Tuesday Double Feature: The Black Belles "What Can I Do?" & The Coathangers "Derek's Song"

With two boldly powerful female acts, this weeks Tuesday Double Feature is dedicated to the women. So ladies show us how it's done.

The Black Belles - "What Can I Do?"


Oozing with the gothic sensuality of Elvira and late night horror flicks The Black Belles play a mean garage blues-rock that's filled with tell-tale beats and wailing guitars. Having caught the attention of Jack White, he was quick to put this quartet of dark beauties on his Third Man Records Label and produced their Debut self-titled album in 2011. The last we heard of the Belles was the 7" release of their "Wishing Well" in 2012 so I'm crossing my fingers that we'll hear from them soon.


The Coathangers - "Derek's Song"


Based out of Atlanta, the all female punk band The Coathangers is know for the strength of their live performance and their playfulness. But don't be fooled, these girl know how to play around but their music is all guts and no fear and they'll kick your ass on or off the stage. Currently touring with the Japanese rock gods Guitar Wolf, the girls will be gracing our fair city in just under a week, so guys put on your big boy pants and come see how the women do it.

Here's the Details:

Cure for the Mondays: Blood on the Dance Floor - "Bewitched"

Blood on the Dance Floor - "Bewitched"

W.T.F.



Arizona transplants Dahvie Vanity and Jayy Von Monroe make up the electronica duo of Blood On the Dance Floor. With a danceable pop sound and a look of a heyday of Mötley Crüe, this band is an oddly interesting mix of sensory input. I'm a little confused, but I kind of like it. With the release of their latest album Bad Blood earlier this month the duo is on the road in support with both North American and European dates. If everything goes accordingly the boys will swing through our neck of the woods for a show at the Hawthorne Theater on December 14th. Take a listen and a chance, you might be surprised.

Tuesday Double Feature: Gambles "So I Cry Out" & Until The Ribbon Breaks "Pressure"

This weeks Tuesday Double Feature presents two different kinds of love stories that are as diverse as the musical styles that accompany them.

Gambles - "So I Cry Out"



The hauntingly rustic voice of Matthew Daniel Siskin is the weighty presence of Gambles. Birthed in the summer of 2012 from a need to address those unspoken things that linger in the shadow of all our lives, Siskin began to write the songs that would eventually become his debut album TRUST. Pressed on the Secretly Canadian label, the album is set for a US release on October 1st. I eagerly await this release and the honest songs held with in.

Until The Ribbon Breaks - "Pressure"



Like the soundtrack of a David Lynch film, the music of UK artist and producer Until The Ribbon Breaks has a uniquely compelling nature. Having released his debut EP A Taste of Silver, on Republic Records just this last week. URB is gearing up for a short but sweet US tour. With a high profile supporting slot with New Zealand artist Lorde, the closest he'll be getting to us is a sold out September 28th show in Seattle; but with any luck we can hope to see him some time in the near future.Keep your fingers crossed.
