Snap Shot: The River Mouth

(ed. All this week we’re doing band “Snap Shots” of the groups we have performing on Saturday, the 5th. This is one of those.)

Daniel Rodrigue, and I agree that The River Mouth is one of the most intriguing bands to pop up in the area in the last year. So, with that in mind I sent the guys some questions to round out this batch of Snap Shots. take a look after the jump.

Snap Shot: Lazy Native

(ed. All this week we’re doing band “Snap Shots” of the groups we have performing on Saturday, the 5th. This is one of those.)

Lazy Native was nice enough to jump on this bill after we lost a band, I think that shows character/willingness to do anything to play. I like that, I also like their music which sounds like the Beta Band only harder. They gave some very good answers to questions below.

Snap Shot: Rio Rasco

(ed. All this week we’re doing band “Snap Shots” of the groups we have performing on Saturday, the 5th. This is one of those.)

Last time I said Rio Rasco sounded like Lonesome Crowded West era Modest Mouse, brutal and catchy at the same time. I really like that, and can’t wait to catch it live. Band member Cody Sharp responded to some quick questions, check’em out.

Snap Shot: HARD TIMES

(ed. All this week we’re doing band “Snap Shots” of the groups we have performing on Saturday, the 5th. This is one of those.)

You know what kicks ass? Party Bands. You know who is a kick ass party band? HARD TIMES. Questions and Answers below.

Snap Shot: Young & Brave

(ed. All this week we’re doing band “Snap Shots” of the groups we have performing on Saturday, the 5th. This is one of those.)

I’ve only caught Young & Brave once, and then only in passing, but the general consensus amongst those I frequently talk to, and myself, is they’re pretty damn great. So when the possibility of them playing this show arose, I jumped at the opportunity. In an effort to gain a little insight into one of the most buzzed about local groups, I sent them some questions. Check out their answers after the jump.

Snap Shot: Reinventing Jude

(ed. All this week we’re doing band “Snap Shots” of the groups we have performing on Saturday, the 5th. This is one of those.)

I’ll admit I’m not to knowledgeable about Reinventing Jude, but I do know a good roots band when I hear it. These guys are catchy in away that the songs stick with you past a day, and you find the lyrics running through your mind when you’re working. Jude Gonzalez was nice enough to answer a few questions for me.

Snap Shot: Western Giants

(ed. All this week we’re doing band “Snap Shots” of the groups we have performing on Saturday, the 5th. This is one of those.)

We’ve done more shows with Western Giants then any other band we’ve worked with, you could go out on a limb, and say I’m a rather large fan. Yesterday I asked band leader Kennon Talley some questions via email, he was gracious enough to answer them, and as always it was an insightful experience.

Snap Shot: Giggle Party

(ed. All this week we’re doing band “Snap Shots” of the groups we have performing on Saturday, the 5th. This is one of those.)

We’ve posted videos, twitterviwed, done a show, and once handle a rather nice candlelight dinner with Giggle Party. So, you know what we think about them, but do you know what band member Jason Reichl is currently thinking? After the jump you’ll find out.

Snap Shot: Daniel Folmer

(ed. All this week we’re doing band “Snap Shots” of the groups we have performing on Saturday, the 5th. This is one of those. Oh, and the photo below is not of Daniel Folmer, but it’s the one he wanted to use.)

I’m gonna be cliche and call Daniel Folmer a critical darling, it’s a well deserved label, we all seem to go insane for his mix of country-western institutionalization, fuzzed out rock, and witty insightful lyrics. His last album The Roaring Twenties had critics crawling over themselves to annotate him the next big thing.

Daniel and I recently “shot the shit” if you will, discussing everything from the Tyson documentary, to the glory of house shows. About midway through the conversation I decided it would be fun to have Daniel pick preseason football games using the Vegas lines. Take a look at what transpired after the jump.

Snap Shot: Manned Missiles (with an “i”)

(ed. All this week we’re doing band “Snap Shots” of the groups we have performing on Saturday, the 5th. This is one of those.)

I talk about Manned Missiles all the time, so I decided to let the guys tell you about themselves.

Hello, we’re Manned Missiles (AKA Manned Jizziles AKA Ol’ Dirty Missiles). We play melodic noise from our mouths and corresponding instruments. We’re recording our second attempt at an EP with Joel from Small Time Ruffians (shameless plug) very soon. It will be called Might as Well and we will performing it in its entirety at The Schoolhouse (shameless plug #2) this saturday for all you degenerates to enjoy and dance to. Goodnight.

Also, they told me the other night that the new music is “T-Rex dance music” which if it’s the band is awesome, if it’s the dinosaur it’s even better.
