even MORE on our flickr page by clicking HERE
It's a bit of a slow week for new releases. But who are we kidding? There is only one album being released today that we are interested in. We've been posting about the latest Wilco album for the past several months now and today Wilco (The Album) finally gets released.
Wilco's latest is amazing. I've already listened to the album from start to finish twice this morning and have a feeling this one will be in pretty heavy rotation for a long time. Don't take my word for how amazing this album is, though. If you want to give it a test drive you can head on over to NPR and stream the album in full.
Here are some other new releases this week worth checking out.
We've been really enjoying the latest album from the Dirty Projectors since we got our hands on it a few weeks ago. Here is the the official video for "Stillness is the Move", which is definitely my favorite song off of Bitte Orca.
Fellow Brooklynites (not with us but other people that live in Brooklyn) and chain smokers Paul and the Patients got a new remix for "Blogspot" from their album To The Lions available to download right here on this very website you are reading right now.
One of my favorite local musicians Courtney Marie Andrews has a new album coming out this July and is offering up a free and legal download from the new album. The song "The Buffalo and the Bird" comes off Andrews' new album Painters Hand and Seventh Son which is due July 31st from River Jones Music Label. If you can't wait that long, you can purchase the digital album online at ThinkIndie.
Courtney Marie Andrews is right in the middle of a west coast tour but will be playing July 31st at Modified Arts for the CD release party.
Have you guys heard of The Coathangers yet? Well I have been hearing them on my secret audio preview sources and have grown quite fond of them over the last couple of weeks and have now just gotten around to posting this mp3. I am really sorry about that and I will do my best to be more proactive in posting these types of things in the future. Please don't leave me...I can change I SWEAR! Their album "Scramble" is out now on Suicide Squeeze Records!
Lily Allen is the best, she doesn't care about swearing, clothes, being a little overweight or getting caught doing drugs and all it does is make her more popular. I don't understand why when my fat ass walks around town with no pants on, high as shit on horse tranquilizers and calling everybody I see "cock bear" I don't get the same level of acceptance? It's gotta be the accent...right?
Ok, so I realized that the video is censored so I found a video with just the audio and its isn't censored so just hit play on BOTH of them at the same time and mute the top one...got it? It's really not that confusing.
Local favorites What Laura Says recently stopped by the Daytrotter studios to record a few tracks for the website. The Tempe band played a few tunes off of their album Thinks and Feels as well as a previously unreleased song, "I Suppose", which sounds fantastic. Take a listen below.
I might be a bit biased, being that the band is a local favorite of mine, but this is definetely one of my favorite Daytrotter sessions in a while. Be sure to head on over to Daytrotter to check out the rest of the songs from What Laura Says.
You can catch AA Bondy performing along with Turn Back O Man tonight(6/29) at Modified Arts. Should be a great show and you can catch our very own photographer and man about town Shawn there tonight as well. Be sure to stop by and say hello if you see him.
So you are there at the Neil Young concert having a great time and he starts playing "A Day in the Life" and you think 'Hey, that's pretty cool' THEN Paul Fucking McCartney comes out on stage and your man nipples start producing milk. They should have made everybody pay and extra $100 on the way out for the privilege.
Idle Hands out of Minneapolis have graciously provided us with the first single off of their upcoming album The Hearts We Broke On The Way To The Show it's called "Loaded" and that is exactly what you should be at all times when you listen to music and/or drive. Just kidding don't drink or do drugs before you drive...do it WHILE you are driving so it doesn't hit you till you get where you are going.
Jay-Z continues his assault on auto-tune with this video for his song "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" and even manages to get a cameo from LeBron James and Harvey Keitel.
Don't forget, you can catch Jay-Z with Fabolous this Thursday(July 2nd) at Dodge Theatre.
Oh, hi there. I know that I've been away for the blog for a while now, but it's with good reason. I had a baby and babies are a lot of work and don't leave a whole lot of time for blogging.
Anyways, here is a track that caught my attention while I was away. The song, "Wet Gold", comes from Austin band Octopus Project and comes from their upcoming EP Golden Beds.
Hey, did you hear that Michael Jackson died last week? One of our favorite sites LastNightsParty.com has put together a little tribute to the King of Pop and Molestation.
Nathan Williams has taken a break from his nervous breakdown...just kiddin, I am sure he didn't have anything to do with this video and is still having having a nervous breakdown. Apparently the footage for the video was shot on the very same European tour of the breakdown. I wish my life was so busy and overwhelming with awesome stuff that I could have a nervous breakdown, get in a fight with my drummer and insult a bunch of dirty Spaniards...but alas I can't even find an embeddable version of this video so you will just have to go to stupid Rolling Stones stupid website and watch it all tiny but clicking HERE. They are going to be playing a few dates this summer...
