Fleet Foxes Set To Make An ACL Taping Appearance

Just because a bunch of bands recorded a ton of ACL tapings while they were in town for ACL Festival weekend, you really didn't think that would be end of them for the rest of the year, did you? On Oct. 7th (which is next Friday btw), Fleet Foxes will be performing a set for the longest-running music series in American television.

Ticket information for the taping should be announced very, very soon [UPDATE: Giveaway is going on now] (maybe even later today). To stay up-to-date, you can read the official ACL blog, follow their Facebook, join their mailing list, and befriend them on Twitter. Looks like they're also looking for interns.

The 37th season kicks off this Saturday with performances from Mumford & Sons and Flogging Molly.

We're really loving the intro for the new season! If you haven't seen it yet, check it out down below.

Video: Zlam Dunk | "Not Stoked"


Last week, Austin band Zlam Dunk released a music video for the song Not Stoked, off of their most recent release, Noble Ancestry. The video portrays the destruction of an apartment complex throughout the video. To provide a little backstory, every member of the band lived in that apartment complex for at least a year. Total, the members of the band lived, and hung out at the Balcones apartment complex for a little over 3 years. When the residents of Balcones found out that the property had been sold, and all residents would be evicted on Sept. 1, 2011, the members of Zlam Dunk saw no other choice but to destroy the place they had shared so many memories.

The band is currently touring the East Coast through the end of October.
