Roundup: Unknown Mortal Orchestra, JEFF the brotherhood, A Lot Like Birds & more…

Vanity Theft final Club Moscow residency show, Wed. 4/13

As the Coachella music festival approaches this weekend, many folks (or at least those who were quick or lucky enough to secure tickets), are preparing for the journey out to the Indio desert for three days of sunshine and music. Following SXSW, the event has become seen as an annual mini-retreat for the industry as well as somewhat of a yardstick for an act’s growing success story, or hype in the case of some artists. If you’re heading out, be sure the heed the extra warnings from the organizers this year… Happening elsewhere, and a look at some sure-to-be hopefuls for a spot on next year’s vaunted Coachella poster, here’s a roundup of recent activity: Portland’s Unknown Mortal Orchestra has signed to Fat Possum Records, following an expeditious rise to blog-fame after releasing a single song on Bandcamp last year… Word has it that Nashville duo JEFF the brotherhood, who was the subject of courting from a variety of indie and major record labels, has signed with a label belonging to the latter category… Supervision-managed act Dry the River, out of the UK, appears to be at the center of a bidding skirmish from multiple labels… Motor-City’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. has made available a new track from their fittingly-titled upcoming full-length It’s A Corporate World, which will be released via Quite Scientific and Warner Bros. Records… Longtime indie shop Doghouse Records has announced the signing of A Lot Like Birds, this follows the addition of former Dance Gavin Dance singer Kurt Travis to the band… Keep an eye on L.A. group Rumspringa, who played their second week of an April residency at the Bootleg Theater last night to a growing number of fans and industry alike… Meanwhile, female-foursome Vanity Theft, who has been recently featured by Nylon, Magnet and the NY Post, will play their final night of a four-week residency at Club Moscow in Hollywood tomorrow night (April 13)…
