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).

TONIGHT @ SOUTHPAW - EBONY BONES PLAYS THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN

New York, We love you!

Our Valentine's Eve gift to you is a show of epic and cosmic love proportions. This month THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN has put together a show worthy of some cuddle-time.

Headlining and arriving from London via Planet Love-tron, it's EBONY BONES.

"I am Cleopatra reincarnated, in search of KFC."- Ebony Bones

Trace a line from Parliment to Bootsy to Digital Underground to Grace Jones and the next one in line is London's EBONY BONES.

JESSICA 6, which boasts members of HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR, will also make sure the level of freakish love is turned up to 10 and openers, MONOGOLD, an act we can't stop playing on the Future Sounds WOXY radio show, will show everyone why this is a band to watch in 2010.

The Rumble: Brooklyn is brought to you by Future Sounds, The Musebox, Defalco Presents, WOXY, Stranded In Stereo, Sound Fix Records and Spin Earth.

FUTURE SOUNDS & WOXY HEADING TO NORWAY FOR BY:LARM

Future Sounds and WOXY will be heading to Oslo, Norway this week for the Scandinavian version of SXSW - BY:LARM. Over 400 artists will be performing this week and alongside WOXY's Joe Long (The Futurist), we'll be trying to see as many of them as possible. We'll be reporting from Oslo alongside interviews with guest speakers and artists involved in the conference.

Listen up on Monday's Future Sounds radio show on WOXY for three sets of music from artists performing at this year's By:Larm. Stream it here.

TONIGHT @ BEERLAND - THE RUMBLE: AUSTIN OPENS IT'S DOORS

We've been building our beast in other towns, each one prepping us for the day we got to open our doors to THE RUMBLE in Austin, Texas, the indie rock capitol of the US. At long last - TONIGHT - we are thrilled to bring you THE RUMBLE: AUSTIN @ Beerland.

Austin marks our eighth city in the Rumble circuit, and it's sort of a homecoming in that our family - WOXY - lives and breathes in Austin, and it's home to us every year for SXSW and ACL. Future Sounds and WOXY have teamed up with other like-minded folks like WATERLOO RECORDS, THE AUSTINIST, THE ONION AV CLUB and SPIN EARTH to bring you this monthly party that is always FREE, and always promised to bring you amazing live acts from up-and-comers as well as surprises from time to time.

Headlining this inaugural party is TV TORSO, someone we've been enjoying plenty on the WOXY airwaves with a touch of Spoon and a touch of class in their sound.

Another act we've been following closely from out West, DIRTY DANCING will also perform. This is some dark music, think Tom Waits meets The Bad Seeds. This act could break out because after all, no one puts baby in a corner.

Opening up the Rumble is the youngsters that are making their rounds and creating their own culture - THE HAPPEN-INS. Reminiscent of when The Stones bled old Blues records starting out, The Happen-Ins have had their fair share of nights with their John Lee Hooker records.

The WOXY DJ's will be handling the music, as they always do, between the acts and did we already mention that this party is FREE?

BEERLAND is located at 711 Red River Street

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

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

TONIGHT - THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES @ 3 CLUBS

It's here - THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES burns tonight at 3 Clubs with 3 bands we love on a silver platter for FREE. AUSHUA, CHASING KINGS & CAT PARTY with DJ's S.i.S. will handle all the entertaining. Watch the National Championship game at the bar before the party kicks off with John and the Longhorn fans.

For once, don't be sooooo LA tonight and get there early for a change and catch a band whose 7"'s and EP's have owned me, and look for their track, "Tar & Feathers" to appear on Future Sound 34 (due out hopefully by the end of January) - CAT PARTY.

"Once upon a summer we were desperate to be younger still..."

The lyrics pulled straight from the title track of the CHASING KINGS EP, "The Current State Of Our Future", these youngsters have old souls. See the interview below for more on these guys.





Headlining the party is the band from Santa Ana known as AUSHUA, who are showing off their latest EP, "Limbo" at shows all over Southern California recently, and tonight we get the treat. We meant to do a nice interview with them and hear more about this new output of tracks but time kept on slipping, slipping, slipping...into the future....

