The Lemon Twigs - Do Hollywood
from Somebody Likes It Hosted by Shane Bartell, Kevin Newsum, Ryan Newsum, Mark Couvillion
If you peer into the festival hero shot of Michael D’Addario leaping through the roof of The Lemon Twigs' SXSW showcase, you'll note the giant X on his hand: despite the fawning praise, D'Addario, brother Brian and company might be primed to break big this year (they won SXSW's Grulke Prize for Best New Act) -- but they're still not old enough to drink. The D'Addarios, 17 and 19 at the time of the album's recent release -- spread their wings from a musical household in Long Island, fired up a couple of power mullets, and began sculpting the type of clever, influence-on-your-sleeve indie craft that turns heads and sets a band up to play undercards on the summer festival circuit. They're young, they're undaunted. But do they stick the landing? Pull up a chair as we unpack their kickoff LP and sort out just what happens when a couple of upstarts Do Hollywood. Pick up The Lemon Twigs' Do Hollywood on Amazon. A Few Minutes With Jake Bugg's Lightning Bolt could have been written 50 years ago. But it wasn't. A Current Affair Somewhat of a regular on Somebody Likes It, Father John Misty returns with his new album and the song "Total Entertainment Forever".
