Weekend Playlist - 9/23

It's been awhile since i've posted one of these (or anything on the site for that matter). Unfortunately, still busy and pressed for time, so i'm conveniently borrowing from Suburban Home Records.

Great mix of stuff from bands that played during the Denver label's 16th Anniversary, weekend long, show earlier this month.

Suburban Home picks up The Evening Rig

Suburban Home Records is at it again. Fresh off signing Have Gun Will Travel, the Denver based label has adopted The Evening Rig, a superb band out of Minneapolis, and will be helping to release their new album, "Nothin' to Hear," due out in late 2011/early 2012.

If you aren't familiar with The Evening Ring, the group features former members of The Crush, Cardinal Sin, and Cadillac Blindside and could easily pass as a resurrected version of the Replacements or the greatest bar band you've ever heard. Just great heartfelt rock music and drinkin music (actually self-described as "midwestern beer-soaked rock n roll").

But, since it's hard for me to really do them justice through that description, you can listen to this 11 song sampler comprised of a collection of tracks from the band’s first 2 albums, “Never Been’er” (2007), and “Is Doin’ Stuff” (2009).

HGWT signs to Suburban Home

After self releasing their 2010 (and second full length) album entitled "Postcards from a Friendly City," Bradenton, FL based (and my wife's new favorite) band Have Gun Will Travel has signed to Suburban Home Records (home of two cow garage, tim barry, austin lucas, drag the river etc.) who will release their new album "Mergers & Aquisitions" this fall. After seeing and meeting these guys at SXSW, I'm certainly looking forward to the release.

If you haven't heard anything by them. You can stream "Postcards . . ." below.

Also, Suburban Home Records has announced that Micah Schnabel (of Two Cow Garage) will be entering Hi/Lo Studios with Matthew Smith (who recorded Two Cow Garage’s “Sweet Saint Me”) on July 1st to record his new album entitled, “I’m Dead, Serious,” the follow up to his outstanding “When the Stage Lights Go Dim”. No release date has been set, but it is tentatively set to be out this Fall.

If you haven't heard it you can listen to Micah’s first album, (and many other Suburban Home releases) here. Just drag the album's cover to the left to start the player. It is WELL worth your time. Also, save a link to the listening station for great access to albums by Drag the River (and individual members), Austin Lucas, Tim Barry, Two Cow, Cory Branan etc. etc.


. . . and (for me) probably best for last, Hot Water Music has signed to Rise Records and will heading into the studio this fall to record a full length album(their first since 2004)with an anticipated release date in Spring 2012.






oh yeah, Wilco has announced its new album "The Whole Love" will be released domestically on September 27 (unfortunately these days this news fails to excite me). Fall tour dates are on their site. For local folks who are interested they'll be at Merriweather on September 25.

all for now.
