Getting to Know...

Babe Club.

Presenting their debut EP, Charleston SC-based Babe Clubhave been working towards their most distinguished project yet for the last two years. Since starting out in 2018 they have released a string of singles that have encompassed and progressed their unique, infectious and downright awesome sound. The aptly titled Remember This Feeling is a real statement of intent and it's out today.

After just introducing their alternative smartphone ‘The Flip-Flap’ in the music video to their latest single ‘Automatic Love,’ Jenna Desmond and Corey Campbell are now looking to stimulate your senses with their five track EP.

Produced by Dan Gleason (Grouplove), Remember This Feeling is a raw and emotive showcase of 90s infused altrock. Infused with melodic pop tones and a nod to punk, the gritty guitar work juxtaposes the incredibly versatile vocal performances, making this one of the most diverse and interesting EPs of the year. Unmistakeable and inimitable, Babe Club have created a sound that has the scope to fill an arena and cause a ruckus in a pair of headphones at the same time. Both inquisitive and intriguing, this is music for the people at its finest.

We had a chat with Jenna all about Remember This Feeling, their creative process and more. Read the Q&A below.

Hi Jenna! How are you? 2020 has been quite the year..How have you dealt with it all?

"Yes, 2020 has been full of ups and downs, mostly downs haha. We made a garden, it died when we got coronavirus. We have tried to stay positive and keep up with making music and recording new songs. I stopped writing for a month or two but when August rolled around, I started flowing a lot. I ended up doing this online artist circle interactive chat and mediation on Instagram. I got to talk with different creatives around the world about our creative setbacks and what not. That kind of cleansed my pallet and let me let go and just be in the moment of what 2020 is."

You've just released your debut EP Remember This Feeling. What can you tell us about the record?

"The theme of the record is making the record. Remember This Feeling is about keeping close to the joy of making music through all of the blunders and growing pains. The lyrics and stories of the songs deal a lot with our time spent on the road touring in the band Susto, and the road being a strange place to experience our early 20s. So a lot the songs are about the struggles of coming into my own identity, missing / fighting with my family, filling a void of female friendship, and dating Corey on the road.

"Influences are Phoebe Bridgers, Bully, Joni Mitchell, Mitksi, Vampire Weekend, Amber Coffman."

You worked with producer Dan Gleason on the EP. What was it like working with him? And what have you gained from the experience of making your first body of work?

"Working with Dan was so crucial to my growth as a singer. He challenged me to hear my voice outside of my head. Things that sound one way to me, sound different to a listener. I’ve only really been a lead singer in a band for two years, so I came out of the studio feeling like a more confident performer. I feel like I got closer to my vision for myself as a singer."

Please take us through your songwriting/creative process.

"It’s different for different songs. Usually I write some words down on my notes on my phone and when I feel inspired to sing or I hear a song that gives me a special feeling I’ll pick up a guitar or sit at the piano. I put my voice recorder on and pull up some random note that I wrote previously and start singing. I might make a demo on my iPhone, and Corey comes by and makes it way cooler and special. Corey sometimes makes a whole track and I sing lyrics over it and we talk about what lyrics we like the best, and those are the ones that make it."

Finally, what's next for you guys? I expect you're eager to get back to gigging again when it is safe to do so?

"We plan on doing some socially distant shows locally and regionally. We did a live stream the other day and it felt really good. We are definitely eager to get back to it.

"Plan on a lot of new music for us next year. We have been exploring a lot of different styles in our home studio and also in Atlanta with Dan and TJ Elias. We are excited to share some new songs with you."

Remember This Feeling is out now.

SUSTO Adds New Dates to 49-City Headline Tour

Charleston-based SUSTO (pronounced “soos-toh”) is adding new dates in Nashville, Vancouver, Richmond and more, bringing the band’s already extensive, headlining tour to a total of 49 cities. They will also be supporting The Lumineers on an additional 17-city North American stretch in March and April.

