It’s a big week for Blips acts around here, as we’ve got our second new music video from an artist we profiled. This one comes from Dawes, the California-based act,
The Dave Matthews Band kicked off the Austin City Limits television season back in October peppering a few classics among plenty of new tunes from Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux
There is nothing wrong with a little back up. And by “back up,” I mean a bass guitar and a set of drums. I have listened to Jake Nannery’s voice, accompanied by nothing but an acoustic guitar. The added sounds provided by bassist, Ramon Salumbides, and drummer, Mike West was excellent. The slap of the bass and the solid percussion was the perfect touch to Nannery’s signature bluesy, rock style. The three have been playing and creating music for three to four years, and the opportunity to tour as a group was an exciting and fulfilling experience. Between April 16 and April 20, they traveled down America’s west coast, and camped in beach towns between shows.
It’s ironic that both The New Pornographers and Broken Social Scene released their new albums on the same day: two Canadian collectives with both old and young members now fighting the unavoidable “super-group” tag. However Together, the fifth album from The New Pornographers, sticks to their now well versed formula: AC Newman and his compadres playing the sunny and dark along with very special guests Neko Case and Destroyer's Dan Bejar. Together melds the pop flawlessness of 2005’s Twin Cinema with the eccentric flair of 2007’s Challengers into one cool carton of high-powered indie rock (if we can still consider Matador indie).
On Horehound, The Dead Weather injected their own warped blues into 70’s style doom rock with oomph. On the groups second release Sea of Cowards all shackles seem to be have been discarded, allowing the band to experiment with different sounds, styles, and substances.
Seattle-based quintet Minus the Bear is proud to announce the addition of four weeks worth of tour dates on their already successful North American headlining tour. Currently on the west

Iconic rocker Neil Young kicked off his Twisted Road Tour at the Palace Theatre in Albany on Tuesday night in and opened by dusting off the classic My My, Hey
More than half of this week’s selections come from the first Hangout Beach, Music, and Arts Festival in Gulf Shores, AL. The reviews coming in from those in attendance have been overwhelmingly positive and many more had the luxury of watching many of the headliners live, or almost live, via a free iClips webcast. Beyond the jambands featured from Hangout Fest, we round out our selections with two very different piano-playing-frontmen.

Picking three tunes from the Ben Folds concert was easy, well the categories were easy anyway. One solo tune, one Ben Folds Five tune, and one cover of The Postal Service. This is very crisp sounding tape, fans of his should definitely add this show to their collection. Ben Folds next performs July 17th with the Utah Symphony as part of the Deer Valley Music Festival.
