Fucked Up, Cloud Nothings, Nation of Thieves
Tuesday, September 7, 2010 Manic Productions presents
Location:
Lilly's Pad (Toad's Place Upstairs)
300 York Street
New Haven, CT
7:00pm - All Ages - $14 ($12 advance)
Buy tickets now or pick them up at Redscroll Records or DETRITUS
Fucked Up's second album, 'The Chemistry Of Common Life,' synthesizes the bands' numerous musical directions into an expansive epic about the mysteries of birth, death, and the origins of life (and re-living). Merging elements of hardcore riffage with up to 70 tracks of guitars, organs, winds and vocals, (including 18 guitars on the first single, the fatalistic "No Epiphany"), the music remains iconoclastic and startling, with Pink Eyes' vocals front and center. Matador Records
It's not often that Cleveland, Ohio gets a ray of sunlight in the winter, but Cloud Nothings set out to change that in a characteristically dreary November in 2009. Cloud Nothings is the bedroom project of Cleveland teenager Dylan Baldi, who has spent the past months traversing the endless wires and non-wires that make up the internet, carving out a niche for his take on lo-fi indie pop. Pairing Robert Pollard-like sentiments with, as Stereogum puts it, the "ebullient, gently snotty" attitude that comes with teenage energy, Baldi immediately caught the attention of California indie label Bridgetown Records, who released his 8 song debut "Turning On" in 2009. The resulting press and public attention led his music to a wider audience as more and more people get addicted to his nonstop hooks and carefully crafted songs. Carpark Records
Nation of Thieves began in early 2009 with the desire among friends to create a band that was devoid of the pretensions and limitations of previous projects. Using their shared love of the passion and intensity of hardcore as a foundation to build upon, the band cultivated their style throughout months of practices until a unique sound emerged.

Formed in Boise in 1992, Built To Spill have influenced countless followers including indie chart toppers Modest Mouse and Death Cab For Cutie. Their transcendent live shows have become legendary. Doug’s Martsch's strong aesthetic combines with the band members’ mix of approaches to create an aural topography. He sets course and navigates. With the complexity and variety of music they have created, Built to Spill endeavors to make songs interesting to themselves and their audience.Year after year, new fans show up. Three and a half years in the making, Doug’s notoriously fastidious writing and recording process pays off big with the latest album “There Is No Enemy.”
Built To Spill - "Hindsight":
At a time when the indie rock scene was close to non-existent in Mexico, Chikita Violenta broke through as a strong independent artistic unit, causing a stream of other emerging independents to follow and a do-it-yourself subculture to emerge in Mexico. Hailing from Mexico City, Chikita Bonita has become the pioneer band for the new Mexican indie wave with two studio albums released to date and the anticipation of their third, TRE3S, set to be released in mid August. With their unique bold English language approach to music that was once unheard of in Mexico, Chikita Violenta has developed a diverse fan base between countries and has plans to tour both Mexico and the U.S. this year.

Heirlooms at Billings Forge
Tomorrow, something fantastic is going to happen in Hartford. Billings Forge, a non-profit organization and performance space in Frog Hollow is now going to be opening up its stage to some of Hartford's most talented musicians and performers.Thursday, September 2nd will mark the first "Billings Forge Indie Music Night" which will feature local indie-folk band Heirlooms. Indie Music Night will be showcasing live musical performances in an intimate setting on the first Thursday of each month. Indie music night is a free event and will run from 8:30pm to 11:00pm.
Here's the lineup:
8:30-8:50 - Jesse Newman
9:00-9:25 - Kyla P.
9:30- 9:50 - "J"on Squared
9:55- 10:15 - Josh A.
10:20-10:45 - Heirlooms
For those of you who aren't aware, Heirlooms are Hartford's newest band. I was handed their new EP the other day (download and purchase it here) and was blown away. They're headed by Jesse Stanford, who many of our dedicated readers should recognize as a local folk music crooner with similar vocal timbre to Ray Lamontagne. If you're interested, he did a live set at my house show last year, you can read more and download the whole thing for free here. Anyway, Heirlooms is sort of a departure from the singer-songwriter vibe, and adding a full band has allowed him to split the songs wide open and give them the breathing room they deserve. There's so many beautifully orchestrated interludes, background electronics, and all the reverb-laden sparseness that I absolutely love. Take notice, this band is going to go places.
I haven't heard many of the other players, with the exception of Josh A. He's a member of Hi-Planes Drifter, and this is his solo work. The tunes are sparse, dense, and dreamy - which is a pretty big departure from his work with HPD. He has a great couple of songs out which are a teaser from his upcoming EP "The Foe", which you can preview thanks to bandcamp below:
