Girls’ frontman Christopher Owens proves he’s got his influences right by writing and recording a song dedicated to Felt’s frontman Lawrence. The limited edition, heart-shaped red vinyl containing the song “Lawrence” will be available next November 28th, the day before the guys/Girls hit Portugal for two concerts in Lisbon (29th, Lux) and Porto (30th, Casa da Música). You can listen to the song below already.
Amazing video/audio installation from “Ghosts of the Dust Bowl”.
The Love Making Of is the new project by the Portuguese João de Almeida, the mastermind behind Elite Athlete. The instrumental, perfectly lovable debut EP is out now, through the wonderful MPD. Watch the video for “Chicanos” below, then stream and download (for free) the EP on Bandcamp.

Trying to make Bolachas more like a “webzine” and less like a deposit of free album downloads, mp3s and video embeds, I’ve decided to start doing reports of live shows; we did some festivals in the past (Primavera Sound, Milhões de Festa, Paredes de Coura) and some proper concerts (I remember writing about a Tindersticks concert at Estarreja, the first Roky Mountains Tour in Madrid with Magnolia Electric Co., John Doe & the Sadies and the Handsome Family…) that unfortunately were lost on one of our countless, non-backuped server crashes and whatnot (except for that Milhões de Festa massive preview+report last summer). This time, we went to Guimarães’ (European Cultural Capital in 2012) best venue – and certainly among the best in the whole country and, why not, the Iberian Peninsula) – Centro Cultural Vila Flor, a renewed congress hall who was once part of the Minho university to see one of the best songwriters alive, Will Oldham (AKA Bonnie “Prince” Billy). And this is how it went.
