The video represents Greycoats‘ emotional and dreamy sound very well. The song itself has been featured on Gossip Girl and is on their latest album, Watchman, What Is Left Of The Night?

Greycoats – Goodbye, Sweet Youth, Goodbye
For those of you who have already heard the leaked version of dredg’s fourthalbum, The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion, consider yourself lucky. The album itself is a monumental achievement for the well respected Los Gatos, CA band. This is the German single off their new album and is already blowing people’s minds.
You can pre-order The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion here.
In celebration of the pre-release of Illinois’ ‘The Adventures of Kid Catastrophe’ Deluxe edition exclusively on iTunes right now, here’s their goofball short film about the Adventures of Kid Catastrophe.
You’ve probably noticed that I am totally gay for spazz-rockers The Mae Shi. So you can imagine my childlike glee when I found out about this video from SXSW of the song Run To Your Grave featuring Slow Club and Kid Static. Many thanks to the Brooklyn based music blog Hooves on the Turf.
The Mae Shi – Run To Your Grave
This Deco Dawson video for Metric’sHelp I’m Alive is kind of like a bubbly version of Luis Buñuel’s Un chien andalo. Which makes for a pretty interesting watch…
A sweet video from a sweet band (Carina Round) playing a sweet (yet sad) song.
I was hard-pressed to know that the day I fly out to Boston is the same day Great Lake Swimmers play the Bottom of the Hill. This wouldn’t be that much of a problem if I didn’t love their new album, Lost Channels, so much. No matter, I’m happy with seeing the brilliant Chad VanGaalen and Women perform at the same venue this Tuesday.
If you haven’t already noticed, noise-freak rockers The Mae Shi and pre have been invading the Bay Area. They swung by the Berkley Amoeba Records and San Francisco’s Hemlock Tavern on Friday, Visalia on Saturday, and will be playing at Your House in Oakland tonight with Religious Girls. You can also catch them this week at…
03/30 Los Altos – KFJC live
03/30 San Jose – Nickel City
03/31 Santa Cruz – Crepe Place
Also tonight is Goapele at Yoshi’s Oakland, Emiliana Torrini at The Independent, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy at the Orchard Spotlight in Santa Rosa (who will also be playing the Fillmore the following day), and The Bronx at Rickshaw Stop. In fact, Rickshaw Stop is kind of busy with Sebastien Grainger on Monday and Kid Sister on Wednesday. Well, Kid Sister cancelled (AGAIN!), so nevermind.
RATATAT sold out the Fillmore for both Thursday and Friday. So keep checking craiglist if you haven’t bought tickets yet.
The Bottom of the Hill will be hosting White Denim on Thursday and Lily Allen and Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head visit the Warfield Theatre this Saturday.
Are you enjoying Noise Pop Festival? Well if you live out here in Bay Area you should or a least should have. You see, Noise Pop wraps up today with No Age at the Bottom of the Hill and Les Savy Fav and The Mae Shi at the Mezzanine. I unfortunately have been missing out due to a extremely busy work schedule. But what I’ve been hearing from The Bay Bridged, ipickmynose and Hippies are Dead, it’s been going very well. The rest of this week looks promising as well. Particularly this Thursday with M.Ward at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, theSTART at the Bottom of the Hill, Soilwork at Slim’s, Pop Levi at The Independent, Cut Off Your Hands at Popscene, and The Limousines at the Rickshaw Stop. Another good week in the Bay Area. See you out there!
