Drew Danburry ‘Memorial Day’
Just when you didn’t think we could find a song about Memorial Day we proved you wrong. Indie artist Drew Danburry who has just recently toured with those lovely lads in Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, hasn’t always had it easy when he comes to music (remember his disaster of a tour in 2008?), but it doesn’t stop him from making brilliant songs. We’re sure he is of the very few musicians to have a song about Memorial Day (at least that we know of). Maybe he wrote it just for that reason.

Alvin Band ‘Temple Pressure’
Miniature Tigers’ Rick Schaier is more than just the man behind the drums of one of the greatest new indie bands out there. Schaier is also paving his way as Alvin Band, his solo project of avant garde proportions. Just releasing the first video for ‘Temple Pressure’ a catchy song that will have you up and dancing to say the least, Schaier really brings out his witty personality. Alvin Band’s ‘Mantis Preying’ will be out this year via Intelligent Noise Records. This will be a must have for 2009, trust us.

Wavves ‘So Bored’, Acoustic
I think of Wavves as the baby brother band of MGMT. As odd as that may or may not sound to some of you, you have to admit they have the same vibe. Recently TheyShootMusic.com from Austria, has filmed the band playing ‘So Bored’ amongst a few others, acoustically. It really lets the listener get more of the song in my opinion. Stripped down and raw is the only way to describe it. Wavves are getting big, huh?
Wavves are currently on tour with a stop at the Bowery Ballroom in late June. Check out their tourdates HERE

Calvin Harris Remixes Passion Pit
I think the title says it all. Calvin Harris recently remixed Passion Pit’s ‘The Reeling’ and the only reaction that can explain this is ‘WOW’. Combining two of the current hottest musical forces Harris manages to give a whole new life to this Passion Pit song….just when you didn’t think one of their songs could possibly get any better. Giving the song a little softer tone and a brilliant into bassline I can only imagine what would happen if these guys made a record together.
Passion Pit is currently on tour so don’t forget to check them out in your city! Tour dates can be found at their Myspace.

Modest Mouse ‘Guilty Cocker Spaniels’
Modest Mouse, oh has it been that long since we’ve heard from you last? It seems like it. The band has just released the first single off thier upcoming record ‘No One’s First And You’re Next ‘ titled ‘Satellite Skin’, but the band has now released the B-side of the vinyl single ‘Guilty Cocker Spaniels’. The single will be out on vinyl, limited edition of 4,000 copies, on May 26th. Try and get your hands on it. ‘Guilty Cocker Spaniels’ is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs by the band…maybe its because I have a cocker spaniel.
