Listen: Saralee – “So Sorry” and “Soft Sounds”
Listen to these two famous comp tracks brand new to bandcamp: http://saralee.bandcamp.com/album/so-sorry-soft-sounds
Saralee is a KLYAM fave and one of thee Boston essentials. Saralee is one of those bands I really hate describing to people, just listen to it. If I had to say, what I find appealing about them is their undeniable pop quality and just overall aura. But, there’s something unique about it, it’s like a totally different sound/world. If you haven’t been turned on to their demo, I ought to just waltz right into your living room and turn you on myself. OR you can click this link here: http://saralee.bandcamp.com/album/demo Yeah, I’d click that if I were you.

Band Recommendation: Dangeresque
Austin Texas’ own Dangeresque is a band you ought to be checking out…right about now! Start with their Quit Your Day Job EP (http://dangeresque.bandcamp.com/) which is by and large groovy and features solid singing chops for a style of music that oft is more lackadaisical! The fuzzy stomper “Walking Dead” has an immediate catchiness not too far off stylistically from The Soft Pack or The Orwells while a tune like “Always Leave A Note” is more bare bones with swift reverby guitar work!
Their latest Boots EP will be released on cassette on Halloween. It is a step up sonically and features some more instruments, a lil’ country, and those good ole kinda guitar licks that I was just bragging about. Stay on watch for more information.

Band of the Week: The Fagettes
The Fagettes – one of Boston’s rock and roll jewels – left a mighty fine impression on us with their latest 7″ If I See Him Again and did the same when they performed covers of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood at the big Halloween extravaganza that went down last weekend.
The band has putting out quality tunes since 2010 — special shout-out to 2011’s The Fagettes, Vol 2 three minutes of brilliance “When I’m With You”. Ryan and Melanie split singing duties and this cool back-and-forth is one of their many highlights – gotta mention, too, the saxophone/harmonica on If I See Him Again!
I agree with what Chris said in the live review, I’m beyond excited to see Fagettes perform again!

Listen To Another Track Off Barbaras New LP: “Day at the Shrine”
The modern classic “Day at the Shrine,” originally recorded and released on The Barbaras 7″ which came via Goner in 2008. The 7″ version is very quiet and lo-fidelity, but features the same kind of awesome pop magic that this Jay Reatard produced version has. This version is better!
