In preparation for the ticket sale of Morrissey's "upcoming" show on April 12th, press officials were hard at work drafting a subsequent cancellation email on Tuesday.
"With delicate situations like these, it's best to be prepared," said Frank Shankly, director of press and promotions. "I figure we can push this puppy out in a couple of weeks, make any necessary embellishments, and watch San Antonio burn."
“Texas is great for us because it feels like you’re going to a different country, but it’s a cool different country,” Eisold said. “Texas always has good shows. People are super welcoming and warm.”
When I sat down between Eisold and Max to talk about Cold Cave, I pointed my questions towards Eisold under the assumption that he would want to be the one to speak about his project. Yet asking about why Drab Majesty was a good fit for the tour Eisold said “we connect more with what they’re doing musically”. Later on he would talk about how The Idea of Love, one of his latest singles, was currently everybody's favorite song to play.
“I think it’s a bit of relief at the end of the set,” Eisold said. “It kinda comes in with this sort of bone head beat which, is kind of refreshing after a bit more frantic songs. It represents the three of us in Cold Cave, at this point in time pretty well.”
Born in the bleak isolation of the secluded prairie city of Edmonton, Canada, Homeshake's Peter Sagar worked with friends in a number of local bands before picking up and moving to Montreal in 2011 to begin recording under the Homeshake moniker. Started immediately following the recording of his sophomore LP Midnight Snack, Fresh Air continues Sagar’s exploration of dreamy, downtempo bedroom R&B and draws inspiration from such disparate artists like Sade, The Band, Broadcast, Prince, and Angelo Badalamenti.

KRTU just got Cloud Nothing's new album in the mail, and it isn't as bad as we thought! Frontman Dylan Baldi's project has released his band's fourth album with Carpark Records, and the sound just keeps changing. What was once a bedroom recording project without a cause has evolved into something stronger, has been polished since its birth from the DIY roors. NPR released an article about this album that is worth citing...
Sources reported on Wednesday that Ty Segall, 29, was cleaning up the remains of a heavy metal vomit party when a serendipitous interaction occurred between his foot and a prized Fender Jaguar.
“Next thing I knew, an entire concept album was born,” said Segall, playing a few tracks from his computer. “These are just some demos--the whole thing should be finished in a day or so.”
If you're in Austin during SXSW, we hope you'll join us at KRTUesday: Live Rooftop Showcase. This live-broadcast rooftop concert featuring San Antonio artists will take place on a 6th Street venue in the heart of Austin, TX on Tuesday, March 14th, right in the middle of SXSW.
It's John Morgan here, KRTU Indie Overnite intern, introducing new music from Austinite Matthew Squires. Critics are hailing his new album, Tambaleo, as cosmic-folksy gold, and it's always great to see recognition of a Texas musician on a national scale. Hopefully we can get him through San Antonio at some point. In the mean time, take a listen and read a bit of what his promoters had to say about the album Tambaleo...
"The styles and influences of the arrangements vary widely from track to track, drawing from artists as diverse as Television, Paul Simon, and early Modest Mouse. The songs consistently manage to surprise with a peculiar — even ironically self-aware — twist on a tried-and-true approach. Squires has taken up and fully met the challenge of drawing a great amount of influence from a wide variety of artists, while managing to tie them all together in a way that is wholly unique.
In an era with so much music so widely available, it’s a great relief to hear something which stands out so firmly. Tambaleo is an album of truly masterful songwriting which offers to touch your heart, mind, and spirit in one stroke, leaving you a little better off than you were before you heard it."

For those of you in the "scene" who need a break from the Sufjan Stevens Christmas discography, I present to you ten songs that will send you running straight back into his folk-rock arms. For some of these tracks, the horror is exacerbated by the music videos themselves, which I encourage you to watch at your leisure. They may not all be indie, but they certainly make for some "alternative" listening.
