JAIL WEDDINGS
neuroticyellrecords.com
At one point, Jail Weddings were billed as Los Angeles' "biggest band". Looking over their old photographs, there were at least ten band members. Not quite Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros or I'm From Barcelona, but it's still a good number than the typical rock 'n roll four piece.
Jail Weddings' new single is "(There's Nothing Worse In The World Than A) Crying Girl", from a new EP called Four Future Standards, via the Neurotic Yell label. The CD got released May 21st, while the digital version is coming out June 11th (which sounds a bit backwards).
From my understanding, the band is now stripped down to four key members: Jada Wagensomer (vocals), Hannah Blumenfeld (violin) and Josh Puklavetz (bass) with drums by Mike Shelbourn. I can understand this; I mean it's hard to organize a plan with two people, let alone ten…
Anyway, having seen some large/oversized bands, I have to say that they're best experienced live. Will the new four-piece Jail Weddings live up to that expectation? Let me know, since they're playing nowhere near me.

ROYAL HEADACHE
facebook.com
Australia's Royal Headache is coming to the USA in June (they were supposed to be here earlier in late May, but due to visa complications, their first landing is in June 1st in Austin, Texas). They are touring for their self-titled debut album that was released in early May via What's Your Rupture?. They are described as R&B and punk songs, which is quite an interesting mix. See the music video for their song, "Girls", if you need to hear it for yourself.
I think the more exciting news is that they're going to be touring arenas in Australia with the Black Keys in October… so if you're lucky enough to see them at a smaller venue this June - go for it.
If things work out, Megan will be making her return to W♥M to cover their appearance at the Triple Rock in Minneapolis.

| slavetothecity.com The result of DJ Silver Medallion teamup with Brooklyn producer Dave Edwards is a song called "American Girl". Described as a "huge summer house anthem", which you can hear for yourself on soundcloud.com. | thegospelofrhythmrecordings.com There were no details on this band and I'm too lazy to actually do the research. I am assuming they're from the planet Earth. The problem also is their ungooglable name of Baby Baby. Anyway, their new single is called "Don't Kiss The Merch Girl" which was taken from their debut album, Money, released one year ago in May 2011. |
