The Blood Thirsty Lovers
Label: French KissGenre: Rock
With that fancy new banner we got here at 3hive, prominently listing Memphis first, it's about time we got around to something Memphis, ain't it? Who can be more Memphis (besides Elvis, smarty-pants) than Dave Shouse, in this carnation with friends as the Blood Thirsty Lovers? Shouse is well known round these parts for Think As Incas, the Grifters, and Those Bastard Souls, among others, and his lifelong devotion to guitars and noise. And speaking of Elvis, did I ever mention that my mom taught his cousin 7th grade math?

Like going trick-or-treating in the rich kids' neighborhood where every other house passes out full-size candy bars, Les Savy Fav and their labels are generous enough to fill our plastic pumpkins with music. Discordant, danceable, and definitely worth a good pogo. Les Savy Fav are making their way down the West Coast in a week. Hold on to some of those sweets, you'll need the sugar fix to keep up with these fellows.

The Hold Steady
Label: French KissGenre: Rock
"My name is Steve Perry, baby, people call me Circuit City..." Snarky rock 'n' roll anthems swirl around singer Craig Finn's breathless, cynical wordplay. And then, just like that, they're over...