On January 28, the band made their national television debut performance on “CBS This Morning: Saturday” following the release of their critically acclaimed album & I’m Fine Today (out now on Missing Piece/Caroline).The new album debuted at #15 on Billboard Heatseekers Chart and #1 on Amazon Movers & Shakers Chart.

The five-piece band has made a name for themselves in recent years playing high profile festivals including Austin City Limits Stagecoach and AmericanaFest along with opening slots with Shovels and Rope, Band of Horses, Iron & Wine, Langhorne Slim, Futurebirds and Heartless Bastards. This past fall, SUSTO performed a Facebook live-streamed session for NPR Music’s Night Owl series. You can check out the interview and performance HERE. In January they performed live-streamed sessions with Rolling Stone and Paste.

& I’m Fine Today was recorded at The Space in Charleston, SC.

This album is about coming to terms with yourself and feeling okay with your place in the universe.”

The band released their self-titled debut in April 2014, which Charleston City Paper describes as “Southern Gothic country through and through.” The following year SUSTO recorded a live album featuring Ben Bridwell from Band of Horses and later went on to be the support act for Bridwell and Iron & Wine on their fall 2015 tour.

EVER SINCE I LOST MY MIND by SUSTO

EVER SINCE I LOST MY MIND by SUSTO

This is a damn good album. It’s written by Susto’s lead singer and frontman Justin Osborne, with elements of broody rock, dark pop, indie and a little rootsy, Latin flavor as well (“Esta Bien,” for example, is entirely in Spanish).

Not a weak song on the album.

Susto’s on tour. Check out the dates, then check out more songs from the album at the bottom of this post. Great stuff!

We had a chat with Okey Dokey ahead of their set at Fountain Square Music Festival 2017!

Okey Dokey is a psychedelic indie band from Nashville, Tennessee. The band is composed of visual artist Aaron Martin, and The Week’s guitarist Johny Fisher. Earlier this year the band released their debut album ‘Love You, Mean It’ listen to it on Spotify.

We chatted with them ahead of their set at Indianapolis’s Fountain Square Music Festival! Catch the band at the HIFI Stage on Saturday at 10:00pm! More info here.

How was the band formed, or what made you want to make music together?

Johny: Aaron and I played in a band together when we were younger, and I always loved his ability to be open-minded and create with conviction. So, when I wanted to begin this new project concept, I went to a little party with him and we agreed to write a bit together and see what came out of it. It took about 3-4 months for us to get the material for our first record together. Then we hit up our other old bandmate Jeremy Clark and had him add keys and mix everything. The band sort of formed as the record was being created I suppose.

Which artists/bands have influenced you?

J: We all have a deep love for certain artists like Lee Hazelwood, ELO, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Steely Dan, all things Motown and so many more. Our inspirations live in a million nooks and crannies in between those artists. What I'm saying is...where to even start?

How would you describe your sound, or what genre would you place yourselves in?

J: Placing yourself in a genre just places yourself in a limited box. We try to combine various sounds that appeal to our ears in hopes that it appeals to the ears of others.

Who are your favorite new artists?

J: Lemon Twigs, White Reaper, Liz Cooper, Dan Luke & The Raid, Susto, Wells, Ian Ferguson and a million others

What’s next for Okey Dokey? Will you be releasing more music? More tour dates?

J: I'd imagine just a more of everything. We just started working with C3 Management and Paradigm and they are truly amazing folks and booking us out a bunch to lots of new places. In terms of new music, we are always writing. I'm sure new music will be peaking its head out soon.

What artists/bands are you most excited to see at Fountain Square Music Festival?

J: Dr. Dog of course

Hitchhike Love: The Best of The Week

A Giant Dog. Photo: Daniel Jackson

  Well, we’re inching closer and closer to SXSW meaning that we should see a steady influx of bands coming to town for about two weeks.  The next seven days are pretty stacked with performances by A Giant Dog, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Priests, while locals like Miears and Mydolls host special sets as well.  Houston, your week is packed and planned out.