UPDATE::::HERE IS THE VIDEO

I can't let this weekend end without another Wilco post can I? Of coarse not! Wilco did "You and I" the duet with Feist from next weeks Wilco (The Album) live for the first time at their show at Wiltern Theatre in LA last night. Pretty bad ass song for sure and even better when your "duestest" is there with you.
Wilco will be live "webcasting" their show from the Greek Theater tomorrow night on their site AND through their free iPhone App starting around 8pm Pacific.
Sunday John Vanderslice and The Tallest Man on Earth at Modified Arts 8pm ($12) This one will probably sell out so get tix early Tickets also available at Stinkweeds, Zia and Hoodlums
Whilst the Fleet Foxes are in the UK playing some UK festival or something Robin Pecknold played and accoustic (what else would he play?...duh)version of a new song called "Blue Spotted Tail" and here it is for you, to listen on.
I fucking love The Mars Volta and I will not apologize for it! So when they have videos I freaking post them, that's what I do OK? I love the old timey TV set, retro is so retro...you know? Get their new album Octahedron HERE
The Watson Twins are coming The Watson Twins are coming...to Modfied Arts tonight. They are on some sort of tour I guess with Found Magazine so there is going to be skits and songs and other things to make you feel better about yourself for a couple of hours. Show starts at 8pm and tix are $10
If you can't get behind fat nerds with bears then GET OFF MY PLANELAWN umm...site? Yea GET OFF MY SITE! Just kiddin' but you really should get behind fat nerds with beards...they make the world go 'round. I will be waiting with my eyes closed.
Karli Fairbanks has been pretty active in the PNW for a few years now but I didn't hear about her till yesterday when her new album The Breaking of Our Days arrived on my digital doorstep. I am really digging it and have been listening to it on repeat for a couple hours now. why don't you have a listen via the mp3's below and after that you can buy the whole album HERE, come on she has to buy coats and firewood living up there in Washington, bear skin rugs are not free people.
I went to the Wilco/Grizzly Bear show last week and I have not talked about it until now because I am a little pissed. I took my camera AND my little flip video camera with me in hopes of getting some bad ass clips n' pics. I had second row seats for the love of god so I was 10 feet from the stage. Now here comes the part I am pissed about, I noticed on the back of the ticket it said "No cameras or recording devices", we had to park like 2 miles away because of the odd location of Centennial Hall in relationship to available parking so I wasn't going to take my big ass camera or the flip since I didn't want to get turned away and have to go ALL the way back to my car and miss half the show so I left it all in the trunk. BUT when we get in there and sit down it's like the fucking presidential press conference in there! Every person in the first five rows was snapping away like digital film is free or something. So alas I COULD have taken my camera and been just fine. Oh and they ran out of water before the show even started. BUT the saving grace to all of this complaining is that it was the best effing concert I have even been to in my life. Grizzly Bear was awesome albeit short since they were "opening" but Wilco played for almost two hours of pure awesomeness. If you can get tickets to any of the remaining shows on their tour DO IT! If not then I guess you will have to live with them on Conan last night.

Up until recently I didn't really think anything interesting came from Wisconsin. That was until I heard Bon Iver's 2008 masterpiece For Emma, Forever Ago. Word is that Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver, is currently working on a follow up to For Emma, Forever Ago in between summer gigs(sadly none of them happen to be in Phoenix), but in the meantime Vernon's side project, Volcano Choir, is set to release thier debut LP this September.
Volcano Choir is a collaboration of Wisconsin artists Justin Vernon and the band Collections of Colonies of Bees. I haven't heard any tracks from the forthcoming LP but from what I've read it sounds as if this will be something completely different from Vernon's previous work. Regardless, I can pretty much bet this will be something worth checking out when the album comes out on September 22nd via Jagjaguwar.
Ida Maria, is playing tonight at Martini Ranch in support of Fortress Round My Heart one of my favorite albums of the year. Tix were $10 but looks like they are $12 day of the show (that's today dum dum) Should still be able to pick them up at the Marquee box office or Bookmans.
In conclusion there is tons of shit to do tonight so go out and see somebody, make a new friend, get in a fight with an old friend...SOMETHING! Check out silverplatter.info for even a few MORE shows, seriously.
Guess what guys? It's Deerhoof back with another video to trip your balls off and lull you into a false sense of awesomeness...They seriously and consistently have the most innovative videos out today. I also can NEVER get avocados to take my calls either, they are so fucking smug.
Swedish music person Sally Shapiro (it's a pseudonym...don't tell Canada) done got her song "Miracle" remixed by Bulgarian music person Bogdan Irkük. It makes my balls sweat!
Here is a little reminder of stuff that sucks so you can appreciate things that don't suck...I am sorry, I really am but this is for your own good. I know you were getting complacent with all of this good music coming out lately.
