Kamchatka

I have been thoroughly impressed with Kamchatka. I'm a little disappointed that I hadn't heard of them sooner. They're from Sweden and they play Blues Rock jams - as seen here -

The Company Band

Them Crooked Vultures

It turns out that I missed quite a bit in my 2-3 month hiatus from normal blog browsing routines.
Dave Grohl on drums, Josh Homme on the guitar, and John Paul Jones on Bass... Holy crap!

Lollapalooza Booking

I think everyone needs to put The Joggers as one of their five picks to play at Lollapalooza. Do it before Nov. 10!

Young Widows - Live + Interview

26 minute video, but completely worth the watch.

Looks to me like the drummer is wearing a Baroness shirt.

Baroness and The Fall Of Troy

Two of my favorite Hard Rock bands are both coming out with new albums in October. The Fall Of Troy is coming out with In The Unlikely Event on October 6th. Then, on October 13th Baroness releases their Blue Record.
Baroness has a new song up on myspace.
If you're willing to do a little searching, then a couple new songs by The Fall Of Troy are out there.

Pitchfork Music Festival

I was thrilled by a lot of the bands that played this past weekend and disappointed by a few. Here is my list of the top 5 bands I witnessed over the course of the fest.

Friday:
The Jesus Lizard

Saturday:
Plants and Animals
The National (The biggest surprise for me)

Sunday:
The Killer Whales
Japandroids

bygones

Arguably two of the best in their noisy rock genre, Nick Reinhart, guitar and vocals for Tera Melos and Zach Hill, drummer for Hella, Goon Moon, Marnie Stern, El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, etc, have teamed up to make bygones. They have said that this is a band, not a one time deal, that will tour and continue to make albums. Tera Melos is still together and Zach Hill is now in the thick of another solo album (not to mention a lot of other things):
