New Francis & The Lights record out TODAY!

** The first EVER showcase inside the Mill **

Bear Hands and Rumspringa will be playing at the Mill next Tuesday night as part of a showcase hosted with Cantora Records (the same peeps that brought us MGMT, Francis & the Lights, and others)

Check this teaser video that MTVu made for Rumspringa at SXSW last year

Tickets will go on sale later this week, and will sell out fast (we can only fit 150 people inside). Stay tuned for more info..

Violens - Already Over

This is a video remix done by Caroline Polachek, using the song “Already Over” by the Violens. Think Beach Boys meets the Shins with a little bit of new-waveish original flavor, the Violens have been touring with Grizzly Bear and MGMT. Their label, Cantora Records, describes them:

“Violens songs conjure descriptions of nightmares, the passing of time, speculations on spiritual messages, and accounts of psychedelic hallucinations. Even their most frenetic guitar work and aggressive rhythms are draped in a gauze of reverberant, harmonized vocals and synths which create a sense of creepy, artificial comfort. A fitting characterization, lyrically and musically, for a group whose name sounds like a melding of the words ‘violence’ and ‘violins’”

Hopefully we’ll get them to play the Mill sometime soon

This is a band I’d love to see play at the Mill next year.
