Lymbyc Systym Last Month at Modified Arts

I took this video at last months Lymbyc Syctym show at Modified. I had promised to post it a few weeks ago but I never got around to it.

April 19th Review: Part 1 Black Carl

I managed to film a few songs of all the bands who played at Modified last Saturday and over the next few days I will be posting some of them. It was an amazing local show. One of the best all local shows I have seen in a long time with some of the truly most talented bands in town; Lymbyc Systym, Miniature Tigers, and Black Carl.

I have been watching Black Carl a lot over the last few months. They are one of my favorite new bands around here and Saturdays show was a great example of why. They are just always a party, I just don't think you can have a bad time watching them.

Black Carl mixes folky indie rock with a ton of soul and a few bits of retro funk. The vocals of Emma Pew are shockingly breath taking, and the band knows how to lay down a great grove.

The video here is of Black Carl doing their cover of the Talking Heads Psycho Killer. When they played this near the end of their set they got the whole room dancing along.

Arizona bands taking over SXSW

This year at SXSW Arizona is taking over. There are a few dozen Arizona bands from both Phoenix and Tucson playing both officially and unofficially.

The Stiletto Formal, What Laura Says Thinks & Feels, Mostly Bears, The Lymbyc Systym, The Summer Set, The Holy Rolling Empire, Anarbor, Peachcake and Digital Leather all have more than 3 shows. What Laura is even playing with Lou Reed!

In Addition at least three day partys are also being hosted by Arizonans. I have a party I am hosting on the 14th at The Jackalope (6th street and Trinity) with four AZ bands, Stiletto Formal, Princes Ladyfriend, Neba and Digital Leather. There will be free drinks at the event. In addition to that TucsonScene.com is hosting two partys, one on the 12th at Beso Cantina with Mostly Bears, What Laura, Holy Rolling Empire and many more and then a second party on Saturday the 15th with those three bands and more at Sonny’s Vintage.

The Phoenix based Modern Art Records is also showcasing two of their bands, Back Ted N Ted (with two shows) and The Medic Droid (although I can not find the info on their show at this time).


*** I will be updating this list until this Tuesday and then emailing it to my email list. If you have any additional information on any show, or want to be on that email list please email me at StephenChilton@gmail.com ***

The Lybyc Systym to Play One of Their Hometowns

Phoenix and Austin Texas can both lay claims to the brothers know as The Lymbyc Systym, and its no wonder both would want to claim such an amazing band. The duo are headlining a show at Modified Arts tonight with the Texas band This Will Destroy You and fellow Phoenicians What Laura Says Thinks And Feels.

I am excited to see The Lymbyc Systym again. Last time I saw them was in LA with The One Am Radio and they were simply fabulous. I cannot say enough good things about these too.

This will be the first time I have seen What Laura, but I have been hearing the hype for months. They just did a short tour with The Album Leaf, a band that has shared the stage with The Lymbyc System more than a few times, and then will be heading out to SXSW next month, also with The Lymbyc System.

THE LYMBYC SYSTYM - ASTROLOGY DAYS (THE ONE AM RADIO REMIX) [MP3]

Am Radio by The Lymbyc Systm

The Lymbyc Systym need to win a Grammy for best sound track. I just don't know what movie it would be for. Their instrumental mix of jazz, indie rock, hip hop beats, and electronic sounds create a rich and moving sound.

Recently they have been taped by Hrishikesh Hirway of The One AM Radio to not only open for him on his current US tour but also to play as his backing band. Recently I got to see two of these shows (one in LA and one that happened to fall during a short trip back to AZ). These shows are incredible. The Lybyc Systym are the perfect compliment for Hirway.

In addition to their tour The One AM Radio remixed a Lybyc Systym song Astrology Days and Lybyc Systym "rymyx"ed a One AM Radio song Mercury.
