Everybody Say ‘Hot Dogs’: Briana Marela @ The Comet

Briana Marela absolutely charmed the crowd last night at the Comet in Seattle, accompanied by her friend Gordon Baker on guitar and keyboard. It was a dreamy beam of light on an otherwise dreary Seattle night. Also filling out the bill were Hotel Vignette  (members of Rose Windows) and Seattle’s own Yada Yada Blues Band.

Later in the night, Briana and Gordon kicked it with Jake Jones (of Christmas and Sick Sad World), who before playing drums in Malaikat Dan Singa, enjoyed a hot dog.

Chris Sand – Horse Graveyard

Bicycle Records is proud to present the latest album from Chris Sand! No gimmicks here, just guts. “Horse Graveyard” sneers and seduces but it always captivates as the lonesome cowboy hero recalls trials and triumphs from ghosts both past and present.

Hey Everyone, Sorry I’ve been absent from the blog lately. Happy 2012. I have some very exciting news.
#1 Bicycle Records is now Partnered with Yo Yo Recordings
YO YO is an legendary Olympia label started by Pat Maley in the 90s. Pat is responsible for recording and releasing music from such artists as uhhh… Elliot Freaking Smith! Rebecca Pearcy, The Mountain Goats, Mirah, The Black Cat Orchestra, and soooo many others. We’re going to be getting all of that online as soon as possible. It is a lot of work!
#2 Rye ‘N Clover!
We are totally stoked to be releasing a new album by Ithaca NY’s Rye ‘n Clover. It is a-mazing. Expect to see it here soon.
