Finally heard a new Strokes song that I thought was worthy of the blog.  Enjoy...and we'll see how the how the whole new CD, Angles, is in 1 week (out March 22).  Catch them this week at SXSW.

The Strokes meets The Vaccines with shades of The Ramones and The Drums - meet Howler, a group of young kids from Minneapolis showing the adults how to do it (see also an earlier post re: Evans The Death). Get your tickets to see them on March 23 at the Echo.

Driftwood is excited to check in with bunch of great bands at this weekend's FYF Fest in Downtown LA.  From Little Dragon, Real Estate and Slowdive to Angel Olsen, Blood Orange and The Strokes, it's a great reason (...the only?!) to hang out near the Coliseum.  One band we haven't seen in a few years will be playing Saturday night prior to releasing their 5th album (and first without bassist Carlos Dengler), El Pintor, on Sept. 9th.  And if you can't catch them this weekend, they'll be back to play Pomona's Fox Theater on Sept. 22nd.  Please to enjoy "All the Rage Back Home".

Your fun summer album is here. Hailing from NYC, The Postelles bring to mind the energy and vivaciousness of early Strokes mixed in with a little Kooks. Their self-titled debut album is full of catchy hooks and melodies to keep your head bobbing and toes tapping all summer. Catch them in LA at the Echo on June 28. And special thanks to our friend at chromewaves radio for turning me onto them!
