Better Than Something

2012-02-13T16:23:00.004-06:00

BETTER THAN SOMETHING is a feature documentary about the controversial and prolific garage rock icon Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr, better known to the world as Jay Reatard. This intimate portrait, captured just months before his untimely passing, brings us incredibly close to Jay's complicated punk-rock world in Memphis, Tennessee. It features scenes from an insightful and candid week spent with Jay, who reveals personal childhood stories and the struggles of life in Memphis.

from betterthansomething.com:

Tirelessly devoting his entire life to music, Jay Reatard has become a garage rock icon, having created a massive discography spread out over dozens of singles, EPs, and full-length albums, released on labels like Matador, Fat Possum and In The Red. A relentless live performer, Jay toured the world with dozens of bands including Reatards, Lost Sounds, Bad Times, Persuaders, Cheap Time, The Pixies, Spoon, Beck and many more. A devoted - and oftentimes notorious - fixture in his hometown of Memphis, Jay celebrated and continued the city’s long-standing history of American music.

2006 saw the release of Blood Visions (In the Red), Lindsey's first solo album under the moniker Jay Reatard. After a lengthy tour supporting Blood Visions, he signed a multi-album, exclusive deal with the New York-based indie label Matador Records. He released six limited 7" singles throughout 2008 with Matador. Soon after the release of the first single and reviews in NME, Spin Magazine, and Rolling Stone, Lindsey began playing larger shows and various music festivals all over the world. In October 2008, Reatard's Matador Singles '08 compiled all six of the singles on one LP/CD, and Lindsey again hit the road with a second, more extensive tour to support the album.

Lindsey's final album, Watch Me Fall (his first proper studio album with Matador), was released in August 2009. Lindsey was found dead in his home in the Cooper-Young neighborhood of Midtown, Memphis, around 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday, January 13, 2010. Lindsey was 29 years old. A memorial was held for Lindsey on Saturday, January 16 in Memphis at Memorial Park Funeral Home. Eric Friedl and bandmate Stephen Pope were those that eulogized Lindsey. One of Lindsey's trademark white Gibson Flying V guitars hung behind his coffin at the funeral home; he was buried with the guitar the next day. His grave is near that of Memphis soul musician Isaac Hayes.

Jay Reatard - "I'm Watching You"

Jay Reatard - "You Get No Love"

Max Frost (feat. Kydd) - "Sunday Driving"

2012-02-12T22:10:00.001-06:00

Up and coming Austin artists Max Frost and Kydd came together to create "Sunday Driving," a bluesy, hip hop-laden ode to the time-honored tradition of the lazy Sunday. The two cruise through town in a Bentley convertible (hijacked from the Uchiko valet) picking up a diverse cast of characters along the way that includes a priest, young women, old women, Patrick Terry (of P. Terry's), dogs, homies from the neighborhood, etc. The video was directed by Austin-born filmmaker Jordan Haro.

Max Frost is a native Austinite, guitar player, and singer/songwriter. Learned at the Austin School of Music, he began his career as a member of the award-winning teen group Joyride, then became co-front man of Blues Mafia, and has since toured and written songs with fiddle prodigy Ruby Jane Smith. He's done many collaborations with Austin-born MC Randell Jones, aka "Kydd Jones," who won an Austin Hip Hop Award for Best Lyricist Of The Year in 2009. Kydd has also done collaborations with some of the heavy hitters in the new movement of hip-hop, from “Fly Society” to Pac Div to The Cool Kids to Yelawolf.

Guadalupe Plata

2012-02-12T20:52:00.000-06:00

Guadalupe Plata is a rockin' and rollin' dirty blues trio that hails from Ubeda, Spain. Pedro de Dios Barcelo handles the guitar and vocals, Paco Luis Martos wields the washtub bass, and Carlos Jimena keeps time on the drums. Their devilish, rhythmic rock and roll draws inspiration from legendary American blues artists such as John Lee Hooker and R.L.Burnside, with the madness of Screamin' Jay Hawkins, the sweet sound of Tampa Red, the killer slide guitar of Elmore James, and the essence of Son House. The band kicks out on instrumental blues chock full of slide guitar. The vocals are lo-fi, distorted, and hypnotizing, sounding like Spanish voo-doo chants. Download their album for free at guadalupeplata.bandcamp.com.

