Band of The Week 9/4/14
Last night #Jukeboxy went out to Shea Stadium in Brooklyn to check out the Friday night bill of Garcia Peoples, Mannequin Pussy, Ovlov, and Krill.
Garcia Peoples started off the show with a subtle bang, getting the crowd to pay attention and touch shoulders towards their third or fourth song.
After them, Mannequin Pussy came on – getting all the tall boys in the audience a little excited and sweaty. They closed their set with a cover of The Contours “Do you Love Me? (Now That I Can Dance)” which resulted in lead singer/guitarist Marisita Dabeast convulsing and squealing on the floor. It was pretty cool.
Krill closed the night only playing one song from their newest EP, Steve Hears Pile In Malden And Bursts Into Tears. Despite that their set was amazing and gave the crowd more than they could even expect.
But the set that really stole the night was the Newtown, Connecticut Indie Rock group, Ovlov. After Mannequin Pussy had given everyone the feels, Ovlov seemed to grab us by the shirt and shake us relentlessly. It was a blistering set, birthed by
shoegazeish guitar, and the surprisingly catchy melodies of Steve Hartlett (vocals/guitar). We chose Ovlov as Jukeboxy’s band of the week simply because their dazzling riffs and hooks melted our knees last night, even though they borrowed fellow Indie Band LVL UP’s drummer, Gorge (who must’ve learned those songs in like 2 days). Bottom line is, they are truly an amazing young act.

Band of The Week 8-25-14
We here at JukeBoxy have picked Lititz, Pennsylvania band, The Districts, as our Band of The Week.
The Districts have an indie rock-blues-rough folk vibe that can’t be matched by anyone else in any respective music scene. That’s why the Lancaster County band who started out playing shows around their hometown, in friend’s warehouse’s and home’s (see link to Out Of Town Films), got the attention of Mississippi label Fat Possum Records. Possum has signed an excessive amount of renown artists, such as, The Black Keys, Band of Horses, Andrew Bird, Caveman, Christopher Owens (Girls), and Iggy and The Stooges. This label obviously has a musical pallet that has wined and dined with some of the new decade’s most influential and powerful acts. The Districts are no exception.
Earlier in 2013 The Districts only had their self-recorded album Telephone up on Bandcamp and Soundcloud. It is nothing short of an outstanding album, to say the least. It begins with a “good morning” to a girl named “Lyla”, and is orchestrated with the beautiful crooning of lead singer, Rob Grote’s raspy, emotional voice, and the loud plucks, strums, and drums of a band that is flawlessly in sync. The meticulously planned combinations of minor to major changes and chorus to bridge fluctuations, really make you feel like each person in the band poured their pain and sweat into each song.
In November of 2013, The Districts announced their signing with Fat Possum, releasing their single “Vermont” , and a self-entitled EP containing three songs from their previous album, Telephone, and two new songs, “Rocking Chair”, and “Stay Open”. The album attracted much success, gaining them a national tour with White Denim, another band signed to Fat Possum.
The success of these albums, along with the band’s unmatched live performances, cultivated a near cult following. We call it a “cult” following not because of the amount of fans, but because of their loyalty.
While parked outside The City Museum in St. Louis, the band had their van stolen. In the van was all the bands equipment, and some cash from previous gigs. Following suit with their americana vibe, the Districts made due with what they had, and finished the tour by taking Greyhound busses to different cities, and loaning equipment from other bands.
The Districts began a fundraiser on indiegogo.com in order to try and gain funds to buy new gear. In just a matter of months, the band exceeded their goal by 1700 dollars. It’s a beautiful thing that a young band like this can already establish such support and admiration.
And we are not surprised, because If there is one thing you take away from listening to The Districts, it’s that they are a young band with enormous talent, and limitless potential.

Band of The Week 8/18/14
#Jukeboxy ’s first band of the week is Brooklyn’s own Porches..
Throughout the Indie scene, countless bands have consisted of a synthesizer, female harmonies, and lead singer with an obscure range. But Porches. takes all of these over-used idiosyncrasies and morphs them into their own authentic, uncategorized sound.
The simplistic yet powerful style of front-man Aaron Maine’s songwriting swallows the band’s audience almost quickly as his raspy baritone voice. And his brutally-honest, autobiographical lyrics are accompanied by the bassist’s, Greta Kline (Frankie Cosmos), beautiful harmonies. They also may have the best opening lyrics to any album ever, on their track Headsgiving off “Slow Dancing in The Cosmos”. “I’ll give you head before you head to therapy.”
Overall, the intricate combination of all musical forces is what makes them, as a whole, receive enormous admiration from the current New York music scene. Each grain of salt in the band that is Porches. plays a meticulously crucial role in their celestial sound.
We saw Porches. play at The Space in Hamden, Connecticut along with Frankie Cosmos (the alter ego for their bassist, Greta Kline), and Hospitality (now on tour with Jeff Tweedy and his son Spencer). At the show they played a few unreleased songs that still encompassed their fresh, unique style.
We here at #Jukeboxy hope to see these songs, and some more new art released sometime in the near future!
Their next show is at the Bowery Ballroom opening for New York-based indie rock quartet Hooray For Earth. Tickets are available at Boweryballroom.com, or at the door!
Here’s a link to the band’s bandcamp, where you can stream/purchase the bands songs: http://www.porchesmusic.bandcamp.com
Radiohead and Atoms for Peace main man breaks down his beef with the service
Thom Yorke of #Radiohead calls #spotify, "the last desperate fart of a dying corpse."
Yorke's frustration stemmed from Spotify focussing on re-releasing albums from major labels, rather than supporting emerging artists.
Here at #jukeboxy, we support independent labels and unsigned musicians!

All businesses play music… but do all businesses know of the “public performance” licensing agreement that was created in 1998? This act established a separate licensing fee for music played in businesses. This article in The Hartford Courant is a sad example of how using #spotify and #pandora can force entrepreneurs to unknowingly suffer unjustified consequences. #jukeboxy is here to make sure this won’t happen to you!
