Tomorrow: Warpaint, Javelin, Beach Fossils

Tomorrow night the Ottobar's got a doozy with Warpaint, Javelin, Beach Fossils, and Polygons rounding out a stellar bill. All kinds of sounds to make you move and sway.



Warpaint played the Ottobar before, with our friends Lands & Peoples, and they rocked a beautiful set. These ladies are one EP deep, a release that comes highly recommended and includes the track above called "Elephant". Dreamy psych pop at its best.



We've been lucky in town to have the chance to get pretty familiar with Javelin's live set, as they've rocked a handful of shows in Baltimore over the past few years. They were a highlight at Whartscape this year, and should make for a solid reason to come out tomorrow night. Look for some live Javelin sounds from us soon too.



Beach Fossils are one of the handful of rad bands that Captured Tracks has released this year. The debut LP is full of some of the catchiest lo fi pop music around, perfect for lightening up those nasty late summer heat waves, and an act that is more than certainly worth showing up early for.

Better late than never, here is Valerie's photo set from last Tuesday night's Ottobar show. Warpaint, Lands and Peoples, and Secret Mountains all provided lush soundscapes for those who attended.

Warpaint were an extremely talented closer, a female foursome hailing from Los Angeles. These ladies have heralded a ton of praise as of late, and last week they showed Baltimore why. Their stage presence was endearing, and their pop touched with psych was hazily beautiful. I highly reccomend their debut EP, Exquisite Corpse.

Lands and Peoples were a band to keep an eye on last year, and have sure enough began to come into their own in 2010. Their sound has expanded, along with their lineup as they've added a bassist. Last Tuesday offered a taste of some of the new things they've been working on, as they recently spent a week in Chris Freeland's studio recording a new album. However, the highlight of the set had to be their closing cover of Zomes' "Sentient Beings", of which the original is streaming below.