The party is FREE and brought to you by Future Sounds, RM64, BMI, Buzzbands.LA, Stranded In Stereo, WOXY, The Owl Mag and Spin Earth.

THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES THIS THURSDAY @ 3 CLUBS

Happy New Year!

If you are like us, you've had your fill of down time, Mom's pies, bad television, and it's time to shake off the holidays and get back on the street and see some live music. This Thursday, THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES returns to 3 Clubs with a line up that will force you back into the game.

AUSHUA, a local band we fell for back when we had "Sister Saves" grace Future Sounds 30 back in October '07. They've only gotten stronger and are out showing off their new material.

CHASING KINGS - A trusted source first turned us onto their new material, and songs like "This Town" have earned a regular spot on the weekly Future Sounds playlist on WOXY. Can't wait to see this band live.

CAT PARTY- We basically started stalking this band soon after hearing early demos and 7" vinyl only releases, then just got their EP. Look for them to appear on upcoming Future Sounds releases, be sure to get to the show early so you don't miss this potential break out act of 2010.

The lovely ladies that are DJ S.i.S. spin everything without pretension as our resident DJ's.

The party is FREE and brought to you by Future Sounds, RM64, BMI, Buzzbands.LA, Stranded In Stereo, WOXY, The Owl Mag and Spin Earth.

3 CLUBS is located on the corner of Vine and Santa Monica Blvd.

TONIGHT @ SOUTHPAW - THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN RETURNS

THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN has a line up for December that is like an early Christmas present to you. This Wednesday's party features a group of bands that have 2010 to open up and blossom and will continue to give us great music for years to come.

Headlining is the mighty MARIANNE, the Brooklyn based, Japanese psychedelic freak-out that must be seen to believe. Think ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE meets BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW and you're getting close.

Supporting will be THE BLOODSUGARS, and anyone that's heard a note of the single, "Light At The End Of The Tunnel" knows the potential of this Brooklyn band.

Rough Trade's SHE KEEPS BEES delivers the third Brooklyn artist on the bill, riding in on a glowing review in Mojo and songs like "Gimme" make you want more more more.

Opening up is a real treat, someone we've been trying to get close to for over a year now, and up from Brisbane, Australia comes VIOLENT SOHO. We heard "Jesus Stole My Girlfriend", in all it's Kobain-like glory and Gil Norton-styled nob twistin'.

The Rumble: Brooklyn is a collaboration between Future Sounds, DEFALCO PRESENTS, SOUND FIX RECORDS and WOXY.COM, but this month we've added a new partner that we're thrilled about - THE MUSEBOX.

SOUTHPAW is located at 125 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. Party starts @ 8pm.

TONIGHT IN LAS VEGAS - THE RUMBLE: LAS VEGAS @ THE ARUBA

Our Sin City version of THE RUMBLE rolls into Las Vegas this evening for another FREE party at the Thunderbird Lounge within the Aruba Hotel. San Diego's TAPE DECK MOUNTAIN come in to headline after back-to-back Rumble shows in Los Angeles and San Diego. Their full length just dropped on Lefse Records and it needs to be heard. Representing the home court are two bands that we've heard plenty about from our partners, NEON REVERB - BLACK CAMARO and THE LAZYSTARS. Handling this month's DJ duties is DJ LADYFINGERS.

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES - THE RUMBLE: LA @ 3 CLUBS

In the highly competitive season of Holiday shows, benefits and parties, tonight in LA delivers plenty of options. Options are nice, but THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES is mandatory. You must come to this show, please.

What's on tap this month is a four band line up, and a true battle of LA vs. SD. The upstart San Diego, as you know and as we've reported previously, is coming strong these days with quality band after band. Tonight they are represented in a 'The Warriors' style battle royale by TAPE DECK MOUNTAIN, the heralded buzzing act that Pitchfork loves, and the Arcade Fire-like power of THE DROWNING MEN. Los Angeles steps forward with the Pretenders-meets-Belly rock and roll of ALL WRONG & THE PLANS CHANGE and first up will be the uber-creative, EVAN VOYTAS. The ladies that call themselves DJ S.i.S. will be there making all the boys stare at them on the turntables.

Joining The Rumble: Los Angeles family of partners is BUZZBANDS.LA. We've read Kevin's column for years at the Times, now as the full-fledged BB.LA blog, he's out every night reporting back on what we should've have gone out to see. Welcome brother.

