Discovering Bands: Secret Machines
Friday, July 11th, 2008
Earlier this week I was talking about discovering bands or hearing things for the first time, which leads me to Secret Machines, a band out of Texas via New York City who are playing Lee’s Palace this Saturday night. Fans of U2 and Pink Floyd should definitely check the band out, as their sound is like some sort of twistedly good merging of the two. Throw in some Zeppelinesque drumming and spacious tunes and you’ve got one of my favourite bands of the last few years. Secret Machines released to albums on Atlantic Records but announced this week that they’d be going the indie route for their third album, a self-titled release due out this fall. These guys are so good that I’m breaking my cardinal rule of not going to a club show to check them out, even though they won’t be hitting the stage until sometime after midnight Saturday. Hopefully they’ll be worth it.
Check out the band below and then use SECRETMACHINES as your weekend bonus code. Have a good one!
