A crowd makes Noise for the Needy

Ever feel guilty about going to more than a few shows in a week? Or how about two shows in one night? It seems there’s always work you could be doing, friends you could be meeting, or family you’ve been neglecting. If this sounds like you, be prepared to rawk with impunity! This coming week is chock full of guilt-free shows that will actually make you feel better about yourself for attending.

From Tuesday, June 5, through Sunday, June 10, Seattle hosts Noise for the Needy, a nonprofit organization with roots in sunny CA but now an annual even in the Northwest. This year, Okkervil River headlines the event. Over the six nights, six venues offer eleven shows of stellar acts like The Whoremoans, The Cops, CSS, The Lights, Das Llamas, Tall Birds, Sera Cahoone, Cancer Rising, and many others. Check the schedule and plan your week.

This year’s worthy recipient is Rise n’ Shine, a Seattle organization that provides emotional support programs, stability, advocacy, and AIDS education for children and teens affected by HIV and AIDS. You can purchase tickets online, and be sure to participate in the online auction that has already begun!To sample the feel-good rockness, peep this clip from the opening party at the Sunset Tavern on April 19, featuring The Cops:

On Saturday, June 2, KEXP presents the next Audioasis Live Remote Broadcast and Benefit Show at High Dive. Get your groove on with Ghetto Pony while helping support Youth Force, a local non-profit that helps low income and minority teens develop the skills, knowledge and experiences they need to succeed in high school, college, and beyond.

Sharing the bill with the Montreal’s Ghetto Pony are local bands Mob Law, High Violets, Sister Psychic and a reunited Peter Parker.

The show starts at 6 pm and costs a mere $8, which goes directly to Youth Force!

Live Broadcast performances:

6:30 - 7:00 Sister Psychic (LIVE on KEXP)
8:00 - 8:30 The Mob Law (LIVE on KEXP)

Showcase:

9:30 - 10:15 Ghetto Pony
10:30 - 11:15 High Violets
11:30 - 12:15 Peter Parker
12:30 - 1:15 The Mob Law

Also going on this weekend is the Georgetown Music Festival, also featuring a terrific lineup, including The Supersuckers, Voyager One, BOAT, Iceage Cobra, Hypatia Lake, The Trucks, and Earlimart, and that’s just part of the incredible lineup.

A part of the proceeds of festival go toward Edward Reed Arts, a Georgetown-based non-profit that “strives to support independent artists as business owners that are self supporting.”

In addition, the festival has brought much needed attention to an area beloved of Seattle artists but under siege from City Hall.

Daily tickets for the Georgetown Music Festival are $15 each at the door, but you can pick up a weekend pass for $25. Two of the four stages are all-ages, so bring your family.

That should give you plenty to do this next week and a lot to make yourself feel good about helping to promote worthwhile causes, but if you’re still aching for more, KEXP recommends Damien Jurado at the Tractor and Joy Wants Eternity at the Sunset Tavern on Friday, and Gerald Collier also at the Tractor on Saturday.

Briefly, here’s what’s going on in local news…

Beth Ditto of Portland band The Gossip is breaking stereotypes with as a covergirl for NME. In the issue, Ditto talks nice about Kate Moss but disses the system that creates body issues: “You can’t hate a person for dieting, and you can’t blame a person for feeling shit about themselves. You have to blame the machine that feeds it, the thing that makes people feel like that.”

Seattle band BOAT is about (that’s funny for Canadians) to embark on a brief tour. The band, who is performing this weekend’s Georgetown Music Fest, will hold a Three Imaginary Girls sponsored CD release party on July 6 and then swing through the middle of the U.S. before returning for the Capitol Hill Block Party.

BOAT - The Bar Is Too Low To Fail (MP3)

There may or may not be a Temple of the Dog reunion at The Crocodile. The Stranger reports that the Croc booker Eli Anderson denies the rumor. According to Seattlest, people are already selling tix on Craigslist. Stay tuned.

I hinted about it earlier, but The Cave Singers have officially announced signing to Matador records. Check their MySpace page for updates about their forthcoming Invitation Songs.

