Tereu Tereu – Spanish Lynx video

Tereu Tereu‘s Ryan Little created the visuals himself for the melancholy electronic track “Spanish Lynx”, the wrap up song from TT’s 2013 excellent album Quadrants. Yesterday Little’s occasional publisher the Washington City Paper premiered the abstract, washed-out video, filmed on Little’s HTC Thunderbolt phone. Tonight Tereu Tereu kicks off a refreshingly diverse lineup at the Black Cat mainstage with The Deadmen supporting the CD release event for instrumental heavyweights Black Clouds. Get there early!

Laughing Man – Brilliant Colors video

Yesterday Brandon Moses’s always interesting post-punk band Laughing Man dropped their first release in more than 3 years. Ryan Little, music journo and frontman of Tereu Tereu, put out Be Black Baby on his eclectic Bad Friend Records label, picking up some of the energy set free from the demise of Laughing Man’s previous home with Sockets Records. Of course the video for “Brilliant Colors”, the lead off single from the EP, is shot in moody black and white, taking a tour of DC by way of DIY/DIT venue Hole in the Sky. Laughing Man is pretty unique as a black rock band in a scene that can surely do with a dose of diversity, and “Brilliant Colors” addresses this topic directly. Hit up their EP release show this Saturday night at Back Alley Theatre with Mecca Normal, Cigarette, and Sneaks.

Tereu Tereu – Beyond The Coast video

Lots of cool stuff in DC is turning 2 years old these days. Our friends at DC Music Download have a big party next Saturday to celebrate the start of their terrible two’s, and we had a bit of a blowout ourselves last month. Our leadoff hitters that night were the quirky and awesome Tereu Tereu, and they take the stage again at the Black Cat Friday night for the second birthday party of singer and music journo Ryan Little’s label Bad Friend Records. Two years ago Bad Friends began by releasing the debut self-titled EP by Fredricksburg’s Raw Feels, also on Friday’s bill along with the insane Drunken Sufis. It ain’t easy for a scrappy label to make it in DC, so big congrats to Ryan Little for two years of putting out great music! Today’s DC music video of the day is Ryan singing “Beyond The Coast”, from their 2009 album All That Keeps Us Together.
