FUTURE SOUNDS RADIO DEBUTS 3.08.10

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

MAGIC MAN
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles/Boston
TRACK: Daughter

I think we may have stumbled onto something special when Kyle kicked this one into our yard, it's a keeper - MAGIC MAN. Still catching up on the details on the who/what/why/where on MM, but after a spin through their Bandcamp page, we're hooked. Unsigned

JOHN ISAAC WATTERS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles
TRACK: Canary Yellow

LA based JOHN ISAAC WATTERS gets compared to MODEST MOUSE quite a bit, but once you get past the immediate reference point he makes it clear that he is his own man. A recent discovery here in the FSHQ, we're onto him now so expect to see him around these parts. Unsigned

JBM
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: New York
TRACK: Ambitions & War

Currently out on tour with ROGUE WAVE and AVI BUFFALO, New York's JBM makes music that is gorgeous in a '70's AM kinda way. This track reminds me of AMERICA or BREAD, and I mean them both in the most complimentary way. Partisan Records

SEASPIN
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles
TRACK: Reverser

Somebody loves their MBV! LA's SEASPIN are currently playing the March residency at Silverlake Lounge and have a support date coming up with SERENA MANEESH at The Troubadour. Unsigned

STRIPMALL ARCHITECTURE
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: San Francisco
TRACK: Version

This Bay Area act recently played at our RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO party @ Cafe Du Nord and are comprised of a mini-super group, with members from HALOU and numerous other SF bands. Think sounds that could be movie soundtracks, at times downtempo-like, and you're getting close to this lot. Unsigned

PANDA RIOT
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Chicago
TRACK: When You Said What I Said

This Chicago electro-indie act has a touch of MAPS and a bit of ASOBI SEKSU in them but plenty of their own initiative and some gorgeous sounds just this side of the STEREOLAB fence. Unsigned

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES - SEASPIN'S RESIDENCY BEGINS @ SILVERLAKE LOUNGE

Like MY BLOODY VALENTINE? Like shoegaze oooze? Then SEASPIN is your band and they've put together a month's worth of showcases with bands we love and bands we look forward to seeing for the first time from as far away as Australia, Norway and Brooklyn. Tonight it kicks off with some bands that are new to us (Corridor, Yours Til Death), as well as one that played last month's Rumble:LA, THE ULTRA VIOLENT LIGHTS from New York (think DINOSAUR JR).

SEASPIN are celebrating their EP release - 'Reverser' which they are self-releasing. Here's what Buzzbands:LA said about it: "Seaspin...a vaguely turbulent strain of dreampop..."

Check out the title track, 'Reverser' here. (mp3)
