BAND ALERT: Nurses


I have been listening to this band called Nurses and they are blowing my mind! They are based out of Portland, Oregon and these lads are truly an amazing trio of psychedelic loveliness! My friend Taylor told me about them almost a year ago but I had no computer to check them out. Now that I've finally given them a listen, they have constantly been on repeat. I really enjoy their raw mixes of different genres like pop, synth, and psychedelic as I mentioned before. It also has a hint of this foresty folk sound that really makes me want to dance around a campfire! Don't worry, this is a good thing. My dancing, not so much. I can't wait to see them live because you best believe I will.

I also love John's beard (I hope that's his name, I'm pretty sure it is though). It's a really attractive beard. Like i'm seriously in love with it. I want to touch it when I see them at a show. That will be my goal.

My favorite song by Nurses is a tie between Technicolor and Gettin Angry. I honestly can't choose. I tried to, but they have both been played the same amount of time on my itunes.

Their new record "Apple's Acre" comes out August 4th and will be touring sometime soon in the fall fer shure. In the meantime, check out their myspace here

Also, download a few of their songs from their appearance at Daytrotter (circa 2007) that includes a brief bio here

PS. Alone At Last is my favorite song. I changed my mind.

Born Ruffians on Daytrotter Session


Okay so I am really late with this, it came out last November but I just discovered this and I want you guys to take a listen! Born Ruffians is probably my favorite band out there right now. This trio of hootin and hollerin Canadians just make my day. If you have not heard their latest studio album, Red, Yellow, and Blue, then you need to! This funky folk band has got all the right melodies to make me get out of my seat and dance, which is what I do best!

Anyway, check out their appearance on Daytrotter Session! They have three new songs out that are just absolutely amazing. my favorite is Sole Brother. Singer/guitarist, Luke LaLonde, discusses how he used to help his grandfather rake leaves and do chores around his house. He becomes jealous of his sister who never gets to do chores and begins to wish how he was an only child.

I know I have an older brother who can definitely relate to this song. It's cute, catchy, and most of all it's free! SO GO DOWNLOAD IT NOW!

I can't stop listening to it!

Also a song that is not included on Daytrotter Session is Wedding Rings and Midnight Strollers. I think it's on their remixed version of Red, Yellow, and Blue but I say download that too because it has the best transition ever!
