Vampire Weekend back on top!

January 16, 2010 | Category: Free MP3s, Bands | Leave a Comment

Once again Vampire Weekend is back on the top of the charts. Namely with their new song, Cousins, which is getting major radio play & one of the most ‘blogged about’ songs!

Vampire Weekend Miike Snow Chances

Their new album has more of an ‘animal collective’ feel to it with the background instruments, but it works out fantastically. They just released their new album ‘Contra’ on January 12th (In The U.S) & so far its 15th on the charts… Not bad at all.

The point of this blog was to share some tunes! So here you go! Enjoy 3 free mp3s from MSbands.com

Vampire Weekend - The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance (Miike Snow Remix)

Vampire Weekend - Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa

Vampire Weekend - Everywhere (Fleetwood Mac Cover)

Sasquatch Festival 2010 Rumors?

January 11, 2010 | Category: Sasquatch Festival, Free MP3s, News | 4 Comments

We are four months away from Sasquatch 2010!
Rumors are beginning to pick up & MSbands.com is here to start spreading them even more!

Kanye West Sasquatch 2004
Kanye West @ Sasquatch Festival, back in the day.

So as far as confirmed artists are announced we have

Pavement

Neon Indian

HUGE lineup, right? Ehh not so much. But Pavement is enough to make Coachella jealous.

Serious rumors are as followed:

Soundgarden: Reuniting & they are fully aware how much us PNWers (Pacific NorthWesters) love them.

The Pixies: There is a ‘Win a Signed Pixies Poster’ contest on the official Sasquatch website… Are they just trying to throw us off?

Jack Johnson: Headlined before & with his small tour this year, Sasquatch would be right on the way… I wouldn’t mind if he accidently missed us though.

The Strokes: Although they aren’t the best band to headline, they put on one hell of a show. They are recording a new album as we speak & are playing a concert in June (Isle of Wight )

Julian Casablancas: If no Strokes avail I would imagine Julian will show up supporting his new album (Which is fantastic as can be seen on some of our earlier posts).

Wilco: New album. Perfect sound for Sasquatch & overdue to play!

Here are a few MP3s of possible bands that are playing as well as the couple confirmed artists as well!
Enjoy!

Julian Casablancas - Tourist

Wilco - I’ll fight

Atlas Sound - Walkabout w/ Noah Lennox

P.S - Who are you looking forward to seeing as an artist at Sasquatch?

Song of the Day - The Knife in collaboration with Mt Sims

January 11, 2010 | Category: Free MP3s | Leave a Comment

This is a fantastic song! One of the most blogged about artists on Hypem.com this week.

This is The Knife in collaboration with Mt Sims & Planningtorock - The Colouring of pigeons.

The Knife colouring of pigeons

This is an eleven minute song with 2-3 different parts to the song. Starts off with some ‘clings & clanks’ with a tropical sound you would hear in some tribe in the carribean far off out from any contact from humans. Then you hear a new beat which is in the form of voices. You are then taken to this new ‘bjork-esque’ setting which it becomes dark, mysterious & clashing lyrics together to form a very unique sound in its own.

Definitely worth checking out!

The voices start producing lyrics & the tropical steel drums come back in the background of the music.

…In the mouth of the river
Strange - Scene - It is
Every - Thing - In flames

The sky with lightning and the water, luminous
A strange - Scene - It is
Under - Over - Through…

Nikon Festival?

December 28, 2009 | Category: Sasquatch Festival, Opinions, Video Releases, News | Leave a Comment

As most of you know there are tons of independent film festivals floating around each year. In the past 5-6 years the internet has spurred more ‘online’ festivals & brought more promotion to the ‘real-life’ festivals. For the Nikon Festival this year you can win a nice prize of $25,000 dollars for your hard efforts. The video has to be 140 seconds or less. It doesn’t HAVE to be shot with a Nikon camera but quality is judged. When it comes down to it though its people like you & I who really decide the winner.

My personal vote is for a local Seattle group deemed ‘Team Awesome’
