It's Just Vanity
By
way of Chicago and New Jersey, but calling Chapel Hill home, It’s Just
Vanity draw on the indie rock influence the town has become so famous
for, while keeping the basement scene work ethic they grew up with.
It's Just Vanity's first EP "The Strangers" helped the band recognize
their sound -- half old school emo, half instrumental post rock -- and
get their name out through a free download, promoted on east coast
tours to message boards in Sweden, Japan and the United Kingdom. Their
debut LP, Here's What You Remember From A Coma, combines the intricacy
of math rock, with the heavy, epic tones of post rock and throws in
memorable choruses to let audiences remember that indie music isn't
boring. The atmospheric indie rock quartet formed less than a year ago
and are now on the cusp of their debut LP release - Here's What You
Remember From A Coma - and will be making their third tour of the east
coast in support of the record. "Their
tracks balance hypnotic, drifting passages with chunky indie rock
churn... remarkably well-realized music, offering plenty of promise." -
Chris Parker, Independent Weekly

Charles Latham
Charles
Latham wields an acid tongue and a poison pen, crafting social
criticism and brutal self-analysis into three and a half minute
ramshackle pop songs. His songs are often exercises in duality: he
finds humor in horror and horror in humor, the profane in beauty and
beauty in the profane. In a live performance, his audience often laughs
and smiles, but he rarely does. His lofi home recordings compliment the
harsh honesty of his lyrics; his guitar buzzes and rings, and his
snarling voice leaps, cracks and cries.

Early Ape
Post Post
Post
Post is an indie rock band comprised of four college juniors who met
and formed at Bryn Mawr College, an all-women's liberal arts college
outside Philadelphia (they wouldn't let Kevin in, he had to go to
Haverford instead). Zauner fronts as a magnetic lead vocalist and
songwriter, drawing upon her experience in her solo act Little Girl,
Big Spoon. Her knack for writing catchy pop melodies is set off by her
emotional, often clever and introspective lyrics, a rare blend that
simultaneously appeals to both sides of human nature. As Little Girl,
Big Spoon, Michelle shared stages with a number of prominent indie
voices, such as Menomena, Man Man, Deerhoof, M. Ward, and Kimya Dawson.

These
robot monkeys are notorious for improvising tunes and acting like
loons. Since their original banding in the tree tops of sunny
California these monkeys have grown and are hitting the road. In the
coming months they will be caravanning their Doors-style rock show to
ever so randomly selected locations in the U.S. and Canada. Keep your
peepers peeled, the monkeys might be in you bushes sooner than you
think.

Sky Ship
"As
befitting their moniker, the fine Philly [quartet] Sky Ship adds a
psychedelic edge to their electronics-tinged indie-rock with the
occasional backwards-sounding guitar, cosmic keyboards, fuzzy vocals
and trippy imagery. Frontman Matt Stein’s vocals are sometimes
reminiscent of XTC’s Andy Partridge, but mostly the threesome sounds
like a distant cousin of the Flaming Lips or a band that could nest
nicely with the likes of Olivia Tremor Control, Apples in Stereo and a
few other Elephant 6-affiliated acts."-M.A.G. Philadelphia Weekly

Roadside Graves
"Roadside
Graves' seven members stamp up a roadhouse-gospel-soul sound with John
Gleason's naturally pinched, uneven voice pitched uneasily but
tunefully over it. The result is like a more unsettled version of The
Felice Brothers, letting lots of raggedy spontaneity seep into the
band's folksy, approachable songs."-The Onion AV Club

 SATURDAY, MAY 08, 2010 9PMPhilebrity and Sunny Day Music welcome: JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound
In
his 1970 Playboy Interview, Ray Charles described soul as “people who
do things from the heart.” In performance and on record, there is no
question that JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound are 100% soul. Like Otis
Redding fronting the Stooges, JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound get
crowds twisting and writhing on the floor, something that’s been sorely
missing from live music.
Born in the great melting pot of Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood in 2007,
guitarist Billy Bungeroth, drummer Kevin Marks, and bassist Ben Taylor
(Beat Down Sound/September Sessions soundtrack) joined forces with the
Lowdown Horns to lay a ferocious foundation for the soulful shouts of
Mr. JC Brooks. The son of a Jersey funk diva set adrift by the disco
era, he’s renowned for his take-no-prisoners stage style, leaving
audiences with no other choice than to get up and move! JC Brooks is
determined to become the next in a long line of classic Chicago Soul
singers; Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield, Donny Hathaway, Syl Johnson - JC
has learned from them all, and he's got no illusions about what it
takes to become a classic.
