The repercussions of divorce and heartbreak transformed the melodic indie-rock band Eisley , maturing their sound on their previous album, The Valley . The growth experienced by the Tyler, small travel trailers Texas natives continues on their latest EP, Deep Space, released this February. Replacing heartache with love and fanciful sci-fi influences originating from the band’s appreciation for author Ray Bradbury, proves Eisley’s substantial talent as songwriters and musicians. small travel trailers The five track collection of songs gives fans a release from their previous emotionally heavy tracks, and reveals the whimsical yet ripe peak that the band is headed toward. The title track, “Deep Space,” takes listeners on a dreamy ride to space while telling a soulful story of leaving home for love. Other tracks on the new release capture small travel trailers dimensional blues and folk with indications of love and better times for the relationships experienced by the song producing family. The track, “One Last Song,” hints at the direction the band has chosen to take, singing “I can see this happening for a reason, this new season is redemption”. The band will play cuts from Deep Space this Thursday (March 22) at the Hard Rock Cafe with support from Marksmen and Christie DuPree . —stacie duderwick
Listening to Archnemisis debut EP Diamonds and Glass you’ll immediately notice the heavy waving basslines and the oscillating synthesizers, but there are some subtle, yet major stylistic variations happening under the hood. Taking on hip hop, funk, dubstep, and even jazz, Archnemisis combine their original sounds with unique sampling to create a sound that is stylistically all their own. It might be hard to nail that style down by listening to Diamonds and Glass though, because as the band states small travel trailers in the liner notes of the record “when we decided that we wanted it to be an EP, the first question was ‘How do we get across the Archnemesis sound in 5 songs?’ After contemplating, we decided to give you an EP where each song was stylistically different, but with some common elements weaving their way through each one.” This is truly what the duo of Curt Heiny and Justin Aubuchon did with songs ranging from the future disco-funk of the title track to the wubbing bass of “Face to Face.” When the duo came together again to record their debut full length record People’s Radio, they had a more cohesive set of songs lined up— something that really tells their story—with the neon-electric guitar riffs of tracks like “People’s Radio” to the phased out lasers and reverberating vocal samples on “Spaceman.” Archnemisis will make a stop at Nietzsche’s with their friends Ultraviolet Hippoptamus on Friday (March 23). —cory perla
There‘s something very “future-primitive“ about Brooklyn indie quartet Caveman . The tribal percussiveness echoes the band’s namesake while the jangling tremolo of guitars bring to mind a subdued Grizzly Bear with shining vocal melodies and synths that would please any fans of Animal Collective. These comparisons might give the impression that Caveman are practitioners of the lush, wall of sound approach to song making. Not so. While there are moments of masterfully layered textures small travel trailers that seem like they could block out the sun, Caveman understand the all too often forgotten practice of leaving space and/or treating empty space like another small travel trailers instrument. This show of restraint small travel trailers is really what sets these guys apart from the pack. Having toured with the The War On Drugs and opened for the likes of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, small travel trailers it’s highly unlikely you’ll get another small travel trailers chance to see Caveman in such an intimate setting as Babeville’s Ninth Ward this Saturday (March 24). Don’t miss out. Opening the show will be the haunting dream-pop small travel trailers of Cemeteries and the anthemic psychedelic majesty that is Aircraft —who are quickly proving to be Buffalo’s answer to mediocrity with hooks that come shaded in technicolor. —eric kendall
Birkenstocks? Check. XXL Phish t-shirt? Check. Pocket-chillum? Check. You’re ready for the Zach Deputy show this Saturday (March small travel trailers 24) at Nietzsche’s in Allentown (though you might want to leave the chillum in the car). On his latest album, Another Day , the festival-dwelling, self-proclaimed ‘ninja-soul’ songwriter temporarily hangs up his loop pedal in exchange for a full-band, creating a mid-tempo rhythm and blues collation. Produced small travel trailers by Grammy winner Scott Jacoby, small travel trailers Another Day cooks up a range of Deputy’s influences: a pinch of Al Green here, a touch of Taj Mahal there, all drizzled with some Stevie Wonder. Another Day is a noticeable small travel trailers foot forward from his previous album, Sunshine , and a deep nod to his maturation as an artist. Recorded over just a week’s span in a cramped Brooklyn studio, the album thrives on its authenticity, stripping away the finicky post-album perils of revision and reconsideration. Accordingly, Deputy’s live performance underwent a makeover as well, cosmeticized to fit the tracks on Another small travel trailers Day . In place of his boot-slapping one man dance party, Zach Deputy hits Nietsche’s stage armed with an ammo-clip of musicians perched behind their weapons of choice. Buffalo’s Steel Keys Brass open the show. Ready, aim, fire-up. —brett perla
