Futurebirds perform live at Lovebird Recording for LaundroMatinee.com. The band performs "Ski Chalet" from their 2010 release "Hampton's Lullaby," as well as two classic covers. The six man country/folk band hail from Athens, Georgia, a city that cherishes its rich and diverse music history and has produced a good number of notable artists in the last few decades such as R.E.M., Neutral Milk Hotel, and Of Montreal. It’s obvious that their home has had an effect on their sound, but they acknowledge it, embrace it, and use it to write wonderfully mellow music.

Blitzen Trapper are about to transcend to that next level. To become that band that combines all that was good about Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead with all that was good about Neil Young and Pavement yet make it all completely their own and without taking too much from any one of those influences. They, along with some other talent based in the Pacific Northwest, are becoming the voices and creating the sounds that will likely define this type of music for this generation. Intelligent, heartfelt and free but with respect to those that have come before.

Vivian Girls have had a roller coaster year full of success and controversy. They stopped through The Laundromatinee's VIBES II performances space and shared four songs with us, including two unreleased tracks.
