Bio: A gang of three, four including rock. We are Wolves imposes a music that’s both free and honest, like the celestial lightning on the mystic mountain. It’s a post-punk landscape filled with analogue trees. It’s like rock after the post-modern explosion.

Bio: Rubik WILL make your skin crawl at some point. This happens when you’re forced to peer too far into anything. Vertigo. It’s a curse, the knowing of another’s inner thoughts. Right after making you squirm, the band will lift you up with a cascade of melody. It’s a rollercoaster ride, vacillating between the micro- and macrocosmic. Rubik does a scary little high-wire dance between the intimate and the elephantine, the melodic and the noisy, the gorgeous and the hideous. They can be as withdrawn and obtuse as the artiest rock band out there and then bust out with a melodic hug potent enough to enclose the globe. Rubik can go from sounding like a well oiled, world-conquering machine to a broken down, cigarette encrusted bar piano.

I love Alice in Wonderland. Last weekend I saw the movie in 3D and it was absolutely visually stunning! Inspired by Johnny Depp, I think I’ll have a tea party of my own this weekend and start planning my visit New York City. I do not want to miss  Tim Burton’s latest exhibit at MOMA open until April 26th.  And, it’s never too early to start thinking about next years Halloween costume.

A few weeks ago we introduced you to a little band from Kansas called Queens Club. They’ve recently put out a new single called “Less Talk”.  They’re new album, Young Giant, drops March 23 & if you manage to make it down to SXSW, check ‘em out! They’re playing the ATN Showcase @ the Bayou Lounge on March 19! We dig this song, what do you think?

Bio: Places and Numbers is the new project from Bobby Darling, former guitarist for critically-acclaimed rockers Gatsbys American Dream. Recorded while traveling through Italy, WAKING THE DEAD is a welcoming blend of reverb-drenched effects and Darling’s engaging vocals. The finished product pulls musical influences from acts as diverse as the Postal Service, Talking Heads, the Strokes and Kanye West, and showcases a musician who’s finding new meaning in life through writing songs.

Album Title: Fun and Laughter EP & Some are Lakes
Featured Tracks: “May You Never” & “Some Are Lakes”
Record Label: Saddle-Creek
Website: www.myspace.com/landoftalk

Bio: Land of Talk arrive with Some Are Lakes, the much-anticipated debut full-length and their first recording for Saddle Creek. Led by singer/guitarist Elizabeth Powell, Some Are Lakes was recorded in the band’s hometown of Montreal with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) and is the follow up to their acclaimed 2006 EP Applause Cheer Boo Hiss (Rebel Group). Some Are Lakes continues to showcase Powell’s vocal convictions, which Time Out NY called “a voice that flits between come-hither and go-fuck-yourself.” Powell’s voice and roaring guitars take center-stage alongside bassist Chris McCarron and drummer Andrew Barr (The Slip). The album is born of an artistic sensibility that digs its heels into the present, and yet is entirely tied to the ashtray fumes of its past and the jet turbine whine of its future. Some Are Lakes is as much an album about where Land of Talk have been, and where they will be, as it can ever be about where they are now.
