Stuart Bogie (center in blue shirt)
Fela Kuti was smiling down on Austin today. While Friday’s Austin City Limits Music Festival lineup boasted the likes of Gogol Bordello, Hot Chip, N.E.R.D. and Vampire Weekend, Brooklyn’s Antibalas high-energy set stole day one. Tenor Sax player Stuart Bogie was the ringleader encouraging the audience to participate with the eleven member tribal-funk-soul group. Bogie and the horn section are featured on the new TV On The Radio album Dear Science. He was responsible for the horns arrangements on TOVR’s “Crying” and “Red Dress“.

Satomi Matsuzaki Of Deerhoof
Last month I wrote about Deerhoof’s highly anticipated album Offend Maggie. The talented trio from San Francisco’s new single “Offend Maggie” doesn’t disappoint.
Lead-singer Satomi Matsuzaki’s uses her unique voice to carry this pop-melodic track with a far east undertone. Deerhoof is an acquired taste; give the track a couple spins. I look forward to hearing the rest of the album due out October 7th.
They launch their North American tour in Los Angeles @ The Avalon on 10/3 (Tickets)
A percentage of all digital sales from Offend Maggie will go to benefit one of the following organizations:
1. Why Tuesday?
2. FAIR
3. Peace Action West
4. Z Magazine
5. Doctors Without Borders

Kyle Hunt (bottom right-hand corner)
I just landed in Austin and the weather is beautiful. I’m heading over to meet The Black Angels’ Kyle Hunt and his lovely wife Rachel. Kyle plays keyboards, percussion, bass and guitar for the Austin based group. It’s an exciting time for the band. They are currently working on their 3rd album with 60’s legend Roky Erickson of the 13th Floor Elevators. Erickson also an Austin native is the pioneer of the psychedelic rock genre. The Angels begin their fall tour Sunday at Stubb’s with the Black Keys.
The Angels & Erickson are playing together Halloween night at The El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. They will open the show and then join Erickson set as the rhythm section.

I ran across Coldplay’s acoustic version of “Shiver” in my iTunes library yesterday. It wasn’t that long ago when I used to enjoy Coldplay’s music. I didn’t care that they ripped off Radiohead , Chris Martin married Gwyneth Paltrow or even The Garden State soundtrack. I think that X&Y was an average album and they were overexposed on their recent effort Viva La Vida. The advertising campaign for the record was ridiculous. They need to scale it back a notch on their next release.
Not sure what the future holds for these guys. We will see.
