We got a message from our pals Local Natives who played detroit a few months back ~ The guys are playing a bunch of shows at SXSW and wanted to say hey to the MCB and offer up some free music as well....here is what they had to say.....
"Hey MCB!"
How are things in good ol' Dietroit? I am sending you over some unreleased music and a brief update if it's alright. We wanted to give the small handful of blogs who've supported us an opportunity to stream a song if interested, so if you are, have at it! Also included is our crazy sxsw schedule, an announcement that we are releasing an EP with Daytrotter, and a little video we did.
1. New music - check out WORLD NEWS on www.thelocalnatives.com
I'm uncontainably excited to announce two more tracks from Gorilla Manor (our unreleased album).

3. Daytrotter EP
We're currently working with our friends over at Daytrotter on a 5 song EP which will include unreleased new tracks that we recorded live at Daytrotter during our Jan. tour, along with new tracks from our upcoming album. We will have a few of these available via hard copy during SXSW and will let you know as soon as we finalize the tracklisting, online release etc..in the coming weeks.
4. Airplanes Split
We found an abandoned warehouse while on tour in New York and shot this video of us playing Airplanes. If you like reverb, then you'll dig it.
Hope Detroit isn't too cold, and we can't wait to get back and play there this summer. "
If your in Austin get on over and check these guys out!http://www.thelocalnatives.com/
