Quick Update

A few notes for you:

One, I updated the calendar. It's got new shows (in the distant future) listed as School of Seven Bells in October at the Pearl Street Clubroom and, in the less distant future, you can look forward to shows like Man Man at Daniel Street in Milford, Conn. this Wednesday and Cotton Jones at the Space on Thursday in Hamden, Conn. More dates on the way soon. 

Two, I'm going to start reviewing some more albums. Got any suggestions? Or, at least, are there any records you're anticipating?

Three, I'm going to be messing with the RSS feeds by Feedburner. Watch out.

Apparently, Tonight Is Your Night, Bro

"It's On Them"

Hartford Party Starters Union is putting on a little shindig tonight at Europa in Hartford, Conn., starting at 9 p.m. There will be $1.50 Pabst, so you know it'll be classy, with free pizza and give-aways. DJ Rizzla, PK Partytime and Dirty D. will be there to get things going.

The Facebook page looks quite impressive, and the event will be even more so if the trio can pull off packing 79 + people into this place.

Anyways:
It's On Us
@ Europa (438 Franklin Avenue)
Hartford, Conn.
FREE / 9 p.m.
18+

Let us know how it goes, OK?

Update on VW's New Album

Vampire Weekend just posted a little blog post on their MySpace indicating that Rostam Batmanglij's Discovery LP is out. You can get it legally, now.

And, they are working on the final stages of their new album, name TBA. It's expected to be released in the fall. There are rumors that songs "White Sky" and "Arrows" will make the cut. Add to that "Boston," maybe. Regardless of what the critics say, "White Sky" has potential. I'll admit it's underwhelming at first, yes, but it grows on you past two or three listens. Ezra Koenig's vocals around the chorus are a little painful to listen to (high-pitched yelps of "Ooo-oo-wah-hooo") and maybe the song isn't exactly a fantastic departure from the VW catalogue, but it works. And I think they're planning on messing with it and amping it up, anyways.

We can expect more news on the album soon.

For now, the band's booked for All Points West, July 31 in Jersey City, N.J. and Lollapalooza in Chicago, Ill. on Aug. 9.