Guadalupe Plata will be in Austin for SXSW 2012

See them at Do512 and Shiner Presents: The Big One 2012

Saturday, March 17 at The Belmont

Video: Hunters

2012-02-08T02:49:00.000-06:00

Hunters - "Acid Head"

via Aagoo Records:

"Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, Hunters’ music is charged with wild energy -- led by singers/guitarists Derek Watson and Isabel Almeida. Mixing boy/girl harmonies with super catchy guitars, their songs tend to get stuck in your head before you even finish listening to them. Somewhere along the way they got with Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs who mixed their upcoming EP, and former Smashing Pumpkin James Iha on the production end. The result is exactly what you would expect. Well maybe not... think The Vaselines on a wonderfully chaotic acid binge."

Hunters just finished a Winter tour opening for The Kills and Jeff The Brotherhood

Their Hands On Fire EP was released on October 25, 2011

Heartless Bastards - Arrow

2012-02-08T00:08:00.001-06:00

Austin-based rock band The Heartless Bastards recently signed to Partisan Records (Deer Tick, Middle Brother) and will release their newest album, Arrow, on February 14, 2012. The album was produced by Spoon drummer and co-producer Jim Eno at his Public Hi Fi home studio in Austin. Lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Erika Wennerstrom is now accompanied by an expanded lineup that includes drummer Dave Colvin and bassist Jesse Ebagh (who both played on the Bastards’ first-ever demo recordings) as well as a second guitarist in the form of Austin native Mark Nathan.

The Heartless Bastards, originally from Dayton, Ohio, released their debut Stairs and Elevators in early 2005 via Fat Possum. Their last album, 2009's The Mountain, was produced by Mike McCarthy and coupled mandolins, banjos, and strings with Wennerstrom’s transcendent voice. The band has been getting good press lately from the likes of NPR, Spin, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and are now touring in support of the new release. They have also confirmed appearances on Letterman (Feb 22) and Conan (April 4.)

Stream Arrow on SoundCloud

Much to our delight, the Heartless Bastards recently made a stop at the Do512 Lounge where they performed a great set that included "Parted Ways," the first single from the new album:

(Beat)en Senseless: Austin Beat Culture

2012-02-07T23:25:00.000-06:00

(Beat)en Senseless is a documentary being made about the rapidly growing electronic/beat scene in Austin, Texas. All filmmakers and artists involved in the production are volunteering their time, simply inspired to bring attention to Austin's underground culture. The crew is seeking help to fund the production of the project, and are asking people to donate via Kickstarter:

"The film will focus on three local emerging crews: Exploded Drawing, Applied Pressure, and LNS. We will dive into the personal lives of three particular artists: Butcher Bear, Boombaptist, and Lo-Phi. We want to provide viewers with a heartfelt perspective into the fascinating worlds of these artists and explain why they call Austin home. Through the documentation of live performances, personal interviews, and compelling acts of musical creation, we plan to share the spirit of camaraderie that ignites their sound."

T Bird and The Breaks

2012-02-07T22:54:00.006-06:00

T Bird and the Breaks is a funk-filled group out of Austin. Tim Crane leads the parade on vocals and piano, backed by an unstoppable rhythm section that consists of longtime partner in crime Sammy Patlove on drums and Cody Furr on bass. Johnny “Too Bad” Allison and Sasha Ortiz, on guitar and vocals respectively, add the icing on the cake. Their sound that pulls from the origins of hip-hop and old-school soul, blending it into what they call chunk music. Properly defined:

Chunk Music (noun): A form of twenty-first century American music consisting of equal parts funk, hip-hop, and rock and roll characterized by its rough sonic quality and energetic, visceral performance. Commonly served hot with a side of girls and brass.

Their latest offering is the single "Good So Bad," written and arranged by Allison with Crane behind the piano:

&amp;lt;a href="http://music.tbirdandthebreaks.com/track/good-so-bad"&amp;gt;Good So Bad by Johnny &amp;amp;quot;Too Bad&amp;amp;quot; Allison&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;

T Bird and The Breaks will be releasing their new EP Dancehall Freakin' the first week of March, streaming it exclusively on MOKB for that week, and performing at the EP Release party at The ND on March 2. And their live shows are always a sweaty, funky good time. Over the past few years the band has performed at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, Fun Fun Fun Fest, Festival International, and provided tour support for Galactic.

The Parting Gifts

2012-02-07T15:21:00.000-06:00

The Parting Gifts were born out of a collaboration between Greg Cartwright (frontman of The Reigning Sound) and Coco Hames (lead singer for The Ettes). Cartwright and Hames first worked together in 2009, when Cartwright was invited to produce an album for The Ettes. Cartwright and Hames discovered they were musically compatible and decided to collaborate on a one-off single, with each contributing one song. However, once they set aside some time to write material, the ideas came fast and furious, and before long Cartwright and Hames had enough songs to fill an album, so the single gave way to the debut album from the Parting Gifts, Strychnine Dandelion.

In addition to Cartwright and Hames, the album features a number of garage rock and punk blues notables, among them Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and Patrick Keeler of the Greenhornes and the Raconteurs, as well as Hames' bandmates from the Ettes, Jem Cohen and Poni Silver, and Dave Amels, who has previously worked with Cartwright in Reigning Sound. The 15-track album was released on In The Red Records in November of 2010. It's got a little bit of everything - rockabilly, garage, country, blues, pop - all done just right. Good stuff. Check this album out sometime.

Sleepy Sun

2012-02-06T15:45:00.002-06:00

San Francisco psych rock powerhouse Sleepy Sun will be releasing their highly anticipated third album - Spine Hits - on April 9th, 2012 via ATP Recordings. The album was recorded in the California desert with producer Dave Catching (ex-guitarist for Queens of Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal.) Over the past few years this five-piece band has solidified its place among America’s elite neo-psychedelic bands with a powerful live show and a slow-burning brand of music that mixes earth-shaking guitar riffs with a softer, melodic folk underbelly.

Sleepy Sun - "Ooh Boy"

Co-vocalist Rachel Fannan, who was featured on Sleepy Sun's debut album Embrace and the follow-up album Fever, parted ways with the band in 2010. Sleepy Sun went on tour with The Black Angels in 2011, and were one of the featured acts at Austin Psych Fest on 2011. Odds are they will be reunited again at the 5th Annual Austin Psych Fest this April.

"Recorded under the big skies of the California high desert with Queens of Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal alumnus Dave Catching, the jams on Spine Hits are alternatingly precision whittled and moodily muscular. Matt Holliman and Evan Reiss' guitars adroitly move from steamroller heavy to beachside airy and bouncing to interstellar- tinkering with texture and dynamics like never before. Vocalist Bret Constantino sings with a road-toughened, husky soul yowl and hush that occasionally betrays a society-weary frustration but more often hints at a way out. The rhythm section of drummer Brian Tice and Jack Allen is a super-cohesive, tricky, and tough-as-hell unit that keeps the Sleepy train on track as it teeters, creeps and runs wild across the land." -http://www.sleepysun.net/

Bill Baird "Career" teaser

2012-02-04T15:33:00.000-06:00

via Bill Baird's digital home:

"Finishing up my order for “Career,” a sort-of thrash record, if I’m capable of making one. Sure to confuse a few, delight some others, and perhaps slip by the rest. Vinyl w/ gatefold, poster, clear blue vinyl, chapbook of ramblings and writings and a few photos. CD with digi-pack and said chapbook. Cassette with said chapbook. All orders receive immediate download of 2 songs, full digital download on release, and a download of the accompanying film, also called ‘Career,’ which is funny and strange and non-linear."

Hundred Visions

2012-02-02T15:30:00.004-06:00

Austin band Hundred Visions is led by singer-guitarist Ben Maddox, with Eric Loftis on drums, Wes Turner on bass, and Johnny Krueger on guitar. The band is three parts Corto Maltese, the Arcade Fire-meets-Wolf Parade inspired band that showed so much promise just a couple of years ago. (See articles in Soundcheck, Austinist, Daytrotter.) With a lineup change and a redefined sound that bears comparison to David Bryne starting a garage band with Joy Division, Hundred Visions hit the scene in 2010. In April of 2011 they offered up their debut release in the form of a three-song 7" that features the stellar title track "Last Cab From Tunis." This thing will heat up your feet thanks to a funky rhythm, sprinklings of cowbell and handclaps, driving guitars, and anthemic vocal shouts. Beware: once the song gets its hooks in you, they can't be dislodged.

&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a

The Last Cab From Tunis EP is available on Bandcamp. Check out their Daytrotter session too. They also have a bunch of live video from the fifth installment of their Barnstormer tour that Hundred Visions took part in.

