TONIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO: JAGUAR LOVE + JAPANTHER @ GAMH

SF friends, tonight @ the gorgeous Great American Music Hall in the Loin, it's a couple bands we fully support around FSHQ - JAGUAR LOVE and JAPANTHER. That's quite a tag team for a Sunday night, and I'm guessing they toss a coin to see who headlines each night from the tour name. Tickets are here.

FRIDAY @ SXSW - HERE'S ONE WAY TO SPEND YOUR ENTIRE DAY

Hopefully this early AM hazy mist will burn off and we'll have another scorcher like yesterday, but you should start your day off with us at Shangri-La for Day 3 of 4 of THE RUMBLE @ SXSW. Today's line up is about diversity, ranging from Seattle's HEY MARSEILLES to a 12 piece soul band from Milawaukee (KINGS GO FORTH) to the piano driven CHASING KINGS to the perfect party band, CASXIO. LA's THE TENDER BOX and PEPPER RABBIT round things out. Free.

Run back to your hotel/crash pad and switch into night mode quickly then meet us at EMO'S ANNEX for the WOXY Official SXSW showcase. The line up is listed above but you see a bunch of FS/WOXY favorites in the mix!

Finally, if you're feet are falling off, it's late night party time and THE MUSIC GYM give you a free party with free Trumer Pils beer with another line up of some of our favorites around FS including JAGUAR LOVE and RAINBOW ARABIA. The party is over on East 6th (815 E 6th).

JAGUAR LOVE CLOSES OUT THEIR WEEK OF RUMBLES IN LAS VEGAS TONIGHT

Super Bowl Sunday is no match for the FREE party taking place at The Aruba tonight when THE RUMBLE: LAS VEGAS arrives. We've watched JAGUAR LOVE start in Seattle on Monday night and systematically destroy each and every Rumble party - 6 in 7 days - down the west coast. The guys are real ballers, not only capable of starting big, but closing HUGE!

The Vegas acts representing this month are bands that bring lots of momentum to the table in the forms of KID MEETS COUGAR and PAN DE SAL. Kid Meets Cougar has a similar make-up to the Jaguar Love gang, in that it's a 2-piece that loves electronic-indie sounds, but maybe that's where the comparison ends. Check out "It's All In Your Head" on their Myspace.

Pan De Sal is so unique you'll need to catch them in person to hope to comprehend this world electro indie mix by a trio whose names are Orange Sheila, Love Pentagon and The Doodler. Think TOM TOM CLUB meets U.S.E but sang in three or four different languages.

The guest DJ this month is DJ AURAJIN

THE RUMBLE: LAS VEGAS is brought to you by Future Sounds, Las Vegas CityLive, WOXY, Spin Earth and of course, the NEON REVERB folks, our fearless partners and music/scene purveyors of Sin City.

THIS IS A FREE PARTY

THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO OPENS TONIGHT @ BAR PINK

Well, we rocked the Casbah and had a good time with a series of matinee parties and now we've moved THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO to North Park and BAR PINK. We've had our eye on this place since our friends at INDIGENOUS turned us onto Dang and company and tonight we kick off 2010 with an incredible RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO line-up.

The out-of-towner this month is the band that has absolutely wrecked The Rumble Tour this week, starting from Seattle to Thursday night's Rumble: LA - JAGUAR LOVE. It's been a total pleasure working with this band from pre-Rumble prep through the actual parties, two great guys that have taken the work done with The Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves and turned it into a mash-up of T Rex and Robert Plant meets Passion Pit on fire. Expect a party the minute you hear the first scream, and there will be a lot of them.

Supporting the J-Love are two San Diego acts that you should already know about, but we're still dating - THE DABBERS and SPIDER FEVER. The Dabbers are just the kind of rock and roll band that we love here at FS, dirty, tough, grimey, the kind of band that you'd pick to go on a bar crawl with. Their music reflects that same kind of dangerous lifestyle that we only fondly wax sentimental about these days. SPIDER FEVER is yet another SD band that we've heard about from numerous SD trusted sources - what's going on San Diego - why so many good bands??

