Check Out: Givers in Paste Magazine; Playing Black Cat, May 7 and 529, May 21

People are getting pretty giddy about this new band Givers, including Paste, who had them as a “Best of What’s Next” recently:

“Feel-good Louisiana quintet Givers packed a lot into 2009. In October, less than a year after its first live show, the face-painted, feather-bedecked band was drafted to tour with arty darlings Dirty Projectors; that coup was followed shortly by the release of Givers’ self-titled debut EP, which zydeco label Valcour Records broke genre-ranks to distribute.”

We have a pair of tickets to give away for their D.C. gig at Black Cat on May 7 – just email us at win@ticketalternative.com with “Givers” in the subject line.

Black Cat, May 7

529, May 21

Q&A with White Hinterland; Playing DC9 with Dosh on April 25 and 529 on April 28

By Alec Wooden

Fresh off the release of their second release, Kairos, White Hinterland‘s Casey Dienel and Shawn Creeden discuss musical philosophies, the new record’s decidedly new direction and Creeden’s post-practice pasta dishes.

What’s your general philosophy as an artist?

Casey Dienel: When I feel curious about something, I’m compelled to explore and experiment with it. Maybe I discover a new range in my voice, or a new approach to rhythm. Discovery is so so so important. Without it, I would probably disengage. Part of the reason for this is that music is by nature ephemeral – you can never recreate anything exactly the same way twice. You sing a melody and it’s gone, time carries it away. So as soon as I complete a song or a record, I try to let go of it. Some elements stick, but I believe that whatever comes back to you is all that’s worth keeping. If by being ourselves we can illuminate or expand what passes for beautiful/interesting in pop/music/art — there is no greater contribution I could hope to have.

Kairos is an interesting record name, meaning (loosely translated) “supreme moment” in Greek. How’d you settle on that?

CD: I’m obsessed with Latin and Greek mythology/philosophy. When I saw the word, it was instant. We’d been trying to name our record, using descriptors like “time outside of time” or “filmy, diaphanous, hypnotic”. It hit me and that’s usually how I make all the big decisions: from the gut.

Do you have a “supreme moment” of your career thus far?

God, I hope not! I hope it’s still on its way. … Continue Reading

CANCELED: Titus Andronicus @ 529, April 19 – TONIGHT!

Titus Andronicus has had to cancel their show at 529 in Atlanta tonight. We got word from the band’s manager that the band’s bus broke down en route to the city and they unfortunately won’t make it to the venue in time. Refunds are now being made at point of purchase.
