The past year has been a good one for Portugal. The Man. They released their fourth album, The Satanic Satanist and played some big festivals like Bonnaroo and Outside Lands. The band toured like crazy last year and continued to build up a great fanbase in the process.

Now they are ready to take on anything after starting off their 2010 tour with sellout shows, including two nights here in Austin. Their brand new album, American Ghetto sees the band continuing to hone their craft as they prepare to make this year an even bigger success than last. Enjoy this session with Portugal. The Man.

A year after the release of their Sub Pop debut Tight Knit, we caught up with Vetiver right as they were completing a tour with The Clientele.

Led by Andy Cabic, the band is in fine form in this performance which begins with two tracks that were featured only on a limited edition 7″ single released for Record Store Day last Spring.

In the interview, Shiv talks to Cabic about partnering up with Sub Pop, the intricacies of hitting the road when he lives in San Francisco and the rest of the band is around Brooklyn, and his production work on the upcoming album from folk legend Vashti Bunyan.

Lounge Act Recap – Title Tracks

When it became clear to John Davis in early 2008 that Georgie James was probably not going to last, he immersed himself in writing new material. He wasn’t sure if it would become a solo album or if things would possibly turn around and become a second Georgie James release.

By Summer 2008, the band officially called it quits and John had an entire album’s worth of material ready to go. He recorded solo, but eventually assembled a backing band that has become Title Tracks.

While on tour with Boston’s Pretty & Nice, John and the guys stopped in to play a set that includes some tunes from the debut album It Was Easy and even includes an unreleased track called “It’s Wrong.”
