Beautiful Alarms (Live In Slovenia) By Wilderness

If you were digging those Videohippos tracks yesterday, how's about another Baltimore artpunk band... Wilderness.

Downloadables:
"Beautiful Alarms (Live In Slovenia)" (box.net mp3) from Love And Circuits: A Cardboard Records Compilation (From Aa To Zs)
"Strand The Test Of Time" (scjag mp3) from (k)no(w)here

(k)no(w)here is Wilderness's 3rd full-length. It is supposed to be listened to as one piece and was conceived after an invite to collaborate with artist Charles Long.

Watch the collab: "2008 Whitney Biennial: Charles Long presents Wilderness" (youtube)

\\\\\\\\\TONIGHT: Health / Videohippos / Angel Deradoorian (of Dirty Projectors)

Tonight @ The Knitting Factory in The Main Space... I gets to see me some:

\\\\\\\\\LA Noiseartists Health will hopefully top their previous performance when I saw them in the very same space. The band has really set a high bar. My expectations are pretty high.

Listen: "Tabloid Sores" (box.net mp3)

Download more Health here and here and here.

They are taking a break from working on the new album to tour with NIN. This is a sidedate. I don't really have any desire to see them open for anyone. These guys should be on the top of the bill.

\\\\\\\\\Psych8bitrockers Videohippos will also play.
