To The Bones: tonight Madame JoJos

Guardian's band of the day No. 396, are playing tonight in Madame JoJos. Can't get better advertising than that.

I'm a bit over this genre of music, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate good, old-fashioned alt-rock when I hear it. Get it now while it's un-MTV2ed.

The Ergs: A few final breaths

So, as is sometimes the case, as soon as I discover a band and have started to follow them - they announce their impending demise.

The Ergs are the latest to join this list. But before they join, they've got a few last contributions to make:

1. "Hindsight is 20/20, My Friend" 2XLP Dirtnap Records: a delayed release of the LP, due to red tape...
2. "Jersey's Best Prancers" LP re-release Don Giovanni Records.
3. "That's it... bye!" 7" Don Giovanni Records - a set of the last original Ergs songs.
4. Ergs/Teenage Bottlerocket split 7" Suburban Home Records - a split single where each band covers a song from an influence.
5. Ergs/Measure [SA] split 7" No Idea Records - Where each band wrote a song for the other to play
6. "Thrash Compactor" one sided 7" Firestarter/Grave Mistake Records - An unfinished (the 2nd side isn't complete) but to-be-released-nonetheless album.

And then they call it a day! I really hate posting that a band is splitting up...

The Whiskers: "Gold Fury"

The Whiskers, one of my favourite bands to keep an eye on, have just posted a new track on their site.
