Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros announce new North American tour dates

It seems like just yesterday (it was actually September…) when Jamie posted about Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros touring all over the country and “driving around in a converted school bus and playing music like it’s 1969 all over again”. Well, these ladies and gents move quickly with their shows, and they’re […]

[MP3] Pattern Is Movement: "Light of the World"

Bearded Philadelphia duo Pattern Is Movement are hard at work on a new album to follow up 2008’s All Together, but in the meantime they’ll be offering up a limited EP as part of their soon-to-begin U.S. tour (which kicks off in D.C.! See dates below). On said EP […]

The Hold Steady announce U.S. tour dates

Normally news about The Hold Steady would come from Lee or Jon, our resident Hold Steady experts, but due to schedule restraints you’ll hear it from me! Now, I shouldn’t get your hopes up too high. When I say “U.S.” it really means “the northeast” and when I say “tour dates” it means […]