Big big big week in "new release" world today children. I need someone to send me a big iTunes or Amazon gift card STAT! No really please send me a gift card so I can buy all of this music. From what I have listened to so far the new Dinosaur Jr. is quite choice, Mars Volta "progs" your balls off as usual and Regina warms your heart like the exact opposite of the ending of Marley & Me. Here are the rest new albums worth checking out! If I missed anything please let me know!
On tap tonight at the Trunk Space you will find Detroit band Prussia, they sold all their houses for $6 each and went on tour so you better get your asses out there! It's only $6 and you get to see their WHOLE faces, not just their right sides! And super bonus Boys and Frogs are opening for them and Boys and Frogs are tight like a tiger and every time you can here them you should.
Check out silverplatter.info for other shows going on tonight (Mike REALLY needs to come back and start doing these again!!!)
I like Basement Jaxx as much as the next guy. That was about the worst post intro ever I think, but I do like them and I like to put widgets on my blog so this is like a marriage of two things I love the likes I have not seen since "cops" and "rock" in Cop Rock! I know it's just a giant ad but it looks cool and plays music so why are you getting so bitchy?
Woods is going on a tour and they are coming to Phoenix and they are even playing at my favorite spot (The Rhythm Room) Please check out the dates below as well as the mp3 down there...you can pick up Woods new album that came out in April by clicking HERE

So I have been hearing this song on the Sirius for a couple weeks now and I can't decide if I want to blow my brains out every time or get out of the car and dance around a little. So I don't do either except ponder the meaning of braille on drive through ATM's
There are a couple of good choices for shit to see/listen to tonight in Phoenix. In fact if you are one of the people that weren't Johny on the Spot with getting tickets to tonight's SOLD OUT Wilco/Grizzly Bear show down in Tucson then your best bet is to head on over to Modified Arts to check out my buddy River's Summer Folk Festival featuring Courtney Marie Andrews. It started at 2pm so if you can't get in there either...
Tom Brosseau at at Trunk Space sounds like a good time as well.
As always check out silverplatter.info for all the haps and deets on everything going on in Phoenix
If you have never heard or Esser then listen up, if you HAVE heard of Esser and want to catch him in American soil. Check out the tour dates I am posting below the MP3 for headlock...a truly banging dance song that make me want to dance.
15 Jun Le Royale - New York, New York 17 Jun Wrongbar - Toronto, Ontario 18 Jun Popscene - San Francisco, California 19 Jun Echoplex - Los Angeles, California 20 Jun Sonoteque - Chicago, Illinois
So I got my greedy little ears wrapped around Renminbi's new EP Surface coming out July 7th and I have to say if I was water and Renminbi was a pot I would be boiling because it's so dang hot! The best part of this is that if you register your email you can get Surface gratas. That's right free, no charge. What a bargain for something so choice. All you have to do is click HERE you also get to instantly download the first track called "Portland" as soon as you register.
Check out this little video with some clips of the recording sessions...go ahead it's OK
This video is nearly electronic...I always thought that we be a good pick up line at a bar "He there ma'am, I nearly electronic" But I didn't think of it till after i was married so will someone please try that out for me? Oh and check out Dance Upon Nothing's website for more information about them HERE
I love Ear Pwr and apparently so do five other people in Phoenix. Sometimes I just underestimate the "pwr" of Electric Mustache and the reliance people have on our daily concert calendar. You see yesterday we didn't have one so I can only assume that is the reason nobody showed up at Modified last night...right? Well Ear Pwr put on the best show they could under the circumstances. The sound guy was not exactly cooperative and playing to six people barely paying attention is not the funnest thing to do. We ended up hanging out with Devin, Sarah and their friend/driver/tour manager (whose name I can't for the life of me remember right now) for a couple of hours out on the sidewalk just bullshitting and having a grand ole' time. I can say from the deep down cockles of my heart that they are by far the coolest band I have ever hung out with and next time they come through Phoenix they are welcome to crash out my place. Enjoy the pics after the break!
In New York you get finer style of life. Things like subways and parks with grass. In Phoenix we have parks with dirt. You would think that IN PHOENIX we would have the type of radio station that would be able to get the BAND Phoenix to play some acoustic songs at least on the radio but NOOOOO! We get festivals with Panic! (fuck that exclamation point in the ass!) At the Disco. FML and enjoy the videos.
Happy iPhone software 3.0 day everybody with an iPhone and so sorry to the folks without. To go along with your landscape email writing you can download the Major Lazer by clicking HERE There is also a free "discovery" track you can download for free there also for free. This app will let you remix some songs, send ninja zombies to your neighbors loud parties, hold your hand when you cross the street and seduce old lady's all for only $5! What a bargain!
