I’ve been wanting to post about Lexington natives, Parlour Boys, for months now. Unfortunately until recently they didn’t have any mp3s available. But now they’ve put a new song on their myspace profile. This one’s for fans of dance-punk and Kentucky.

MP3: Parlour Boys – Lovers
Rumor has it that this track is getting some good airplay in the offices of a major record label. Rumor also has it that no one will believe they’re from Kentucky. What’s up America? We deliver VHS or Beta to your doorstep and you think it’s a fluke? This song might not be quite up to the !!! or VHSoB level, but it’s a step in the right direction. It’s got a great chorus and the outro is top-notch as well. If you get a chance to see them live, you’ll probably be humming this one for days afterwards.

Chromewaves has details on the new Isobel Campbell/Mark Lanegan release (odd pairing? yes) Strangely enough, he’s also the featured blogger on the new Muzzle of Bees ‘Get to Know Your Blogger’ profile.

I missed this Thursday because I was still in ‘I’m seeing Page France tomorrow’ mode (they were great, btw. I got video and will be uploading it), but So Much Silence has The Rosebuds live mp3s.

Dodge posted about The Duke Spirit, and I’m pretty sure I need to listen to these guys.

Rock Snob is on vacation. Feel free to surprise her with a comment while she’s gone!
