TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: MISSISSIPPI MAN & PEPPER RABBIT @ THE ECO

Two bands we've had the recent pleasure of watching perform on our RUMBLE parties in recent months - MISSISSIPPI MAN and PEPPER RABBIT play tonight at The Echo for a show put on by LA Record. The boys in Mississippi Man have all the makings of rock legends in the makings, after having a friend hustle us for money one night and the next partaking in scandalous van activities, and then stepping on stage to deliver an amazing live set. They surprised us with a much larger sound than we had anticipated and really closed out the last Rumble Los Angeles party at 3 Clubs. Pepper Rabbit of course played through the Rumble WC dates in April and forged new followers at every stop. WHITE ARROWS and THE FLING also support this bill which kicks off at 9pm.

THE RUMBLE ROLLS INTO LOS ANGELES TONIGHT @ 3 CLUBS

TONIGHT @ 3 Clubs in Hollywood it's the May version of THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES with three more acts performing that should be on your radar.

Headlining the show will be the LA based act - MISSISSIPPI MAN - we recently got turned onto them and their song "Hell's Oven" has us hooked. Check them out and download this song - "Ricochet" (thanks Rollo & Grady)

Here's what our partners had to say about them..

"American infused... earnest folk-pop" - Buzzbands LA

"The band's live sound references the past while simultaneously looking to the future" - SPIN Earth

Playing all of the RUMBLE parties along the West Coast this week (6 shows in 7 nights) is San Francisco's THE FEROCIOUS FEW, as they have released "Juices", their Birdman Records debut, and a culmination of their songwriting craft that they have worked on religiously on every street corner in San Francisco and Oakland. Known for their guerrilla sidewalk shows outside concerts and street fairs, that generally end in near arrests, the FF are a blues explosion that's part Black Keys, part Robert Johnson at the Crossroads.

Opening up the evening someone we've also started stalking recently - LA's DIRT DRESS. Thursday's party is going to be a whiskey-infused mess after these three acts drop their delta blues meets 2010 rock n roll on all of us. Dirt Dress caught our attention after we received their EP on cassette, Perdido en la Suciedad (Papermade), and we love their Velvet Underground meets The Modern Lovers vibe. Here's a look at DD and what's to come tonight...

The party is always FREE and we'll have 5$ Svedka vodka drinks all night long.

The Rumble: Los Angeles is brought to you by Future Sounds, BMI, RM64, Buzzbands.LA, The Planetary Group and Spin Earth.

3 Clubs is located on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and Vine - look for the 'Cocktails' sign

CELEBRATE CINCO DE MAYO @ THE RUMBLE SAN FRANCISCO - CAFE DU NORD

Celebrate Cinco De Mayo tonight with Francisco Fernandez and THE FEROCIOUS FEW as this month's RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO celebrates the release of "Juices" on Birdman Records!

Headlining the Rumble party this month at Cafe Du Nord are the dynamic duo of THE FEROCIOUS FEW, who just dropped their debut LP on Birdman and are playing the West Coast leg of THE RUMBLE this week - 6 parties in 7 nights. The San Francisco show, being their home turf, will also double as their CD release party, so the boys should be in rare form.

Supporting them are a band we've been trying to get to play our party for ages, THE SERMON. Frontman Mike Gabriel comes off like a Southern Baptist preacher - preachin' the blues! They have just finished up a new album which has help from such heavyweights as Penelope Houston of THE AVENGERS and Mr Incredible- KELLY STOLTZ.

Coming up from Los Angeles but a band with a sound that will be right at home with these growlers is MISSISSIPPI MAN . We recently got turned onto them and their song "Hell's Oven" has us hooked.

Resident DJ - BAGEL TED of Bagel Radio will do what he does best - spin great records all night in between the bands, and we have TRUMER PILS beer specials all night long for this Cinco De Mayo version of THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO.

The party is FREE if you RSVP at at SONICLIVING (if not, it's $5)
http://sonicliving.com/rumble29

As always, this event is brought to you by Future Sounds, The Owl Mag, Bagel Radio, Noise Pop Festival, The Bay Bridged, SF Bay Guardian, Stranded In Stereo, Trumer Pils and Spin Earth.

Cafe Du Nord is located at 2174 Market Street

SF’S THE FEROCIOUS FEW HEADLINING THE RUMBLE TOUR IN MAY IN SUPPORT OF JUICES

The first week of May is upon us and THE RUMBLE is back with week of shows guaranteed to stretch Cinco de Mayo throughout the entire week. As usual the party’s always free!

