Song of the Day: Delicate Cutters "Be Sweet"

Song of the Day: The Dig "You're Already Gone"

The Dig - You're Already Gone from Ben Fee on Vimeo.

From the recent announcement:

Just premiering their latest video today on Baeble Music for the colorful and witty “You’re Already Gone,” off of Electric Toys,singer/bassist Emile Mosseri gets all tied up, literally, by a group of beautiful young women. Every guys dream right?  Leaving him in a cocoon, as they walk away, we’re left wondering what becomes of Emile and the band.

 

The catchy and upbeat song will have you putting this song and video on repeat. Mosseri’s impeccable voice is accompanied by the smooth guitars of David Baldwin, Erick Eiser’s resonating keyboards and Jamie Alegre’s driving drums. The end result is perfection.

 

The Dig have peaked on the Music Specialty shows nationwide, with Electric Toys hitting #5 on the Album Charts, and “You’re Already Gone,” landing #10 on the Song Charts, and are quickly on their way to the top.

 

No stranger to the indie rock circuit, The Dig has toured with The Walkmen, Editors, The Antlers, White Rabbits, Portugal. The Man,  Rural Alberta Advantage, The Joy Formidable, Here We Go Magic, Dashboard Confessional, Thrice, Kevin Devine, and Bad Veins, among others. They have just returned from successful tours with Postelles, Glasvegas, and Beady Eyes.

 

If you happen to live in the greater New York City area, you can catch The Dig twice this weekend at The Rock Shop in Brooklyn.

Song of the Day: Chop Love Carry Fire "Want Nothing"

If you've followed indiePulse for a while you probably know I'm a big fan of Jeremy Toback's work. He sent me a note earlier this week to tell me about the launch of his latest project - a collaboration with Butch Norton - and I couldn't wait to start spreading the word. Chop Love Carry Fire is the name of the band and the new EP is available now.

The video was directed by Danny Toback, shot by Ted Hayash and edited by Eric Binns.

Upcoming dates:

HOTEL CAFÉ ON MONDAY, AUGUST 8TH AT 8PM
WHISTLE STOP BAR – SAN DIEGO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12TH AT 8PM
MOLLY MALONE’S, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17TH AT 8PM
BOOTLEG THEATRE ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31ST AT 8PM

More from the recent announcement:

The band’s just released self-titled EP was recorded at New Monkey Studio, formerly owned by acclaimed singer/songwriter Elliott Smith. It is currently available for purchase from iTunes, Amazon, eMusic and other digital online retailers.Toback is well known for his solo work and as a member of the alternative band Brad along with Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard.  Norton is perhaps best known for his work with Eels.  The duo will be joined onstage by guitarist Billy Mohler (Smashing Pumpkins, Macy Gray).