Guest DJ for the evening is DJ RUBYMARS

Of course, there will be $3 TRUMER PILS beer specials and if you're lucky, we may even do an hour of free TRUMER sampling, so get there early. The folks at TRUMER have been great in supporting The Rumble ->ie. making sure the band's don't go thirsty, allowing us to keep the event free, providing a premium beer at a low price, and now FREE tastings!

THE PARTY IS FREE

The Rumble: San Diego is brought to you by Future Sounds, Indigenous, SDdialed In, SD City Beat, M-Theory Records, WOXY, Spin Earth and Trumer Pils.

BAR PINK is located at 3829 30th Street in North Park

THE RUMBLE: LA TONIGHT AT 3 CLUBS

We realized that LA needs more LOVE, and just in time for Valentine's Day, we decided to bring you JAGUAR LOVE this Thursday night at 3 Clubs for the Feb edition of THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES.

Playing all The Rumble west coast dates in February is the mighty JAGUAR LOVE. The band is about to drop in March their full-length, Hologram Jams (Fat Possum) and their new material is the best to date. They have already killed it with audiences in SF, Portland and Seattle.

Jaguar Love is one of two bands that have sprung out of the 2007 break-up of experimental hardcore band THE BLOOD BROTHERS (the other being Past Lives). In Jaguar Love are singer/pianist Johnny Whitney and guitarist Cody Votolato.

Also on the bill from the home turf, we bring you the street gang known as THE RHONE OCCUPATION, another act we've been enjoying and playing on a regular basis at radio, but we finally get to see them live. Opening up is a band out from the east coast doing a run of shows in LA that we were lucky enough to link up with ULTRA VIOLENT LIGHTS.

Our resident DJ's, the ladies of S.i.S. do what they are professionals at - bringing the party.

All this is FREE because we love you. 3 CLUBS is on the corner of Vine and S. Monica

The Rumble Los Angeles is brought to you by Future Sounds, RM64, Buzzbands.La, BMI, WOXY, Stranded In Stereo & Spin Earth

THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO TONIGHT @ CAFE DU NORD

Dear San Francisco, You may think we've moved on and are spending time in the other seven cities the Rumble takes place in each month, but the fact of the matter is that we took January off just to bring you our biggest Rumble yet. This Wednesday night, THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO moves into it's new home - CAFE DU NORD - and we've made it a night you won't forget. Where do we begin?

For starters, we've brought more friends to the party, literally, as we've added partners to the Rumble SF in the form of THE BAY BRIDGED, THE SF BAY GUARDIAN, MR ROBOTO PRESENTS and the NOISE POP MUSIC FESTIVAL. This week's Rumble party is the official NOISE POP WARM UP party to get you prepared for NP2010 which starts on February 23rd.

This party also represents the 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of THE OWL MAG - that equals 'one 'hella long time' to those counting. The Rumble also goes even deeper to celebrate BAGEL RADIO's 7 YEAR ANNIVERSARY. Our original partners are no Johnny-come-lately's to the Bay Area music scene.

But what about the music? Headlining and playing all The Rumble west coast dates in February is JAGUAR LOVE. They've had back-to-back rawkin' Rumbles in Seattle on Monday, and last night in Portland @ Holocene, and are on fire rolling into the Bay.

We've been trying to get MY FIRST EARTHQUAKE'S local show schedule to mesh up with our night and our persistence finally paid off as they support Jaguar Love and again, get you prepared for their NP 2010 performance. Opening up the evening will be the sounds of BUTTERFLY BONES, another up-and-comer that's headed for Noise Pop this month.

The O.G., our resident DJ BAGEL TED will be handling the DJ duties as no Rumble SF party feels right without Ted as the selector.

The party is FREE if you RSVP here

Cafe Du Nord is located at 2170 Market Street

TONIGHT THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND RUMBLES INTO HOLOCENE

Ok, so we had too much fun over New Years and skipped hosting a hangover Rumble party in January, THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND is back for February with an incredible line-up @ Holocene tonight with three Portland based acts.

JAGUAR LOVE is our featured act on this month's Rumble Tour of the West Coast parties, and from the sound of last night's action in Seattle, they 'Started A Fire'.

