MP3: Move Yourself by Karate Coyote

One of the newer bands in Columbus that I’ve been excited to watch grow has been Karate Coyote. They’ve finally released their first EP, a great mixture of Los Campesinos energy and Velocity Girl throwback pop of the mid 90s.

I caught the band live over the summer as part of the outdoor Haiku benefit. I thought they were a lot of fun live, and you can hear the good vibes come out in the recorded music, too. They’ve got a bunch of shows coming up: click here to see a full list. Buy the MP3s via Amazon.com.

James from The Blastronauts has put together a great series of shows here in Columbus Ohio. I could have done with Dressy Bessy not being at Bernie’s, but hey what can ya do…
