    Tour de Fun and other April showers


    Tyler from EA’s Blastoids is putting on quite the bike-ride/party in Murfreesboro, TN, on Saturday, April 10th. His words about the event below:



    “Tour de Fun is going to be a huge community bike ride, which will visit as many house shows as we can. with two bands playing 10 min sets each at each house. the cookout starts at 3pm at MOAB, bring some food and throw it on the grill. during the cookout there will be a foot down competition, trick competition, sprints, and a raffle. around 6:30pm everyone will go to the first house, see two bands, then go to the next and see two bands, and so on. the ride will end at the Temptation Club, where there will be some more bands and DJ’s and food, drinks, friends, and fun. The date for the ride is Saturday April 10th. Tour de Fun is the first step and creating a more tight and friendly bike community. It will also be showcasing a list of local artist and bands.

    A Band Worthy of Your Attention #2: Washed Out




    Yesterday blog GorillavsBear posted the newest song from jumbled and distorted lo-fi Georgia band Washed Out. From his Tour Only album, “Untitled” reminds me, an impatient New Yorker on the brink of spring, of summertime. Ernest Greene, who is Washed Out, currently has the EP Life of Leisure via Mexican Summer Records, a tape, Washed Out, released through Charleston, SC’s Mirror Universe Tapes, and a 7″ available through Lovepump United Records that features Washed Out remixing Brooklyn-band Small Black’s “You’ll See It” on Side A and Small Black remixing Washed Out “Despicable Dogs” on Side B.

    For our Baltimore readers – check out Washed Out at Floristree this Wednesday, March 10. You can find out more here.
