Telekinesis record coming from Merge in April

Okay so I am a little bit late on this news but I thought it was good stuff to post. Telekinesis, may be your new favorite band you haven't heard yet. Actually it is more of a musician named Michael Benjamin Lerner with a few band members to back him up. Death Cab For Cutie guitarist/producer Chris Walla has recorded the album and the lovely Merge Records will release it on April 7th. What else is there to know?

Check out some tunes from Telekinesis with one simple click over here.

Nanna and Atkinson reteam for Certain People I Know

By now you should know Bob Nanna. He shared the stage with Chris Broach during the Braid days before forming Hey Mercedes in 2000 where he met drummer Damon Atkinson. Unfortuately the boys split in 2005.

Since the breakup, Nanna has been keeping quiet for the last few years instead focuses on pet projects like his solo project The City on Film and his work with Threadless.

Now it seems like those quiet days are over. Nanna and Atkinson have returned have formed a new band coined Certain People I Know. The band has thus far booked to shows in Illinois.

The first being a show Urbana at the Courtyard Cafe on February 13th with another schedule for February 19th at Chicago's Beat Kitchen playing alongside The Smoking Popes. Lets cross our fingers that some form of release is not far behind.
