FRIDAY

:: sam mickens ecstatic showband & revue ::

[via myspace / Elizabeth Leitzell]

crazy big band led by Sam Mickens from Dead Science

“Sam Mickens (guitar) wields a ghostly tenor reminiscent of Chet Baker and Roy Orbison (yes, I’m aware those are tall orders, so trust me), but this sound is far from retro. I’m shy about making comparisons as they just don’t sound like anyone. This is a new chapter in the book of songs, my friends.” -Absolutely Kosher

SATURDAY

:: the beets ::

[via thepiratehat]

new york’s finest purveyor’s of tapehiss pop

“Among the many things we love about the Beets is … their effortless take on 60s garage-rock, less of the poppy, Beatles-aping variety that’s typically associated with the era, but more of a rhythmic, plodding variety, with guitars that seem every bit as percussive as the drums, and snotty, joint vocals that are almost chanted more than sung.” -L magazine

:: she keeps bees ::

[via myspace / Adriana Jovanovic]

“She Keeps Bees are a rare entity, a minimalist setup with a rich, complex sound. Bluesy, overdriven guitar strums built around simple drum beats and an emotive, howling voice, the songs leave plenty of space for singer Jess Larrabee to fill with lovelorn stories and her breathtaking voice.” -229 UK
