Oh Grand Rapids, what will you bring us next? First Paucity. Then ArtPrize. Now Bangups. My friend Jen turned me onto them and despite it being completely awful outside (as can be expected for the next eight months) they take me to late night bonfires on the beach; good friends close and my wife a little closer. I can’t even explain the noise you’re about to hear so forgive my humble attempt: one part White Stripes, one part Weezer, one part The Animals and a dash of Dylan/country/punk/folk/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. All good.

“Remember when you’re a kid, and everybody’s out go-carting, and someone figured out how to take the governor off the go-cart, so it could just blow everybody away? It’s like someone took the governor off this band.” -Rob Bell

Matthew Clark + Brian Mulder

Posted by Becca on October 13, 2009

After a summer galavanting across Europe our friends Brian Mulder and Matthew Clark are taking up residency in a Dodge Caravan for the month of October as they embark on “an endeavor of high adventeur, powerful beards, original songwriting, a new album, ugly ties and ties that bind our very hearts together… and more!” Ready yourselves; they’ll be in Holland for a house concert on Wednesday, October, 28.

My friend Jordan passed this on via the Twitter. There’s so much going on here it’s overwhelming. You almost have to pick a character and watch it all the way through in order to not get lost in the chaos.

Little Joy – Next Time Around

Posted by Adam Weiler on December 8, 2008

The debut album out from LA based trio Little Joy sounds like a humble summer. Great to be a great listen while shoveling snow and wishing you lived further south.
