10 pm set FREE

Also on the bill is our old buddies RADEMACHER (FS21) at 9PM

NYLES LANNON - YEASAYER

Released today on Badman Recordings - NYLES LANNON's 'Pressure'. If you haven't experienced the dreamy world of n.l, then you really need to investigate this. An amazing guitarist in his own right, Nyles' solo records are filled with beauty and lightness and songs that are sometimes part SIMON & GARFUNKEL and other times AIR. This record he really adds guitar like never before, and this is a sleeper album that is going to creep up on people.
Check out 'Next Obsession' (mp3) or 'Hesitation' (mp3).

I had been reading about YEASAYER for some time, and finally received the CD, 'All Hour Cymbals' for a listen. I generally like everything that Monitor Records has anything to do with, but it immediately struck me as something very different, and even in describing it I won't do it justice. This is such a deep and rich offering that it might take part of the record before you realize you can't categorize it, and then momentum builds and you wish you never had to categorize music. There are moments where I hear a 'Tusk'-era FLEETWOOD MAC, while at times I can see ARCADE FIRE fans clamoring for this.
My favorite track is the incredible, "2080" (mp3).

NEW SOUNDS: NYLES LANNON

Now, it's not just because NYLES LANNON used to be a member of FILM SCHOOL that I love this record so much, it's because of everything "the sage" ever stood for pours out in his new CD, 'Pressure', set for a September 18 release on Badman Recordings. If you for some strange reason don't own his brilliant solo release, 'Chemical Friends', you have time to pick it up and be caught up with n.Lannon. It was one of those special records that will always sound great. Back to the new release, you'll want to own it, and it showcases Nyles as he matures as a songwriter and as a sage. My favorite track is "Next Obsession" (mp3), but I have many favorites so far.
