100 Damned Guns Photos

We went to Cowtown to check out the 100 Damned Guns CD release show at Fred's Texas Cafe last night.   By the time we got there we missed AM Ramblers and the Make Believers which sucked.  I was hoping to to at least catch the ol' Ramblers, but Fred's wasn't the easiest place to find since it's on a dark street and the street sign isn't actually on the street.  So, by the time we found the place we missed everyone except for the Guns.  However, I did really digs Fred's, I'm going to have to go back and have a burger there, they looked really good.

You can check out pictures from the show here and here.  You can check us out on the Facebook or the Myspace and you can even be out friend.  If you click the badges on the right you can check out our profile.

100 Damned Guns Album Release Saturday

Ft. Worth's finest Honky Tonk heroes are celebrating the release of their new album Musica de Tormento this Saturday at Fred's Texas Cafe in Ft. Worth.  If you remember we hipped you to three new songs of theirs a while back.  So, seeing as my plans to go out of town this weekend have been scrapped, I believe I will be heading to Cowtown for the show.  Denton's AM Ramblers and the Make Believers will be playing as well.

Sorta CD Release

I told you last week that Sorta plans on having a CD release party to celebrate their new self-titled album. Well, it will be October 21 at The Pontiac Garage (formerly Cambridge Room) inside the House of Snooze.

It's odd they would venture away from the Granada though. Their party for Strange and Sad But True was a huge turn out for the Granada. So, I'm not sure TPG will be able to hold all the peeps wanting to attend. I'm sure it will be a sold out event. But, it should be a great show. The PG is a great intimate venue and the band should be able to put on another great show there.

Kings of Leon Set Release Date For New Album

The Kings of Leon will release their fourth album, Only By The Night, on September 23rd. I can't wait! (Spin)

MP3: Kings of Leon with Eddie Vedder - Slow Night, So Long

Fleet Foxes

I can't really tell you how into this band I am.  Almost as much as I'm into SSLYBY.  But, that's for another time.  

I got this album last week in the mail and I've been listening to it non-stop ever since.  I listen to it while playing Madden, on the back patio drinkin', driving around town running errands...non-fucking-stop.  

If you were excited about the promise their Sun Giant EP held, then you will love the new LP.  It runs the gamut from folk-rock, to southern rock-ish type numbers to straight-up folky tunes.  Love it!

Yes, the My Morning Jacket/Band of Horses comparisons are going to come.  But, they pull off better harmonies than Jim James has ever attempted.  I can't wait to see them live and see if it's studio magic or if they got the chops!

The Cool Kids Bake Sale

FYI y'alls! The Cool Kids Bake Sale EP will be out 5/20. Judging from the other singles they've released it should be pretty good. It's the only hip-hop record I'm looking forward to being released.

They are also getting ready to release a mixtape, below is a track from said mixtape.

Cool Kids - Oscar (mp3)

This is one of my favorite tracks by them:

RZA Back To Bobby Digital

The genius/mastermind behind Wu-Tang Clan is set to release another album under the Bobby Digital pseudonym. Ahhhh, the RZA, so talented yet he speaks like he has marbles in his mouth. But, I do like how he ends every sentence with "Nah mean?"

The album is coming out on July 1 and will be titled Digi Snax, nah mean? (Spin)

Raconteurs Release Album

So, allegedly Jack White takes the master copy of the new Raconteur album, Consolers of The Lonely, into labels office this week and told them they wanted it to be released next week. And guess what, it will be.

The new album will be available in digital, vinyl and CD formats.
