Grandchildren Add Dates To US Tour And Premiere “Saturn Returns” Remix

Grandchildren, led by citizen of the world Aleks Martray, have added new dates to their tour supporting their album Everlasting, out now on Green Owl. One of these additional dates will see them share the bill with The Coathangers and most importantly, they will perform at the first annual Tell All Your Friends showcase at Brooklyn, NY’s Glasslands on November 11th. You can check the rest of their stops below.

And because they like to do things correctly, this news comes with a little present: a remix of their song “Saturn Returns” by the Brooklyn duo Runaway. In this reinterpretation, the song resembles tripped out old school electronic music similar to what I imagine you would hear if you took your old Game boy to a smoky club. Check it out:

Good Old War To Tour With Dr. Dog, Joshua Radin


Good Old War, one of the fastest up-and-coming bands on the planet, will keep to the road this fall. The band announced a bunch of supporting tour stops, with the red-hot band Dr. Dog, maestro Joshua Radin and tour mainstays Dashboard Confessional.

If you haven’t heard these guys yet, you’ve run out of excuses. Their self-titled debut has recently been picked to be part of iTunes’ Discovery Download program, which means it’s on iTunes right now…for less than ten bucks (their single “That’s Some Dream” is free).

Here is Good Old War’s first single from the album, “That’s Some Dream.” The video was shot on tour, because these guys are so busy they can’t stop to film a music video.

The Wombats Release New Single

UK’s favorite rockers, The Wombats have been diligently hammering out their sophomore full-length under the tutelage of famed producer Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, All-American Rejects) for a couple years now.

Now the first single, “TOKYO (Vampires & Wolves)” is ready to be heard. Featuring an intensely dance-centric beat and flavorful synths, the song showcases the Wombats’ evolution musically. Check  out the music video below, in which the band engages in gruesome rock-star behavior, sugarcoated with drugs and booze.

Look for the Wombats’ new album early in 2011, with a tour announcement sure to follow.

Check Out Banjo or Freakout’s Cover of NDF

NDF is one of the most respected names in dance music, so it’s no surprise to hear that other artists like their work.

Banjo or Freakout’s cover of NDF’s seminal single “Since We Last Met” is exactly what a cover should be; almost completely different from the original.

While NDF start out with claps and a giant bass loop, the cover starts out a little more mellow, with almost creepy ambiance. The cover is also a lot longer than the original (almost twice as long). You can check it out (and download it, fo free!) right here.
