[Concert] Matt & Kim - Tuesday, June 7th - Czar Bar

Matt & Kim

Tues June 7th 8pm | $20/20 | @ Czar Bar 1430 E 7th Ave Ybor City  Tampa, FL 813.247.2664

Come join as the chaotic, synth-infused, conundrum that is Matt & Kim performs at Czar Bar next Tuesday, June 7th.

Yeasayer - Ambling Alp

 Take a listen to this fantastic track from Yeasayer's 2010 release, Odd Blood. The song imagines what advice Joe Louis's father would have provided him with before becoming a professional boxer. The song gives mention of former World Heavyweight Champ, Primo Carnera. In 1935, Louis took down all 6'5", 285 lbs of Carnera in 6 rounds  Primo's nickname you ask? The Ambling Alp. Good choice, Yeasayer...much better than naming the song "The Brown Bomber."

Destroyer - Kaputt

 On tap is the slightly goofy, jazz influenced, David Bowie-esque single from Canadian artist, Destroyer. The rich 6:18 track is full of cryptic poem-like lyrics and cheesy 80's sax, which becomes almost necessary to the songs success. "Wasting your days chasing some girls, alright/ Chasing cocaine through the backrooms of the world all night," Any song with a saxophone and cocaine references is okay in my book.

Oberhofer - I Could Go


Since there is very little good new music out lately I'll post some older stuff I never got around to. Here's an Oberhofer song from last year, haven't heard it in a while...pretty catchy.

TV On The Radio - Second Song


Color me unimpressed with Nine Types of Light, the new TV On The Radio album. This is by far my favorite track off the much awaited fourth album. "Second Song" displays what TVOTR fans are accustom to, which I feel this album lacks. Give it a listen or two.

Modest Mouse - That'll Be The Day (Buddy Holly Cover)


Modest Mouse does an incredible cover of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be The Day," for the upcoming album Rave On Buddy Holly, out June 28th. What I like most about this cover is how Modest Mouse evolves the song into a true MM track removing the 1950's 'Happy Days' feel of Holly's original.

[mp3] Friendly Fires - Blue Cassette


New single from the Euro band, Friendly Fires. Definitely more of an electronic feel than of old but still maintains the trance-like beats you expect from a FF cut. Do enjoy.