THE FEROCIOUS FEW will be joining us this month on the entire THE RUMBLE WEST COAST TOUR in support of their staggering debut release Juices (Birdman). The brainchild of SF troubadour Francisco Fernandez and Daniel Aguilar, this blues rock duo are a return to the hallmarks of classic Americana, with visceral, raw lyrics accompanied by frenzied guitars and bashing drums. After a sweltering set in Austin at the Bay Area Takeover Party this March, THE FEROCIOUS FEW have been racking up the accolades, with the New York Times blog labeling the pair as one of their SXSW Standouts.

We’ve been lucky enough to see them live (back in November they tore up the small Blue Palms Stage at the Hollywood Brew Fest), so we can attest that their show is a serious force of zealous energy that is really indescribable. With Blurt Magazine calling Juices “the best debut album of 2010 only 4 months in,” this act is set for big things. The single “Porcelain Doll” is piece of riotous soul rock. While, THE FEROCIOUS FEW are known for their impromptu performances on the street corner of 16th and Mission, but if the buzz radiating off Juices is any indication they will soon be shucking the pavement for larger venues very soon; so the chance to see them in these intimate settings won’t last long.

Starting the week off in Washington on Monday May 3rd, THE RUMBLE SEATTLE kicks off the tour at Havana Social Club. Seattle collective THE HEAD AND THE HEART are set to open the night with their harmony laden indie folk. Call them the American version of Mumford & Sons (a bonafide staple at FS HQ). Their track, “Sounds Like Hallelujah” is an epic beautifully orchestrated ballad, heavy on the violins and Josiah Johnson’s soaring vocals.

Then Tuesday May 4th we’ll head down to our Portland home, Holocene, where two local acts will share the bill with THE FEROCIOUS FEW. First up is 1776, a quartet that look as if they were plucked off the cover of Rolling Stone in the 60’s with perfectly shaggy mops of hair and vintage to match. Recently signed to Beat The World Records (The Dandy Warhols label), 1776 are young (most of them underage) and earnest classic rockers in the vein of MC5.

Portland Mercury darlings, MONARQUES round out the night, as this seven piece are set to bring their sunny, 1950’s inspired indie pop. The creation of Oh Captain, My Captain's Josh Spacek, MONARQUES’ dreamy confections are reminiscent of early Morning Benders with the added bonus of female backing vocals.

Wednesday May 5th, Francisco and co will head down to their home turf for THE RUMBLE SF at Café du Nord for the Juices album release party and probably one of the best Cinco de Mayo celebrations going on in the city that night. Tequila plus Trumer Pils equals the ultimate party.

Joining us for dates in SF and LA, are MISSISSIPPI MAN, a band we’ve loved since they released The Snake Oil Salesman EP last spring. This LA based quintet are making legit folk pop, full of blues infused harmonies with David Knight and Luke Messimer’s vocals recalling an early Neil Young. Touted as one of the Best Bands of 2009 by our friends at The Deli LA, we couldn’t be more excited to have MISSISSIPPI MAN on the bill for these two nights.

Bay Area favorites, THE SERMON will also be on hand for the fiesta. Serious dark dirty garage with blistering guitars and tinges of 60’s soul, plus a healthy dose of The Stooges; it’s no wonder The Owl Mag have been loving THE SERMON. If their live show is anything like we’ve been hearing, their set is bound to be pretty amazing. As always, resident DJ BAGeL Ted will be spinning tunes all night. RSVP at Sonic Living.

Thursday May 6th The RUMBLE LA will head back home to 3 Clubs, where another local act and Aquarium Drunkard fav, DIRT DRESS will open the night. Classic garage rock at it’s best (loud and thunderous); this three piece earned a spot at Waved Out this past March with bloggers saying, “Dirt Dress shows us what punk rock might have been, almost was, and, apparently, still can be.” With buzz like this, you’ll have to come check out DIRT DRESS.

As usual we head down south for THE RUMBLE SAN DIEGO on Saturdays to our North Park dwelling, Bar Pink on May 8th with a killer line up of SD bands joining THE FEROCIOUS FEW. First up is our newest obsession, LITTLE DEADMAN, a local act signed to our friends over at Single Screen Records (Beaters, Heavy Hawaii). LITTLE DEADMAN evoke early Strokes with a hint of Yesayer. Just check out their track “Shooting Seagulls” and you’ll hear why we can’t get enough of them.

