The Fire, themselves, have confirmed it's existence as being specifically for the trailer. This begs the question: are there any others? Let's just keep our fingers crossed, on that one. Because this was just such a perfect choice for the trailer and I believe it's really gonna help get some people pumped about going to see it, in theaters. I hope it does well, man... I really do.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I get home, tonight, we'll talk more about the musical direction this film has taken and the goosebumps it's been giving me.

I was lucky enough to catch one of my favorite bands playing at The Uptown (Oakland, Ca) only to be pleasantly suprised by one of the opening acts that night, Sholi.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, when i attempt to describe a band, I always end up fucking it up. So heres what im gonna do. I'm gonna throw out some words that come to mind when i think of listening to the band Sholi....here goes: melodic, tumultuos, peaceful, pretty, free jazz, avant-garde, mysterious. There....now what you can do is click on the links or video i leave you with at the end of this blog. Draw your own conclusions.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The band Sholi has been on quite a journey, starting as a Davis/Sacramento based band, now Bay Area residents. Within that time they've put out a few releases such as a 7" with the Dead Science, another 7" "Hejrat" (which was a cover originally done by a popular 1970's Iranian pop singer, Googoosh), and on to their most recent release which is their debut self-titled album, produced by Greg Saunier of Deerhoof. Thats not all, they were also added to the <a href="http://www.touchandgorecords.com/">Quarterstick/Touch and Go</a> roster and with their recently released album, the Sholi trio will also be making their rounds through SXSW and then onto a not so far US/Europe Tour.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For anyone not familiar with the "A Take Away Show" videos, they're videos of bands you may be familiar with (Animal Collective, Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire, to name a few) performing songs in different enviroments (outside, elevators, alleys). Sholi took part in this.

Half the time I mention this band, I get a "Who?" or I end up starting a never ending conversation. DM3 sounds like an awesome bluegrass record you would pick up at secondhand shop...can you get any more badass than that?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The live shows are definitely a site to be seen.

How the hell was punky bluegrass something that had slipped under my radar?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since their first visit to Fresno, The Devil Makes Three has grown a local fan base that has grown due to their live presence and word of mouth. The Devil Makes Three will be making a stop at Audie's Olympics (formerly Club Fred) on March 12th. This tour will take them all over the West Coast (including a stop at the much talked about SXSW festival.) <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Joining DM3 at Audie's will be Cosmic Hayride (of Sanger) and Gardening Not Architecture. This is sure to be one interesting show with this eclectic line up. Get on the bandwagon before everyone else beats you too it. This is going to be one killer show. <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So remember:<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.myspace.com/thedevilmakesthree">The Devil Makes Three</a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/thedevilmakesthree"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.myspace.com/cosmichayride">Cosmic Hayride</a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/cosmichayride"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.myspace.com/gardeningnotarchitecture">Gardening Not Architecture</a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/gardeningnotarchitecture"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">9pm<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">March 12th @ Audie's Olympic</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1426 N.

It's not going on at The Exit, Kuppajoe, or even The Starline. It is all going down at the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/chinatownyouthcenter"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">CYC</span></a>. The Chinatown Youth Center opened up only a few months ago, but is quickly generating buzz with kids all over California. I must admit that, at first, the location and size of the place had me worried. However, I believe these attribute to the amazing energy that's within those four walls on a regular basis.</span><br /><br /><span id="query" class="query"> It's location in the heart of Chinatown set it up to be one of Fresno's best kept secrets. Those willing to venture to the last few shows were treated with not only a unique but also an out of the ordinary experience. Over 100 kids at an underground indie/punk show in Fresno??? Unheard of!!! This is not the product of clever promoting or exceptional venue planning. This is the product of bored youth looking for a breath of fresh air.</span><br /><br /><span id="query" class="query"> This Saturday, Groundskeeper (featuring Jordan Sobolew of Occam's Razor) will be playing at the CYC with up-and-coming locals Racelegs, Everything All The Time, The Fay Wrays, and Touch Football. That's not it, folks. You get a discount if you bring a mix CD/tape to trade with someone...making this Mixtape Party #1!!! $5 with a tape/CD and $7 if you don't want to have any fun whatsoever.

