I don't really go out much, but just a reminder that I am doing a few Triple Rock shows in Minneapolis: Royal Concept and Wombats, TONIGHT, Dragonette, Tomorrow, and JBM/Alt-J on September 22nd. If you see me, come say hi.

THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART
thepainsofbeingpureatheart.com
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart was one of the first band we wrote about, Randy introduced them as "On the surface the loud, fuzzy guitars may remind one of The Jesus and Mary Chain or My Bloody Valentine, but the underlying melodies and vocals are more dreamy and "poppy"." That was in 2007, by now, I'm sure you've all heard about them.
The band announced their new 7" single "Jeremy" with b-side "My Life is Wrong." The single featured covers of two of their favorite bands: The Magnetic Fields and East River Pipe. It is coming out October 9th, 2012, via Slumberland.
Singer Peggy Wang explained about the Magnetic Fields cover, "The Magnetic Fields, for me, were part of an immature phase. I know that has negative connotations, but in hindsight, I don't think I could have fallen harder for any other band at any other time in my life… The Magnetic Fields might have been the last band I ever unconditionally loved without ever stopping to try to understand why - just the kind of love story I hoped to one day live through."
They are currently on tour:
