Well I have a huge softee for The Henry Clay People and have for years. Hell I even put out their first ever 7 inch single for “Working Part Time (you can still buy it right here). The kids are gearing up to release a new EP in May entitled “This Is A Desert.”
Ladies and Gents – I have heard the whole thing and I’m happy to say it’s GOOD. The Clays return to their roots on their latest offering with songs more along the vein of their first release “Blacklist the Kid With The Red Mustache” than later projects. I for one am tickled pink to see the band revisiting the sound that set them apart rather than blend in.
You can hear “The Winter Song” off the new EP in the video above. The track is ingeniously set to a video of brothers and band mates Andy and Joey Siara KICKING THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER ON TOUR. My money’s on Andy because he has the crazy hair and evil glint in his eye.

SXSW is officially over and the great exodus has begun from Austin as hundreds of Cali based bands head back to the coast.
Young Prisms are on their way back to San Francisco but will be making a quick stop in LA TONIGHT to perform at pehrspace with Moses Campbell and W.H.I.T.E.
Listen to music below and please let your friends know via the internets (falsebook, twatter, mysuck, and fumblr, and good ole fashioned smoke signals) about this totally fun show! It’s raining cats and dogs but still will be a great show you wont want to miss.
I have been meaning to post this track for a while now. I have absolutely fallen in love with this bouncy/joyous electro track. There is just such a sumptuous vibe and hidden sex appeal in what to the naked ear sounds like a good ole’ fashioned pop gem. I would even venture to say that THIS is my favorite new track of 2011 so far. Wow.
Purity Ring started as a side project of Gobble Gobble is now looking like things are really taking off. Recently Pitchfork gave the track it’s coveted “Best New Track” status and the band recently announced plans for a 7 Inch Single which will be out on Transparent Records in April. You can pre-order the 7 Inch right here.
