Alex Lahey - Every Day's the Weekend

You say I make you nervous, well, I feel it double
Why is it so easy? We both know we're in trouble
I'm not so good with in between, but how bad can it really be?
So what, you're here, every day's the weekend
Don't know, don't care, every day's the weekend
 

Aussie invading our ears again! Alex Lahey is an alt singer/songwriter from Melbourne. She dropped out of music school and onto the charts last year with a debut EP, and her full album I Love You Like A Brother came out out last week to positive reviews. Performing likably catchy tunes with lovable idiosyncrasies, look for her in little clubs all around the US this winter.

Upcoming Shows

Alice Merton - No Roots

I like digging holes and, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I hope I won't forget to find them
Cause, I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

I build a home and wait for, someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town
Cause, I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

Continuing the week with another rocking female groove, I present to you Canadian/German/British Alice Merton (if you haven't already heard her a dozen times on your alt station). A sudden darling on my local station, I keep hearing bits of this track when I'm flipping the dial and finally tracked down who/what it was this morning. Hitting the ground running with a solid label (Mom + Pop) behind her, her first EP (which this song is part of but which is not on Spotify) came out in July and won an award in Germany already. 

RIYL: Florence + The Machine, Joseph, LP, Mitski

Upcoming Shows

Cut Copy - Counting Down

Tell you all my fears
Losing loves and fading years
But I'm still sitting on my tears
They wouldn't go to waste

No matter what you do to turn it down
Know that I want you too to have the sound
All your clocks are slowly counting down
Love will save, love will save us

Whichever weekend of ACL we choose to attend, there's always a couple bands exclusive to the other we'll have to miss. Last year it was Wombats and Atlas Genius, this year it's Mutemath, Joseph, and Cut Copy. CC's new album, Haiku from Zero, just came out last week and it's goood so even though Keith posted an early release back in July, we're doing 'em again. I'm going to hang out on the rooftop of our building and see if I can hear their set...

RIYL: Chromeo, Miami Horror, YACHT, Toro y Moi
