People have been writing about us and our tour.
Listen up. I'm only going to say this once: Action Painters are the best band in New York... Latest single release "456" comes with an EP Lay That Cable and a spring tour. I shouldn't need to encourage you to see this band. But I will anyways: go see this band. They are probably in your town. As for "456," it is the band's biggest work to date. The scope is utterly enormous.
On Wednesday, Action Panthers from good old Brooklyn, NY, are gonna rock the Beachland. These folks are pretty cool, with a nice indie rock sound that isn't too minimalist. I've been digging these guys since the dudes at Citizen Dick blogged about them last month, and was stoked to see them making their way into town. Allison Zatarain, is a serious contender for my indie rock crush of the week. Not only is she cute and a good writer, but her name reminds me of Cajun food, which is totally awesome.)
Their 2007 debut, Chubby Dancer, is solid all the way through, at times wearing post-punk influences shamelessly well, at others shedding them and showing off an original brand of sunny guitar pop that might have lingered and transformed in the night.
It's a sound that should resonate perfectly in the walls of the Southside's Lava Lounge, where they’re playing Thursday night [Apr 30] with Triggers.
Action Painters have been getting a fair amount of buzz lately... it is clear what the buzz is about when you listen to the music - it is undeniably catchy, yet still rough around the edges, exactly what we want from our ‘indie’ rock. Synths add a vintage touch. I don’t think I’ve ever warmed to a band so quickly!

It’s Friday night in Baltimore and there’s plenty to see! The Metro Gallery has a good one with Action Painters...

The band's style is similar to that of Julius Airwave, but the amount of energy in their songs set them apart from most groups that share their style.

Need some action? Action Painters frontman Tom Haslow won’t let you down. But don’t come just for the eye candy (see also: Allison Zatarain on keyboards), not that there’s anything wrong with that. Come for the total package — um, no pun intended — just a little raw and just below the radar.
Some cool indie rock from Brooklyn just landed on my desk and thought I’d share a track with y’all. These guys are on a big ol’ US tour including a stop here in Philly on Saturday night at the North Star Bar with my pals East Hundred
