Today's Quick Mention: Tonight our
friends over at
Ultra8201
are having a show at the Swan Dive to celebrate
their sixth year of existence. You should go.
TV Torso, the Politics, and Young Girls are set to
play. Tix are a very affordable $5.
Doors should be open at 9pm.
Good news! The Jesse Elliot-lead group of
folks known as These United States have readied a
new album. Check out the first single below.
The self titled LP, which is the band's fifth full
length, features a slew of guest artists (Michael
Nau of Cotton Jones, Laura Burhenn of Mynabirds,
David Moore of Langhorne Slim, and plenty more) and
is expected out June 12 via United Interests.
Enjoy.
:These
United States - Dead And Gone: It's hard to listen to this and not want to call it Jack
White-light. Such a comment, of course, is far from
being a bad thing, but for some reason it doesn't seem
entirely fair. Anyhow, I really dig the track, and I'm
excited to hear what else fills the new album. Maybe
I'll make some plans to try and catch the band at SXSW.