The Rumble: Los Angeles is FREE and it's at 3 Clubs in Hollywood - on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and Vine. Don't spend too much time in the Army surplus store, get in early for EV.

The feisty ALL WRONG & THE PLANS CHANGE will represent Los Angeles along with EVAN VOYTAS. The lovely DJ's, S.i.S. do their magic from the turntables.

We're also thrilled to announce that we have a new partner joining the party, BUZZBANDS.LA.

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

FUTURE SOUNDS RADIO DEBUTS 11.09.09

We'll be highlighting all the bands playing this weekend's HOLLYWOOD BREWFEST later this week on the blog, so we'll reserve those bands appearing on the FS WOXY playlist for the first time for that feature. Here were the other new arrivals....

THE RENTALS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles
TRACK: Traces of Our Tears

Hardly a new band, but new to our FS radio show, THE RENTALS have been around since Matt Sharp put it together in the mid-90's. You will remember Sharp from his days as bassist for WEEZER, and their track "Friends Of P" back in the day. This is hardly an act living in the past, rather boldly creating a new release that includes a year long body of work called "Songs About Time" that's complete with daily and weekly photos, videos, new songs weekly, coffee table books, vinyl, and probably another 25 things I haven't mentioned. Bold indeed.

FENCES
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Seattle
TRACK: The Same Tattoos

FENCES is really about Chris Mansfield, a guy that manages to create perfect indie rock in a DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE kinda way. Originally from Boston, now in Seattle, everything we've heard from him is high quality. Unsigned

SATURDAY MATINEE SHOW - THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO @ THE CASBAH

The early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the Ape, as THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO returns to the Casbah this Saturday for a FREE matinee show with APES OF WRATH, AWOLNATION and THE OLD IN OUT, brought to you by Future Sounds, Indigenous, WOXY, Spin Earth, M Theory Records, SDdialed In, CityBeat and Trumer Pils.

If the APES OF WRATH continue their Rumble devastation tour in the fashion they've been going over the last few nights, playing their home turf tomorrow is going to be a spectacle. The trio sounds tighter than ever after four nights on the road, and I just received a copy of their full length and it's incredible.

Coming up from LA is the force that is AWOLNATION. You may recall frontman, Aaron Bruno from UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF GIANTS previously, this is his new project that is drawing big crowds in Los Angeles. High energy and with personality for a couple bands, not to be missed.

Opening up is the SD act, THE OLD IN OUT, and if you just go by the name, their going to bring the nasty. We had our local partners tell us how amazing they are live, so we've put together a line up of three acts that we know stand and deliver on stage.

Coming strong as guest DJ's this month are the dynamic duo of DJ RED OCTOBER and DJ C. WIZARD.

This is a FREE show and there will be beer specials provided by TRUMER PILS all afternoon long.

THE PARTY LASTS FROM 3PM-6PM
Come out early and start your Saturday night off right

HOME COOKIN' - THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES TONIGHT @ 3 CLUBS

Properly prepare yourself for THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES @ 3 Clubs this Thursday night, as it will be shoulder to shoulder in the back room for another amazing night of FREE music brought to you by Future Sounds, BMI, RM64, WOXY, Spin Earth, Stranded In Stereo and The Owl Magazine.

Headlining this week's party is the band formerly known as THE LIBRARY, now called PRAYER come in to top off the evening. Prayer recently turned out the Big Apple at CMJ and have just finished up five new songs with Alexi Aldi (PASSION PIT).

A late addition to the party, but a welcome one, are PARADE OF LIGHTS. This band is being discussed by a&r weasels everywhere and their live performances are gaining local groundswell.

First up will be a band YOU CAN'T MISS - San Diego's APES OF WRATH! Future Sounds Records dropped their next single, "Deathtrain" yesterday on you on iTunes, but you need to see this trio live and you'll be on board like we were. They've done all the Rumble dates this month, performing in Seattle, Portland and last night in San Francisco this week.

Our resident DJ's, S.i.S. will be turning heads and shakin' asses on the turntables in between the bands.

The party is FREE - 3 Clubs is located at 1123 Vine Street (cross S. Monica)
