New Foxtails Brigade videos courtesy of City Light Sessions

On their recent trip up to Seattle, Foxtails Brigade hooked up with the fine folks who run City Light Sessions to capture some performances of new songs. They headed out to a rooftop in Queen Anne, with a view overlooking the Seattle skyline and shot 3 great videos. We’re stoked on the results!

New Video for Grey Gardens!

We love fan-made videos! They are always a great surprise, especially when they are done as well as this video from the mysterious picturechris. Taking footage from Grey Gardens, the amazing Maysles documentary on the Beales, and combining it with the Agent Ribbons song inspired by the film? Perhaps a bit predictable…and a little shaky on copyright grounds….but when done this well it’s hard to deny! Kudos!

 

 

Grey Gardens appears on Agent Ribbons’ 2010 album, Chateau Crone, available on CD/LP/MP3 at the Antenna Farm Store.

Agent Ribbons release new video!

Happy Memorial Day! Agent Ribbons are on the verge of wrapping up their west coast tour, with just a couple of shows left on their way back to Austin…..a great time to turn back the clock from their new LP Chateau Crone and to release the video for 2009′s ‘That’s Not Edgar’s Heart’ (from the ‘Agent Ribbons and the Star-Crossed Doppleganger‘ courtesy of Seven Inch Project).

Beautifully shot and directed by Ryan McCoy for Blank Productions, it’s their first video for Agent Ribbons. We hope to see more!

We Are All Awesome!

We Are All AwesomeEvery once in a while, we at Antenna Farm are reminded of how lucky we are to be doing what we’re doing: working with some of the most talented musicians and creative artists we know, doing our small part to bring their work to the world at large. A little gushy, maybe, but what can I say, Agent Ribbons just rolled through town last night and it was, as usual, incredible. So forgive us if the language becomes a bit…florid. We’re in mid-transcendence here!

Over the years, it has been our pleasure to release debut releases from the likes of Papercuts, The Donkeys,The Botticellis, Still Flyin’ and Sugar & Gold, as well as albums from Bart Davenport, Social Studies, Agent Ribbons and many more. With a brand new album from Foxtails Brigade, we are going strong.

And with that, we are pleased to release a brand new compilation of some of our favorite tracks from the last few years. We Are All Awesome is a love letter back to these great musicians and a tribute to their craft. Featuring some of our favorite cuts from the last few years worth of AF releases, this is a great way to get yourself acquainted, or re-acquainted with the Antenna Farm catalog. And best of all, it can be yours for free!

Already charting on a bunch of great radio stations across the US, including (just to name a few!)  KFAI, KDVS, KVCU, KGNU, WRUW, KUCR, KALX, WNYU, KCSB, KTCV, KCPR (#1, baby!) & KXLU, this little collection is just the thing to help you kick off your summer jam.

And yeah, I said it, FREE. Just scroll over to the right side of this page and sign up for our mailing list (we send out updates about once a month, with tour info, free music offers, and more….and we will never share your email with anyone!) for a free, instant download of this great 15 song collection including the artists above and more! For more information about We Are All Awesome and info on getting a free CD version (just pay shipping!) click here.

Antenna Farm Tour Update!

It must be that time of year! It feels like everyone we know is on tour and sometimes it gets hard to keep up. New shows are announced, secret special guests pop out of the woodwork, and nobody gets any sleep! But hey, that’s how we like it. Here is a brief rundown on three bands out working hard to bring their music to the people, burning miles on $4/gallon gas. Make sure to check them out in your town!

Agent Ribbons have been on the road a couple weeks and just announced a free show in Oakland on Wednesday the 18th at the mighty Uptown, plus we just got word that Mike Watt is playing their Bootleg Theater show in LA next week. Nuts! Here’s an update:

Meanwhile, San Francisco’s Social Studies are charting a similar route up the west coast with longtime friends The Donkeys. The boys from San Diego have a brand new album out and are bringing Social Studies along for a few west coast shows, from LA to Seattle.

Tonight it’s Monterey, before the Bottom of the Hill in SF on Friday, then on up to Portland and Seattle. Both of these bands put on a great show, so be sure to come on out. Bay Area friends, we’ll see you on Friday at the Bottom!

And finally, Bart Davenport is wrapping up his Spanish solo tour before taking a short break and heading right back out with his new psychedelic hang band, The Incarnations. An outgrowth of NYC’s Phenomenal Handclap Band, The Incarnations are a power trio featuring BD, alongside Daniel and Bing from the PHCB, mashing the best of their yacht rock tendencies with a psyche-garage hard edge. Tuff.

Social Studies hit the West Coast with the Donkeys!

That’s right. Starting next Wednesday, San Francisco’s Social Studies hit the road for a week’s worth of west coast shows, heading from LA up to Seattle and back again.

The band has been hard at work on new songs for a follow up to 2010′s Wind Up Wooden Heart, and we got a sneak preview last Sunday night when Social Studies headlined the Great American Music Hall here in SF, a benefit for the queer positive anti-bullying organization It Gets Better.

Accompanying Social Studies on this outing are San Diego’s The Donkeys, who have a new album out on Dead Oceans called Born With Stripes. You’ll hear a more pop approach on this album than their last outing, harking a bit back to their self titled debut album, released on Antenna Farm back in 2006.

Both bands put on great shows, so if you’re on the west coast, don’t miss it!

Social Studies and the Donkeys Tour Dates:

May 4th @ The Bootleg Theater – Los Angeles
May 5th @ Carbones – Monterey
May 6th @ Bottom of the Hill – San Francisco
May 9th @ Holocene – Portland
May 10th @ Sunset Tavern – Seattle

And for a hint of the new tunes Social Studies are working on, check out this video of the band playing ‘Delicate Hands‘….shot in a meadow overlooking SF by our friends over at Backseat Beat!

Agent Ribbons Announce West Coast Tour!

Agent RibbonsIt’s springtime, and they’ve got a new vehicle, and that can mean only one thing: Agent Ribbons are hitting the road for a string of southwest and west coast dates covering the last week of April through the whole month of May!

Their last time out here was a frantic whirlwind around Christmas time, and it left a lot of ground uncovered. This time around, they are rectifying that. Several shows in Los Angeles , Sacramento and the Bay Area, plus their first visits to Portland and Seattle in over a year….and by popular demand, they’re even hitting the smaller central CA towns  like Modesto, Grass Valley and Fresno…. this tour will be epic.

Agent Ribbons – I’m Alright

The duo’s 2010 album, Chateau Crone, is one of the fastest sellers in Antenna Farm history, and if you haven’t seen this band play live yet, you don’t know what you’re missing. Get out your datebook and see what the fuss is all about, tour dates below! And keep up to date on new shows being added by checking out the tour page on Facebook!