Finally, a reader named “junebug” asked why Seattle band Arthur and Yu doesn’t get any KEXP love. I’m definitely a fan and am excited to see them play with A Sunny Day In Glasgow on June 21. Be sure to check out their MySpace page for information on their upcoming release In Camera (June 19) and for dates of their supporting tour with The Album Leaf. Lend an ear for this new song “Come To View (Song for Neil Young)” and an eye for this guest spot of theirs on Dntel’s “The Distance”:

Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part our Song of the Day podcast subscription. This podcast features exclusive KEXP in-studio performances, unreleased songs, and recordings from independent artists that our DJs think you should hear. Today’s featured selection, chosen by Afternoon Show host Kevin Cole, is “Shame” by The Avett Brothers from the 2007 release Emotionalism, available on Ramseur Records.

The Avett Brothers - Shame (MP3)

After breaking from former rock band Nemo, Scott and Seth Avett took material they had developed over numerous late-night jam sessions and recorded The Avett Brothers‘ first album, Country Was, in 2002. Acquiring stand-up bassist Bob Crawford in the process, this band has not looked back since, recently appearing at Coachella and slated for Bumbershoot later this year. The new album, Emotionalism, is the band’s heart-on-sleeve reaction to society’s detachment and numbness. Don’t let the tagline misguide you, though — Emotionalism rocks like its predecessors, while musically and harmonically it’s rolled even tighter. Check out the band’s MySpace page for a few cuts off the new record, or check out some of Scott’s oil paintings, viewable online.

Here’s a video for “Talk Of Indolence” showing the more raucous side of the Avett Brothers (for the more relaxed side check out “November Blue“):

All around the blogosphere, from New York (The Tripwire, Brooklyn Vegan, etc.) to the Northwest (The Finest Kiss, Three Imaginary Girls, Reverb, etc.), you can find post-Sasquatch run-downs and evaluations, full of interesting videos, stories, and pictures. Yesterday, the blog featured a few videos from the festival, and today we have two photo galleries from our fantastic photo coordinator Greg Perez. Check these amazing images out:

Day 1:

Day 2:

But now that the ‘Squatch is over, it’s time to move on. The internet attention has turned toward other upcoming festivals like Bonnaroo, which features a dizzying array of KEXP favorites, like The White Stripes, Wilco, The Flaming Lips, Manu Chao, The Decemberists, Hot Chip, and Franz Ferdinand, in addition to the jam bands that the festival is known for. The schedule for the four day event is now available.

Also on the horizon, though a bit further off, is another festival at The Gorge: the Download Festival, a UK import, will make its American debut with four U.S. stops, including the scenic spot at George, WA. Each festival stop features different artists. At the Gorge Amphitheater, on August 25, you can see Modest Mouse, The Thermals, Nada Surf, and … wait a minute — Incubus? Should make for an interesting crowd.

Beyond that a few artists have announced tour dates recently:

Rock Sellout lists new stops for Ryan Adams, who will be promoting his upcoming Easy Tiger. Here’s a two minute clip of “Two” from the album due next Tuesday:

Ryan Adams - Two (MP3)

A list of tour dates for The Maccabees can be found at Each Note Secure, though no Seattle stop has been listed yet.

Shelves of Vinyl lists a few new dates for Klaxons, who will be returning to Seattle with their energetic and entertaining show on July 10 at Chop Suey.

Speaking of tours, the next stop for Arcade Fire after Sasquatch was Portland, where they covered Clinic’s “Distortions.” You watch a video of it, thanks to The Music Slut:

Moving on a different path, The Strokes have retooled their website and reshot the video for “You Only Live Once.” While the original video, which featured the band being flooded inside an oil tanker, was amusing enough, the cinematic new video, directed by Warren Fu, is super-slick. Here it is:

Duluth band Low try out a new version of “Hatchet” in this video, animated by Scott Bateman:

Also, trying something new is Sufjan Stevens, whose rooftop performance I featured yesterday. For their next annual Music Issue (which should come out in June), The Believer convinced Sufjan to record a “rock song.” Yesterday, Stereogum had the exclusive stream of the song, entitled “In The Words Of The Governor.” Today, you can find it on Jonk’s Music Blog (and linked below). Be sure to pick up the special issue of The Believer, which will also include songs by Deerhunter, Page France, The Blow, Aesop Rock, The Twilight Sad, and a whole ton of other great artists.

