ChVurches and HAIM release debut albums!!

This is a BIG week for the Ladies of Indie rock! Two of 2013's best records are released within a 7 day span and feature highly talented Female vocalists.



First, from Glasgow, UK is the band ChVrches with their debut release "The Bones Of What You Believe". This album was released on Tuesday September 24, 2013 featuring the singles "Mother We Share" and "Gun". This album will capture your attention all the way through. Most notably are the tracks "Night Sky" and "Under the Tide" and of course the two singles. All of the tracks are excellent, showcasing the band's diversity, unique sound, and uplifting lyrics.

Here is a lyrical excerpt from "Night Sky"
I'm the night-sky
I'm the fire in your eyes
And I want you Now and for all time
I'm the cold heart
I'm the secret that you hide
I'll be listening until you decide


I am thoroughly pleased with this purchase and would give the "THUMBS UP" recommendation to drop the extra coin for Vinyl.


Next, from Los Angeles is HAIM - the Sister Trio of Danielle, Alana and Este Haim - set to release their debut album "Days Are Gone" this coming Tuesday September 30, 2013.


HAIM started as a family band called RockinHaim when the girls played together along with their parents. As they progressed, the girls eventually dropped the 'Rockin' to become known simply as HAIM. They went out and found drummer Dash Hutton and started tearing up the Indie Rock Scene. 

This album is an ABSOLUTE MUST and (again) I would give the "THUMBS UP" recommendation to drop the extra coin for Vinyl.

My wife and I had a blast seeing HAIM Live at SXSW this past March in a small outdoor venue!! If you get the chance to see their Live show it is also a MUST.  If your City is not on their radar just yet you can see them preforming Live by clicking HERE.

ENJOY!!

Mumford & Sons - Dallas, TX 9/18/2013

Hello,

Mumford & Sons were in Dallas last Wednesday 9/18/2013 at the GEXA Energy Pavilion.  This show was especially sweet as it was a reschedule from the original date of 6/11/2013.  Due to a near miss with a brain aneurism - Brian et al were back in action and delivered the goods!!  I wanted to share some original photos from my experience in the pit.(pure luck in acquiring these gems)  I would thoroughly recommend you traveling far & wide, as needed, to go see Mumford & sons

Any which way you dice it, I hope you enjoy this post as much as we love this show. 



More to follow on the Indie scene, very soon...

The Killers are set to release a new "Best of" album entitled “Direct Hits”, celebrating the 10 year anniversary of their first gig in London. There are two new singles (1) Shot At the Night (2) Just Another Girl. Click on the link below to hear "Shot At The Night". This track was produced by M83 so you will notice the 'electronic' feel of this track right away. I'm a big fan of this track and think it is one for the ages. Hopefully you'll enjoy it too.
