Tennis holds court on Grey's Anatomy, Bad Weather California does Daytrotter, and more
Our music scene is a busy place with lots happening. If you don’t obsessively visit the local blogs, alt-weeklies, and other outlets, you could miss something important! That’s okay—we’re here to help with a weekly roundup of some of the more enticing news happening around town.
• Grey’s Anatomy is still on TV and, for Tennis fans, that’s a great thing. The Denver band made its prime-time première last week, with its track “Origins” appearing as the incidental music on the latest episode of the long-running medical drama. The song plays right at the scene where a patient’s life is on the line and all of the good-looking doctors converge.
• Bad Weather California’s five-song Daytrotter session went up today, replete with a nice write-up on the new-school rock band and a pastel illustration of frontman Chris Adolf.
• Sauna has a brand-new new single out, the cutesy garage-pop track “Wanting You.” The song is up now (and totally downloadable) over at Stereogum.
• Metal act Havok is running a contest on its Facebook page, calling out for any and all live video from its current tour with the English Dogs. The contest runs until the end of the month, and the best fan-submitted recording wins a T-shirt and a signed drum head. A few have already popped up on YouTube, including this one from Montreal:
• What’s the point of releasing a music video if you’re not going to throw a party for it? A. Tom Collins will show off its newest video, “Pants Off Dance Off,” this Friday at the Hi-Dive with friends The Blue Rider, Miss America, and host Sid Pink. Le Divorce announced a screening of its own, March 10 also at the Hi-Dive, for its first-ever music video, “Under The Boxcars.” Openers on that bill include Lion Sized and Drunken Arrows.
