It has already been a very busy 2009 for John Vanderslice. Since the beginning of the new year, John has already embarked on the “Gone Primitive Tour” with friend and fellow prolific musician John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats, celebrated the 10th anniversary of his now storied studio in San Fransisco, Tiny Telephone, and released an excellent album for a new record label, Dead Oceans.
Despite the busy schedule, John and his touring band were able to drop by the WOXY Lounge again this summer for a return performance while out on the road with The Tallest Man On Earth. Enjoy this performance that features four great songs from his brand new album, Romanian Names.
The deluxe edition box set will include all five Pixies studio albums - Come On Pilgrim (1987), Surfer Rosa (1988), Doolittle (1989), Bossanova (1990), and Trompe le Monde (1991) - on 24k layered CD and Blu-ray (five discs total), with reinterpreted artwork by Vaughan Oliver, the graphic designer who created all of the artwork that accompanied the Pixies’ studio albums. Also included in the Deluxe Edition will be a DVD of a Pixies 1991 performance at the Brixton Academy in London, the group’s videos, possible bonus tracks, and a 54-page book, all housed in a custom slipcase.
So, to enter this contest send an email to woxycontests at gmail dot com with the subject line reading “Pixies Box”, feel free to say whatever you want in the email that might sway our opinion, cash bribes, your undying love for the band and for WOXY etc.
Good luck! And in the meantime, check out these two videos about the box sets!
In advance of headlining the opener of Cincinnati’s Indie Summer series, Peter Adams and his backing band The Nocturnal Collective returned for their second performance in the Lounge. They first played for us just over a year earlier, shortly after the release of I Woke With Planets In My Face, Peter’s second record, which came in at #54 on the 97 Best of 2008. It’s an orchestral indie-pop gem.
In fact, we were catching them just as they were preparing to go on hiatus in order to allow Peter to work on providing music for a pair of upcoming film projects. The quintet played a pair of tunes from both Planets, his 2004 debut The Spiral Eyes and a new tune that’s yet to be released.
The summer concert season is in full swing and we have another great concert to present to you coming up next week. WOXY.com is proud to present Ted Leo & The Pharmacists along with Titus Andronicus and Pomegranates next Monday, June 15th at the Southgate House in Newport.
This should be great show as we are fans of all three of the bands on the bill. And, just like previous WOXY.com presents shows, we have tickets to give away to you!
To qualify for the ticket giveaway, just send an email to woxycontests at gmail dot com with the subject line reading “Ted Leo RX”. We will take entries up until this Saturday and notify the winners on Monday morning. Please be sure you are able to attend the show before entering.
From Auckland, New Zealand, Cut Off Your Hands have been on a rapid rise since forming in 2006, playing high profile gigs like the Big Day Out, SXSW, and the Camden Crawl. Their debut full-length, You & I, was recorded in London with in-demand producer Bernard Butler, and released in October 2008. Their brand of indie-pop contains echoes of fellow Kiwis from the seminal Flying Nun roster such as The Clean, The Bats, and The Chills.
Somewhat unusual for an overseas band, COYH has been touring the US rather extensively over the past year. They chat with Mike about playing in some smaller cities and how much that differs from playing in a place like New York or a festival like SXSW.

It’s a double shot in the lounge today, as we have two amazing bands coming into the WOXY Lounge. Both bands have yet to make it into our lounge here in Cincinnati, but both bands played on our stage at the Monolith festival in 2007. You can check out both sessions here and here. Today is a double shot of great bands in the studio, beginning with Au Revoir Simone, who are scheduled to play for us at 12:30 ET. The band is out on tour right now with The Antlers, who are WOXY Lounge alums, and have a new record right now called Still Night, Still Light.
Later today, we are happy to be hosting White Rabbits in the lounge. Another band that we have really loved for some time but have never had the pleasure of having into the lounge, these guys are white hot right now, with their brand new album It’s Frightening continuing to pick up steam after being released this spring.
So, thats Au Revoir Simone at 12:30, and White Rabbits at 4:30 ET!
