Foxygen Touring With La Sera and Moonface 
Download MP3 For "Waitin' 4 U"

Foxygen, the bi-coastal songwriting duo of Sam France (vocals, Olympia,Wash., 22 years old) and Jonathan Rado (guitar/keyboards, NYC, 22), is now offerinig one of their best songs from the forthcoming Jagjaguwar release Take The Kids Off Broadway. "Waitin' 4 U" wildly, cleverly swings from a winking nod to Prince and Mott the Hoople bedroom glam to a grungy Disco rave up.
"Waitin' 4 U" has nestled itself into the Pitchfork.com Tracks section - our heroes described as "mining at vintage glam and pop sounds from what charmingly sounds like the inside of a cardboard box."


Take the Kids Off Broadway will be available on July 24th on vinyl and digital formats. Foxygen will be touring late this summer with La Sera and Magic Trick and early this fall with Jagjaguwar label-mate Moonface. Tour dates are below!

FEATURED THIS WEEK ON AOL SESSIONS,
ADULT SWIM SINGLES PROGRAM, AND MAGNET MAGAZINE COVER

The Hives - Lex Hives
The Hives  will return to the U.S. this Fall for a West Coast run in support of their lauded new album Lex Hives. Kicking off September 6 in Vancouver, the band will make stops in Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Oakland, Las Vegas and more. Tickets go on sale this Friday, June 29. The September tour will expand on the band's current U.S. outing, which kicked off last week to a sold-out Washington D.C. crowd and has seen immense praise, with Philadelphia Inquirer proclaiming "The Hives have been single-handedly saving rock and roll," and the Washington Times stating "The Hives played the audience like a fiddle." Similarly, MTV praises their "Superhuman capacity for consistent excellency," and SPIN anoints Howlin' Pelle Almqvist as "one of the greatest front-men in rock."

Also launching this week is the band's exclusive performance for AOL Sessions filmed in front of a live, fan-filled studio audience in New York City. Click HERE to watch a Q&A with the band as well as their session performance featuring new tracks "Go Right Ahead," "Wait A Minute," "Come On," and "1000 Answers," in addition to old favorites "Hate To Say I Told You So" and "Tick Tick Boom."

The Hives were selected to take part in this year's exclusive Adult Swim's Singles Program, which features free downloads from 12 bands over the course of 12 weeks. This week's offering is The Hives' unreleased live version of "Go Right Ahead," recorded in one take at Benny Andersson's RMV Studio in Stockholm during the recording of Lex Hives. The band also recently unveiled the official video for "Go Right Ahead," which you can watch HERE.

The Hives will be featured on the July cover of MAGNET Magazine. Available to preorder now, Magnet proclaims ""Situated halfway between the primordial raunch 'n' roll of AC/DC and the primeval roar of the Stooges, Lex Hives brings a bazooka to the proverbial knife fight. Light fuse, run away." They go on to assert, "Message: The Hives are back in business - the business, that is, of kicking motherfucking ass."

The band's newest album Lex Hives is also receiving worldwide praise, with NME declaring "Let it be said that Lex Hives is amazing," and Q Magazine's 4-star review asserting "Lex Hives fizzes with the energy of a debut album, the quintet emphatically back to what they do best." Likewise, The Independent states, "If Lex Hives has one fault, it's that it makes you want to switch it off, go straight out and see the Hives live," and Entertainment Weekly proclaims "The Hives have returned to remind us the Swedes do it better."

The Hives are Howlin' Pelle Almqvist, Nicholaus Arson, Chris Dangerous, Dr. Matt Destruction, and Vigilante Carlstroem.

THE RAVEONETTES PREMIERE NEW SONG "OBSERVATIONS"


 
THE RAVEONETTES PREMIERE NEW SONG "OBSERVATIONS" 
ON ROLLING STONE 
 
NEW ALBUM OBSERVATOR OUT SEPTEMBER 11TH ON VICE
 
 
 
To get fans excited, The Raveonettes' premiered their new song "Observations" on Rolling Stone.com yesterday. This first track comes from the duo's upcoming album "Observator" out September 11th on Vice Records.