  Wednesday you should swing by White Oak Music Hall downstairs to get your throwback fix, when the thrash metal of California legends Suicidal Tendencies perform.  While these guys have been around since the early eighties, they’ve pretty much locked into their current sound, meaning last year’s World Gone Mad is on par with their previous albums.  The metal of NOLA’s Crowbar will be on as direct support while the thrash of Colorado’s Havok will open the all ages show with doors at 7 pm and tickets between $24.75 and $30.

  House of Blues will have the first night of The Art of The Teese from Dita Von Teese.  The burlesque revue featuring the famous pinup model and author should be tantalizing to say the least, and the 18 & up show has received plenty of press.  The doors are at 7 pm and tickets are between $40 and $100.

  Priests. Photo: Audrey Melton/Pitch Perfect PR

  I’d guess that many of you would be over at Walter’s for the post punk sounds of DC’s Priests. The popular quartet has turned heads for a good while now, but their latest album Nothing Feels Natural from early this year is their most progressive and cohesive to date.  Add to that an intense live performance and you have a recipe for a heck of a great show.  The aggressive bedroom electronica of DC’s Olivia Neutron John will provide direct support while The Lories will open the all ages show with doors at 8 pm and tickets for $12.

  On Thursday you could start off for the beginning of a concert series hosted by Mid Main Lofts called First Thursday.  The series kicks off with two stellar Austin acts thus being Calliope Musicals and Buenos Diaz.  Calliope Musicals has been hailed for their crazy live shows, and their latest release, Time Owes You Nothing from last year, really makes this trippy psych band pop.  However, they shouldn’t out shadow the beauty and complexity that Buenos Diaz offers up. With recent tracks like “San Fransymphony” and “ 1 2 3 4,” Diaz, who is originally from Houston, is on the verge of giving Elvis Costello a run for his money, as he’s as diverse and equally talented.  The all ages event has gratis adult refreshments, things open up around 6 pm, and it’s 100% FREE.

  If you’d rather get some Americana in your life, then you could head to Smart Financial Centre in Sugarland to catch Colorado’s The Lumineers.  Though the band that’s known for intimate performances is in its fifteenth year, last year’s Cleopatra proves they aren’t going anywhere soon.  Iceland’s Kaleo will provide direct support while the Americana of Susto will open the all ages show with doors at 7 pm and tickets between $49.50 and $64.50.

  Kyle Hubbard. Photo: Jessica Weiss Beal/Courtesy of Artist/Facebook

  Satellite Bar will host the hip hop of Extra Regular featuring Houston’s Kyle Hubbard alongside Fullmetal and DJ Discipline.  With a stacked group like this, their live set should be pretty legit. Virgil Wolfe will go on prior with Grid Squad on before that.  Houston producer, rapper, DJ Mark Drew will spit rhymes as well while Beonk will open the all ages show with doors at 8 pm and tickets for $7 or $10 for under 21.

  Friday you can get your metalcore fix at The Secret Group with Los Angeles’ Silent Planet. While the band hasn’t even been around five years, their latest release Everything Was Sound has kind of catapulted the band onto may fans of the genre’s radar. California’s Hail The Sun will provide direct support where Orange County’s Dayseeker will go on prior.  The intensity of Illinois’ Ghost Key will also be on the bill while Houston’s Great White Fire will open the all ages show with doors at 6 pm and tickets between $13 and $15.

  Houston punk legends, Mydolls will be over at Lawndale Art Center for their Speakeasy series. The show that will feature the band performing as well as discussing the band’s storied career that spans right at four decades together.  The all ages show with doors at 7 pm will be a rare treat and will also include a limited number of red vinyls of the band’s latest album It’s Too Hot For Revolution for the 100% FREE show.  The Girls Rock Camp alumni group, Lazer Kittenz will open the show.

