BEINGS + PLAINS @ VAGABOND

Join the good people of Discosama Records this Friday October 29th at The Vagabond for the Beings 7" release party with the always stunning PLAINS.

PLAINS - "TEAM RADIO" VIDEO

Here is the Flash Gordon inspired video for "Team Radio" by Plains. You can grab the 7" over at Discosama Records. Full length will be out on 10K Islands sometime soon.



Rumor has it Plains will be playing at Vagabond on October 29th.

John Hancock +11 LIVE @ Vagabond Fridays

John Hancock (the founding father of the ANR) will be performing his recently released record, Antenna Death, with an eleven piece band on June 11th at the Vagabond. Horns, guitars, keys, lady singers and way too many drummers will make up this Parliamentary inspired event including members of Animal Tropical, Plains and ANR. Swampy, sleazy craziness will ensue, so don't sleep on it!

10K Islands Music Mix Volume II - Memorial Day

We're back with another mix. Last edition was for SXSW and caused a lot of bands to get signed to lucrative major label record deals with large cash signing bonuses and complete artistic control on all future projects. Now we've got one for a beautiful Memorial Day Weekend. Summer is here which means pig roasts, clam bakes, crab boils, icing bros, oyster/champagne parties, BBQ's etc.

I Can't Hear You

Great article from The New York Times regarding sound quality of music today. The effects of technology and ease of procurement versus creating a listening experience.

Plains is considering releasing an alternate version of the debut album (coming this summer!) availble in 5.1, could be dope surround sound experience.

Plains - "Innovator" Video

Thanks to Transparent Blog for a mention of Plains and the "Innovator" video! 

 

We think it's a good one as well.