Approved embed link for "Observations"
http://www.vicerecords.com/vicerecords/download/the_raveonettes-observations.mp3

Songwriter Sune Rose Wagner says, "Observations is sort of the blue print for this album. It captures a universal feeling of the outsider in his daily life, his longing and losses in love and his primordial instinct of survival."

"Sharin [Foo] and I went into the legendary Sunset Sound Studios for a week - where The Doors recorded a lot of their classic albums. It was there that a new dimension to the Raveonettes began to develop. The song Observations is very important in that respect; it's the first time we've ever used the piano and what a glorious, gloomy sound it makes. We knew immediately that it was something we needed to expand on. But make no mistake; Observator is still a gorgeous guitar album."

In support of their new album The Raveonettes will hit the road in September, playing dates in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles before wrapping up in San Francisco this October. Tour dates below.

Beachwood Sparks The Tarnished Gold out today on Sub Pop!

Watch Yours Truly video interview & Huichica Festival performance footage!

Plus - Updated tour dates

 

Beachwood Sparks first album in 11 years, The Tarnished Gold, is out today via Sub Pop. The album, led by singles "Forget The Song", "Sparks Fly Again" and "Talk About Lonesome", is available now on CD, LP and digitally.

Beachwood Sparks will celebrate the release of The Tarnished Gold with an album listening party and DJ sets from band members Farmer Dave Scher and Brent Rademaker, tonight, June 26th in Silver Lake at the Satellite.  Additionally, the band has a few California dates on the horizon: July 18th in Santa Cruz at Catalyst Club Atrium; July 19th in San Francisco at The Independent; July 19th in Pioneertown at Pappy & Harriet’s Pioneertown; and August 3rd in Los Angeles at The Echo for New LA Folk Fest kick-off party.  Full list of tour dates below.

Earlier this month, Beachwood Sparks teamed up with Yours Truly to film an interview and their Huichica Festival performance, along with a video for album track, "Forget The Song" (which will premiere in July). You can now watch the interview and performance footage, now via Sub Pop 's YouTube channel.

About Beachwood Sparks:  “The Tarnished Goldis the work of the classic Beachwood Sparks lineup: singer/guitarist Chris Gunst, singer/bassist Brent Rademaker, singer/multi-instrumentalist Farmer Dave Scher, and drummer Aaron Sperske, with invaluable support from guitarist and longtime friend Ben Knight (The Tyde). For the sessions, the band expanded to seven pieces, with guitarists Knight and Neal Casal (solo artist and former member of Ryan Adams and the Cardinals), with Dan Horne on pedal steel in place of Scher, who opted to play organ, key, flying V guitar and electrified melodica. Also lending a hand were Gunst’s wife Jen Cohen, Sparks’ very first drummer Jimi Hey, Brent’s brother Darren (leader of The Tyde) and L.A. indie-rock maestro Ariel Pink. Once We Were Trees producer Thom Monahan returned to his familiar spot behind the console(read more at Sub Pop).

What people are saying about The Tarnished Gold:
"Summer has just started, but Beachwood Sparks' first new album in 11 years takes the season to a languid peak. On only their third full-length, Sparks singer-guitarist Chris Gunst, singer-bassist Brent Rademaker, multi-instrumentalist Farmer Dave Scher, and drummer Aaron Sperske augment their lightly psychedelic, deeply entrancing shimmer with help from the likes of Ariel Pink and ex-Ryan Adams guitarist Neal Casal." [25 Summer Albums You Gotta Hear] - SPIN

“The Tarnished Gold shimmers with rare but seemingly effortless prettiness.” - NPR

“A sun-kissed collection of honest tunes that’s surprisingly relevant — but well lived in.” – ALARM

