We’re really excited about our celebrity ebay charity auction, going on right now! It’s really unique – there are some awesome experiences listed, such as having producer Butch Vig (Green Day, Garbage) record your band’s next single, having lunch with Christopher Nolan (Dark Knight, Memento) on the set of his new movie, or even riding for a day with Lance Armstrong.

Silversun Pickups will headline LA Weekly‘s first-ever LA 101 event on November 3 at the Gibson Amphitheatre, with two stages brought to you by the cherished local paper and KROQ. The LA-band will be joined by The Dandy Warhols and Matt & Kim on the main stage, with an additional act to be announced in the coming weeks. The secondary KROQ Locals Only Stage will be located outside and feature a select line-up from local acts, also to be announced. In addition to offering area fans great music, LA 101 offers a cultural lesson on LA’s finest in food, arts and entertainment. 25 cents from every ticket benefits the Friends of the LA River charity.

The long wait for Sea Wolf’s much anticipated sophomore LP, White Water, White Bloom, ends today. You can stream the album in it’s entirety at AOL Spinner, or buy the album from iTunes. Sea Wolf has also been announced as part of the ‘New Moon‘ soundtrack, alongside artists Thom Yorke, Death Cab For Cutie, Muse and others. Keep an eye on the Dangerbird YouTube page for new White Water, White Bloom video podcasts in the coming days, and don’t miss Sea Wolf on tour this fall!

Bad Veins have been infecting the country with their fuzz-filled symphonic arrangements all summer long, introducing audiences to the irresistible melodies found on their self-titled debut. The dynamic duo of Benjamin Davis (vocals, guitar, keys) and Sebastien Schultz (drums), currently out with label mates Division Day, will embark on a national co-headlining tour with The Subjects, to be sponsored by the revered indie-music session hub, Daytrotter.com. The journey will kick off October 5 in Pittsburgh following a hometown headline show in Cincinnati October 3.

Daytrotter’s commitment to this tour is the direct result of seeing Bad Veins live years ago and instantly becoming fans. “This is a great bill that everyone needs to see and hear,” explains Sean Moeller, Daytrotter’s founder. Moeller and co.’s Peel session-esque site has served close to 8 million free downloads. The site’s purpose as he puts it, is to “work with great bands who we believe in and record them to magnetic tape using old machines.” Special, limited edition hand-screened tour posters featuring both of these bands will be on sale at the shows. A Daytrotter session for each can be experienced here:

Bad Veins
The Subjects

Bad Veins’ first radio track, “Gold and Warm,” was singled out in Spin magazine as one of September’s “Songs You Must Hear Now!,” while praising the boys for flipping, “Pavement’s slacker racket into mainstream magic.”

The band’s non-traditional live set-up of telephones, megaphones and a vintage reel-to-reel player named “Irene,” have garnered them much attention, but it’s their undeniable songwriting chops that have made them truly stand out. Or as MTV succinctly put it: “The band’s secret is Davis’ knack for writing yearning, fuzzed out pop songs that straddle the murky divide between glum rockers the National and the nervous energy of the Strokes.”
