We are very excited to say we are going to be supporting The Pixies for the entire North American leg of their Doolittle Tour 2011.
This debut album from Waking Eyes' multi-instrumentalist Rusty Matyas and sassy vocalist Marti Sarbit mines the past in a most effective way. Sonically, one can catch glimpses of almost every musical period stretching from the beginning of commercial musical sound reproduction through to the dance-driven electroclash sounds of today. - cA

TrY / BuY
Warm up this winter to Clea Roddick and her new EP "Songs of the Year Vol. 1", the first in a series of EP's to be released with each coming season. Volume 1 is the winter EP, but it won't leave you feeling cold at all... Calgary songstress Clea Roddick has the entrancing voice of a lark, the soul of a cheeky storyteller, and the heart of a passionate poet.
Her newest release entitled Songs of the Year: Volume 1 is the first in a series of four seasonal EPs which will be released this year. She has found a creative way to combine her affection for nature with her distinctive voice and cleverly composed lyrics - nxew

Camper Van Beethoven - Key Lime Pie [1998]
TrY / BuY
Camper Van Beethoven's first record with bona fide crossover appeal, 1989's Key Lime Pie (Virgin), brought the celebrated indie band into the, ahem, lime light. Not surprising since Key Lime Pie joined David Lowery's playful, ironic songwriting, Morgan Fichter's soaring violin, and Dennis Henderson's artful production. While the percussive cover "Pictures of Matchstick Men" and the chugging "Jack Ruby" have historically gotten the most attention on this record, Camper Van Beethoven gems like "(I Was Born in a) Laundromat" and "All Her Favorite Fruit" should not be overlooked. A classic. --Nick Heil
Love Axe - Phenomenomenons [2011]
TrY / BuY / BandCamP
Phenomenomenons cribs from the pages of many of the best alternative acts of the past thirty years, the end result being a spectacular mash-up or romping pop songs and raucous rockers. This is an album for cynics by cynics with central themes revolving around death and the end of the world - and the comparison thereof, but contains enough tongue-in-cheek witticisms in the thoughtfully constructed lyrics sheet to balance the bleak nature appropriately. Very Nice Listen...
David Lowery - The Palace Guards [2011]
Genre: Indie Pop-Rock/Alt-Country
TrY / BuY / SHOWs
Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker frontman David Lowery splits the difference between the former's loose eclectic twang and the latter's tight psych-country on his solo debut. Assisted by some Virginia studio pals, Lowery sticks it to celebrity on the acerbic title track and the cock-schlockin' "Baby, All Those Girls Meant Nothing to Me." He logs his own love story in the heady aquatic shimmer of "Deep Oblivion" and its sweetly redemptive sequel "Submarine." Sincerity trumps sarcasm, especially in his convincing cover of the Belgian band Mint's gloriously morose "Ah, You Left Me." Excellent!!! - Spin

Prefect. Touring soon; need to see this guy play live...

Porch Songs: Dreaming of Summer
A little bit of snow has fallen EVER day over the past 30, covering the landscape with a wintery chill. These songs have reminded me of the heart ache of the more difficult months - like now; and the relief once winter finally breaks. Those first warm days when the sun once again wakes the skin. This mix will bridge today with then for now. Enjoy. TrY
