The
songs keep pouring out from SOTO favorite
Leatherbag.
After releasing an album and an EP last July, Randy
Reynolds and Co. have now put together a collection
of tracks known as Ditto Time. It's in
preparation for an upcoming
mini-tour
in early March, and the band is offering the set of
tunes for a name your own price download on
Bandcamp.
As an added content bonus, they also have a new
Christopher Kim-directed
video
for "Teenage Creeps" from the Patience EP.
I've
seen the name
Grape St
floating around in recent months have
been curious to check them out as the band includes
members from Harlem and Frank Smith. I haven't seen
them perform yet but I've been enjoying the
infectious and upbeat tune, "A Date With You." Love
those jangly, ringing guitar riffs! You can catch
them play tonight at
Hotel Vegas:
In the
past few months, my music world has intersected with
my working world. Imagine my surprise running into
someone I met playing at shows at my workplace. I
met Marc Hoegg last year as a member of Elaine Greer
and Friends (on bass guitar and backing vocals). He
is also a singer and songwriter in his own right as
a member of the local indie rock quartet,
Easy, Tiger.
They released 2 EPs on
Bandcamp
in late 2011. Weezer is an obvious influence, and
that's alright with me. I'm looking forward to
hearing more from them this year. In the meantime,
the catchy tune "My Current State of Affairs" is
getting many repeat listens and might just stay
stuck in my head for awhile.
