Tour Date Roundup: Jason Collett, Tumbledown, The Black Seeds, and IODA Artist at Treasure Island FestWith over 1.5 million records sold in the US alone, Mike Herrera may be best known for being the frontman of MXPX, but his solo project turned full-fledged band, Tumbledown, is coming into its own and finding a sound all their own. Tumbledown returns with the band’s sophomore full-length album, Empty Bottle, and adds more to the unique alchemy of pop-punk, outlaw country, americana, and rock-a-billy that make them truly unforgettable. The record was also mixed and mastered by Stephen Egerton of the Descendents.

The New York Times Hearts IODA Artists at SXSW!

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

The New York Times’ Art Beat section recently reviewed a series of performances at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin, and it seems our beloved IODA artists made quite an impression on them! Here’s a list of some of the artists and what Art Beat had to say about their performances (some of the quotes come from a feature they do called the “four word review;” it’s easy to guess which ones):

Frightened Rabbit: “Frightened Rabbit–singular noun, full band–devotes itself to hangdog anthems. Its stage patter was so unassuming that the band’s lead singer, Scott Hutchison, insisted the group had been outplayed by an opening act, We Were Promised Jetpacks. But the music contradicted that humility.” – Jon Pareles

Hauschka: “Hauschka … builds his repeating structures with a Romantic ear — pensive minor chords, inviting melodic lines, slow-cresting dynamics — and, sometimes, a foundation of rock rhythm. Even with their echoes of Philip Glass, the pieces were ingenious and exquisite.” – Jon Pareles

Still Life Still: “…just when we were about to get back to work, Still Life Still kicked in. The band’s set was full of time shifts, sudden vocals and minor chords, but managed to make obtuse angles fit together almost sweetly. We stayed. The world and its petty needs would have to wait.” – David Carr

Broken Social Scene: “… Emily Haines of Metric wandered onstage in a gray hoodie, along with her bandmate James Shaw, to knock down a version of “Anthems for a 17 Year Old Girl.” Oddly enough, the addition of yet even more people seemed to solve the math and steady the presentation. By the end, people were even dancing.” – David Carr

Thee Oh Sees: “Thee Oh Sees have the propulsion of punk and the whirl of psychedelia, and the foursome … drew a few hundred people. A few hundred very enthusiastic people … the vibe was far more chummy than polished. The group performed in a tight knot with the audience clustered inches around it. There was a mosh pit and even some crowd-surfing. At times the dancing was so hard the bridge shook.” – Melena Ryzik

Real Estate: “Rollin’ downriver, beery haze.” – Ben Sisario

Warpaint: “They start out airborne, with high rippling chords and pinging patterns; soon one of the women starts singing a line or two that becomes an incantation, usually about a tense relationship: “All the time it took you to get yourself straight,” one chides. And then the drums kick in, the bass dives down and Warpaint turns downright funky while the guitars still float. First they hypnotize; then they get you dancing.” – Jon Pareles
