IN-STORE PERFORMANCES
From All Around The World
We're honored to be hosting Scotland's Battlefield
Band on Sunday, October 7th- the day after their
gig at the Palladium in St. Pete.
Under their banner Forward with Scotland's
Past,
Battlefield Band
has been performing on the
international scene for more than three decades,
inspired by their rich heritage of Celtic music and fired
by the strength of
the modern Scottish cultural scene.
The band, who pioneered the integration of bagpipes
with fiddle, keyboards, guitar and voice, mix old songs
with newer, self-penned material, playing them on a
unique fusion of ancient and modern instruments:
bagpipes, synthesizers, fiddles, guitars, cittern, bass,
whistles, and bouzouki.
Named after the Glasgow suburb of Battlefield, where
the group was formed by four student friends,
Battlefield Band has broken down
barriers
and pioneered new directions. Their music is angry,
joyful,
raucous,
contemplative and, most importantly,
accessible to all.
THIS JUST IN: Presidents (in spirit) of Nashville's
Flaming Lips fanclub, DE NOVO
DAHL will be
performing a FREE set at Vinyl Fever at 2:00 on
Saturday, October 20th, prior to their gig
opening for HOT HOT HEAT later that evening. We will
have FREE DE NOVO DAHL EPs to give away
(while
supplies last, of course) and we'd be willing to bet the
band would even autograph them if you ask nicely
(and they have time).
DON'T MISS THIS: JUSTIN TOWNES
EARLE (can you guess whose kid
he is and
who he's named after?) will be playing at
Skipper'
s Smokehouse on Tuesday, 10/23 (Happy Birthday Helena!) and he will be
treating us to a preview at 5:30 that night.
Justin's talent goes
beyond his pedigree. Listen here
and we're sure
you will agree.

SEPTEMBER FEATURES
NEW and NOW on our listening posts -
Bob Marley and the Wailers* Roots, Rock,
Remixed
"Retains the songs and the spirit of the original
Wailers - a great dance party record." - Chris
Blackwell (Founder, Island Records)
Architecture In Helsinki* Places Like
This
This six-piece outfit of musical chameleons has
developed a large, loyal fan base and a reputation for
sensational live shows. They've hit the ground
running
with their third record - ten songs fizzing with
electrical
currents, channeling calypso rhythms and tropical
flavors with lashings of percussion a-go-go. Pop
effervescence hasn't sounded this fresh in ages.
Minus The Bear* Planet Of Ice
"Minus The Bear's brightly appealing indie-pop may
be dispensed with remarkable technical prowess --
complete with precise guitar work and complex time
changes -- but it also benefits from the band's sweetly
personal lyrics and flair for writing power-pop
hooks. Planet of Ice maintains an organic quality that
allows the songs' innate catchiness to shine through" -
- *NPR WORLD CAFE*
Okkervil River* The Stage Names
Riddled with characters real and fake, with the relics
of high culture and the crumpled up trash of low
culture, *The Stage Names* is a cinemascopic take
on the meaning of entertainment in the modern world.
Reverberant with echoes of Motown snap and girl
group pop, redolent with ripe whiffs of dirty rock 'n' roll,
shining with the shimmy of Bo Diddley, the shimmer
of the Velvets, the swagger of the Faces, and with a
glittery sprinkling of cheap perfume to disguise the
stink, *The Stage Names* is a relentlessly paced and
ruthlessly thrilling journey.
M.I.A.* Kala
"There are bird calls, Indian drummers, rapping
Aboriginal children and eerie glitch-and-grind beats
that'd make Thom Yorke puke with envy." - Rolling
Stone

*NEW MUSIC NOW* AT VINYLFEVERTAMPA.COM
THIS WEEK'S FEATURE: BIFFY CLYRO
Who the F is BIFFY CLYRO? Folks will no
longer ask that question as they become acquainted
with PUZZLE, the new release from this
Scottish trio.
Everything about this album is epic - fans of Nirvana
and Muse will totally dig these guys, and so will you.
Puzzle is crammed with glorious rock songs
designed
to unite as many people as possible in the power of
hard rock. From the apocalyptic opener "Living Is A
Problem Because Everything Dies," it's clear that they
have brought their A-game in one gigantic,
ostentatious way - 2001: A Space Odyssey by way of
Wagner and Rage Against The Machine, featuring
stunning baroque choral arrangement and strings by
Hollywood arranger Graeme Revell. Now on tour with
Editors! Check out a few tracks in our pop-up jukebox
