A great show this evening that I want to remind you of is taking place over in Newport at the historic Southgate House. Two great Tennessee bands will be taking the stage tonight, The Features and Hotpipes. Hotpipes are releasing a brand new album today as well, Future Bolt, [...]
Here is a show that has gotten little to no pub around town that I can find that should be loads of fun. The debut album from the 1990’s is one of my favorite debuts from 2007, and the Scottish boys making such an early trip to our area is a rare and exciting treat.
I fear that this will be grossly under attended so do your best to try and come out Sunday night at the Southgate House to support a great new band and give them a reason to consider playing in our fair city again down the road.
The band just played last night at CMJ with British Sea Power and Pela.
Check out this song and video for a sample of 1990’s….

Just in case you forgot, The Fiery Furnaces and all their glory will be taking the stage tonight at the Southgate House in Newport. Their new album, Widow City, also hits stores today from Thrill Jockey records and may very well be their best yet.
I have not seen the Friedebergers since last summer for their set at Desdemona, which was a face melter, to be certain. I’m of course hoping for more of the same this evening. Enjoy this song from the new album and be sure to come on our tonight!

Just in case you did not already know about this great show tonight, Silversun Pickups Sea Wolf are hitting up the Southgate House tonight. Silversun have been and touring their album, Carnavas for over a year now and they are beginning to pick up even more steam. The band is now getting some really big crossover attention from just about everywhere and they are not to be missed live. I have seen them twice since Carnavas was released and it was
Sea Wolf on the other hand, are not quite at that level but are a worthy opener for SSPU. These guys have wowed many this year as well, including me, with their debut EP, Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low. And now the band are getting prepped to release their debut full length on September 25th titled, Leaves in the River.

A great show tonight here in town, be sure to get yourself over to Decibel Lounge, or Alchemize, not sure what the hell they are calling it anymore tonight for two excellent bands. Ra Ra Riot are out in support of their debut EP, which is self titled, that was released earlier this month. In addition, RRR will be in the Lounge this afternoon on WOXY.com, tune in at about 4pm for the session.
And you also get Mason Proper, who are still out touring There Is A Moth In Your Chest, another great record. This is seriously an excellent couple of bands playing together in a smallish room in town tonight, do not miss it.

So, the SXSW week is over, and I know I have way more energy now than those that attended the festival and had an amazing time. I hope everyone enjoyed audio coverage from Mike, I thought it was fun. I’m starting off this Monday morning with a reminder that Ratatat is at the Southgate House tonight, it’s really a show you should make a point to be at. The most recent album from them, Classics, is an absolute gem. So, be sure to head down to Newport tonight if you are in the area and take in what should be a great show.
It’s a 10$ show if you buy in advance on the SG website, and it’s 12$ at the door. The show should go off around 10pm.
Ratatat - Wildcat
