Stars and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Concert and More!

This Sunday at the Glass House in Pomona, a group of us will be going to see Stars and The Pains in concert. It should be a good show and seeing both bands on the same night is a definitely a plus. I believe tickets are still available for $18 and doors open at 7pm. $18 for two bands people!

On Pitchfork’s website The Pains of Being Pure at Heart has a single called “Heart in Your Heartbreak”  from their sophomore album Belong, that you can listen to. The actual single will not be release until December 14th. Have a listen.  Can’t wait until the new album.

The Radio Dept. also just released their Never Follow Suit EP a couple of days ago. You can also download for free the song “The One” here. It’s very dubtastic and I like it. This band seems to put out consistently good music. Oh, and did I tell you that they will be in concert at the El Rey Theater on Wednesday, February 16th?! They will finally make a west coast appearance that I know people, including I, have been eagerly waiting for.

Gentle Touch & Beach House

Good god, has it really been over two months since my last post!? My humble apologies to my 4 readers and I will try to update more often. Sometimes there’s not a lot of new music being released, but I will make a more honest effort.

Here are two bands that really caught my attention over the past months. The first band is called Gentle Touch. They’re a Swedish band that plays more of the synth pop genre and reminds me a lot of a German synth pop band named Camouflage. If you can’t remember Camouflage, they had a pretty big hit back in the 80′s with their song “The Great Commandment“.  Here’s a sample video of Gentle Touch

The next band is Beach House. They’ve been around since 2004, and released three albums so far.  Teen Dream, their latest album, is one that I can not stop playing. Whether it’s the music, melody or Victoria Legrand’s vocals I’m not too sure, but I just keep coming back to this album.

Please have a listen.

Tell me that didn’t get your ears perked up. I know you want more, so here’s some more.
