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.”</span></em></p> <p><strong><em>Photo by Fally Afani.</em></strong></p> <p>More on Cowboy Indian Bear’s record release show <a href="http://iheartlocalmusic.com/2013/05/13/leading-by-example-cowboy-indian-bear-celebrates-new-album-with-fellow-musicians/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://therecordmachine.tumblr.com/post/50434682814http://therecordmachine.tumblr.com/post/50434682814Tue, 14 May 2013 13:57:19 -0500Cowboy Indian Bear<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d0868cb94d8411c8699e61f3c5880c90/tumblr_mmsxigXq3e1qzm1a1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>6/13 at Riot Room we present our good friend Deastro(from Detriot), Max Justus, and Y(OUR) FRI(END). </p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/333022070133730/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/333022070133730/?fref=ts</a></p>http://therecordmachine.tumblr.com/post/50434072333http://therecordmachine.tumblr.com/post/50434072333Tue, 14 May 2013 13:47:00 -0500Max Justus<a href="http://iheartlocalmusic.com/2013/05/09/album-review-la-guerre-the-three-ep/"> Album Review: La Guerre – €œThe Three€ EP | I Heart Local Music</a>: <p>La Guerre stays true to its namesake: battling with emotions and internal struggles with love and loneliness and the pleasure we find in others.
