SAINT AGNES New single ‘Merry Mother of God Go Round’
SAINT AGNESNew single ‘Merry Mother of God Go Round’Out December 8th via Death Or Glory Gang RecordsListen
HERE
[image error]
“Saint Agnes kick out the jams with a fervour and sense of purpose that's genuinely refreshing by shoving the blues through a mangle of 70s influenced psych and metal and then spewing them out in a multi-coloured spray.” – The Quietus
“Psych-rock four-piece Saint Agnes have created a unique cinematic sound and a rock ’n’ roll Gothic image to match.” –The Telegraph
“Their raw chemistry proves as potent as ever as they dish out a grinding splurge of defiant rock n’ roll graffiti” – Q Magazine
‘Merry Mother Of God Go Round’ was recorded at the analogue Soup Studios in Limehouse on tape and engineered and mixed by Dave Holmes. It’s the second single in a series, with fans vying for new material since the tear-away success of ‘Sister Electric’, which sold out its lathe cut vinyl release on pre-order.
Merging effortlessly raw guitars with true rock n’ roll swagger, Saint Agnes are a phenomenon that simply need to be experienced live. A sense of unifying camaraderie fills the air at their shows as the atmosphere is thick with anticipation: something not often witnessed on the London live music circuit.
Churning fuzz bass reminiscent of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and bruising, Bonham style drums provide the backbone of a band that sound something like The Kills providing the soundtrack to Easy Rider. Haunting breakdowns and distant harmonica earned Saint Agnes their Ennio Morricone comparison, but dig deeper and you’ll find the influence of legendary doomsters Black Sabbath and much much more.
Saint Agnes are performing upcoming shows in support of LA Witch and Reef before performing their largest London headline yet, at Oslo, Hackney on Dec 8th.

Glass Animals Announce U.S. Dates
GLASS ANIMALS ANNNOUNCE U.S. DATES GLASS ANIMALS FEATURED ON SPOTIFY'S GLOBAL 25 UNDER 25 LIST
Following sold-out fall tour dates in North America, Glass Animals are returning to the U.S. for two additional headlining shows and special radio show performances in December. The band will play the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN November 27th and The National in Richmond, VA on November 30th before hitting the holiday radio show circuit, playing 9 shows including WXXJ's Winter Ball in Jacksonville, FL, KNDD's Deck the Halls in Seattle, WA, and 98.7's December 2 Remember at LA's El Rey Theatre (see below for full list of dates). Glass Animals' electrifying live performances, including two sold-out nights at NYC's Terminal 5 and sold-out night at LA's Greek Theatre, have earned the band an incredible fan base around the world. Paste praises their live shows, declaring "the backstories of the songs are as rich and developed as the band's on-stage dynamics and energy" and The Wild Honey Pie proclaims "Glass Animals just keep getting better. They're honing in on an incredible mix of hip-hop, R&B and rock which makes them truly stand out in a sea of new sounds." Their shows are not to be missed, with Magnetic Magazine advising "Glass Animals are just hitting their stride and are a sight to be seen whenever you get the chance." The band is touring in support of their critically acclaimed sophomore album, How To Be A Human Being, released this past summer via Harvest Records. The album debuted Top 20 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Alternative Albums chart. The album's first single "Life Itself" has spent 24 weeks total on SiriusXM's AltNation Alt-18 Countdown, including 6 weeks at #1, and "Youth" has been featured as one of NPR's "10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing." Glass Animals has recently been featured on Spotify's Global 25 Under 25 List, highlighting their frequent placement on Spotify's "Rock This" playlist and the 2.5 million monthly listeners the band attracts. The band averages 650,000 Spotify streams daily, and has amassed over 250 million audio streams and nearly 45 million video views. How To Be A Human Being has been embraced by fans and the press alike, and has been pronounced a "complex, exciting tapestry" byAssociated Press and a "colorful collage of life" by Consequence of Sound. USA Today asserts "no one creates atmospheric pop quite like Glass Animals."

Robin Pak has created a music video for the band by utilizing claymation, calling back to the videos you'd see late night on MTV in the '90s. A dog struts through various psychedelic transformative scenes. Watch the video below and catch the band on tour now!

30TH CENTURY RECORDS ARTISTS ON TOUR THIS FALL
GRANDADDY, WATERSTRIDER, NINE POUND SHADOW, AND MAYBIRD ALL ON THE ROAD + SAM COHEN CONFIRMS SHOW IN NYC + BIG SEARCH CONFIRMS SHOW IN LA
Label Recently Featured In Entertainment Weekly And On Sirius XMU30th Century Records has enjoyed an exciting and busy 2016. The label - spearheaded by Danger Mouse - has released new albums from critically acclaimed Los Angeles band Autolux, debuts from Sam Cohen and Waterstrider, an EP from the up and coming Maybird and also the latest from Big Search. Most recently the label announced the signing of the beloved Grandaddy, who will release Last Place on March 3 - their first album in a decade. Watch the video for their current single "Way We Won't" here.
The media has taken notice of the label's efforts; Entertainment Weekly recently devoted an entire page to 30th Century Records which you can read here. Further, September saw Danger Mouse guest hosting Aquarium Drunkards' show on Sirius XMU. He took over the airwaves for 2 hours spinning his favorite music and chatting with Justin Gage about the label.
The artists on 30th Century Records are not only recording stellar albums but touring the world as well. When Grandaddy revealed the news of the March 3 album release of Last Place they also announced a UK and European tour for March and April 2017. Check out their tour schedule here.
The label has teamed up two of its Bay Area-based bands, Waterstrider and Nine Pound Shadow, for a West Coast run of dates that kicks off later this month. Waterstrider - the name used by musician Nate Salman - released his debut album Nowhere Now on 30th Century Records this summer and spent the latter part of August touring the West Coast with Diane Coffee followed by shows supporting The Pixies. Nine Pound Shadow is brothers Breandain and Christopher Langlois. Their debut single " Melody" caught the attention of Danger Mouse who included the song on last year's 30th Century Records, Volume 1 compilation and signed the band to the label. Listen to their current single "Bridges" here. Waterstrider dates are here and Nine Pound Shadow dates are here.
2016 saw the debut EP, Turning Into Water , from Maybird. The 5-piece band founded by Josh Netsky have been honing their live show throughout the year with dates along the East Coast. The band's newest tour kicked off this past Friday with a packed-to-the-gills show at Brooklyn's Baby's All Right. Those dates are listed here.
Singer-songwriter Sam Cohen released his critically-acclaimed debut solo album, Cool It ,this summer. Cohen is playing the closing event at Brooklyn's Manhattan Inn on November 12.
Big Search is the moniker for Matt Popieluch (who is also the voice behind Foreign Born). His latest album Life Dollars was released this summer on 30th Century Records and he supported Cass McCombs on his West Coast tour this Fall. Big Search next plays LA's The Echo on November 22.
