Found in: Music, NewsRhymes With Five: Gossip Girl stole my iPod
Has Alexandra Patsavas invaded my brain? Or just my music collection? Is there even a difference anymore? Which is creepier? I don't know. I just know that whenever I watch Gossip Girl (which is, um, like, every Monday night) I end up asking myself these questions. This is because, by and large, the music soundtracking all the those Upper East Side breakups, hookups, freakouts and breakdowns is shockingly, embarassingly, undeniably good. Or, at least, I like it. ... read more

In November, we brought you a brilliantly titled news story that reported on Band of Horses’ then-upcoming tour, and in December, we gave you a generically titled story about a particularly notable date in Louisville. Well, the future is now, the tour is underway, and there are some more dates to add. The band will be playing with Cass McCombs until Feb. 12, and on the following day, it will perform at the Tibet House Benefit in New York with Sufjan Stevens and Philip Glass, amongst others. After its inevitably meditative performance at Carnegie Hall, the band will head to... read more

Festivals just aren’t as impressive as they used to be. Once, the word would conjure up images of revelry, rock, and fires started by Limp Bizkit fans, but somehow, the thrill is gone. That is, of course, unless said festival is Louisville’s Forecastle Festival. Why single out this particular event? Because it’s the only festival that holds a concert to celebrate the fact that it’s still six months away. Yes, essentially Forecastle is holding a pre-festival festival, which is obviously amazing. Maybe more amazing than burning pyres of portable bathrooms. But what really propels Halfway To Forecastle to stratospheric levels... read more

Although the term “Southern rock” has traditionally evoked muttonchop sideburns and the devil going down to Georgia, the genre's tapestry also includes the kaleidoscopic psychedelia of early R.E.M. and the reverb-limned keening of My Morning Jacket... read more

Having bucked off the oppressive yolk of Wal-Mart sponsorship and hopped into a Ford instead, Band of Horses is set to travel cross-country. The band's latest tour starts off in Atlanta for a sold-out trio of gigs at The Earl, followed by a spate of gigs across the East Coast, Midwest, the South and Florida. Once this tour concludes, the group will leap the pond for a 19-date European journey. Here are those North American dates: December 28 - Atlanta, Ga. @ The Earl (sold out) 29 - Atlanta, Ga. @ The Earl (sold out) 31 - Atlanta, Ga. @... read more
Found in: Music, NewsBand of Horses dumps Wal-Mart, lives better
Ever since Of Montreal landed a medium-rare wad of cash from Outback Steakhouse, things have gotten a bit weird in the world of indie sponsorships. Wilco teamed with Volkswagen, the Go! Team abandoned its previous policy of no music for ads, and then Band of Horses dropped a bombshell on us: using material from Everything All The Time to shill for Wal-Mart? The world's 19th largest economy? Whoa, guys... isn't that crossing some sort of line? Apparently, lead Horse Ben Bridwell agrees. In a phone interview with In-Forum.com, Bridwell announced that his band was pulling out of its deal with... read more

Fresh off a round of stellar gigs at CMJ Music Marathon, Band of Horses, those aptly-bearded Pacific Northwesterners-turned-bona-fide Southerners, (they drive a beat-up Ford F-150 just like your grandpa) are headed back on tour. When they aren’t burning up the charts, um, well, the alternative specialty radio charts, listen for Ben Bridwell and Co. at your local Wal-Mart. Enough links; tour, tour, tour: November: 1 - Raleigh, N.C. @ Lincoln Theatre * 2 - Washington, D.C. @ 9:30 Club * 3 - Providence, R.I. @ Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel * 4 - New York, N.Y. @ Terminal 5 * 6 -... read more
