Monsters are Waiting - Photo by Jen MalerIf you are anywhere near Los Angeles or Las Vegas around Halloween time this year, you’ll have the opportunity to see Monsters are Waiting.  The American indie rock band from California will be playing at The Echo in Los Angeles on October 26th, and on Halloween night at the Beauty Bar in Las Vegas for their Halloween Show.  I loved their full length release Fascination, on Retone records, which was released back in 2006.  Their music is loaded with memorable guitar licks, catchy melodies, and strange bit of oddness.  Hey, who said odd wasn’t cool?  I think they rock.  Monsters are Waiting is made up of  Annalee Fery, Eric Gardner, Jonathan Siebels, and Andrew Clark.

Following up with some factual Radiohead news, the band announced that fans can choose what they would like to pay for their new album.  The album will be available to download on October 10th.  The band is currently without a specific record label, so they are free to do what they wish.  Their physical box set will be released in December, so keep an eye out for that one too.  Nice marketing move for the band, this will create a buzz!

New Radiohead album details…

September 28, 2007

..or maybe not. There’s a countdown to some Radiohead details that has created a buzz in cyberspace. A representative for the band has said the website has nothing to do with the band and that the site is a hoax. I’ll leave it up to you to decide weather the website is legit or not. As far as I know the new album will be out in early 2008. Regardless, it’ll be interesting to see what shows up on the site when the countdown is complete.
