LGCQuickly-rising Dublin group Little Green Cars haven’t yet released their debut record Absolute Zero but the buzz surrounding the five piece has been steadily growing in anticipation.  Drawing comparisons to Arcade Fire, the folk-rockers build harmonies and dynamic beats to transcendent heights on the handful of tracks they have released ahead of the album’s March 26th Glassnote Records release.

Tonight’s Concert Picks: Hilly Eye and Attia Taylor at the First Unitarian Church Side Chapel, Vacationer at Underground Arts, Shorty Boy Boy at MilkBoy, Free Energy and Bleeding Rainbow at Arden Gild Hall, Ape School and The Interest Group at Johnny Brenda’s

Titus Andronicus off-shoot Hilly Eye play the First Unitarian Church Side Chapel tonight with Attia Taylor.  Hilly Eye, the new Brooklyn-based duo project of drummer / vocalist Catherine Tung and guitarist / vocalist Amy Klein, have made fast moves in their short time as a band.  They released their first EP in 2010, followed by a 7″ on Don Giovanni last year and this year’s subsequent full-length Reasons to Live.  Pulling from the avant-noise tapestry of Lightning Bolt, Sonic Youth and the 90s “riot grrl” movement, Hilly Eye focus on transcendence both in their message and their sound with breathy vocals set against a backdrop of angular, heavy arrangements.  Tonight they play with Philly-to-Brooklyn transplant Attia Taylor, who just shared a few cuts from her upcoming album Luxurious Corners.  Tickets and information for the all-ages show can be found here.  Below, watch Hilly Eye perform “Amnesia” at 285 Kent in Brooklyn.

Watch the new music video from Philly indie rockers The Quelle Source (playing Johnny Brenda’s on Saturday)

Philly indie-rock four-piece The Quelle Source just released a very fun music video for “The French Rapture,” the title track from its most recent EP. Across a bouncy three minutes and change, we follow singer Kevin Ryan on a series of oddball dates with various lady-friends: they wreak havoc on the Franklin Square mini-golf course, race up the Ben Franklin Parkway in Segways, stopping in between for pints at Bridgid’s Pub in the Fairmount section of the city. While we here at The Key do not advocate beer-and-mini-golf meyhem, we do advise you to grab a free download of the song below – it’s got a totally catchy sound reminiscent of The Thermals and Built to Spill. And catch The Quelle Source live this weekend when they open for Goodnight Lights at Johnny Brenda’s.
