Welcome #5 Desert Noises

post from The 405 RSS Blog on 20 November 2009 04:32:19 AM. © The 405 RSS Blog

Welcome #4 see's us transported Utah, the land of Mormons.

Desert Noises are made up of of brothers Kyle Henderson (guitar/lead vox) and Trevor Henderson (drums/back vox) along with their dear friend Riley Johnson (Bass/back vox). They probably don't follow the Book of Mormon.

Comparisons to bands such as Fleet Foxes are valid to a point but ultimately their atmospheric backbone is what set's them apart. It's all swirls and floating vocals on a sea of reverb.

I urge you all to give the following video a look and then download the awesome 'New Man', which see's the band bring the tempo.

The 405 Sessions: Po' Girl

post from The 405 RSS Blog on 20 November 2009 04:25:05 AM. © The 405 RSS Blog

There's a good chance that you have absolutely no idea who Po' Girl are, unless you're from across the pond that is.

Made up of Allison Russell, Awna Teixeira, Benny Sidelinger and JJ Jones - this Canadian band play a pretty solid mix of Jazz, Blues and Folk. Think Jazz world stage of Glastonbury Festival on a hot sunny (haha) day and you'll know what we're talking about.

Shot by Lewis Gibbs and Wil Cook in the beautiful grounds of the Art Centre in Norwich, we present to you two songs by Po' Girl.

Book Review: Profiles in Courage

I switched schools when I was in 4th grade. Not long after, I was called to the the principal's office. Not sure what I'd done, I walked to the school's administration office and waited nervously for my turn to see the big cheese, who also happened to be a family friend. What had I done? Why was I in trouble? When I was finally admitted to his office, the principal, Aaron Scholar, smiled at me and held up my most recent English test with a large red A emblazoned at the top. "Congratulations," he said, "I'm proud of you." A few years later, after writing profanity in a school book, I was again summoned to his office. Mr. Scholar waved his paddle in the air and told me to touch my toes. I closed my eyes and held my breath while waiting for the stinging blow. Instead, after a long pause, he said, "There's not much to hit. Now get out of here and don't do it again." Not long after that, for my 13th birthday, Mr. Scholar gave me a copy of John F. Kennedy's Profiles in Courage. It was a little over my head at the time, but I've come to cherish the book, which discusses such luminaries as John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster and Sam Houston. The 1955 book won the Pulitzer Prize and helped propel Kennedy to the White House. With an inscription from my grade school principal, the book has an honored place on my bookshelf.