Sufjan Stevens - In The Words Of The Governor (MP3)

I’ll leave you with this new song by Savath & Savalas, a side project of Prefuse 73’s Guillermo Scott Herren, because it features the inestimable talents of Jose Gonzalez. The album, Golden Pollen, comes out on June 19 on Anti. Thanks to Some Velvet Blog for hosting this:

Savath & Savalas feat. Jose Gonzalez - Estrella De Dos Caras (MP3)

Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part our Song of the Day podcast subscription. This podcast features exclusive KEXP in-studio performances, unreleased songs, and recordings from independent artists that our DJs think you should hear. Today’s featured selection, chosen by Afternoon Show host Kevin Cole, is “The Gold We’re Digging” by Parts & Labor from the 2007 release Mapmaker, available on Jagjaguwar.

Parts & Labor - The Gold We’re Digging (MP3)

It’s hard to believe when listening to the third full-length release by Brooklyn’s Parts & Labor that three people can make some much noise. Granted, the trio had help adding layers, including a horn section, to their already multi-layered, punk-infused electronic rock. The result is a hard punching but still melodic sound that walks the edge between psychedelic freakout and ambient pop, owing as much to Husker Dü as to Brian Eno. The Stranger went so far as to call Parts & Labor the “Phil Spectors of Noise Rock” (minus a little of the hair and a lot of the craziness, for course). Here’s the band performing “A Great Divide” from last year’s Stay Afraid:

Welcome back from your long weekend. Whether you trekked out to Sasquatch, gathered with family and friends around the barbecue, or solemnly remembered those who have served, we’re happy to have you back, and I’m here to help you get back on track. A few things have happened while you’ve been gone.

Those of you back from Sasquatch have stories aplenty to share, I’m sure. Already a few amateur vid have hit the ‘tube, including these, which will either remind you of good times or help you fill in those missing gaps. For those of you not at the two-day fest, they’ll help you pretend you were:Strong wind and dancing hippy chicks couldn’t keep crowds away from Northwest acts like The Dandy Warhols, Neko Case, The Long Winters, or Minus the Bear, here performing “Absinthe Party At The Fly Honey Warehouse”:
Many ‘Squatchers learned what KEXPers already know: that Ghostland Observatory rules the school. Check out this quality clip of “Move With Your Lover”:

The main attraction for many concertgoers who traveled great distances, besides Arcade Fire and Beastie Boys, was Bjork. This video mix of several songs proves that Icelandic princess didn’t disappoint:

If your inner Squatch still isn’t satisfied, check out more coverage from Ear Candy and Reverb, who in conjunction with The Village Voice, brings you live songs from The Black Angels, Spoon, Viva Voce, Beastie Boys, and more. For pics, check out Pitchfork’s photo gallery.

While some of you were out there, the rest of us were back home staying on top of the news. Here’s what you may have missed:

The Joy Division biopic Control took high honors at Cannes, garnering the Best European Film award, though not all reviewers were fond of it. You can go back to Friday’s “Today in Music” to watch the trailer.

According to Aversion, guitarist Erik (Howk) Lashes is moving back to Alaska for rehabilitation after his unfortunate spinal injury. We wish Erik the best and a speedy recovery.

Making the rounds this morning is a new New Pornographers song from the the upcoming album The Challengers due August 21 on Matador.

The New Pornographers - My Rights Versus Yours (MP3)

Also, spreading quickly over the blogosphere is another fantastic set from La Blogotheque, this time from Sufjan Stevens performing “The Lakes of Canada” on the rooftop of Cincinnati’s Memorial Hall during the MusicNOW festival. And if you like this, be sure to check out Austin’s Sound Team performing “Handful of Billions” in the middle of a parade.

In Vancouver, The Police kicked off their first tour in over 20 years on Sunday with an exclusive session for about 4,000 lucky fans. Check out the mind-blowing setlist, including the rarely performed “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic,” on Billboard. The next night, Sting and the crew played a similar set for 20,000! If you wish you were there, relive it with this great concert review over at Jam.

