The Lawrence Indie Trio’s Next Steps

BY: Lauren textor

Game Boys, Lunchables, chokers and mom jeans. Lawrences’ LYXE conjures images of all these ’90s staples and more with thrumming basslines, steady drumbeats and a layered feel.

These days, Nathan Willett values the autonomy he and his band, Cold War Kids, have gained over a career that now stretches 20 years and spans 10 albums.

That sense of freedom has shown up in tangible ways, first on the band’s New Age Norms trilogy of releases and now on a self-titled album that was released last October. Cold War Kids embarked on these projects after their contract with Capitol Records expired and the band in 2018 released a greatest hits collection, This Will All Blow Over In Time, and a live album, Audience.

The series of successes like touring with The Head and the Heart, The 502s, and Judah and the Lion, has landed this five-some on some of the country's largest festivals. For this assemblage from Oxford, MS, their party mentality perfectly fits in with Laollapalooza. Here's our sit-down with, Matty Hendley (guitar/vocals), Keegan Christensen (keys/bass/vocals), Jacob Christensen (drums/vocals), Andrew Gardner (violin/mandolin/vocals), and Wilson Moyer (bass/guitar/vocals).

Mannequin Pussy is one of the buzziest bands of the moment, having released, in March, one of the year’s best albums in “I Got Heaven” and playing so many shows that, by early July, singer Marissa “Missy’ Dabice needed a serious rest.

“We just did like 55 fucking shows in three months,” she said. “I'm fucking exhausted. We were on tour for three months straight up. We started April 4 and we ended July 1.”

psychedelic Furs Reclaiming their sound while waiting out covid

Made of Rain was officially 29 years in the making as the follow-up to the Psychedelic Furs’ seventh studio album, 1991’s World Outside, before it arrived in 2020. During that time, grunge, rap-rock and a number of other music scenes arose and petered out, five American presidents served, and the internet turned the music industry—and the world—inside out.
