Looking for the perfect track to play 10 times in a row while getting ready to go out with your friends? Joywave's new single, "In Clover," is it. Super saturated in electronica, major lazer tag vibes, and drums that are probably made out of giant Diet Coke cans, it's a hype-y, dance-y, shake ya ass (but watch yourself) track that I cannot stop listening to.
Before the Rochester-based band head west for SXSW, you should head to Bug Jar tonight for their last pre-tour show. Featuring KOPPS, FOWLS, and Hawker M. James, the $10/12 at the door show is worth every cent. Doors are at 8/music at 9 (BJT aka Bug Jar Time). Stay late as the band will be previewing "In Clover" as well as the rest of their new EP, How Do You Feel, following the night's performances
Buffalo friends and fans, make the short drive to the 585 and catch this show.

Hawker M. James, the moniker of former Longwave and Mikey Juekbox member and current Demos drummer Mike James, has released the first installment in what looks to be a monthly series titled "Phases." The Rochester based musician dropped the track "These Hands Are Made of Fire" yesterday and it immediately made us think of early Spoon or Grandaddy. Check out the track below and keep on eye on James' bandcamp page for future installments in the "Phases" series.

Current Demos drummer, former Longwave drummer, and brains behind dream pop act Admirers, Hawker M. James released a timely original Christmas song this morning to ensure we all knew what season it was. With vocal support from Jay Milton and Cal Saunders of The Demos, the orchestral "It's That Time Of Year" sounds like adults performing a song vaguely reminiscent of your niece's Christmas Pageant closer. I mean this in a good way, as "It's That Time Of Year," is charming, endearing, and ultimately genuine. Spread the yuletide cheer below.