  MIEARS. Photo: Daniel Jackson

  Upstairs at White Oak Music Hall, Houston’s MIEARS will unveil her solo album Who Will Save You? at her album release party.  While this set will include a live drummer, I’ll say that hearing these songs live at a private event a couple of weeks ago really brought the room together as they hit like they’re supposed to with intensity and synthesized soulfulness.  Houston’s TEE VEE will be on as direct support and should bring their indie electronica to life, and Pearl Crush will open the all ages show with doors at 8 pm for the 100% FREE show.  Tickets for those under 21 are $5.

  Satellite Bar ushers in the return of the raucous sounds of Austin’s A Giant Dog.  After inking a deal to Merge Records, the band has really gotten the steam they deserve with the success of Pile alongside the band’s crazed live sets.  The crazy and tripped out rock of Houston’s Frog Hair will provide direct support while the indie rock of Huntsville’s The Hammer Party will go on beforehand.  Howard and the Nosebleeds will open the all ages show with doors at 8 pm and a $10 cover.

  Sick Of It All. Photo: Uncredited/Century Media Records

  Walter’s will host the 30th Anniversary tour of New York hardcore legends Sick Of It All.  While it’s been 30 years, these guys still go hard when they play live and last year’s When The Smoke Clears proved they aren’t slowing down. Eighties punks Murphy’s Law will be on as direct support and should make for a nostalgic show no matter what.  There’s no word of openers, but that could change for the all ages show with doors at 8 pm and tickets between $18 and $20.

  The Clinic will have the garage tinged reggae rock of Washington’s Rik & The Pigs.  Here in support of last year’s Don’t Tell On Me, they should be pretty interesting with their lo-fi sound. The punk of Houston’s The Pose should be dropping a new album as direct support while the intensity of Sexpill will be on beforehand.  No Come will also be on the bill and the hardcore of Houston’s Substance will open the all ages show with doors at 8 pm and a $5 cover.

  At Valhalla on the campus of Rice University, you can get down with the psych pop of NOLA’s Caddywhompus. Mixing psych and electro harmonized pop rock, these guys pack a punch and this year’s upcoming Odd Hours sounds impressive to say the least.  Austin’s Moving Panoramas will also be on the bill while the always good time chill vibes of Houston’s Deep Cuts will perform as well.  The folk hop of New York’s Jack Toft will open the all ages show that gets going around 8:30 pm and it’s 100% FREE.

  Killer Hearts. Photo: Uncredited/Courtesy of Artist/Facebook

  Rudyard’s will have Houston’s Killer Hearts over to spread their glam heavy sleaze rock all over those who attend. Mixing street glam with sleaze rock, these guy make a searing sound that makes you feel like it’s the seventies and everyone is about to fight.  Their release Death On The Dial is full of solos and throwback goodness that’s hard to ignore, like High Voltage era AC/DC when the band was still inventive.  The rapid fire rock of Die Fast will be on as direct support while the garage punk of Idiot City will open the 21 & up show with doors at 9 pm and an $8 cover.

  The newest edition of Terraform will take place at a new venue called The Church.  Featuring sets from Russia’s Mindex and LA’s Asteroids & Earthquakes, the dance party that also has Austin’s Detox Unit and more should be a real trip.  More information is here, it gets going with doors at 10 pm and the open bar event is a measly $15.

  Saturday you can start off at The Clinic when the hardcore metal of Houston’s The Lion of Wall Street swings by to perform.  Mixing elements of punk, metal, and thrash, these guys are definitely worth checking out, and their latest Oil should peak your interest.  No Remorse will be on as direct support while Valens will play one of their last shows under that name.  The surf rock of Total Nightmare will also be on hand and the metal of Shellshock will also perform. Houston’s Date & Destroy will open the all ages show with doors at 7 pm and an $8 cover.

