Saturday in the Sett – Los Campesinos! with Parenthetical Girls

With the release of LC!’s newest album in November, this long-awaited show is finally here! Pitchfork described Hello Sadness as “their fourth straight great album,” ultimately giving it a solid 8.0. Check it out for yourself below.

Although Parenthetical Girls haven’t released a full-length album in some time, they’re definitely not to be overlooked. If you haven’t heard of the Oregon-based group, their indie pop sound with an experimental edge is sure to win you over Saturday night.

Come to the Sett at 9 PM this Saturday for Los Campesinos! and Parenthetical Girls. Check out the Facebook event HERE. See you Saturday!

Doomtree – “Bangarang” (Video)

What karaoke machine has P.O.S. spitting rhymes back at you, and where can I get one? Doomtree dropped the first video from No Kings last week, which features Har Mar Superstar lip synching to the track as the collective gets rowdy around him. As you may expect if you are familiar with HMS, his rendition involves less and less clothes as the video goes on. Bonus for our Minnesota transplants: The song features a First Avenue name-drop. It’s unknown whether Doomtree will be having a karaoke party in their dressing room when they visit the Sett on March 9th, but one thing is for sure: They’ll bring the energy when they hit the stage. Check out the video below.

Just Announced: YACHT + Asobi Seksu

You may want to take a cue from the picture above and toss some confetti in the air because on February 17th the folks in attendance at The Sett will be treated to a fantastic double-feature when YACHT and Asobi Seksu play back-to-back. YACHT visits after putting out one of the hottest albums of 2011, Shangri-La, which delivered electropop that made us dance and ponder at the same time. Asobi Seksu’s appearance comes almost exactly a year after the release of Fluorescence, their newest album in a long career of shoegaze excellence. Don’t miss a chance to see two bands at the forefront of their craft, making your ears happy for the low, low price of free.

Just Announced

We’re excited to announce that Doomtree are coming to The Sett on March 9th. I’m sure that most of you currently living in the Midwest know who the enormously successful Minneapolis collective is, but the group is made up of emcees P.OS., Sims, Dessa, Mike Mictlan, and Cecil Otter, as well as DJs Paper Tiger and Lazerbeak. They’ve released numerous excellent records, separately and together, with latest release No Kings being a prime example. Come see some homegrown hip-hop for free, as always.

We’re also excited to announce that Rosie Thomas will hit the stage at The Sett on March 24th. The Michigan singer-songwriter’s sixth LP With Love will appropriately be released on February 14th, Valentine’s Day. Don’t want to wait until then? You can currently download her last album for free and hear a few new ones over at her site.

Lower Dens will be playing here in Der Rath March 9th with Yellow Ostrich and Grace Weber!

Download A Lull’s “Some Love” Single + 3 Remixes

It’s a brutal truth: It’s almost time for school again. But on the bright side, the beginning of a new semester also means a return of WUD Music concerts. One of the concerts we’re pumped for is Deleted Scenes / A Lull on February 4th at The Sett, and the following news only makes it harder to wait.

For the moment, if you “like” Mush Records’ Facebook page, you can download A Lull’s “Some Love” single, along with three remixes of the track. The original is excellent, with pulsating drums and daybreak harmonies. Head over and listen for yourself, and be sure to make it out to The Sett when the band hits the stage in a few weeks.
