tunes i love tuesday :: grouplove

i saw this band on saturday night and they were so, so rad! i had listened them to a tiny bit on spotify and they definitely exceeded all expectations - seriously one of the most fun bands i've seen in awhile! i also love their "about me" page on facebook, especially this part:

'We never could have dreamt this up" says Zucconi, "but at the same time we're not at all surprised - GROUPLOVE is meant to be. Our story a testament to fate, and our music is something we are ready to share."'

give 'em a listen!

guest post! tunes I love tuesday :: M83

we are so excited to have a guest post by our dear friend Via - she is such a good writer, we think she definitely needs to start a blog, right?! check it:

Aside from this new mini skirt I'm wearing, there's nothing I love more than live music. So when I heard we were going to M83 on, 11.11.11, at the Wonder Ballroom in Portland - I was pumped! I didn't know much of their music -- other than what I'd heard (and loved) in the recent Red Bull film Art of Flight.

Originating in Antibes, France in 2001 and now based in Los Angeles, M83 is a French indie-pop band drawing a mixed crowd of excited teens, hungry twenty-somethings, and hotties in their dirty thirties.

From the moment the house lights came down, and the crazy I-wish-I-were-under-the-influence of-something-other-than-box-wine lights came up, I was sold!


They never stopped. The set list was tight. The packed crowd was wildly enthused. I was in hipster-dance-party heaven.

Monday's Willamette Week review said it perfectly: "M83 suggest a strong '80s influence, filtered through 21st century technology, song-writing and production techniques, and are amongst a growing group of indie and alternative bands that are dipping back into 30-year old New Wave and Post Punk sounds for inspiration."



Lace up your Keds, peal on your skinnies, and check 'em out,
peeps! This band is fist-pumping fun.

thanks Via - we heart you!

tunes i love tuesday :: rumours

every once in a while we like to take you back for tunes i love... and today we're reminding you how good this album is. a classic that will never get old. happy tuesday!

Tunes I Love Tuesday :: Thao with The Get Down Stay Down

I saw the Head at the Heart last week and I won't blog about them again, as we have twice already (here and here). . . but DO go see them if you have the chance. They're amazing and easy on the eyes. Opening for HATH was Thao with The Get Down Stay Down and I haven't stopped listening to her since. She was amazing live and I've become a little obsessed, plus she has great hair! Add to spotify, like, now.

PS: I honestly don't think there's a version of "You've Really Got a Hold On Me" that I don't like!

tunes i love tuesday :: the naked and famous

we saw the naked & famous last week . . . just not together. Boo! BUT, we agreed that they were amazing live! alisa's voice is mesmerizing. 
 check out our fave songs below and add this band from NZ to your spotify immediately!