Scottish band The View continue their stream of bad luck as frontman Kyle Falconer was hospitalized with a case of blood poisoning as a result of an infected blister. You can read more about the beleaguered band over at Spin.

While the Three Imaginary Girls are still trying to decide if the Lily Allen/Debbie Harry duet of “Heart of Glass” on Friday’s Today Show is “awesome or terrible” (I’m going with the latter, but the soccer moms seem to like it), you can decide for yourself:

Apparently, it never gets old: Babyshambles‘ Pete Doherty didn’t show up to his scheduled DJ debut at London’s Gatecrasher Festival on Sunday, for which fans reportedly paid up to $80. At this point, you’ve gotta know, “buyer, beware.”

Yesterday, I Guess I’m Floating put up this Colin Meloy b-side:

Colin Meloy - Oh No [Lavender Diamond cover] (MP3)

Sadly, today is the ten year anniversary of Jeff Buckley’s premature demise. For a touching memorial, turn to I Am Fuel, You Are Friends and to Say Anything Syndrome, who hosts this live acoustic song recorded in Japan:

Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should Have Come Over [live] (MP3)

Today is also Tuesday, which means new music. Largehearted Boy’s list of new releases is shorter than usual because of the holiday-shortened week, but that shouldn’t keep you holding out on Cary Brothers, Richard Thompson, Robert Pollard, Piano Magic, and the surprisingly good Perry Farrel project Satellite Party.

Satellite Party - Wish Upon a Dog Star (MP3)

Cary Brothers - Who You Are (MP3)

Richard Thompson - Needle and Thread (MP3)

Piano Magic - The Last Engineer (MP3)

R. Kelly - Freaky In The Club (MP3) — yeah, that’s right!

Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part our Song of the Day podcast subscription. This podcast features exclusive KEXP in-studio performances, unreleased songs, and recordings from independent artists that our DJs think you should hear. Today’s featured selection, chosen by Afternoon Show host Kevin Cole, is “Your 8th Birthday” by Cloud Cult from the 2007 release The Meaning of 8, available on Earthology Records.

Cloud Cult - Your 8th Birthday (MP3)

This Minneapolis band needs little introduction to regular KEXP listeners, as they’ve been a favorite of our DJs for last few years and have appeared on the station five times for performances and interviews. Besides being generous with their time, Craig Minowa and the rest of Cloud Cult are active environmentalists who not only promote awareness (some of them by career) but also successfully live the lifestyle they preach. The band’s self-run label, Earthology Records, uses donated jewel cases that would otherwise end up in landfills and has begun using 100% post-consumer recycled cardboard for mail-order CDs, and to compensate for their impact while touring, they plant trees, buy wind power credits and have installed solar panels on their van, which will soon be converted to biodiesel. You can read more about how Craig and the band have become effectively “green” in this informative interview with Grist. Also, if you haven’t already, be sure to listen to Craig’s discussion with John Richards about global responsibility on Music That Matters Vol. 28.

There is so much more to discover about this conscientious and creative band, which you can do on their website. There, you can also view Scott West and Connie Minowa’s incredible artwork that they create during each show. You’ll be hearing more from Cloud Cult on KEXP this summer, as the band is the first to be announced for our 5th Annual KEXP BBQ on August 18! Stay tuned for more information. In the meantime, check out this video for “Chain Reaction” from their performance at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis last year:

Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part our Song of the Day podcast subscription. This podcast features exclusive KEXP in-studio performances, unreleased songs, and recordings from independent artists that our DJs think you should hear. Today’s featured selection, chosen by Afternoon Show host Kevin Cole, is “The Ruby Ring Man” by Page France from the 2007 release Page France and the Family Telephone, available on Suicide Squeeze.

