Brown Shoe - "Diving Bell" | mp3
The latest single off of the groups highly anticipated, fourth album, The Gift Horse.
indie rock, rock in Music Saturday, October 1, 2011 The Rolling Stones display many of their Blues influences on this song - the loping bass line, the blues harmonica, the "soulful" style of singing on the lead vocal and the guitar work.
One of the few Rock groups to celebrate African American music... openly.
Rock and Roll, The Rolling Stones, rock in Music Monday, September 12, 2011 Lightouts live in-studio performance.
"The Green Screening video for "See Clear" was taped during the CMJ Festival last October in Brooklyn, NY. Rhodes of Lightouts had this to say about the experience:
"Director Drew Norton shot over 20 bands in 7 days at Seaside Studios in Brooklyn. We were actually the first band in, which end up being lucky, because the studio was small and super hot. By the end of the shoot it had developed an unappealing aroma. Still, it was amazing to be part of such a ambitious project."
Lighouts is definitely a band in my playlist. ~ Martin C. Smith

The Eloise Suite is the latest single from Brooklyn indie-Rock duo Lightouts - available at iTunes.
Lightouts - The Eloise Suite EP | mp3
Reminds me of Tears for Fears and Nile Rogers' work with the B52s... with more distortion.
Energetic, uptempo, solid melodic progressions.
I look forward to hearing them experiment with background arrangements and more dynamic range on the lead vocal.

The Pricks - A Message of Hope EP | Download
Hip-Hop/Punk/Rock outfit The Pricks come with their A Message of Hope EP.
A Message Of Hope is presented by The Pricks, Us Versus Them, and Cinematic Music Group and features 6 brand new tracks from the Pricks.
Wednesday, May 11, 2011 This is one of those songs that reminds me of where music is today. You have R&B going Pop and Pop doing whatever the hell it wants.
Fortunately, back then you had authentic New York dance music to pull everything back into perspective.
I'm just sayin'...
Queen - "Another One Bites The Dust" is another joint that comes to mind.
Thursday, March 17, 2011 Indie-rock outfit 1,2,3 participated in the Green Screening project, where various musicians play a live set in front of Green Screens and various backgrounds are applied.
So many artists participated in this event that it will take most of this year for all of the videos to come out.
Here they perform "Confetti". #Winning.