  Deafheaven. Photo: Kristen Cofer/Anti Records

  In the studio at Warehouse Live, I’d guess many of you would head over to catch the experimental black metal intensity of San Francisco’s Deafheaven.  After the intense sounds of 2013’s Sunbather, one of the craziest live acts you can see returned in 2015 with New Bermuda, thus proving they weren’t done being inventive.  These guys are a trip to see live, and the brutal instrumental sounds of This Will Destroy You as direct support just make this show even sweeter. Multi-instrumentalist Emma Ruth Rundle will open the all ages show with doors at 8 pm and tickets between $18 and $20.

  Over at Satellite Bar you can get your skankin’ shoes on for the always entertaining ska of Houston’s The Suspects. Though they’re pretty long overdue for a new album, their last release in 2000, Lost Along The Way still holds up. The ska punk reggae of The Inverters will be on hand as well while the reggae of Metanoia will open the all ages show with doors at 8 pm and a $12 cover.  

  Walter’s will host the most reinvented version of Americana that you’ve ever heard when Austin’s The Cover Letter performs a headlining set.  Kind of like if the rock of Meatloaf was thrown into the folk world, this five piece offers multiple instrumentation and multiple vocals on their latest, this year’s Cities Made of Sand.  Houston’s The New Offenders will bring their bluesy sound to life as direct support while the blues infused sounds of Houston’s Sik Mule will open the all ages show with doors at 8 pm and tickets between $8 and $10.

  Whit. Photo: Scot Overholser/Courtesy of Artist/Facebook

  The Waughford will have the release party for the new single from Whit.  Since lead singer Madison moved to Austin to become a part of the group Sailor Poon, we’ve heard very little from the band that had played sporadically at best before, so this should be worth coming out for. The indie rock of Cleen Teens will go on prior while Traci Lavois Thiebaud will open the 18 & up show with doors at 8 pm and a $10 cover.

  Notsuoh has the solo sounds of The Wiggins over to headline the trippy venue.  The Wiggins have been around a good while, and with the last album Greater Minds, Jon Read takes his solo sound to a whole new level.  The crazed one man drums meets electronica sounds of Pitter Patter will be on beforehand while the never disappointing strangeness of Ak’chamel will go on prior.  There’s also an ice cream tripatorium and live performance art from Jeremiah Carroll for the 21 & up show with doors at 8 pm and a $5 suggested donation.

  On Sunday you could get going over at Walter’s for the second installment of the You Need Pics event.  This time there will be multiple photographers on hand to take pictures of you or your band while $3 Bloody Mary’s and $3 Screwdrivers are served by me behind the bar.  DJ Playlist will be on hand to churn out jams, and if you’ve wanted or needed new pictures, this is the place to get them from the likes of Daniel Jackson, Jordan Asinas, and many many more with more information available here.  The all ages event has a signup sheet and a $5 per person cover with doors at noon.

  Green Day. Photo: Uncredited/Creative Artists Agency

  Later on over at Toyota Center you can catch the always entertaining pop punk of Green Day. It’s hard to believe these guys are still around, as many said that pop punk would never go anywhere back when these guys dropped their album Dookie.  However, a lot has changed since, a punk rock opera, a show on broadway, and last year’s Revolution Radio prove that these guys had more in the cards.  It doesn’t hurt that they’re impressive to see live either.  The intense energy of Against Me! Will be on as direct support and openers for the all ages show with doors at 6 pm and tickets between $39.50 and $69.50.

  The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Photo: Courtesy of Artist/Bradley Garner

  On Tuesday you might want to catch the psych revival music of The Brian Jonestown Massacre who will headline a set over in the big room downstairs at White Oak Music Hall.  While this band was on every record label’s list to sign the controversial ways in which they conducted themselves kept them out of the mainstream.  However, aside from that, they might be one of the best live bands you can see perform and their latest release Don’t Get Lost from this year is breathing new life into their brand.  Flower Graves, formerly known as Mikey & the Drags will get things started for the all ages show with doors at 7 pm and tickets between $20 and $25.