Page France - The Ruby Ring Man (MP3)

While Maryland resident Michael Nau remains the principle songwriter, Page France has grown over the past four years into a collective of friends built around Nau, Whitney McGraw (vocals, keyboards, glockenspiel), and Clinton Jones (guitar, percussion). Their third full-length … And the Family Telephone, finds the band continuing their folk-meets-indie pop sound that often invites comparison to Sufjan Stevens and Neutral Milk Hotel, lyrically, musically, and spiritually. While Page France does share a similar penchant for quirky and creative lyrics, inventive instrumentation, and recurrent but somewhat ambiguous Biblical imagery, their approach is more childlike and whimsical. With song titles like “Rooster and Its Crow,” “The Belly in the Fish,” “Mr. Violin and Dancing Bear,” …And the Family Telephone is more likely to recall the stories of your youth — Aesop’s Fables, Through the Looking Glass, Oh The Places You’ll Go. Ever prolific, Michael Nau continues to post new songs on the band’s MySpace page (check now for two unreleased songs!). Here’s a performance of “Chariot” on New Year’s Eve 2006 at Nau’s house, just before midnight:

Yesterday’s post, like on all Thursdays, focused specifically on the Northwest (Sasquatch, duh!), and in that very short time a whole bunch of non-NW related stories fell through the cracks here at the KEXP Blog. So, today, while all of your officemates have fled to hills, beaches, and in-laws’ houses, you can kick up your feet, watch a few videos and reconnect with the world. Don’t worry — your boss is probably on vacation too. Here’s what’s been going on:

First things first: the new video for “Icky Thump” by The White Stripes, which was kicking around the blogosphere all day yesterday. Unfortunately, you’re likely to find a lot of dead links right now. To view it proper, you’ve got to get the goods from Spinner, who is officially hosting the video, which is where we got this:

Another item I was itching to post all day yesterday is the new song that The Jesus & Mary Chain played on the Late Show with David Letterman. The resurrected feedback-loving rockers, who recently appeared for two dates at NYC’s Webster Hall, performed this song, which they called “All Things Must Pass.” Thanks to Indie Selections, who posted this video and prettied up a nice mp3 for you to listen to:

The Jesus & Mary Chain - All Things Must Pass [live on Letterman] (MP3)

Lady Sovereign was quick to make apologies (and excuses) for her Brooklyn meltdown the other day. Brooklyn Vegan posted a press release, which outlines her very difficult day (broken down tour bus, etc.) leading up to the event, and contained this slightly more heartfelt apology by the lil’ rapper: “I know how stupid i must have looked on Friday, I was tired and not in the mood, having a bad day. But that’s no excuse for letting fans down, I’m sorry to those that were at Studio B to see me.” The label’s press release promised a new tour bus when Lady Sov returned to NYC. I’m sure that was the problem.

Another new video that was anticipated at least as much, if not more so, for its production as for the man who recorded the song, is Paul McCartney’s “Dance Tonight,” directed by Michel Gondry and featuring Natalie Portman:

Yesterday, Spin posted a clip and trailer for the upcoming Joy Division biopic Control, directed by famed photographer, videographer and filmmaker Anton Corjbin (you know, the dude who shot the great U2 Joshua Tree pics). The film, which screened to enthusiastic audiences at Cannes last week, stars a relative newcomer Sam Riley, who, by the look of these clips posted by Spin (via telerama.fr), is a convincing Ian Curtis:

Here’s the Control trailer:

Hey fanboys and girls (we’re non-discriminatory here at KEXP), here’s a hot item: the sultry Neko Case is auctioning off her underwear. Sort of. KEXP DJ and Seattle Weekly writer Hannah Levin reports over at Reverb that you can currently bid on the corset Neko wore in the burlesque photo shoot by Seattle photographer Victoria Renard for Kutie magazine and for a promotional calendar for Sympathy for the Music Industry. The Ebay auction, which is currently up to $177 and is still within your reach, will benefit Greyt Expectations Greyhound Rescue.

Have you guessed yet who the Doc Marten wearing angel is up there? You may have already heard anyway, but one image in a series of misguided mock-ups for the proposed “Forever” campaign features Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain sittin’ on a cloud with his Doc boots untied, looking forlorn. Courtney Love, whose track record with Kurt’s image hasn’t exactly been spotless, immediately took the blame. But it wasn’t the former Mrs. Cobain who was at fault. Doc Martens’ CEO apologized for the company and maintained that the ads weren’t commissioned by the ad agency who created them. You can read the whole story over at Spin, and check out the other mock-ups for Sid Vicious, Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone, if you have the stomach for it.

