Heh...Tame Impala merits covers already?

I just got these two downloadable songs from Fremantle/Perth band San Cisco and am much enjoying their quirky spiritedness. Click here for video and more info.

"Solitude is Bliss"

"Golden Revolver"

Julie thanks for posting the video by Even. Didn't know they had an album coming out soon - great news!

Pretty new Even tune... title track, actually, from an impending album:

Exciting news copied and pasted from an email I just got from Green Light Go:

"Grand Atlantic

Friday, March 18

The 2nd Annual International PSYCHOUT!
Paisley Umbrella: SXSW

2928 Guadalupe Austin, TX
Show: Noon-7:00 pm
With: The Hoa Hoa's, The Broadfeild Marchers, Strangers Family Band, Runaway Suns, The Ugly Beats and The Chevelles"

What a lineup! (Someone needs to work on that "i before e" meme  for the Marchers, though.) And, Julie, it looks like The Paisley Umpbrella simply got its days of the week mixed up in that flyer at their website. March 18 is a Friday.

In contemplating matters tribal, my mind turns naturally to a favorite Brisbane band of the late 80s, The Screaming Tribesmen, who did a very nice job of melding jangle and crunch. Below are my three favorite songs from their 1987 release, Bones + Flowers. You can hear more at Grooveshark and buy some at very reasonable prices at Amazon.

Love that band! "How We Survive" is a great record. If that bill on the Green Light Go link is for this year's SXSW, I am going to be there all weekend!

I just got the grand news that Brisbane band Grand Atlantic has scheduled a U.S. tour that includes performances at South by Southwest in Austin. You can hear/download three mp3s at their Green Light Go publicity page. (including a cover of Big Star's "September Gurls.") Oh, what the heck, here's one to give you a taste.

Yeah, Julie, I'm looking forward to seeing the actual schedule. I did a post here at RRT about bands that caught my eye at the SXSW 2011 site. I'm interested in whom you and other Tribespersons might recommend.

Oh, man, now I almost have to go to SXSW. Hope Dom's on the weekend, so I can see it!