They have the boom, they have the melody and for some odd reason their tunes make you feel like you're shopping for babies at a grocery store. They're also all over the place right now.<br /><br />What's Up? with members Robert C. Moncrieff, Brian Marshall and Edward S. Briggs (ex-Boss The Big Bit) are making their rounds through California, hittin up SXSW, taking some time to play a couple of shows with THE Marnie Stern and then calling it a day. Sounds like another day in the office, eh? Well, whatever type of day you call it, make it a point to clear some time in your day to check out a couple a tracks from these boys by checking their myspace (<a href="http://www.myspace.com/whatsupwhatsupwhatsup">Whats Up?</a>). What's Up? will be playing in Visalia, Ca. with Marnie Stern @ The Cellar Door on March 26th. The show is being held by the well known Aaron Gomes with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/soundnvisionmagazine">Sound N' Vision</a> and shall be a show well worth whatever it is you pay for it.<br /><br />You hungry? Well then heres a taste of What's Up?

With all the ridiculous trends currently emerging in the mainstream, it's completely refreshing to find an artist who sees these things and just... gets it.

Something new from Iceland is coming, and it's being brought by Seabear's frontman Sindri Mar Sigfusson, called Sin Fang Bous and can really put a smile on your face. I haven't instantly fallen in love with something this good in a while. There is something to be said about the playful and simply lyrics and how the vocals instantly become another part of the instrumentation to the song (and when you do that on two vocal tracks to help build up the song even more?) Plus you have to love all the little sounds and noises that are added in many songs just for you're listening pleasure. This is also a great album for folk fans, and Sindri does a great job of mixing up folk with mellow electronic tempos.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This album has been out since December 5th, so if you get a chance head out and pick it up. In the meantime here is the video for one of their songs.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's directed by Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir, who also did the video for Mum's "They Made Frogs Smoke 'Til They Exploded":<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dbDAUwMo6iw&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dbDAUwMo6iw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /></div>Griffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01016091784156348559noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373766741908817503.post-46838666685669705942009-03-02T03:11:00.000-08:002009-03-02T04:54:26.220-08:00Efterklang and the infinity of space/time continuum...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://club.badbonn.ch/_data/efterklang.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px;" src="http://club.badbonn.ch/_data/efterklang.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">I read somewhere, that there are moments in which you just know. Like this one... I know I'm going to love Efterklang. I don't know how... I just know it.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I discovered them, tonight, while making the rounds on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/soundnvisionmagazine">Sound n Vision</a>. Thanks to the wonders of no-speed internet, I was only able to hear the first 10 seconds of their single, "Mirador," before that creepy little comcast tortoise showed up to warn me of the evil that is broadband. I spent the next half hour, muttering sweet nothings to the screen, in an attempt to coax my connection out of hiding. Thankfully, my roommate also owns a computer and I can, at last, get on with my affairs. Specifically, the hot and sweaty one I'm having with these Danes, right now.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Efterklang is one of a kind, man. One part high school march, one part ramblin' folk legend, one part lonely robot slave, I think. Those first few moments were more than enough to catch my attention, but the rest of the track has been on repeat, all night. I don't even know where the song goes... it just kinda weaves in and out... much the same I. That's what they call "meant to be."<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bla, bla, bla... the point is that they're on their way down into the valley and you really don't want to miss a second of their presence. Do you?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mark your calendars, kids:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&Band_Show_ID=38529542&friendid=29315582">March 9th (next Monday) @ Cellar Door (Visalia)</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">More info after the jump.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">mp3:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.fileqube.com/hl/kOeYo1370321/52 - Efterklang - Mirador.mp3">Efterklang : Mirador</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">-----</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">p.s. The video is something altogether separate. A testament to the alleged "genius" of artist, Nan Na Hvass, this piece will take you places. It feels something akin to playing video games... then doing drugs and playing them some more... then doing so many drugs that you cease to play the games and, instead, find yourself <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">within</span> them.

Their eerie harmonies may as well be some siren's lullaby... because I'm hooked. This song reminds me that I'm going to die, someday. In a good way.<br /><br />Anyway... they'll be in town, this coming Thursday, on a pit stop from their tour with The Submarines. If you're 21+, come on down to Tokyo and show some love. The usual suspects will be around, as well. We all know <a href="http://www.myspace.com/rademacher">Rademacher</a>, of course... but some may have yet to hear the sparkling sensation that is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/racelegs">Racelegs</a>. No doubt... they're a local trio of trouble.