Ok, that’s it. I’ll post some new videos next week, once everybody else is back from their holiday barbecues and memorial remembrances. I’ll leave you with a new one by UNKLE, which gives me new respect for Clooney-clone Goran Visnjic, who stars in this cinematic video for “Burn My Shadow (feat. Ian Astbury)”

If you hear any great news or music over the long weekend, be sure to drop me a line at blog@kexp.org.

Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part our Song of the Day podcast subscription. This podcast features exclusive KEXP in-studio performances, unreleased songs, and recordings from independent artists that our DJs think you should hear. Today’s featured selection, chosen by Midday Show host Cheryl Waters, is “You’re a Wolf” by Sea Wolf from the 2007 EP Get to the River Before It Runs too Low, available on Dangerbird.

Sea Wolf - You’re A Wolf (MP3)

Branching out from his role as bassist of Los Angeles band Irving, Alex Church has turned side-project Sea Wolf into a full time gig. While Church claims that his music is not born of a particular place, the connections made by association with Jack London’s American west (in case you’ve forgotten your grade school Lit, he’s the one who wrote Call of the Wild as well as The Sea Wolf) are not unfounded. The very geographical name of the title reinforces the recurrent imagery of being connected on the land, much in the way that it was important for explorers of the American west. And it was in the Northwest that Church found producer Phil Ek (Built to Spill, The Shins, Band of Horses), who added the finishing touches to the EP. Following that, a month-long residency last fall at Los Angeles’ Spaceland helped build Sea Wolf’s national presence — says Church, “The shows were so well received that things escalated pretty quickly.” Currently, you can catch Sea Wolf for supporting dates with Silversun Pickups. Here’s a video for “You’re A Wolf,” which we’ve linked to before. It’s worth posting again:

Sasquatch has grown to be more than a festival that folks in the Pacific Northwest countdown to, it is now on par with Coachella, and dare we way, T in the Park. With heavy hitters like Bjork and Beastie Boys trekking all the way to our fair part of the world, it is a festival force to be reckoned with.

Unlike Bumbershoot, thankfully the stages are all in close proximity and lines to see the stage aren’t such a huge issue. With this in mind, we’ve got a few picks for this year’s ’squatch:

Saturday, May 26
The Long Winters – John Roderick and co are late additions to the line-up filling in for M.I.A who, all name-related puns aside, pissed off someone at the Visa counter and couldn’t make it stateside in time for the show. The idea of seeing The Long Winters on the big stage with the grandiose mountainous backdrop is going to be something that folks are going to Flickr for weeks after the festival.

The Thermals – It is no surprise that we’d recommend that you see the Thermals any chance you get. The quartet is going to make a lot of new friends with their candid messages and infectious punk guitar chords. They’ve earned their Subpop stripes over their three-album career with some of igLiz’s songs (there are about 25 Thermals songs on her favorites list). Live, the band is relentless and even the most prissy puss gets a little sweaty.

Sunday, May 27
Clinic – Most folks might know Clinic as the band who wears surgical masks and hospital garb on stage (it certainly prevents one from being caught with broccoli in their teeth) – but, more than that, they are igLiz’s favorite Liverpudlian band. Like the Thermals, they’ve recently released their third album (Visitations) and also like the Thermals (it always comes back to the Thermals doesn’t it?) they are also in the school of relentless indie-rock. Clinic have awkward-boy vocals over unyielding bass guitar and nervous keyboards. It sounds menacing, but actually it’s quite tasty.

Smoosh - Indie rockers pride themselves on being able to say “I knew {insert band name here} when they were playing {insert name of small venue here}. Now that the Smoosh sisters have entered their teens, we find ourselves saying “We knew Smoosh when Chloe was just 9 years old and we have an interview to prove it!” Regardless of who-knew-who-first, Smoosh continues to play their fun pop into their teens. Rumor has it they’ve been playing some songs with their littlest sister on bass. Hopefully we can meet her at Sasquatch!

Yippee for three day weekends!
