Today's Quick Mention:
You need to
come down to the
Mohawk tonight to celebrate
No
Play Music's release of the
Sour Notes and
Marmalakes split 7". Naturally, both
bands will be playing, but they'll also be joined by Speak,
the Calm Blue Sea, Roky Moon And Bolt, Follow That Bird,
Buxton, and Technicolor Hearts. That's a lineup full
of sweet victory, and you shouldn't miss it. Doors are
at 7pm. Tix are a silly $8.
The
Sour Notes are one of the hardest working bands in
Austin, and I feel as though songs like this one
serve as proof. Why? Because this number
has all sorts of stuff going on it.
That might make you think it's a cluttered mess, but
it isn't. The band, like always, has put in
the necessary effort to make it work, and the end
result is a track that makes for a great listen. So,
throw on some headphones and get to it.
While I
really like both songs that make up the split, I
think the Marmalakes tune is my favorite. It's
a rather well crafted piece of pop that features
some great vocal work and a fantastic arrangement
that's loose and playful. Expect to find it
infectious enough to leave on repeat for probably
far too long. By the way, these guys are on
the way up, and you should jump on their bandwagon
now.
