We at the weapon definitely dig Warpaint, and we’re also pretty stoked to hear that we’re gonna get to see ‘em with Yeasayer next month. The rest of the country gets ‘em with Akron/Family which ain’t too shabby, either. Dig some tunes and videos Continue reading Warpaint – ‘Elephants’ Video, Tour With Akron/Family… Nada Surf bring their trademark sense of harmony and musical craftsmanship to 12 of their favorite songs with their latest release, if i had a hi-fi, their first album of covers. Only a group with their wide-ranging and eclectic taste could bring songs from such artists as Kate Bush, Dwight Twilley and the Go-Betweens together into a coherent, intelligent record. hi-fi also includes some intriguingly obscure numbers like Spanish band Mecromina’s “Evolution” and Bill Fox’s power-pop Continue reading Nada Surf Tour & Album Of Cover Songs… You’ve all heard both of these songs already, and we probably woulda posted them ages ago had it not been for STUPID *****host breaking our FREAKING servers every other day. Thanks a lot, hosting service, for sucking ass and making us fall behind on like, everything. Ugh. Anyway, Beach House and Yeasayer are 2 of our very favorite current artists here at the weapon and they’re both gearing up for new releases in early 2010. Continue reading Old News is Good News: New Beach House & New Yeasayer in 2010… LOS ANGELES – The 2009 “We The People” Festival originally scheduled for Nov. 21 has been postponed until early 2010. From the Festival: As organizers, we are committed to presenting only the finest event possible for this important movement. Due to ongoing economic challenges, we decided our best option was to move the event to a later date to insure these standards are maintained for the benefit of our important, loyal Continue reading WE THE PEOPLE MUSIC FESTIVAL RESCHEDULED FOR 2010… Not really sure how I missed this one guys, considering the fact that I live like 2 miles away from where this shindig’s gonna go down, and 2 or 3 of my friend’s bands are playing. Better late than never though, hmm? If you don’t have plans, now you do. Unless you’re like me and you don’t have 10 bucks to spend on it. So someone go, support the crew, be stoked that some awesome tunes are gonna be live within walking distance from your house – without the support of the Continue reading PARTY WEIRDO Festival Saturday Nov. 14th… Yeasayer have confirmed details about their second album release; the follow-up to their highly acclaimed 2007 debut ‘All Hour Cymbals’. The new record is called Odd Blood and will be released on February 8th of 2010. STOKED. Hope it’s as good as the last one was. Yeasayer are also set to play a special show, headlining New York’s Guggenheim Museum on October 30. “Special Show” huh? Wonder WTF they mean by Continue reading NEW YEASAYER IN 2010… He has a few records out but a couple years ago he put one called Neil Hamburger Sings Country Winners and it’s basicaly the funniest thing ever. Los Angeles (and other parts of the country), Neil Hamburger will be performing at Spaceland on November 29th, and he’ll be doing some comedy stuff, also at Spaceland, on October 25th. I’m tired so I’m gonna go to sleep now (yes at 9:45pm on a Saturday) – but dig all this other Continue reading The Funniest Man In America: Neil Hamburger… I’ve been waiting forever to find the right time to post this. Once someone asked me, “Are there any CURRENT bands that I could go see now that are awesome and rock like Violent Femmes?” I had a really hard time coming up with an answer, and finally settled on Tapes n’ Tapes, but still didn’t feel like it was the right answer. A few months later I heard this fucking fantastic song on the radio, and if someone asked me who was like the femmes that they could go see now, I’d tell Continue reading Ezra Furman & the Harpoons = Violent Femmes v.2… Bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh are hitting the stage as Sublime, just like they did in February – only, now everyone knows about it so FANS will actually get to go. The show is part of Cypress Hill’s Smokeout, and while Sublime might get the most attention, the lineup includes a ton of your favorites. Scheduled to hit the stage on Oct. 23 and 24 Continue reading Sublime Reunion (Again) – at Smokeout 2009… |
