Tuesday Double Feature: Lucius "Turn It Around" & Leftover Cuties "Game Called Life"

This week's Tuesday Double Feature contains videos by two bands with strong female vocals and unique audio tapestries. So sit back and enjoy.

Lucius - "Turn It Around"



The lusciously beautiful music of Brooklyn's Lucius has a grand space and resonance that's hypnotizing. Having just released their first full length album Wildewoman, the band is getting rave reviews from the likes of NPR and the New York Times. Having just played a show at our own Bunk Bar it might be a little bit until we see them again, so go pick up their album to hold you over.

Leftover Cuties - "One Heart"



The LA based Leftover Cuties have been playing their swinging retro-jazz since 2008. With use of their music on TV and recent coverage in The A.V. Club and Paste Music it looks like this band might be hitting their stride. Their latest album The Spark & The Fire, released earlier this years has them on the road in support which hopefully will bring them our way soon.

Cure for the Mondays: Prince - "Breakfast Can Wait"

Prince - "Breakfast Can Wait"

Prince does dirty so good?



Having released his first album over 35 years ago, Prince defines what it is to be a musical icon. Always quick to embrace change, his music has pressed the boundaries of artistic expression and altered the face of American music so many times we've lost count. Armed with the latest incarnation of his New Power Generation, Prince continues to birth amazing songs and jaw dropping performances into the world.

Kate Nash - "Fri-End?"

Here's something fun to get you through your Monday.



The UK's dynamic Kate Nash is a wonderfully energetic bundle of feminist power. Having branched out on her own, 2013 has been a great year for this young woman, having released her 3rd full-length album Girl Talk to fan applause and critical acclaim. Never one to take a breather, Nash has follow it up with the FRI-END? EP and is preparing for a North American tour. Though not quite scheduled, she'll be in our neighborhood and we can only hope she'll pop in sometime around December.

Born with a coal miners soul, the music of Austin Lucas has a certain honesty to it. As though told through the revealing golden light of bourbon his songs are achingly beautiful tales. Able to possess you, there is something comforting to them  like the creek of hardwood floors or your Grandfather's voice. 
Three years ago I caught his set at the White Eagle and I haven't been able to get that show out of my head ever since. The depth of his voice and the purity of his guitar left an impression I can't easily explain. If I'm lucky,  that same magic will fill the air of Dante's this Tuesday night.
With his latest album Stay Reckless out on the New West label, Lucas should be flush with new material. Joining him on stage is a list of great supporting acts, so even though it's a weeknight make sure you don't miss this show.

A songwriter of the highest caliber, Austin Lucas can do things with just six-strings and his voice that few others can. With a heart full of bluegrass and a soul shaped by whiskey and pain this artist creates some of the most stirring songs you'll ever hear. Make sure you catch him this Tuesday evening when he plays Dante's.
