It seems it was just yesterday, last month’s band, the mighty Jaguar Love, wreaked havoc on the Rumble circuit. The response to JL couldn’t have been better and we want to extend a HUGE thanks to everyone who came out,  all our partners, sponsors and the venues. Now, on to March…

FUTURE SOUNDS and INDIGENOUS present the San Diego Rumble, Saturday night, March 6th @ Bar Pink in North Park.

This month featuring San Diego’s BEATERS before they take off on a national tour with The Soft Pack — and two out of towners: TWIN TIGERS – an Athens, GA, Old Flame-signed foursome that make shoegaze swirling, straight-up rock and roll that’s far from forgettable and BIRDS AND BATTERIES- A lo-fi, synth-soaked foursome that have managed to evoke equal parts Radiohead, John Carpenter’s 80’s OST work and some Parliament funkiness for good measure.

DJ Mikey Face will be spinning records and we’ve got $3 Trumer Pils and tasty samplings from 9-10pm.

Thanks to SDDIALEDIN, WOXY, and TRUMER PILS.

Also, we’ll be celebrating an INDIGENOUS birthday, so be ready for a sing-a-long. ;0

It’s that time again to ponder the WHICH, WHATs, THIS and THATs…and WHERE to get your spicy veg burrito.  Yes, indeed, Bonnaroo is around the festival corner!  Indigenous is very excited to see Uncle Wayne perform Dark Side of the Moon and are going to have to pull out the ol’ dartboard yet again for the others–luckily in Manchester it’s not hard to be in multiple places at once if you know what I mean. We had so much fun with last year’s blog post, click here to laugh as hard as we just did when we reread it.

Happy Valentine’s everyone! Love is in the air — Jaguar Love! A big thanks for everyone who came out to the February Rumble. We hope you had a great time. We couldn’t have asked for a better turn out or a better show.  A few pics below and we posted the rest on Facebook. See you in March!

It’s day 5 of the great Los Angeles Rain-In (yeah, I’m capitalizing it y’all) and the idea of the ‘rainy-day iTunes playlist’ is wearing thin as we have gone from being stuck in the mood, rather than attempting to find music that fits said mood. Enter Columbia, South Carolina glo-waver, Chaz Bundick and his recent Carpark Records-signed project, Toro Y Moi. This 23-year old is good. Really good. I’m afraid we can’t take credit for discovering this gem – it came to us from the newest addition to the INDIGENOUS staff who’s music taste proves to perfectly compliment ours.

Starting in 2001 as a bedroom project, Bundick had to then focus on getting a Graphic Design degree under his belt. After completion at school, he decided to go after the band thing, though, I can pretty much assume he wasn’t going after trying to become one of the most buzzed-about new acts 2010 (and our office) has to offer. Sounding on the surface like fellow glo-fi, Southerner Washed Out, the music on his Crusers of This debut pop-and-fizzle like an under-the-bed Animal Collective buzzing alongside Daft Punk synths chopped by the crate-digging hands of beat-master Prefuse 73.

Check out standouts “Blessa” “Minors” and “Thanks Vision” off his Feburary 2^ND, Carpark Records released debut LP, Cruisers of This.

After a month of hiatus, FUTURE SOUNDS and INDIGENOUS are happy to bring you the February installment of The Rumble San Diego- now, the FIRST SATURDAY NIGHT of EVERY MONTH @ Bar Pink in North Park. So mark your calendars kiddos…

We’ve had plenty of time to get some rest in January and are hoping to cause some kinda ruckus with this month’s line up – featuring JAGUAR LOVE, THE DABBERS, and SPIDER FEVER! Also, ear candy provided by DJ RUBYMARS. What a way to kick off 2010’s Rumble showcases.

Of course, there will be $3 TRUMER PILS beer specials and if you’re lucky, we may even do an hour of free TRUMER sampling, so get there early. The folks at TRUMER have been great in supporting The Rumble –>ie. making sure the band’s don’t go thirsty, allowing us to keep the event free, providing a premium beer at a low price, and now FREE tastings!

THE RUMBLE is also supported by WOXY, SDDIALEDIN, and M THEORY.

ABOUT THE BANDS….

SPIDER FEVER is a project formed by Earthless drummer-Mario Rubalcaba (who will also be DJing) and he describes them as having “a ‘punk-n-roll’ feel.” They feature Rubalcaba on vocals and guitar, backed by The Heartaches’ Dean Reis and Billy Baggins and Cody Young from The Widows. We can’t wait for this set!

If you haven’t seen THE DABBERS yet, you must. They are a two piece comprised of Shelby Gubba (ex-BRAAIINS!) and Zack Wentz (Kill Me Tomorrow, Tender Buttons). They just released their debut album, And I Was Like, And They Were All…, on their own label, Rax Records. Congrats!

And lastly, JAGUAR LOVE will be joining us from Portland– formed by members of Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves. If the rumors are true, their live set is ridiculous.

Per usual – This is gonna be a party!
