Video: Clare And The Reasons "All The Wine"

Clare And The Reasons recently released a new video for "All The Wine," a tune which I feel has a nice Beatles-esque vibe to it. Check it out below, along with a lovely session with Athens Soundies, where the band performed "Wake Up (You Sleepy Head)" and an amazing cover of the Genesis tune, "That's All." The new release, Arrow, is out now via Frog Stand.

Marissa Nadler at Schubas (11.17.09)

Marissa Nadler performed a wide variety of tunes tonight at Schubas. Accompanied by Carter Tanton, of the band Tulsa, on a few tunes, I was surprised that they only played two tunes off the new release, Little Hells, out via Kemado. I guess it doesn't matter too much because all of her tunes are hauntingly beautiful. Marissa, apologetic for the lack of stage banter, had confessed early on that she's terribly shy. Again, not a big deal to me, I was there for her lovely music. Wrapping up her tour with Alela Diane tomorrow at 7th Street Entry, in Minneapolis, Nadler will play a few more shows before beginning work on a new record.


Setlist

01. Diamond Heart
02. Hyacinth
03. Salutations In The Dark
04. I'm On Fire (Bruce Springsteen Cover)
05. Dying Breed