  That’s about all that’s happening around town this week.  No matter what you decide, remember that getting home safe is in everyone’s best interest so please, drink like an adult.

Charleston-based SUSTO will release their highly anticipated new album & I’m Fine Today on January 13 via Missing Piece/Caroline. Following release, the band will support The Lumineerson a 17-city stretch of shows in the U.S. and Canada. SUSTO is on tour now playing select dates with Langhorne Slim and Wild Child. & I’m Fine Today was recorded at The Space in Charleston, SC. Of the record, founder and frontman Justin Osborne says, “Something to take away from it is just understanding and appreciating when you’re not always fine. This album is about coming to terms with yourself and feeling okay with your place in the universe.”

SUSTO is comprised of Osborne (vocals, guitar), Johnny Delaware (guitar, keys), Marshall Hudson (drums), Jenna Desmond (bass) and Corey Campbell (guitar, keys). The band name derives from a medical syndrome specific to Latin American culture that roughly translates as “panic attack.” The band released their self-titled debut in April 2014, which The Charleston City Paper describes as “Southern Gothic country through and through.” The band immediately followed up with a North American tour playing shows with Shovels and Rope and Band of Horses. In April 2015 SUSTO released a live album featuring Ben Bridwell from Band of Horses and later went on to be the support act for Bridwell and Iron & Wine on their fall 2015 tour. Daytrotter, via Paste, described the live performance, calling it “breathtaking.” Earlier this year, SUSTO toured with Futurebirds and Heartless Bastards and made debuts atStagecoach Festival and AmericanaFest – Nashville. This summer they released the standalone single “Chillin’ On The Beach With My Best Friend Jesus Christ,” which premiered onNerdist, who noted, “It’s a catchy folk tune that functions as both bible camp parody and beachfront anthem. Regardless of whether you’re a believer, non-believer, or something in between, it’s tough to argue [the track] isn’t a ton of fun.” Tour Dates: September 27—Asheville, NC—The Grey Eagle# 28—Nashville, TN—Mercy Lounge# 30—Harmony, NC—Carolina Jubilee October 1—Roseland, VA—Devils Backbone Hoopla 5—Tupelo, MS—Blue Canoe 6—Dallas, TX—City Tavern 7—Austin, TX—Austin City Limits Festival 10—New Orleans, LA—Gasa Gasa 12—Baton Rouge, LA—Varsity Theatre 13—Mobile, AL—Callaghan's Irish Social Club 14—Atlanta, GA—The Earl 22—Huntington, WV—VClub Live^ 23—Wilmington, DE—World Cafe Live^ 25—Baltimore, MD—The 8x10^ 27—Burlington, VT—Higher Ground^ 28—Portland, ME—One Longfellow Square^ 29—Asbury Park, NJ—House of Independents^ November 11—Raleigh, NC—Southland Ballroom 12—Greer, SC—The Spinning Jenny December 10—Columbia, SC—The Music Farm‡ 31—Charleston, SC—Charleston Music Hall† 2017 February 28—Grand Prairie, TX—Verizon Theater* March 2—Sugarland, TX—Smart Financial Theater* 3—New Orleans, LA—UNO Lakefront Arena* 8—Duluth, GA—Infinite Energy Arena* 10— Indianapolis, IN—Bankers Life Fieldhouse* 11— Cleveland, OH— Wolstein Center* 14— Pittsburgh, PA—Petersen Events Center* 16—Uncasville, CT—Mohegan Sun Arena* 18—Montreal, QC— Bell Centre* 19— Quebec City, QC—Videotron Centre* 21—Ottawa, ON— Canadian Tire Centre* 22— London, ON—RBC Theatre, Budweiser Gardens* 24— Des Moines, IA—Wells Fargo Arena* 25—Milwaukee, WI—BMO Harris Bradley Center* 28— Winnipeg, SK— MTS Centre* 30—Saskatoon, SK—SaskTel Centre* 31— Edmonton, AB—Rogers Place*
