Freakabout named “Indie Band of the Week” by RockRevolt

A Lincoln band appears in national press this week, as hard rock magazine/blog RockRevolt has named Freakabout its “Indie Band of the Week.” In the accompanying interview, vocalist Cortney Kirby gives a national readership introduction to the band, its influences and one of its favorite memories from tour. Read it here.

A new lineup, consistent touring and, now, some national publicity have all fueled the run-up to Freakabout’s forthcoming full-length album. Before it heads to SXSW next week for the Nebraska Exposed showcase, catch them this Friday at Duffy’s Tavern with Laughing Falcon (RSVP here).

Watch the video for new track “Yellow Light” below:

Uh Oh, Mark Patrick release new videos

Time to catch up with a pair of music videos, one by Omaha rapper Mark Patrick and one by indie rock band Uh Oh.

First, Patrick dives into the Omaha rap scene and his work with the New Generation Music Festival in “Too Much.” The lead single from his forthcoming mixtape Multifarious, it gives a glimpse into his perspective on in-scene involvement, accompanied by on-sight visuals. Multifarious drops this April; watch “Too Much” below:

Uh Oh’s “Songs In The Kitchen” pretty succinctly captures the band’s laid-back party ethos, juxtaposed neatly with Joe Champion’s thoughts on what escape the house show provides. Filmed at Lucy’s Pub in Omaha, it’s an apt companion for an energetic track. Watch the video below:
