M83 on Conan
If I could relive this show a million times, I would. Maybe, even one million and one. Watch M83 on Conan here.
Dan Auerbach
Black Keys front man Dan Auerbach goes solo. Maybe for the album, maybe for a couple of albums, maybe just for a brief moment, but it’s everything you would expect from a solo outing from one of Ohio’s best exports. Keep it Hid will be released Feb. 9th. A departure from the normal two man show, Auerbach has decided to go with a full band effort on an album where his pappy is involved on one song. Austin band Hacienda will be backing him up on tour, so if you were thinking it was going to be Dan & his amp, you might be diappointed. You can purchase the album here.

Hockey
Not to be confused w/Hockey Night. These Oregonians sound exactly like what their Myspace profile description entails, New Wave and Soul. The handclap beats and funky grooves have the makings of what NME would name band of the year….

Modest Mouse in Boulder!
Westword is reporting that Modest Mouse will be playing Boulder at the end of next month, Feb. 28th at Balch Fieldhouse on CU campus. Hmmm… (Photo cred: Ryan Muir)
Passion Pit on Fader TV
Looks like the guys visited w/Fader TV in the studio w/some pretty talented kids. I don’t think I was that gifted at their age. I could easily beat Super Mario Bros. 3 with my eyes closed, but nowhere nearly as gifted as these kids….

Operation Aloha
The newest supergroup claims members from Gomez, Phantom Planet, and Maroon 5 (WTF?)
MEMBERS OF GOMEZ, PHANTOM PLANET AND MAROON 5
TEAM UP FOR OPERATION ALOHA
SELF-TITLED ALBUM OUT MAY 12TH
The 14 musicians who make up OPERATION ALOHA had an amazing opportunity. With a month of free time in between tours, recording and the general chaos of their schedules, each musician flew to the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii to live in a strange compound of tree houses with friends whom they respect and share common interests with. Captivated by the magnificence of the island, members of Maroon 5, Gomez and Phantom Planet, among others, decided to plug in some instruments and see what happens. The end result is a collection of songs that captures the tranquility, freedom and spirit of Hawaii. Their self-released and self-titled debut will be released on May 12th.
Allowing themselves to step away from their usual roles and be inspired by bohemian living and a no-constraints approach to songwriting and recording, OPERATION ALOHA experiments with a love of blues inspired rock and Hawaiian folk music, to create a clever collection of songs that draws from the fantasy of escape.
From the charming swagger of “Failure” to the emotional depth of “Phone Booth,” to the slack key coloring of “Ika Pono” and the organic harmonies on “Elephant Pharmacy,” OPERATION ALOHA is a stunning album of naturalistic pop and a uniquely conceptual work from a group of talented musicians.

Bruce Springsteen and E-Street Band Tour
Is is officially cool to like him again, or does it even matter? I haven’t watched the Oscar nominated-Wrestler yet, but he contributed music to the soundtrack and P4K just reviewed the album today. Not enough, the Boss is playing the Super Bowl. Phew.…
