eisley. on tour!

Eisley spring tour announced! For dates, visit Eisley's Myspace. For those in my immediate Tampa area... April 18th!

Three sisters, a brother and a cousin. Little Texas indie band who are as cute as the buttons on their vintage clothing. The Eisley sisters' harmonies are simply heavenly. Formerly known as the Towheads, years ago, they used to play as the house band at their parents coffee shop. Stacy, the youngest sister, was only eight years old at the time. The Eisley sisters have contributed vocals on albums for other bands such as Head Automatica, Bright Eyes and New Found Glory. Eisley recently performed at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Here is a video of a performance of "Mr. Pine" from 2004.

built to spill.

From Boise, Idaho, this indie rock band began their musical ventures in 1992. With seven released albums, they are quite a successful indie band that you've probably never heard of. Built to Spill has been acknowledged as a significant influence to other bands such as Modest Mouse and Death Cab For Cutie, all three of which are part of the Northwest sound -- an American indie rock movement that developed in the early 90s. They have a great euphonic sound with songs both upbeat and mellow. You may or may not have heard the track, "Strange," from the Ancient Melodies of the Future album. Regardless, here is a track I can't seem to stop listening to:



For those in the Tampa area, Built to Spill is playing a show Thursday, March 6. Visit the tour section of the Built to Spill web site for details.
