Great Northern| Houses
Great Northern are set to release there sophomore release “Remind Me Where The Light Is” on April 28. A solid band indeed but the only issue we have with the new single “Houses” which is a great track from the California duo, is it could be mistakened for something Metric has or already done. We’ll
I Love You Airlines| Love You Like Lions
I Love You Airlines (no that’s far from any ode to NYC airports) is a lovely duo created in the greatest city on earth. Edi (Vocals) & Paul (Bass) have filled any voids we’ve had trying to start the day with a fun pop tune. New wave seems to be on a resurgence and “Love
Yeah Yeah Yeahs | Animal Collective Remix and SNL Performance
This is honestly the last time your going to hear about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, track, Zero on this site. The reason why we’ve (or should I say I) been so intrigued with it lately is because the much hyped and blogged about, Animal Collective signed up to remix this. Now that it’s out, it’s
Bats For Lashes | Use Somebody [Kings Of Leon Cover]
We hear everyone’s cry’s and read your comments about how Kings of Leon are getting worst and worst each progressive album. Oh snap, seen what I did there…I said progressive. You have to think a group’s sound would grow and change each album. The Beatles first album sounds nothing like their last one. I feel
Halloween, Alaska | Gone With The Wind
On this start of the work week, we wanted to open the cafe with some thing mellow and lax. Minnesota based band, Halloween, Alaska is just the right mix we need. Consisting of James Diers (voice, keys, guitar), Matthew Friesen (bass, sampler), Jacob Hanson (guitar) and David King (drums). Halloween, Alaska formed way back in
Asher Roth | As I Em feat. Chester French
There was a snippet of this track laying around the internets a few days ago, and then a couple of hours later the full version hit. We were reluctant to post this at first, because it seems like Asher’s entire album has been dropping a single each week leading up to his release. But hey…better
Melanie Fiona | Heartless [Kayne West Cover]
While in London opening for Mr. Hudson, Melanie Fiona took the time to totally embarrass Kanye’s West version of Heartless. I still love Ye’s version, but it’s sounds better when someone who can sing lays down vocals. After the jump check out Melanie Fiona and Talib Kweli’s track, Give it to Me Right.
St. Vincent | Actor Out of Work [Video]
I’ve never been a fan of St. Vincent, but I respect her work. I respect her so much, I even went as far as getting an advance copy of her forthcoming album, Actor, which is due May 5th. Listening to it, I have to say I was impressed. I really never gave her the light
Sean Bones| Sugar In My Spoon
As good weather still awaits us, thoughts of relaxing in the sun seem far fetched at this very moment. Straw hats and flip flops are put on hold for a bit but there’s always music to pass the time. Sean Bones a.k.a Sean Sullivan may be just as new to you as ourselves (discovered yesterday)
Kayne West | Street Lights [Unofficial Video]
Normally we never posted anything from the mainstream. At the Cafe we try to promote indie or unheard music (which is normally indie for some reason). This time I’m promoting the director, Mills Miller, more than the artist. One of my good friends, the dude has been posting video after video and is eventually going
2009 Rock The Mic Tour | Featuring less rock this year
This year’s Rock The Mic Tour has a solid line-up which will be heading to every major city in the US. There isn’t any rock on this tour compared to last year, when Rage Against the Machine performed. RATM is probably the only rock group I can see playing with the rest of these
Broken Records | Studio Diary [Video]
One of our choices for Fresh Faces 09, Broken Records has finally put out some material…not exactly the material we want. But at least we know they are working on their album. The footage above was filmed at Monnow Valley Studios, around January 2009. Now all we need is date for when this album is
