The new album from Frightened Rabbit hits stores here in the US next week, The Midnight Organ Fight. But this is your chance to hear a new song early, as the band played “Head Rolls Off” for us down in Austin during SXSW last month. The good folks at PROJECTMILL and Soft City Lights again captured the event on video, view it below…..
Glenn Kotche is probably best known for his percussion skills in the band Wilco, but Glenn is a veteran of several other bands as well. Among those are Loose Fur, On Fillmore, and 3 solo percussion albums of his own. His solo work is what brought him to town for the 3rd annual MusicNOW festival here in Cincinnati. Glenn joined us in the WOXY.com Lounge for a special Guest DJ set where he spins some artists that he loves and has inspired his own work, as well as some of his own music.
Joe and Glenn chat about MusicNOW, Glenn’s seemingly crazy schedule, his commissioned piece for the Kronos Quartet, and a few other items in the interview as well.

Our good friends in Brooklyn band Pela suffered a setback last month while on the road when lead singer Billy McCarthy fell off the stage at Schuba’s in Chicago. He fell onto a broken pint glass and sliced the tendons in one of his hands. He is doing better now and has begun the process of physical therapy, but like many touring musicians, Billy is without proper health insurance.
All of the dates on the ‘There’s No Off Switch On This Thing’ tour have been rescheduled and the band will hit the road again on May 19th at the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington D.C. In the meantime, Billy has gotten assistance from MusiCares to help with some of his medical bills, but they’re already adding up to thousands of dollars. If you are a fan of Pela and are interested in helping out, the band have setup a PayPal account for donations.
You can log on to Pela Music for more information, the PayPal link, and a gnarly photo of Billy’s stitched up hand.
Just when you think we are all out of SXSW 2008 content, we hit you with more. Enjoy this video of Sons & Daughters performing “The Nest” live in Austin last month…..

Cincinnati has certainly been experiencing a creative windfall in our local music scene as of late. The Chocolate Horse actually began a few years ago as a side project for some of the guys in Readymaid, but it has been in the last year that they’ve really made a name for themselves here in town.
Their debut record “Patience Works!” was released last fall (on 180 gram limited edition vinyl no less) and ended up being nominated for Album Of The Year at the 2007 CEAs.
Newly expanded into a 5-piece (with former Staggering Statistics member Joe Klug now on drums), the band have been hard at work on new material for their 2nd album. We caught up with them right before they left for their first appearance at the SXSW Festival.
Track Listing:
Your Daughter (new/unreleased)
The Caribbean
Patience Works - interview -
Whiskey Won, Fall Down
All The Notion
How Many Licks (To The Center Of Your Universe)
Enjoy this great video of Peter Moren performing the song, “Tell Me In Time” during SXSW 2008. Another great video from our friends at PROJECTMILL and Soft City Lights.
You really have to hand it to Frightened Rabbit. A relatively unknown band from Scotland with only a debut CD that’d received a limited release (ever hear of Hit The Fan Records?) to their name, they turned a wealth of positive reviews and blogger buzz into the catalyst for their first US tour in early 2007, a full six months after Sing The Greys release.
Initially appearing in press photos wearing something akin to Mexican wrestling masks, the band revealed themselves to be a trio from Glasgow, led by singer-guitarist Scott Hutchison and his brother Grant on drums. They eventually signed to FatCat Records, who reissued their debut in the Fall of last year, and that’s when we caught onto them…in a big way. Sing The Greys hit WOXY’s heavy rotation in October and earned enough airplay to make our list of the 97 Best of 2007 at #70.
Now in 2008 with their debut almost a full two years old and having expanded into a quartet, the band have emerged with The Midnight Organ Fight, their proper FatCat debut. Recorded in the US and produced by Peter Katis (Interpol, The National), the disc once again features Scott’s plaintive vocals and emotive lyrics. In this Lounge Act session, it’s just the two brothers performing a beautiful, stripped down set that includes four songs from the new record as well as “Be Less Rude” from Sing The Greys.
