chewyfally: “Cowboy Indian Bear is a band that is important to Lawrence because they lead by example. A few months ago, they played a packed show at a local venue, and put a brand new band on the lineup. Giving a new band a slot on such a big show is a grand gesture of generosity, and as I was leaving the Arts Center on Friday, I spotted the guitarist for that band in the corner, quietly singing all the lyrics to himself. This is the new generation, the new crop of musicians, and they’re in good hands when a band like Cowboy Indian Bear takes them under their wing.” Photo by Fally Afani.

Cowboy Indian Bear - "Live Old, Die Young" received a 9 out of 10 on AbsolutePunk.net.

Being that this is only the sophomore effort from the Lawrence, Kansas quartet, there’s ample reason to think that Live Old, Die Young is just the start of what will be a lengthy and rewarding career. While many probably have their mid-year top ten slanted and ready to go, perhaps there’s room for revision. Anyone who can’t find merit with Live Old, Die Young most likely doesn’t have a pulse.

Song of the Day: Soft Reeds - Pregnant Actress

In addition to Cowboy Indian Bear(see post below) we also released a new album from Soft Reeds entitled Blank City. 

Late last year I took a trip to NYC for CMJ and it happened to be just after they finished up Blank CIty. The record was the perfect soundtrack to my time there. It was upbeat and propelled me around NYC to see the sites and the pacing of Blank City just felt perfect for all the sites and sounds around me. 

This is another great record by a band that is criminally underrated and deserved to be heard. Give it a chance and give it the support it deserves.

Song of the Day - Cowboy Indian Bear - Barcelona

Today we not only have Cowboy Indian Bear’s fantastic new album coming but we also have a new one from Soft Reeds(more on that in second). 

As for Cowboy Indian Bear this record has been 3 years in the making and I can’t be prouder of these men and woman. They have worked so hard and put everything they have got into this record. It deserves some listening and I think you will be rewarded.

Song of The Day: Little Legend - Saints

Last summer we got contacted to book a show for Madison’s Little Legend. I was super impressed with their debut ep and their lead single Saints. I booked them a show at the Riot Room and every time I went to the venue they asked me if I signed the band yet. Well in planning this year’s Middle of the Map Fest we asked Little Legend to play. They said they had a new ep and that would like to talk about releasing self titled ep too. i am still loving their infectious working man sing alongs. We re-issued their Self Titled debut Little Legend. Keep your eyes peeled this summer for a brand new ep!

Get Little Legend on itunes!