Our Portland partners recently turned us onto the support and the electro-indie stylings of LOGAN LYNN, who recently dropped a cover version of The Dandy Warhols' 'The Last High' that owned us. Logan is signed to the Dandys' BEAT THE WORLD RECORDS and is prepping for the follow-up from last fall's 'From Pillar To Post'.

Opening up and providing music throughout the evening is DJ A TRAIN. Again, we're trusting the locals on this one because we've heard about AT all the way down in Southern California. You will dance at some point if you attend the party with these three performers.

The Rumble: Portland is brought to you by Future Sounds, Cravedog, Pamplemoose, Music Millennium, XO Publicity, WOXY, and Spin Earth.

THE PARTY IS FREE

HOLOCENE is located at 1001 Southeast Morrison Street

TONIGHT - THE RUMBLE: SEATTLE IS BACK @ HAVANA SOCIAL CLUB

Dear Seattle,

We didn't leave you, we just enjoyed the holidays and prepared for what THE RUMBLE: SEATTLE is about to bring you TONIGHT at an all new location - HAVANA SOCIAL CLUB - and with two bands we think are incredible.

Headlining and playing all The Rumble west coast dates in February is the mighty JAGUAR LOVE. The band is about to drop in March their full-length, 'Hologram Jams' (Fat Possum) and their new material is the best to date. If you listen to the Future Sounds radio show on WOXY.COM, you've heard a preview of at least two HUGE tracks - "Started A Fire" and "Polaroids & Red Wine" and it should give you an indication of just how deep and amazing this record is.

Jaguar Love is one of two bands that have sprung out of the 2007 break-up of experimental hardcore band THE BLOOD BROTHERS (the other being Past Lives). In Jaguar Love, singer/pianist Johnny Whitney and guitarist Cody Votolato are ex-members of that band, and Pretty Girls Make Graves member Jay Clark was the drummer: Due to unforeseen differences, Jay Clark has left the band.

Opening up the evening is the band formerly known as THEY LIVE!, now going by the name MASH HALL. They recently played in Seattle on New Years Day with Japandroids and mix hip hop with indie sensibilities. We still need to find out the story behind why They Live! is dead, but the new Mash Hall tracks sent our way are club thumpers.

The Rumble: Seattle is brought to you by Future Sounds, The Stranger, Line Out, Easy Street Records, The Wig PR, WOXY.com and Spin Earth and is a party that highlights up and coming artists in an intimate setting. The goal of The Rumble chain of parties, which is now in 8 cities a month is to have the indie community support the indie artists, from retail to radio to press to online outlets.

THE PARTY IS FREE

HAVANA SOCIAL CLUB is located at 1010 E Pike Street

JAGUAR LOVE PLAYING ALL WEST COAST RUMBLES IN FEBRUARY

The perfect set up for Valentine's Day, we're thrilled to announce that JAGUAR LOVE will be playing ALL of the west coast RUMBLE dates in February. We've been clocking them for some time, but this new album, 'Hologram Jams' is filled with just that, JAMS! The record drops in March on Fat Possum and we've already been banging 'Started A Fire' and 'Polaroids & Red Wine" on the FS show on WOXY, but this disc runs deep.

The Rumbles have some new twists and turns starting in February that add spice along the way. We've moved the Rumble Seattle to the HAVANA SOCIAL CLUB in Capitol Hill.

In San Francisco, we say goodbye to our friends at Harlot after 2 years, and move over to Market to CAFE DUNORD to accommodate the growing list of SF partners, as we've added THE BAY BRIDGED, MR ROBOTO PRESENTS, the SF BAY GUARDIAN and even NOISE POP MUSIC FEST to the family. The Rumble: San Francisco will be the Warm Up Party for Noise Pop 2010, as well as the 5 year anniversary of THE OWL MAG and the 7 year anniversary of BAGEL RADIO!

The Rumble: San Diego will now find a home at BAR PINK in North Park, the coolest neighborhood in SD.