THE KABBS are dirty Southern tinged garage rock by way of North Park, with the help of Brian Clinebell’s vocals. A perfect melding of psychedelic and blues influences, “Golden and Blue” is a must listen. It’s no wonder local SD press, like CityBeat are calling their sound, “catchy garage-pop without the lo-fi hipster pretense.” Local DJ Cory Casey will be on the decks all night!

The parties are FREE and are brought to you in each city by the collective of Rumble partners that come together to support indie music. Stay tuned for information on The Rumble: Las Vegas, The Rumble: Austin and The Rumble: New York coming soon......

FUTURE SOUNDS RADIO DEBUTS 3.01.10

More information on artists that debuted on today's Future Sounds radio show on WOXY....

I WAS A TEENAGE SATAN WORSHIPER
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Helsinki, Finland
TRACK: Softcore Sex Dreams

Now that's a band name that you don't need to hear 5 times for it to stick. IWATSW hail from Hellsinki, where worshiping at the alter of great electronic music is the ritual. Their 'Strange Lights' full-length is awesome! GAEA Records (Finland)

FUTUREBIRDS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Athens, GA
TRACK: Breathe For Days

Athens has always produced amazing acts from R.E.M. to the Elephant 6 bunch to the latest batch (Twin Tigers) and now FUTUREBIRDS flutters in with a s/t EP that feels like 'It Still Moves' era-MY MORNING JACKET. Unsigned

MISSISSIPPI MAN
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles
TRACK: Hell’s Oven

How this one slipped past our sniffers here in LA I will never know, but LA's MISSISSIPPI MAN sound more like Tapanga Canyon or Ole Miss itself. This act we need to see live but the demos sent our way are stellar. Unsigned

WEINLAND
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Portland, OR
TRACK: I’m Sure It Helps

WEINLAND are yet another one of the quality PNW bands from Portland that produce sounds that warm the soul and feel as rootsy as Oregon and bicycles and microbrews. There isn't a bad track on 'Breaks In The Sun'. Badman Recordings

THE TERROR PIGEON DANCE REVOLT!
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: New York
TRACK: Fast Forward Regrets

NYC's TTPDR! are every bit as funky as this picture above teases. Another band with big SXSW plans, so put them on your radar. Luaka Bop

RUMSPRINGA
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles
TRACK: Shake ‘Em Loose Tonight

We've been into these guys for some time, but finally landed them for our Rumble: Los Angeles party @ 3 Clubs this Thursday, as well as one of The Rumble @ SXSW parties. This track kills it!
Cantora Records

THE WHITE WHITE LIGHTS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Austin, TX
TRACK: Space Invaders

From those smart guys at Indierect Records that brought you the wonderful BELAIRE, this time they drop Austin's THE WHITE WHITE LIGHTS on us in all it's quirky, electro glory! Check these kids out at SXSW.

YUKON BLONDE
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Vancouver
TRACK: Babies Don’t Like Blue Anymore

Vancouver may have just had the eyes of the sporting world on them, but this band might take up the indie rock music slack for this town since closing ceremonies with YUKON BLONDE. Their s/t album is nothing short of brilliant, and this band will get constant play on FS radio until they put out their next release. Nevado Records (CA)

KINGS GO FORTH
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Milwaukee, WI
TRACK: One Day

You know that FS has a soft spot for soul, and anyone that even knocks on the door of the great CURTIS MAYFIELD gets welcomed into our fold with open arms. This 10-piece from Milwaukee just got big forks on Pitchfork and are playing our Rumble @ SXSW party. Luaka Bop

BRAHMS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: New York
TRACK: Brought It Out

This band is grabbing lots of industry attention on the East Coast and are headed to SXSW to capitalize and let people see what they've got under the hood. Those guys at RCRDLBL.COM gave away this demo track. Unsigned

SONNY & THE SUNSETS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: San Francisco
TRACK: Heart Of Sadness

This one was l-o-v-e at first listen. Sonny, if you can hear me, can we do some Rumbles? I just heard nothing but positive reports back from their weekend Noise Pop performance but this SF act hits every trigger that gets us going. SDI rules! Unsigned

POP EMPIRE
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Cincinnati, OH
TRACK: Twirling

Big thanks to WOXY's Joe Long for turning us onto this Cincy band with the kind of sound that makes my indie rock jeans tingle. Expect to hear us play this one often and we're working on getting them down for some Rumbles. Unsigned
