Hey! What are you doing this Sunday?? 06/17/2010
Nashville Scene has the Critics scoop on the show this Sunday night at the Basement! Copies of the new album "Red Light Rabbit" will be available at the show! But if you can't wait the physical album is available through Borders, F.Y.E., NAIL, and digitally online. The Quick & Easy Boys have rocked Indianapolis, NYC, Chicago, Richmond, Baltimore tonight, West Virginia tomorrow & Saturday, then Nashville this Sunday (Father's Day June 20th)!!! The tour continues on to Austin, TX after Nashville, so come out to The Basement and see the boys off to the Longhorn State in proper Music City style (and with a few extra gas dollars). Starts at 8PM w/ Cheer Up Charlie Daniels The Quick & Easy Boys Point Break I don't know what side of the river you were born on, but womens undergarmets launching onto the stage just a couple songs into the set is a definite sign people are enjoying the show, right? I mean, is it possible that many people at once were having allergic reactions to their new clothes detergent? I didn't think so (Although Tide does that to me, don't get any ideas). 500+ people all in one place, all dancing, all energized and wanting more even after the 2nd encore. Yep, that was the scene last weekend at Portland's Wonder Ballroom for The Quick & Easy Boys hometown release show. Pure pandemonium coupled by the stunned look on everyone's face at what had just been witnessed. For Nashville, the show coming up June 20th (Ye ole Father's Day) @ the Basment with Nashville party favorites Point Break and Cheer Up Charlie Daniels is SURE to give you the biggest dose of fun times this city has yet to experience. We wouldn't say that if it weren't true. The Boys are driving all the way down from Portland, OR to play in front of Nashville in less than a few weeks. Let's show them a good welcome and send'em on down the road with a little more gas money that what they come with. You'll be able to do that by picking up a copy of their newly released sophmore album "Red Light Rabbit," which is already causing quite the frenzy amongst international music critics. It'll be the best out of towner show you've seen on a Nashville stage in ages. But we won't say we told you so. Don't think, just do it. The Quick & Easy Boys Nashville CD Release Show w/Point Break & Cheer Up Charlie Daniels 6.20.2010 @The Basement (8th ave Nashville, TN) 8pm $5   The hot new sophmore record "Red Light Rabbit" from Portland's powerhouse rock trio The Quick & Easy Boys is live on iTunes!

After making their name as a good-time funk rock party band here, they made their way north to the big city and have continued their ascension, drawing crowds of more than 200 people to their shows in the Rose City. Now The Quick and Easy Boys are releasing their sophomore album, Red Light Rabbit, nationwide on Nashville-based PerCapita Records, and they’re stopping by Eugene to celebrate. The Quick and Easy Boys have a sound that is truly eclectic, with funk, rock, disco, honky-tonk and punk mixing in equal portions. The band aptly describes themselves as a hybrid of the Minutemen, Funkadelic and Willie Nelson. On “Take Your Medicine,” (video posted below) the first single from Red Light Rabbit, The Quick and Easy Boys start with a Bee Gees-esque ”four-on-the-floor” disco shuffle, add some Red Hot Chili Peppers style garage-funk and finish it with hooky blue-eyed soul vocals. What ties it all together is a sense of fun and energy that comes through in the recording and is a big part of the band’s growing reputation as a live act. Like all great live bands, The Quick and Easy Boys leave it all on stage, creating a party atmosphere wherever they play. Any live show that includes formidable moustaches, ten-gallon hats and a red cape makes for a good night out. The Quick and Easy Boys and Reeble Jar play at 9:30 pm Saturday, May 15, at John Henry’s. 21+. $5. — William Kennedy EUGENE WEEKLY *You can Pre-order "Red Light Rabbit" now through F.Y.E. and TOWER RECORDS. *Available on iTunes 5.25.2010!

I'm not good at making cool little sayings, but this is a cool record label outfit from Nashville, TN. They have music all over the musical spectrum which I have featured a few times on my podcasts. If you like swanky trip-hop: they have it. More of an acoustic aficionado: they have it. Cinematic angst: got it. Jazz: got it. Polka-dub: not yet - DARN IT. They're gracious and kind and I hope to see what 2010 will bring from them! http://www.percapitarecords.comhttp://www.twitter.com/per_capita -You can download free music every episode at: http://ublf-coast-to-coast.blogspot.com/ P.S. We are working on the Polka-Dub How German Is It
 How German is it is an indie rock outfit from Brooklyn, NY indebted as much to the sunny 60s pop of The Tremeloes and the Mamas and the Papas as they are to more contemporary low fidelity trailblazers like Guided by Voices and Sebadoh. The songs on their debut veer from acoustic laments that recall Frightened Rabbit and Jonathan Richman (“I Will Be Famous for You”) to Latin-inflected chamber music (“I Believe in Me”) to harder rock informed by the riffs of bands like Future of the Left and The Hot Snakes (“Ugly Quickly”). The Seasonal is a claustrophobic, schizophrenic album thematically connected by the seasons and the city it was recorded in (the album artwork consists of pictures taken the day after an unexpected tornado ravaged parts of Brooklyn). “Giving Up the Ghost,” the first track on the album, starts with a minimalist folk riff and culminates in a noisy, chaotic climax. Its first single, “Flags & Kings,” is Stephen Malkmus-inspired pop muted by ethereal chorus harmonies and lyrics provoked by a loved one’s losing battle with cancer. How German is it’s debut record features a number of local luminaries from NYC bands past and present. Singer/songwriter Patrick S. is best known for his work in Naming Rights, a band that also featured HGii bassist JJ Starside. JJ went on to write and record much of Goodnight Noises Everywhere, the first album by indie sleep-pop darlings The Starside Eight. Craig Mercado spent time in Henry Krinkle and Naming Rights. Dr. Roland Rhythm, studio drum machine, has graciously stepped away from the kit to allow Timothy Gramling to take over for live performances. The album was recorded in Brooklyn’s Studio Apartment Studios (which doubles as Patrick’s apartment) on equipment from the members’ childhoods, including a Casio SK-1 keyboard, a Tascam Porta07 4-track recorder (used as a mixing board), a Dr. Rhythm drum machine and JJ’s practice accordion. HGii is playing regularly in Brooklyn this summer in support of their record. "Brooklyn band How German is it are a revolving cast of musicians and a new album out soon, The Seasonal (which "Giving Up the Ghost" is a selection from), a celebration of sorts of indie rock staples ranging from Pavement to Jonathan Richman, though as their bio states, they're "indebted as much to the sunny 60s pop of The Tremeloes and the Mamas and the Papas as they are to more contemporary low fidelity trailblazers like Guided by Voices and Sebadoh". The band are playing several upcoming dates in Brooklyn to promote the album." -A Future In Noise (Independent Music Discoveries, Issue #16 ) on iTunes 3.14.2010 Click for their myspace  You've probably never a heard group quite like Vindan and the Zion Band. As a person that draws much influence from Devendra Banhart, The Police, Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, The Doors, Roots Manuva, The Fugees, etc... Vindan Manomohan brings reggae, rhymes and folk to a whole new higher ground. With a unique melodic and lyrical beauty, you will find in this new self-titled release Australian songs about the paths of life, love and things less tangible.
