Young Coyotes have been together less than a year, but in that short time, the
act has already embarked on an extensive cross country tour, attracted a high powered manager
in Blee Music’s Brian Swartz (Rose Hill Drive), and, most noteworthy,
generated a substantial buzz locally.
In what literally seemed like
milliseconds after forming, the band went from playing Saturday
matinee sets at places like Lifespot last summer to garnering envious slots on
choice gigs like Monolith’s VIP party and Hot IQs annual holiday
party, which led to them being on the lips of discriminating music fans all over
the city.
Naturally, that sort of attention invites scrutiny, and
already Young Coyotes’ success has spurred a bit of a backlash, causing more cynical members of the scene to wonder, somewhat incrediously, what all the fuss is about. Not bad
for a band that didn’t even exist this time last year and still doesn’t
have a release out — something the band plans to remedy next month.
On Tuesday, March 10, Young
Coyotes will be releasing a pair of EPs, the fittingly titled Basement EP, which contains songs the outfit recorded in its,
er, basement, and the Exhale
EP, containing all new tracks the group recorded at Boulder’s Coupe
Studios. Both of the five-song releases will be available for download
(the former for free on the act’s site) beginning on the 10th. If you
haven’t already, you can catch Young Coyotes, who are currently on tour
(dates listed below) in a few weeks at Larimer Lounge on
Friday, February 27 for Indie 101.5’s one year anniversary party.
