Lowry Plays Thursday Night Residency in Feb/March at Spike Hill

DOWNLOAD: Lowry - "Whiskey" (from Love is Dead)

"Deep and melancholy, yet enlightened and full of hope, Lowry's Love is Dead breaks all the rules of indie rock and then manages to sound as approachable and alluring as The Shins.”
–Skope Magazine

Lowry hit the mainstream press in 2008 with their CD Love is Dead (Engine Room Recording) and an appearance at All Points West. The band is playing a series of residency shows at Spike Hill every Thursday night in February and March prior to their heading back into the studio. The new album is being produced by Mark Christensen (Raekwon, Langhorne Slim, 50 Cent) and is slated for release by Engine Room Recordings in September of this year.

Langhorne Slim Plays CD Release Show at Mercury Lounge on Wednesday, April 30th

Langhorne Slim's new CD, a self-titled release on Kemado Records, comes out tomorrow. Langorne got caught up in the whole V2 Records mess so this new CD is his first since his 2006 EP, "Engine".

The new tracks sound like some of the best work that Langhorne has done to date. There are three tracks from this release streaming on Langhorne's MySpace page. Langorne said "This collection of songs represents our most comfortable, cohesive and soul-shaking music to date...Some [songs] came out of the blue, others took some sweat but if the feeling’s there, then you’ve got something and it don’t make a damn difference how it happened. I hope that you feel it."

Langhorne made his network TV debut last month on the David Letterman show and played "Restless" from the forthcoming CD.



Wednesday's show at the Mercury Lounge is sold out but Langhorne is playing a headlining show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on May 31st.