The Tarnished Gold is of a piece with their first two albums, but never a pale imitation.” [4/5 stars] – The Guardian

“It's a lovely, warm-hearted gem.” [4/5 stars] - The Independent

“Cosmically in tune and harmony-rich, they excel in presenting their colorful, kaleidoscopic view of the world.” [3.5/4 stars] – Boston Phoenix

The Tarnished Gold sees them return sounding fresh and revitalised, delivering an album that more than matches their earlier output.” – MusicOMH


"The natural flag-bearers for the 'cosmic American' music defined by Gram Parsons." - The Sunday Times
"Sounds like a prescription for uncertain times, the evergreen sigh of pedal steel soft against the prang of semi-acoustic, both wistful and resolved." - The Observer
"A beautiful summer breeze of a record." [4.5/5 stars] - The Sun
"One of the finest US bands of their time return to claim their crown. A little treasure." [4/5 stars] - The Daily Mirror
"A lovely record" - The Onion AV Club

“Specializes in richly atmospheric music laced with medieval folk elements and esoteric ethnic influences.”—New Yorker

“Blurring traditional baroque, Eastern-European, Middle-Eastern, North-African and Native-American music into ethereal soundscapes, Dead Can Dance creates an ethnic fusion that equally appeals to and unites gothic, chant and world-beat enthusiasts.” —The Chicago Tribune
Critically acclaimed duo Dead Can Dance are set to release their first studio album of new material on August 9 marking their first new recordings since 1996’s Spiritchaser. In support of the album, this summer principle members Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry will embark on a worldwide tour bringing them to four continents during an eight month period.

Perry and Gerrard began working on ideas and writing songs in the autumn of 2011 for the new album.

Forming in Australia more than 30 years ago, Gerrard and Perry have created ten critically acclaimed pioneering albums including the classic Into The Labyrinth in 1993 and the 2005 retrospective Memento. The New York Times describes Dead Can Dance as “mixing elements of western medieval music, world-beat and synth –rocks magisterial sweep.” In the past six months, the band has released a series of four track EP’s via their website www.deadcandance.com.

The Cult "Honey From A Knife"

THE CULT'S "HONEY FROM A KNIFE" 
DROPS AT RADIO THIS WEEK


LOS ANGELES, CA - (Monday, June 25, 2012) -- "Honey From a Knife," the lead- off track from The Cult's critically-acclaimed new studio album Choice of Weapon, hits radio this week.  The song, rooted in the seductiveness of addiction, has been singled out in numerous media reviews for its raw energy, sexual rhythms, Duffy's knife-edge guitars and Astbury's impassioned vocals, all woven around the song's mesmerizing chorus, "We got the drugs, the drugs in here."  Click here to hear the track.

As one reviewer put it, "'Honey From a Knife' is pure rock and roll, as catchy as it is shocking."

"Honey From a Knife" will also be available as a ringtone via all carriers in the U.S beginning Tuesday, June 26.

Choice of Weapon, released May 22, has received stellar press reviews, the consensus being that it is The Cult's best album in years.  The UK's Mojo gave it a Five Star review, Entertainment Weekly tagged it with an A-, Magnet said it was "as epic and compelling as nearly anything in The Cult's catalogue," The UK's Q magazine called it "brilliant," the Phoenix New Times wrote "everything clicks," and MSN stated simply that it was "their best album in 20 years."

The Cult's recent live performances also created a stir with the Hollywood Reporter who observed the band live in New York as having "returned with a vengeance," and referring to Astbury as "a menacing tyrant of cool."  The band - Ian Astbury/vocals, Billy Duffy/guitars, Chris Wyse/bass, John Tempesta/drums - completed its initial assault on the U.S.A. at the Los Angeles Palladium this past Saturday with alt/rockers Against Me! in support.  The Cult heads to Europe later this week for a three-week tour of headlining dates and festivals where the band will share stages with Patti Smith, Garbage, Wolf Mother, and Jack White, among others.
