While most of are replacing our brightly colored shorts, sandals and shades for scarves, socks and sweaters to prepare for fall’s inevitable reign, Y Luv’s music is forcing us to stay in summer mode. So, you may want to at least unpack those shades on September 13th, if you plan on going to The Roxy to catch the LA-based indie rockers perform tracks from their EP “How Chill Can You Let Go.” Midnight Mirage and Lucy Walsh are also set to perform for the evening. – Nicole Dawley
It seems almost unreal that a band as successful as NYC’s Escort is just about to release their debut full length. The 17 piece "disco-orchestra" has been around since 2006, and since then their music has been a constant presence in the country’s dancefloors through a seemingly endless stream of remixed versions of their songs. Escort’s long-awaited debut LP is finally set for release this November, and here’s a taste of it – the single "Cocaine Blues".
The Damn Choir is celebrating the video release for the song “Virginia” at The Hideout on Thursday, Sept. 8 (tonight!). "Virgina" comes from their forthcoming album You’re My Secret Called Fire, and if the video for "Noah" from that album is any example you won’t want to miss this one.
Archer Spade is an unlikely duo compromised of Philly music veterans, world-reknowned klezmer trombonists Daniel Blacksberg and demon shredder Nick Millevoi. The combination has previously performed in seemingly every possible genre ranging from rock to jazz to chamber-pop and traditional Jewish music, as well as in Deli fave the Hassidic punk band Electric Simcha. They’re latest project creates a unique blend of their previous musical endeavors as they push the boundaries of their expansive musical knowledge and abilities. Also on the bill are Swedish born multi-instrumentalist Helena Espvall (Espers) and Brooklyn experimental/improv group, Mary Halvorson/Weasel Walter/Peter Evans Trio.

We featured Brooklyn based Robin Bacior‘s pretty video/song combo in this blog back in February, and since then the 24 year old singer songwriter has obviously been busy recording new material and making plans. Robin has just released as a free download the single "Ohio" (streaming here) from the upcoming album "Rest Our Wings" – to be released in November – and is kicking off a west coast tour tonight at Hotel Cafe` in LA. Definitely a talented young artist to keep an ear on.
Emerging NYC rockers Wyldlife‘s first LP is out. The self-titled release contains 10 songs of late 70s-style rock and roll, and it will be available on CD and limited run vinyl. The first single, "City of Inbreds" is available for stream here and for download (in exchange for your email address) on their website. The band will be playing a high profile show with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Twin Sister @ Bowery Ballroom on September 19. – (as posted in The Deli’s Open Blog – post your band’s entries, videos, and Mp3s here.

The Octopus Project is coming home…they have long done their part to keep Austin weird, and they’ll be sure to make your weekend just slightly weirder. They play Emo’s this Saturday, 9/10. November dates in San Antonio, Houston + Dallas. But first, the proper Austin show…now get on out.
It’s a month for record releases – new LPs from Diarrhea Planet and Modoc are coming up in the next few weeks. But this Saturday there are two release parties happening that are worth your dollars. Tetsuo’s celebrating Inmates, the follow-up to These Crystals Don’t Burn, at The Springwater (stream it now here), which should be quite a noisy affair with The Black Shades and The 1-10s. And across the river Parachute Musical indie-rocks The 5 Spot in honor of Kill It Cut It Down with Eastern Block. Both 9 p.m.
Comprised of Boreta of LA’s The Glitch Mob and San Francisco-based Comma, Slidecamp worked on their instrumental electronic debut for over five years, recording it in cars, bedrooms, re-purposed office buildings, and back-alley studios spanning from Los Angeles to remote Washington State. Subtle field recordings, 4-track sessions, synthesizer experiments and found sounds are combined to form songs that take on a life of their own. Their self-titled album is out now.
