Syme: USA and Canada tour dates

Syme

Syme is a Norwegian band from Bergen. It's a harbour town and their music is as unpredictable as the sea. Smooth and quiet at one time, rising up without warning the next. They namecheck Radiohead and Sigur Ros, building their own brand of soundscapes. Syme is able to catch you off balance with surprise covers, like Modern Love (David Bowie).

They have an EP, Modern Love, and a full length album, Swing Swing. A new album is scheduled for release in November.

Syme:
Ketil Endresen: vocals, Rhodes, synth, laptop
Fredrik Vogsborg: vocals, guitar, Rhodes, percussion
Ben Nerdal: bass
Eivind Waage: guitar
Vidar Ingvaldsen: drums

Syme is on tour in the USA and Canada in October:

  • 10/04 Boston, MA @ Hennessey's
  • 10/05 Montreal, QB @ Pop Montreal
  • 10/07 Pittsburg, PA @ TBD
  • 10/08 Buffalo, NY @ TBD

Meat Puppets: Rise To Your Knees

Meat Puppets

The Meat Puppets are back. The Kirkwood brothers have teamed up with new drummer Ted Marcus and recorde an album on a shoestring budget in Austin, TX. Rise To Your Knees is a return to form: the psychedelic guitar riffs, the haunting lyrics, it's all there. Chris Kirkwood kicked his heroin habit and once again provides the rock solid bass lines and washes of keyboards fills.

The Puppets have been through hell and back, splitting, reuniting, splitting again, and reuniting again. Will it last this time? The 2007 version at least came up with a good album. If it sells sufficiently, the Kirkwood bros will no longer need to get by on their Nirvana's MTV Unplugged performance royalty checks.

Meat Puppets: Rise To Your Knees

Meat Puppets:
Curt Kirkwood: guitar, vocals, keys
Cris Kirkwood: bass, vocals, keys, guit-jo
Ted Marcus: drums, percussion

Rise To Your Knees is released on Anodyne Records.

MP3: Meat Puppets - Spit
MP3: Meat Puppets - Disappear
