Indie rockers, We Were Promised Jetpacks will play Tremont’s Casbah Theater on February 17th.  This UK act has just released the schedule for its first US Tour in support of their debut album These Four Walls. This show should have a lot to offer and is the next date after Brooklyn, which may already be but will absolutely be SOLD OUT.  Hope to see it SELL OUT here.

Super Ape is a collective of Charlotte natives consisting of Stephen Barrett (programming, samplers & turntables), Dirty Haire (drums, programming & samplers), Christopher Holston (guitar & keyboards), Jason Michel (bass, keyboards & programming), Scott Slagle (keyboards, percussion, programming & samplers).  The official imperial military band of the Planet Baddass flies down to the Earth for a special intimate performance of their infectious Electronic/Dub/Rock sound at the Visulite Theatre w/ guest DJs George Brazil, Scott Weaver & Jah Sun Rising.

This group of guys is a total class act from top to bottom.  Many Charlotte music community members know these guys for different initiatives through the years and if you know them then you know how class act they are as citizens and musicians within the community.

This dub act is inspired by the great Lee “Scratch” Perry. This is certain to be an event filled with gorilla suits, rasta, and enjoyable times had for all.  If you are in town then by all means check this event out and purchase the new 7″ vinyl they are releasing in union with this festival of super apes.

Spoon releases Transference on January 18th as the follow up to Ga Ga Ga. Without question this personally is my most anticipated release of the year.  This band that holds a special place in my heart ever since Delicate Place from the album Gimme Fiction was playing at my favorite watering hole of 2003, Dilworth Bar & Grill and the barkeep turned me onto them.  Since then they are/have been one of my top 5 artist of all time.

If you buy one album in 2010, buy this album.

Likely, you already know them whether you know it or not.  Spoon is the soundtrack to so many movies, tv shows, and commercials that I have lost count. Most notable, they were essentially the entire soundtrack for the movie Stranger than Fiction with Will Farrell but have also been featured in the Simpsons, Scrubs, Chuck and even a small indie film I enjoy The Puffy Chair to name a few that I personally have noticed.

They are on Merge Records, which calls North Carolina home and beyond its roots and amazing talent on the roster they are good people doing good things for music across the nation and world.  Check out Merge Radio to hear more of the amazing lineup of artist on Merge Records.

Spoon- the underdog

Vampire Weekend’s self titled debut was easily the most exciting album to come out of 2008. Mansard Roof and Wolcott were two songs that were staples of my IPod that year and since. January 12th they release the second dose with Contra on XL Recordings.

This album holds a lot of potential but also a lot of expectation within indie circles.  Still with little traditional FM airplay, they have build a serious following.  This album will surprise the chart watchers and just may finally break the hurdle of entering the mainstream of American music.  With a little luck, Charlotte will get the opportunity to see Vampire Weekend in the support of the new album.

The album will be available almost everywhere records are sold but I recommend supporting Charlotte’s Manifest Records on South Boulevard.  They are avid supporters of Charlotte music and music in general.
