Soccer Mommy just announced an LA show co-headlining with Hop Along. I hadn't heard of them, so I checked out their Tiny Desk set and it clicked for me right away.

Too many shows. I'm gonna be broke.

Meg Myers Just announced she'll be releasing a cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" on March 8th, with teaser clips being released periodically leading up to it's release.

 

I can't believe this song went under my radar for this long, I feel like there was a definitive time in my life as a queer before and after this song and I will never be the same wow

 

I wrote a thing.

Some Thoughts on Music: Personal Preference, Diversity, and Accountability

 

Pretty great lineup

 

Meg Myers' cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" is out tomorrow

 

I miss this band so fucking much. I just listened to Dark Storm for the first time in awhile, discovered this about 9 years ago and imported it from AU because it absolutely blew my mind.

Wish they would come back to the US soon, I only saw them once and it's been a few years since then. I see that they're touring in AU since Heather got better so I hope so....

 

I discovered this band a few months back. They are one of my favorite recent finds!

 

They're pretty incredible! Musically and lyrically. I don't hear enough about them honestly.

 

Agreed. I hope they have a decent following in Australia, but I don't know. A lot of Aussie bands don't breakout in the States. Same goes for foreign acts in general I suppose.

 

I think they have a decent following in AUS from what I hear, but when I saw them here (NY) it was at a 575 capacity venue so I don't know how worth it is to come out over here. They did open for Depeche Mode in EU so maybe they're bigger there, idk.

 

I hope they are doing well because they really deserve it. It's a shame that it's so costly to get over here. I agree that it might not be worth it for them if they don't see themselves growing in popularity here. Or maybe they are just being picky, like, it has to be a REALLY great opportunity to play abroad because their profits are too low to make it generally worthwhile.

 

Meg Myers' performance at NPR's Tiny Desk back in December is out now.

Write up on NPR's website

Meg Myers put out one of 2018's most intense and cathartic albums. Take Me to the Disco raged and threw sonic punches at anyone who'd ever attempted to use or abuse her, from former record executives to past lovers. Dressed in a sparkling blue leotard, Myers re-creates that fire and ferocity behind the Tiny Desk, replacing her album's roaring electric guitars and electronics with a pulsing string quartet, piano and brushed drums.

But the most intense part of the performance is Myers herself. The distant, piercing looks she gives during the set's opening cut, "Jealous Sea," are unforgettable and unforgiving as she sings about a rat's nest of feelings — anger, fear, jealousy, desire — over an ex. "Everything's right, everything's wrong / When you call my name," she sings while half-hugging herself. "And I don't think I can stop the jealousy / When it comes, it comes like waves and I can't breathe."

Myers follows with a searing version of what she calls "a very lovely, uplifting song" from Take Me to the Disco called "Tear Me to Pieces," a frenzied takedown of liars, buried secrets and "wicked temptations." She then dials back the fury and indignation to close with a surprising version of "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush. Myers is a longtime fan, and often gets compared to the British singer. But Myers tells the audience she fell in love with the song for its meaning. "It's about men and women and the differences between them, and learning to have empathy for each other."

At the end of it all, standing behind the desk, Myers seems to finally exhale and let go of the fury as she paws playfully at her band, grateful to have gotten through it together.

Another song from the same show. I love her softer acoustic side just as much as her darker side.
