Paleo Show + The Heat Index vs Roark

Our show w/ Paleo is on Thursday at 8 pm. Y'all should come out to the Dead Birdhouse early. We're trying to get the music started as soon as possible ... I've been listening to this number a lot lately. I like that it is based off such a simple repeating phrase. Some good truth in this:

ALSO -- Our good friends The Heat Index will be creating a lot of good noise in Aggieville on Saturday (3/12) afternoon along with the band Roark in honor of Fake Patty's Day. This is gonna be at our locally owned record store, Sister's of Sound, at 12 noon. (facebook event)

See you soon.

Dig It: New Kurt Vile Record Streaming on NPR, Paleo, Cowboy Indian Bear

Hello comrades,

Been listening to Kurt Vile a lot lately. You can get caught in the stream of his album on good ol' NPR:

Come to the Paleo show next Thursday. We will be playing a batch of new songs, and we've soundproofed the Red Room (as to avoid the po-po).

As for other news, Lawrence-gem Cowboy Indian Bear is playing at our place on March 31st. I really enjoy this band. Come out and give them some mandatory love.


Peace, understanding, stamina, etc.,
Dan/TLE

Postmortem: The Replay & Auntie Mae's; & Things to Come

Thanks to everyone who came out to our shows this weekend at the Replay Lounge and Auntie Mae's. 'Twas our first show at the Replay, and we had a swell time. Our next show isn't until March, when Paleo will be paying us a visit. If you're not familiar with his tunes, investigate here:


Nowadays, the band is giddily planning our summer tour. We will be spending roughly two weeks on the road this June, and we already have holds for a few scattered dates. If you know anyone in the Middle West who might want to throw together a house show, shoot us an email at thelowendmusic@gmail.com.

This week we will begin recording the Hemingway LP. Yesterday, we bought a glockenspiel at a pawn shop after a solid meal of Mexican food. Both the Mexican cuisine and the glock will serve us well in the recording process....

Peace & love,
Dan/TLE

P.S.
I've been listening to this Sparklehorse song a lot lately. Might as well share it with you:
