the strange boys
they've been around for a few years and are apparently on a bunch of "bands to watch" lists (not that those ever mean anything). it's garage rock at its finest with great lyrics to boot. they'll be in atlanta and tuscaloosa in april, but have no nashville plans yet. the alabama date is the same night as brian jonestown massacre at exit/in, but if anybody wants to carpool to atlanta i'm all for it. their new album ...and girls club was released on march 3 or comes out march 24 depending on the source.
the handsome family
i'm ashamed to admit that i had never heard of the handsome family before this year. they've been around for well over a decade and obviously i've been living in a cave the whole time. i'm planning a trip to chicago just to see this highly accomplished indie/folk band play - that's how much i like the handsome family. and i think their song "so long" will end my show from now on. their new album honey moon comes out on april 14.
the handsome family - so long
the asteroid #4
i'm a sucker for any psychedlic space rock band that goes through the trouble of projecting cool shit behind them while onstage (think: the black angels at exit/in last summer). especially if they're good. this band gets a star by its name for covering spacemen 3:

blitzen trapper
yeah, they're not super new to me, but i hadn't heard of them a year ago so it counts. plus, they're fresh in my mind because they put on an excellent show at mercy last night. i was expecting a more subdued folksy concert, but i got straight up rock and roll instead - not bad at all.