"...songs that are heavy on phat melodies and grooves, songs that - all at once - remind us of the Talking Heads, The Cure, Radiohead and classic British pop. Maddox is a superb front man and he allows himself the luxury of letting his voice go to all of its many peaks and valleys, making the cup runneth over with gooey trajectories and sublime psychedelia that never loses its hold on reality. The songs on the band's debut 7-inch, led with the A-side track of "Last Cab From Tunis," an ace cut that could get a statue moving its tail-feathers around and wagging a tongue and finger..." - daytrotter.com

Woollen Kits

2012-01-31T00:18:00.000-06:00

Woollen Kits are a three piece band from Melbourne, Australia. The trio has sprung out of the garage with their self-titled debut album, released via Sydney, Australia's R.I.P Society record label. Its nine primitive, gritty guitar tunes straddle surf pop, proto-punk and garage rock. The album was mastered by Mikey Young, guitarist for Aussie favorites Eddy Current Suppression Ring and member of the garage four-piece Ooga Boogas, whose debut album never leaves my side. Woollen Kits are currently on a tour of the US - see the dates here. They also have some free downloads on bandcamp.

"It must be said: Melbourne trio Woollen Kits seem at first like a scrappy clone of the late, great US trio Beat Happening, who bravely dismantled punk rock until all that was left were rickety, childlike tales of awkward romance and fading youth. Beyond a love of fuzzy distortion and unpolished playing, there’s a handful of similarities between Beat Happening’s Calvin Johnston and Woollen Kits frontman Tom R: that same low, froggy voice; easy rhymes (“You could be the one/Let’s go have some fun”); and songs about climbing trees and visiting lakes." -messandnoise

Released in 2011 via Mint Records, the Vancouver-based duo of Becky Black (guitar) and Maya Miller (drums) recorded the album with engineer Jesse Gander and famed Detroit producer Jim Diamond (The Dirtbombs, The Paul Collins Beat, The White Stripes.)

Magic Castles

2012-01-27T01:52:00.010-06:00

Magic Castles is a psychedelic folk-rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota.; Formed in 2006, the band self-released their first three albums before catcing the attention of Anton Newcombe (Brian Jonestown Massacre), who will release the band's eponymous double album through his ‘a’ Records imprint on March 20th, 2012. The band is also slated to join Brian Jonestown Massacre on an East Coast tour of the United States in 2012.

Inspired by the sounds of Spacemen 3, Skygreen Leopards, and Galaxie 500, Magic Castles employ warm Farfisa drones, hazy guitars, and bright vocal harmonies to craft songs that shift between traditional form and stretched-out, slowly unwinding passages. More often than not the band takes a journey-is-better-than-the destination approach, lyrically concerned with trolls, golden birds, and other mythical creatures.

Jeremiah Doering (guitar & vocals)

Paul Fuglestad (bass)

Graveyard + Radio Moscow + Eagle Claw at Mohawk

2012-01-24T23:50:00.002-06:00

Graveyard is the Swedish offspring of bands parents were warning their kids about in the 70s. Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, the band formed in 2000 when Swedish doom/stoner outfit Norrsken split up and gave birth to two new bands - Graveyard, and Witchcraft. The quartet features Rikard Edlund (bass), Axel Sjöberg (Drums), Joakim Nilsson (Guitar/Vocals), and Jonathan Ramm (Guitar/Vocals). Their albums resurrect the sounds of 70’s psychedelic rock, channeling Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and the Stones:

Graveyard is currently touring the states with support from Radio Moscow, who I've mentioned previously. At the onset of the tour Radio Moscow frontman Parker Griggs caught a guitar to the face, requiring a trip to the hospital and 14 stitches to the forehead:

Here is Graveyard bassist Rikard Edlund removing Griggs' stitches:

The tour makes a stop in Austin on Wednesday, January 25th at The Mohawk:

Video: Cartright - "Jass Song"

2012-01-24T01:53:00.001-06:00

Cartright recently released their first music video, and it's one hell of a trip. The band shot the video for "Jass Song" about 6 months ago with Alex Nguyen at their house in Austin. The original idea was conceived by drummer Nick Cornetti, which then evolved into a swirling, mushroom-induced excursion of the mind. The leading lady role was donated by India Gail (who bartends at Cheer Up Charlies), and front man Ben Russell plays the fellow going out of his mind. Russell is also the mind behind the band’s artwork:

You can get the "Jass Song" 7'' on limited edition red vinyl with a poster print of the cover art at cartrightmusic.com.

