Local Releases: Dulce Sky, Mason Jones & The Get Togethers
Posted By Andrea Moore Emmett on December 9, 2010, 2:11 PM
Last
week I would have made a post for local releases, but Dan Nailen beat
me to the punch. So this week we talk about two localized albums on a
Thursday! You're move, Nailen. --- But anyway, kicking it all off
tonight we'll see the latest from Dulce Sky. Coming up on thirteen
years, the group are currently one of the longest running bands still
together and making music, though we haven't heard much from them since their 2008 EP:
Unfamiliar.
Turns out they've been using that time to put together a complete
full-length album as opposed to more EP's or single compilation
tracks. Their latest endeavor, Invisible
Empire,
takes a slightly darker turn than prior works, keeping the Oliver
Valenzuela's howling vocals as centerpiece to carefully composed
tracks. The album contains shades of bands like VAST, taking songs
into three different directions while keeping the same vibe until the
end. Probably one of their best efforts to date. You can celebrate
the release with them at Urban Lounge this evening along with The
Plastic Furs and Summerhead. Just $6 at 10PM.
Then Saturday night sees the highly anticipated release from Mason Jones & The Get Togethers. Probably one of the best showmen in the music scene, Jones and his merry band of rockers rarely disappoint, even when their equipment goes to shit they'll play through it until the end. So fans will surely be relieved to find the debut album, Bibles & Basterds, hitting the shelves this coming week. Its not a live album by any means, but its as close to the live experience as you'll get without going to the show. Hearing Jones' infectious attitude screaming and dancing over each song, not to mention every solo sounding like he's attacking the speaker with the guitar. You can catch these guys two days later at Urban Lounge along with Spooky Moon Full, Blackhounds and Matt Ben Jackson. Just $6 at 10PM
Head out, love music, buy local!
