To Trini: You Are Correct, Everyone should Love Guggenheim Grotto
Fellow blogger friend Trini over at You Crazy Dreamers cannot say a bad thing about her mates Guggenheim Grotto. She even went so far as to join them on a recent set of shows across the pond and it sounded like a great little trip and tour – great music, great pints, great couple of…

Baby Eagle. This is definitely not the Constantines.
Baby Eagle…hmmm, somehow got onto this member of the Constantines solo project the other day. Why is it that the solo projects from band members are often nothing like their day jobs? Maybe a release, maybe they need to expand, spread their wings and just not do the same thing? Most likely…I guess you can’t…

The Cloud Hymn – New Album & Interview
The day has come (or actually tomorrow, March 3rd) and we have the release of the debut album from “The Cloud Hymn”. I have been waiting for this album for a while now ever since I started listening to a few demos last year and was so impressed, that I had to post then…on just…

Chriss Sutherland & Brown Bird – Spring Tour 2009
One tour I would love to see would be the upcoming tour of Brown Bird and Chriss Sutherland. While both have been featured here on Slowcoustic in the past (here & here), teaming up these two…that is bad ass. Chriss has a new album “Worried Love” and Brown Bird will be looking to also have…

Rewind Friday – Canadian Edition
So in a lame attempt to put a post out, I give you a mish mash of Canadian artists over the past few years. Some newer than others….some better than others…overall a pretty decent Friday I must say. Now, don’t get all “these are simply the mainstream indie-Canadian bands” on me…I didn’t say it was…

Kentucky Nightmare are anything but…
A new tune from Kentucky Nightmare that I am currently enamored with is “Caroline & I” from the new release “Take Her Favour”. I hope you will enjoy it as well. I also think I like them because of the description of the creating process of the album as such: After excruciatingly enjoyable sessions at…

Doghouse Roses – How’ve you Been (all this time)?
The 10 original songs, written during 2007, capture tales of small town frustrations, hard fought triumphs and a constant need to be moving partly inspired by the motorway that carves through the centre of their hometown, Glasgow. The album was recorded with producer Malcolm Lindsay (Willard Grant Conspiracy, The Delgados) after they were invited by…

New Jitney Album Released on Rock Proper!
A busted leg, a year plus recovering and two years driving a taxicab came between Casey Meehan’s Violet and his new project Jitney. Kind faces, cruel faces, always going somewhere, were the wildflower seeds planted in the cracked leather backseat that grew into these songs. 6pm to 6am, 6 nights becoming dawns each week, with…

A FatCat Records Playlist
Woot! Part three of the a series I have going on record labels (part 1, part 2). This time we have the ever impressive “FatCat Records” from Brighton (and Brooklyn). FatCat Records is pretty much an “ahead of the curve” indie label with a few great “straight ahead” indie artists. If you are a bit…

Bonus Presidential Downloads
Just because I have been trolling various music sites in the last few days, I have found a few tracks that I would have attached to previous posts, but simply didn’t find them by the time I posted. Bad, bad blogger – research all available venues, exhaust every possible nook and cranny of the internet…
