secret machines

The Secret Machines will be heading out on a US tour in support of their upcoming album entitled The Secret Machines, which is being released on October 14th. Although I am not a big fan, I know that my fellow BOT heads are quite intrigued by the New York/formally Dallas trio. The recording will be released on TSM Recordings, obviously their own label.

The final day of the first annual(?) All Points West festival featured a much different vibe than the more indie-tastic Friday and Saturday. The big name on the bill was Jack Johnson, whose set featured sit-ins from both Trey Anastasio and Matt Costa, who had both performed with their own bands earlier in the day. Other performers during the jam-friendly Sunday included Rodrigo y Gabriela, Cat Power and Amadou and Mariam on the main stage, and The Secret Machines, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, and Rogue Wave holding down the other two. We wish we could have made it up to NYC for this event, but thankfully a whole bunch of other folks did.
