Drummer wanted for an established birmingham-based noise pop band dedicated to making interesting, loud music. We have a enough songs for a set or two, and a city centre practice room. We listen to Sleater-Kinney, Cap'n Jazz, Les Savy Fav and Chavez, but that doesn't mean you should. Commitment to gigging, practicing, song-writing and the consumption of tea and biscuits essential.

The Changes @ Emo's 3.7.7

Wed 7 Mar – The Spinto Band, Dios Malos, The Changes
Thanks to the marvelous Daytrotter Sessions, I recently came across this great new band from Chicago called The Changes. I've been looking everywhere for their album, to no avail. Luckily though, being in such an amazing music city like Austin, the bands are more likely to come to you instead. So, with nothing else to do on a Wednesday night (my Astronomy test tomorrow is already a lost cause), I decided to head over to Emo's.
Even though The Changes began their set to about 20 people, they put on such an energetic and enthused performance I can guarantee they made at least that many new fans, myself already included. I don't think I've ever seen a band combine elements of hard rock, indie pop, and new wave so successfully. Think The Rakes, without the accents and the expensive clothes. Their guitarist, who looks like a Hispanic Orlando Bloom, can shred like the best of em. And boy, did they rock. The final song of their set, Her, You and I was absolutely amazing. The first half of the song starts off so calm and mellow. Slowly, the song starts to build, layer upon layer. You can sense the anxiousness in the lead singer's voice...and then bam!, the song explodes into controlled chaos. I was incredibly impressed with how polished their live set is. After finally seeing Tacks, the Boy Disaster open for Midlake a couple weeks ago, I was convinced I'd never see a better opening band, at least not so soon. I'm happy to say I was proven wrong tonight. I'd hate to say The Changes stole the show, considering how good The Spinto Band and Dios Malos were. I would write about them too but it's 4AM and I need to study.
The Changes are playing the Metro 25th Anniversary Party on March 14th at Emo's at 4:05 PM! If you're in town for SXSW, please go and check them out. The Changes' Daytrotter Session can be found here. -
Where the wastrels do their thing

Listened to all your Archers of Loaf records to death? Slightly miffed that The Hold Steady now sound a less like Lifter Puller and more like Bruce Springsteen? Like slightly shouty songs that are tenuously related to drinking?
Well here's a song for you...

Xmas is always a time for mixtapes, either as time-heavy/cost-light gifts for loved ones or for particular occasions. Last week The Autumn Store (last.fm group here) had their Xmas party, which included a secret Santa-style mixtape swap. Here's the one I donated...

EDIT: If you like any of the daytrotter stuff, then join the group.
I enjoyed these. Maybe you will too...
