k things off tonight in Bridgeport, CT at the Acoustic Cafe and will make their way South before coming back North and ending up at Pianos here on the LES. Both acts will sing a song or three for one free meal. So, if you happen upon them at one of their stops, feed 'em and get some songs played as thanks. And, to keep folks posted on their travels, they'll be keeping a video blog HERE. Head down to the MP3 Grab below and get "Gennessee Falls."Israel Nash Gripka and The Fieros head out this weekend from NYC to the southern States, stopping along the route to locally owned and operated diners and food joints, with guitars, and forks, in hand. Both acts will sing a song or three for one free meal, a tour premise not only feeding the bands their much needed daily sustenance, but also presenting a departure from the way individuals hear independent artists.Though these eatery gigs will be without amps, they won't be without soul. The music is sincere and heartfelt, just like mom's meatloaf... but also RAW & crunchy, like her veggies. Check out an mp3 from a recent living room rehearsal below and feel free to post.
've had this song on repeat for the last day. I want to hear more from these guys! Check out the song below.Dublin trio The Minutes have gigged extensively in Ireland and the UK. Touring with the likes of Albert Hammond Jnr (The Strokes),The Pigeon Detectives, The Von Bondies & Supergrass. Previous singles include 'Black Keys' 'Harmonic' and 'Ukraine'. Ukraine helped the band establish themselves in the Dublin music scene thanks to heavy rotation on local indie stations.After a year long residency in '09 at Dublin live music staple Whelans, The Minutes developed a unique rock n' roll show to call their own.After becoming one of Dublin's must see live acts, it came time to record their debut album and in October of 2009 the three piece headed to Marcata Recordings in upstate New York. Together with producer Kevin McMahon the band have crafted a ten track album that captures the energy of their live sets. The record blasts through one foot stomper after another, from the 2 minute rawness of Secret History, to the crashing drum solo on Believer right up to live favourite In My Time Of Dying. Due for release mid 2010, 'Marcata' is a record you'll come back to time and time again.With a trip stateside again in March to attend the SXSW festival this year promises to be an exciting year for the Dublin three-piece!
m Footstone, Lippy. Check out "Mad-G" below. And, you can head on over to Dromedary-Records.com site to pick up the record.After all the years of flying under the radar with an over the top sound, “inkie rock” returns…with cold beer and a language all its own. Footstone is back, led by singer/guitarist Ralph Malanga, and a passion for beer-swilling, supercharged power pop. Fueled by the thunderous bass antics of Mark Abney and the driving drums of Dave Noel, Footstone’s percussive, twin-guitar attack (Malanga along with guitarist Eric Greenberg) is a combination of raw energy and melodic hooks rarely seen in today’s indie rock.
ottish DJ Architeq. Check it out below. The original is on their self-titled debut album. And, if you're looking to catch them live, they're on tour. New York, they'll be here on home turf when they take the stage to support Gossip over at Terminal 5 on April 30.The track unsettles but compels, simultaneously working its way into the "pleasure" and "fear" centers of a listener's brain. It's creepy, smoky, and delightfully, addictively catchy.

t go to see anyone particular I just went to have fun. That was the night I experienced Doppelgänger.
P that’s coming out, I believe, this month. It’s titled Get It Over With Already. Keep and eye out for that. I’m looking forward to getting my quirky little hands on it.