There is a lot of craziness going on here today, for ONE... Mike your usual concert calendar and New Music Tuesday man just ran out outa here because he got a call from his wife that she is having a baby! like right now as we speak and since this was the first he was hearing about it you can imagine his surprise ;-) So lets all send our "power dreams" their way. For TWO... this very post is our 499th post ever so I am trying to think of something good to do for the 500th, I don't know something like a free baby or something like that.
Without further ado...today's new releases (less thorough than normal...sorry)
I am on a freaking hunt today! A hunt for you...dearest readers and occasional commentators of ElectricMustache and I have returned from the cold cruel wilderness that is the internet with a warm bowl of music that will fill your sound stomachs with happiness. What I give to you is the new title track to A.A. Bondy's forthcoming album When The Devil's Loose (out 9/1) you can listen to it, then download it, then put it into your ipod and listen to it again even. For fans of the real thing check out the tour dates below the mp3!
SOOOO apparently we have become a music video blog...Don't worry we got some other shit on the way but these awesome videos keep popping up and I can't help myself.
This video has everything you would ever want out of a video. Stuff like wigs, parties and the color blue. OH MAN I really that they were going to blow that party the smithereens!
Sometimes I feel really bad for the actress Tania Raymonde. First, she has all kinds of bad things happen to her character, Alex, on Lost and now she's being chased through the woods in this video from Cursive. This is the second single off of Cursive's latest awesome album Mama, I'm Swollen which is available now on Saddle Creek.
Here is the first single from White Denim's new album Fits. I'm really digging the song "I Start To Run" and the video is pretty entertaining as well. Its got a kind of Mad Max meets Deliverance feel to it set to some kick ass music. For those lucky of you to live in the UK you can pick up White Denim's new album on 6/22 from Fulltime Hobby. For everyone else you can shell out the price of an import or wait until White Denim finds a US record label. Which I still have no idea why this band remains unsigned in the US.
So I was scouring the nets for something to post about and happened upon this video from a 19 year old lad from Southern California (SoCal) named Will Sturgeon that is in like 9 bands, goes to Sailing Qualage and still finds time to cover Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks" all by himself playing all the instruments and singing all the parts...by himself. I am not going to say it's better or even as good as the original but Grizzly Bear has four times the people working on it and they don't have to worry about studying for their next knot exam.
That would never fly in the U.S. post Columbine ;-)
The thing about not living in Europe is you sometimes don't hear about a good European band till pretty late in the game. But sometimes they send you an email introducing themselves and IN the email they put a link to a video, and the video is really good so you go to their myspace page and listen to some more tracks and they are ALSO really good. That is the part when I write a post letting all my friends know how good Souvenir is and give you all the ways to check them out yourselves n' shit like that. There is a video below, and below that is some MP3 action...please enjoy responsibly.
A couple of interesting shows this weekend. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to go to the Handsome Furs show tonight at Chryo Arts in Scottsdale. I'm a huge fan of Dan Boeckner's other band, Wolf Parade and I've also really enjoyed the music from Handsome Furs as well. Also on Friday is Les Claypool of Primus playing at Marquee Theatre in Tempe.

I'm really enjoying this new song from the Fruit Bats. The song "My Unusual Friend" comes off of the bands upcoming album The Ruminant Band, which is available 8/4 from Sub Pop. Enjoy!
Here's the video for "Summertime Clothes", which is the second single off of Animal Collective's latest Merriweather Post Pavillion. There isn't much I can say about the above video, so just watch it and prepare to have your collective mind's blown.
Get your acid out and get ready to trip to this video...on second thought you probably don't to take any acid because this video is going to make you trip with out it.

This video reminds me a little bit of one of those videos from the '80's that would show the band on tour and would always be set to some power ballad. Those sucked, but this video is pretty cool. Check out this latest clip from Camera Obscura for their song "Honey in the Sun", which comes from their excellent album My Maudlin Career.
Very cool video of John Vanderslice performing his song "Too Much Time" with the Magik Magik Orchestra. The song is one of my favorites off Vanderslice's new album Romanian Names which is available now from Dead Oceans.
Very excited to see Portland indie rockers Helio Sequence play tonight(6/10) at The Rhythm Room. If you've never listened to the bands 2008 album Keep Your Eyes Ahead then you are definitely missing out. The albums was a big favorite of mine last year. Tickets are still available for the show for $12 and you can purchase them either online or at Zia Records, Hoodlums, or Stinkweeds. Opening the show will be local favorites Reubens Accomplice.
We here at The 'Stache like to think of ourselves as honest American's so when I got some news today that "These United States" are releasing their 3rd album on Sept 1st I said to myself "Who in the shit balls is These United States? So I looked them up like a good music blogger and found the video at the bottom of the post and I really liked it, so NOW I am on the hunt for their first two albums and am genuinely looking forward to their new release in September. Below I have copy then pasted their tour dates as well as the cover art and track listing for the previously mentioned Everything Touches Everything your welcome for the convenience.