We're also thrilled to announce a new Rumble city - AUSTIN, TEXAS in February. More on this announcement but we've moved on to join our WOXY brothers and sisters at BEERLAND on Feb 11 and we have some amazing partners jumping on in the indie rock capitol.

MORE ABOUT JAGUAR LOVE:
Jaguar Love is one of two bands that have sprung out of the 2007 break-up of experimental hardcore band The Blood Brothers (the other being Past Lives, comprising ex-singer Jordan Blilie, ex-drummer Mark Gajadhar, ex-bassist Morgan Henderson, and original Blood Brothers guitarist Devin Welch). In Jaguar Love, singer/pianist Johnny Whitney and guitarist Cody Votolato are ex-members of that band, and Pretty Girls Make Graves member Jay Clark was the drummer: Due to unforeseen differences, Jay Clark has left the band. As of Januay 21, 2008 the band has signed to the independent label Matador. The Blood Brothers’ music could be described as a schizophrenic split between raging hardcore punk and jagged art-punk with Surrealistic lyrics.

The three bands that developed as side-projects during The Blood Brothers’ existence—Whitney’s experimental post-hardcore bands Soiled Doves & Neon Blonde and the band’s other lead vocalist Jordan Billie & Votolato’s hardcore/thrash band Head Wound City—illustrated this. Jaguar Love has so far shown many characteristics found in Whitney’s past side-projects, albeit there is no electronica influence as heard in Neon Blonde and the “spazzcore” elements of Soiled Doves have been relatively toned down. In favor of the chaotic sound for those bands is the feeling of a more fully-fleshed out band with more concentration on melody, a lyrical maturation, and traditional songwriting that stylishly culls influence from indie rock, art-punk, soul, post-hardcore, jazz-rock, and glam metal. They are currently touring after finishing writing and recording the album [album]take me to the sea[/album] which is due out in august with production and recording duties being handled primarily by Clarke. Whitney’s clothing company Crystal City, which he co-owns with his wife Amy, has already designed and produced a handful of t-shirts for Jaguar Love.

FUTURE SOUNDS RADIO DEBUTS 11.30.09

Here is more information on artists that were debuts on this week's Future Sounds radio show on WOXY.....

THE BLACK RYDER
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Sydney, Australia
TRACK: Gone Without Feeling

Down under continues to bubble up the goods, time and time again, this time it's Sydney's THE BLACK RYDER. Dark, droney, this band has played with all the right BRMC type bands that have hit Australia, it needs to ride to North America. SXSW perhaps? The Anti-Machine Machine

CAPYBARA
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Kansas City, MO
TRACK: San Francisco, 1906

Definitely taking their cues from the SUFJAN STEVENS playbook, Kansas City's Capybara create a magical blend of indie rock that will tickle the DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE fan in all of us. The entire record, 'Try Brother', is extremely strong. The Record Machine

JAGUAR LOVE
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Portland, Oregon
TRACK: Started A Fire

You should know this duo from PDX, it's former BLOOD BROTHERS members creating a new blend of dance music. That should be enough street cred to get your attention, the music will take it from there. Fat Possum Records

LISTENING PARTY
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Shawnigan Lake, BC, Canada
TRACK: Kissing Booth

This came our way from a trusted source and all that we've heard from Listening Party's "South End Metropolis record is top flight. Interesting indeed, like an indie rock THIEVERY CORPORATION. Kill Devil Hills Records

BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: New Orleans, LA
TRACK: Lover

This young band sounds quite a bit like The Killers, with big choruses and high-end production, but they are a young troupe from Nola paying tribute to 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?". Unsigned

AM
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles/Tulsa/New Orleans
TRACK: A Complete Unknown

This came via our friends at Filter, but it's a local flower we've been watching for some time and they've finally bloomed. AM is about to do the US tour supporting AIR, and that should get them on people's radar. Think BECK meets tropicalia and you are getting close. Filter Recordings

JET HORNS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Gothenberg, Germany/Austin, Texas
TRACK: The Circle

Easily one of the most interesting artists we've come across in a bit, this Germany living in Austin sent us a complex set of music that is so diverse and unique that it'll take some time for us to even catch up to it. Unsigned
