IndianGiver — Plafond EP

If you were to peruse the “About” section of IndianGiver’s Facebook page, you’ll notice how the instruments attributed to each of the Oklahoma City band’s five members are described with downright flippancy: Dylan Jordan plays “sticks & animal skins,” while Jazzton Rodriguez earns his keep with “shanties & loud noises,” and so on.

Various artists — Never Give Up: Celebrating 10 Years of The Postal Service

Few indie bands have had the impact on current music that The Postal Service has. Even fewer have done so with only one album.

Big Worm — Bench All-Stars

Fans of the comedy classic Friday may recognize the name Big Worm, but the Big Worm behind Bench All-Stars is rooted not in South Central L.A., but on the streets of Oklahoma City.

Code 22 — Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!

The guys of Oklahoma City’s Code 22 seem like a likable group of fellas. Their latest release, Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!, is likable enough as well — so likable that on first listen, I took its clean, acoustic sound and clear, unstressed vocals as an alternative praise-and-worship band.

Eureeka — Polysynthetic Fields

It’s always refreshing to hear music that embraces its own eccentricity, yet presents it in an accessible and meek fashion. Eureeka — the Norman-based duo of Jordan Vargas and Devin Wahl — has tapped into this rarified air on its self-released EP, Polysynthetic Fields.

Not in the Face! debuts in Oklahoma at Blue Note Lounge

Gazette staff June 15th, 2011  

Oklahoma City, you now have a chance to get a taste of what Austin, Texas, can’t stop lapping up. The high-energy musical duo Not in the Face! makes its Sooner-state debut tonight at Blue Note Lounge, 2408 N. Robinson.

Alive since 2009, the act is as eclectic as its stated influences: “The Sonics, Dick Dale, Muddy Waters, Tom Petty, Elvis, and the entire ‘Dirty Dancing’ soundtrack.”

For the time of your life, you may want to attend to witness its blend of roots-rock rhythm and blues with a Texas redneck attitude.

NITF!’s debut album, “Bikini,” was released last year, only to sell out in the first night. Last week marked its re-release, as the group embarked on its summer tour.

The show stars at 10 p.m. For more information, call 600-1166 or visit thebluenotelounge.com. —Gazette staff
