Quarry New Music Week: The Little Ones


FEATURED ARTIST: THE LITTLE ONES
official site
myspace


[MP3] The Little Ones - Lovers Who Uncover
[MP3] The Little Ones - Cha Cha Cha - Highly Highly Recommend!

Not much takes me by total surprise in L.A. The Little Ones, however, came out of total left field for me. When I first discovered The Little Ones over at Yeti Don't Dance and Coolfer (Both NYC Based Blogs) I couldn't believe I had never heard this FANTASTIC band from my own backyard of "Hell Ayy".

When I first landed on the band's myspace page their adorable imagery reminded me of The Shins' album artwork for Chutes To Narrow . Then their player kicked in and I discovered a new breed of indie pop all their own. The Little Ones could be be the band to breathe new life into the ailing L.A. Music Scene.

The band will be playing their EP release show TONIGHT at El Cid with Minor Canon. You can purchase their 6-Song Sing Song EP online right here.

I expect you will be hearing many great things from this band in the coming months.

COOL ON THE INTER-NERD:


GvB Has Neko Case in Dallas pictures. I melt like a 14 yr old girl.

MarathonPacks gives you his "Fourtherly Assesment" (I.E His Favors Of The Year Thus Far)

So Much Silence gets Spanked.

Ever wondered what "Crazy" would sound like if Captain and Tenille covered it? Head over to Hang On To Your Ego for Gnarls Barkley on Top of The Pops.

Muzzle Of Bees Has A Drive By Truckers Contest.

I was told, by the person who introduced me to the band, that the artwork was done by the same person who did artwork for The Shins.

The EP is great. I'm wearing it out.
