CBGB Announces the 2013 CBGB Music & Film Festival For Oct. 9-13 In NYC
Believe it or not, out of all the shows I’ve been to, I never saw a show at CBGBs. I don’t know why that is but just never did. Oh well. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the famous club, they have expanded to a music & film festival happening in NYC on October 9th-13th. I’m not really into these type of festivals (too pricey), but others might be. The info about it is below.

Music Video: Piñata Protest – “La Cucaracha”
San Antonio’s Piñata Protest’s new video for “La Cucaracha” premiered the other day. The song is featured on Piñata Protest’s new album El Valiente which was just released on Cosmica Records and Saustex Media. Shot and directed by award winning filmmaker Jim Mendiola, the video packs over 1,000 still photographs and 144 rubber roaches into a warp speed tour through the streets of the band’s West Side neighborhood in one minute flat. Kind of reminds me of the awesome Joey Ramone music video for “New York City.”

Music Video: Dig It Up – “Eyes On Me”
If you like air guitar, air drumming, air bassing(?) then you’ll want to watch this Dig It Up music video of “Eyes On Me.” The band pretends to rock out in the middle of the woods with nothing but their air instruments. Eventually they play real instruments though. Sorry, should have put a spoiler tag in front of that.

Video: Swingin’ Utters Live at Fat Wreck Chords
More and more sites are popping up of bands playing in random places (*plug* BeforeTheConcert.com *plug*), and record labels are no different. No Sleep Records launched a YouTube Channel and now so is Fat Wreck Chords. Swingin’ Utters played a few songs at their warehouse at Fat in San Francisco and use a clever way of using a mic (by using a megaphone). I guess if you got one laying around, why not. Swingin’ Utters are playing North America to support their newest album including Bowery Electric in NYC on June 12th. Check out the video and tour dates below.
