Next month Ladyfinger (ne) will release their sophomore effort, Dusk. (If you pre-order it through Saddle Creek's online store, you'll receive the album two weeks early.) Here's a little taste in the meantime, a ditty called, "Little Things." The song should bring to mind mustaches, black t-shirts, and 70's-era haircuts--good ol' hearty rock-n-roll!

Filed under: TALK

I'm sure there are still some Dischord-loving D.C. kids who are bummed that their favorite band, Q and Not U, is no more. It's hard to stay sad for long, considering that one of their members, John Davis, has teamed up with another multi-talented singer-songwriter, Laura Burhenn, to form the feel-good indie-pop of Georgie James (Saddle Creek). We shared some small talk about Davis' former boss, Ian McKaye, who he calls "a good guy with a great sense of humor" and about sharing the same name as the frontman of Korn. Though it's highly unlikely the two will ever... MORE »
