2000s Jeremy is so excited today. Brand new music from Brand New.
The song has the vibe and energy of their ’03 Deja Entendu era stuff.
The song is called “I Am A Nightmare.”
They have a couple shows coming up in Vancouver!
06/01 – Vancouver, Canada @ Vogue Theatre
06/02 – Vancouver, Canada @ Vogue Theatre
And then with Modest Mouse in the PNW!
07/30 – Seattle, WA @ KeyArena *
07/31 – Portland, OR @ Moda Center *

Kowabunga! Modest Mouse is teaming up with Brand New for a co-heading tour.
No Vancouver date (WHAT!?!) but they will play Seattle and Portland at the end of July. Let’s cross our fingers for a rebound in that Canadian dollar.
But maybe….they keep the partnership together long enough for Squamish in August?
Brand New are talking about a new record in 2016. Last year they released this single, “Mene.”
This is my all time fave Brand New song.
Modest Mouse’s latest record was 2015 Strangers to Ourselves…a record we had on heavy rotation during our family roadtrip last summer.
I remember our drive from Portland to Cannon Beach, cutting though the hills and forests to the ocean and blasting through Strangers to Ourselves.
The record and that time are always linked for me now.
Go with yourself.

I read on Pitchfork the other day about this Buddy Holly tribute record coming out.
Modest Mouse does an interesting Modest Mousey spin on “That’ll Be The Day.” In the article you had to go to KCRW’s website and fast forward to hear the song. Silly. So I recorded it and isolated the cut as best I could for you to listen to as a stream here.
Modest Mouse – “That’ll Be The Day”
Go with yourself.

The new video directed by the late Heath Ledger. Savage and bizarre and wonderful.

Click and Listen to: Capital Rock City #57
Thank you for finding my Victoria rock internet show Capital Rock City. Lots of great music this week (just like every week right). Find Capital Rock City in the iTunes store for a free weekly subscription or use the Zone’s handy dandy RSS Feed.

DJ Notes
01) Doc Currie – “Eastern Shore”
02) Aegis Fang – “Ghetto Man”
03) Saul – “Too Quick To Judge”
04) The Racoons – “Secret Song”
I met the boys in Doc Currie last week at Logan’s opening for The CFC (not to be confused with the Couples for Christ). DC is just two just guys doing the drums and guitar thing. Lots of audio weirdness. Two was thinking they sounded like Modest Mouse, I disagreed and pulled some threads of Japanadroids out. But listening to “Eastern Shore” again on Capital Rock City… it is a little more noisy and experimental.
Aegis Fang! Lets do it, this Thursday at Sugar for Beats and Babes 2!
The good kids in Saul asked me a couple weeks ago if they could use a clip form the Zone Afternoon Show in an intro to a song on their new record. I said, “yuppers!” And now you’re hearing it on Capital Rock City. man, those were some good oranges. I still remember them. And to tie CRC 57 in to The Paper Cranes, Miranda went to Save-On and bought some oranges too.
The Racoons are on tour right now… Ontario maybe? They’ll be back in Victoria for a show at Sugar on June 12th. new ep, “Islomania” is out in Early June as well.
The “secret song” at the end of the “I’d Rather Be Sailing with” ep is a song that lead singer Matt describes as their “National sounding song.” The National are taking FOREVER to follow up Boxer, so the Racoons will have to scratch that itch for me.
That’s all I got. Thank you for downloading Capital Rock City. If you like the show, please share the fine music of Victoria with your friends and pass the link on your social networks.
Go with yourself.