If you're unfamiliar with Cartright, here is a summarized band bio:

Ben Russell leads the quintet with a beaten-down acoustic guitar, finger-picked with a rare level of drunk precision, and he shouts his pleas of aggressive reluctance--a man lost in his Southern youth but unafraid to face it--through a sweat-soaked mess of hair and beard. The Cornetti brothers three on bass, piano, and drums, along with lead guitarist Casey, are a pack of howlers and stompers. Together with Lou’s subtle necessity, Nick’s drumstick crescendos, and the rowdy dialects of Joe’s organ they stagger in time with broken rhythms blanketed by sleeves of noise.

It's easy to see why the young band already draws a cult fanbase; the easiest comparison point is Lucero, as both acts lean toward country-rock with a love for war-torn, cigarette-stained vocals. But where Lucero sticks to a harder, narrower path, Cartright leaves its swinging bar doors open to the acoustic exploration of folk, the erratic tempo changes of post-rock and the passion, the arrangements and the willful repetition that mark the best in the worlds of blues and gospel.

"Cartright is what pirates and murderers use to lull themselves to sleep." -AVCLUB

"The band’s shows feel more like tent revivals than rock shows, with a healthy quantity of whiskey in place of holy water." -AUSTINIST

Last year’s setting, The Seaholm Power Plant was an epic setting for APF 2011, and it’s hard to top it. Seaholm is being redeveloped, so starting in the summer we began to look for a new home for Austin Psych Fest 2012. Our search brought us all over the Austin area, to beautiful ranches outside of town, to empty parking lots downtown, to warehouses on the East Side to established venues in Austin.

After seeing the new Emo’s East & Beauty Ballroom at The Black Angels / Wooden Shjips / Ume show on New Year’s Eve, we knew that we had found the perfect fit for APF 2012. The layout, facilities and sound are all amazing, and anyone who has been to the original locations of either club will be impressed – the difference is readily apparent.

Benefit for Esme Barrera

2012-01-12T15:32:00.008-06:00

On January 1, 2012, the music community tragically lost 29-year old Esmeralda (Esme) Barrera, a beloved fixture of the Austin music scene, when she was murdered at her home in Austin. Esme was very active in the local music scene. She was a Mentor/Counselor at Girl's Rock Camp, a part of the Waterloo Records staff, as well as an assistant teacher at an elementary school. There has been a tremendous outpouring of support from the music community in Austin that knew her well.

In memoriam to friend and fellow volunteer at Girls Rock Camp Austin, Lauren Langner Larson of Austin trio Ume has written, recorded and released a new song, "Gleam." The track, available at Bandcamp, can be downloaded for a donation in which the band is asking people to name their price and donate whatever they can.

"I had the honor of working with Esme for four years at Girls Rock Camp Austin," says Larson. "We rarely encounter people so inspiring - whose compassion and joy are contagious. Esme was the unique gift of a person who could ease a new girl's fear at Rock Camp with a hug - who a Waterloo customer remembers for her smile - who a local band remembers for rocking out in the front row. She was the epitome of awesome."

The day after Larson heard the news about Barrera she decided to record a song she had been holding inside for a long time and to dedicate it to Barrera. The twinkling acoustic track "Gleam" was recorded at Resonate Studios with Louie Lino of Nada Surf who leant his production skills and supplied keyboards. "During recording I learned that Esme once lived above the studio and was a dear friend of Louie and his family," offers Larson. "The year she lived with us, Esme became part of my family," says Lino. "She has been a friend, my daughter's teacher and my musical touchstone ever since I've known her. We can't replace her. But she will always inspire us."

Also, from Elliott Frazier of Ringo Deathstarr:

We in Austin TX have lost someone very integral and important our local Music Community. Esme Barrera was murdered early morning New Years Day. She was one of the first fans of Ringo Deathstarr and a very dear friend to our entire musical community, Mentor/Counselor at Girl's Rock Camp, and an assistant teacher at an elementary school. We are all raising funds for her Family to cover expenses, so we are donating a Cover of Bad Brains' "Sailn' On" to those who donate $1 or more to forouresmeb.blogspot.com and send a copy of the confirmation email to ringodeathstarr@gmail.com and you will proptly be e-mailed the high quality MP3 of our version of Bad Brains "Sailin' On."
