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.

Yellow Ostrich

After a series of unfortunate events (check out details here), Ra Ra Riot informed us that they would not be able to attend their show this Saturday in the Sett. However, Delicate Steve and Yellow Ostrich will still be playing! In August, Yellow Ostrich rereleased their album, The Mistress, with 3 new bonus tracks. Both bands have been touring with Ra Ra Riot this fall.

If you haven’t heard them before, here’s a sample!

See you Saturday at 9:30 PM!

Come see Memoryhouse, The Loom and Cat Martino this Saturday in the Der Rathskeller at 9:30 PM!

Memoryhouse, a dreampop ensamble from Sub Pop Records, is currently in the final stages of production for their first LP after a September release of a fully re-recorded, remixed and re-mastered version of their EP, The Years. If you haven’t yet, check out the dreamy sound of Memoryhouse in the video below.

The show will kick off with indie-folk songstress Cat Martino, who has opened for the likes of Rufus Wainwright, RIDE frontman Mark Gardener, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and more.


Yr Not Alone – Cat Martino 

Following, WUD Music is proud to bring the Brooklyn-based indie-rock band, The Loom to Madison. NPR‘s World Cafe assures us that they’re sure to put on an “electrifying onstage performance that combines lots of instruments and lots of chemistry, and now lots of buzz as well,” according to an article released just this month. Check out their sound below:

See you Saturday!

My Gold Mask, a band Pitchfork equated with the sound of early Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, will be playing Der Rathskeller alongside singer-songwriter Briar Rabbit this Friday night at 9:30 PM. You’ll love the indie electronic sound of My Gold Mask paired with the soulful, heartfelt sound of Briar Rabbit. Definitely a must-see! Check below for a little taste of both:

FRIDAY, OCT. 28TH | UNION SOUTH | THE SETT | 8 PM

 

Ever since Pitchfork expressed their shock over Kreayshawn and Neon Indian‘s college tour dates together (which launched at the University of Iowa on Monday), we’ve been eagerly awaiting this show. Neon Indian was named in Pitchfork’s Best New Music and one of Rolling Stone’s hottest new bands of 2010. There’s certainly a lot of hype for this indie electronic group and Kreayshawn is sure to entertain as well. Since the Best New Artist nominee’s “Gucci Gucci” hit it big, there’s already been heaps of drama surrounding the California-born star. This indie rap/electronic duo will not disappoint, so don’t miss it!

Check out Neon Indian’s performance of “Polish Girl” on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon below and if you haven’t seen the video for Kreayshawn’s “Gucci Gucci” yet, we highly suggest that you get out from under your rock and check it out. You won’t regret it!



We’re eager to see this show and happy to bring a piece of this great (however unexpected) tour to UW-Madison!

This Saturday: Obits & Bottomless Pit

Obits

If some good old fashioned rock music is what you’re into in this chilly fall weather, then you won’t want to miss Obits and Bottomless Pit at 10 PM in the Sett this Saturday!

Pitchfork describes Obits’ sound as “dueling guitars that have refined the echo and twang of surf and rockabilly into a sharp edge, basslines that are less walking than swaggering, drums too respectful and too evil for elaborate fills” and Bottomless Pit’s newest album, Blood Under the Bridge, met a sea of positive feedback after its release. The two acts are a perfect match for some classic rock music. If you’re looking for gritty, energetic rock, you’ll love Obits. If you’re looking for something a little more laid-back, then Bottomless Pit is for you. Together, you can’t go wrong!
