Times New Viking

For the few of you out there that partied with us last Memorial Day weekend, you may remember me playing this little here band, Times New Viking. Well actually, after Jess's killer knock-you-on-your-ass Mai Tai's, you probably don't remember much of anything.

But anyway, Times New Viking came out with a new album last month on Siltbreeze, and in the Fall will be releasing their 1st album on Matador Records. How do I know this? I got the scoop from Ned over at No Love For Ned, the best indie rock radio show on the net. Times New Viking appeared in studio with Ned on his 1st show of 2007, here: No Love For Ned. One of their new tunes is dubbed "Devo and Wine", two passions that hit home for me personally.

Now I know I've raved about the No Love For Ned show before, but if you're not down yet...simply bookmark the following link:

Then check in weekly for a plethora (plethora = approx. 2 hours, in this case) of great indie rock. Click on a show, and endulge yourself into some great music. Some new, some old, Ned does a great job at mixing up the pace, while introducing a lot of great acts, some of which you probably would not have heard of before. If you're the type that forgets easily, sign up for Ned's mailing list and he'll send a friendly update on the current week's show. How convenient. Good guy that Ned.
