What's coming up:
I asked to cover Field Music (official / myspace) because they are supporting The Clientele on this upcoming tour. Since I liked Clientele, it's assumed that I will enjoy Field Music.
Field Music are two brothers, Peter and David Brewis, out of Sunderland, England and just released a double album this year. I'm almost positive that they'll be playing quite a bit of those 20 new tracks on this tour, which they are kicking off in Minneapolis. If you're going to this show, come say hi!
Las Rubias del Norte (official / myspace) is a band based out of New York, and generally known for their Latina-music.
Co-found of Las Rubias del Norte (the blondes from the north), Olivier Conan explains: "We use Latin music a little bit like the rest of the world uses rock’n’roll, because before rock’n’roll, there was the clave." (the rhythmic pattern that is the heart of Afro-Cuban/Latin music)
It should be interesting to hear "the clave" in their songs, as they are on a tiny tour promoting their third album, Ziguala.
They are promoting their new album, Spirit Youth to be out on May 18th on Kanine Records, which singer Kurt Feldman explains is "is heavy but it’s not very shoegaze. The influence is there, but if you hear an actual 'shoegaze record', it doesn’t sound like us at all."
I'll keep that in mind at 7th Street.
Zechs Marquise (myspace) is described as a "The Mars Volta sibling band". And fans of Mars Volta, and probalby At The Drive-In, should take note about this North American tour with RX Bandits and The Builders And The Butchers.
Secretly Canadian liked them so much that they've signed the band on their label, with a pending sophomore album coming soon. I have agreed to see them in Minneapolis, to hear their "unique sound".
I am going to see if we can attempt an interview, but judging from my busy schedule and the lack of time to listen to their album... we'll see how it goes.
In the meantime, they are touring all across the country, plus the UK later on:
