The Sour Notes are an American independent rock band.
Based in Austin, Texas, The Sour Notes are known for their cross-genre, DIY aesthetic, self-releasing five albums, three 7-inch records and a cassette. They have toured nationally over ten times, making appearances at CMJ, SXSW, NXNE, Fun Fun Fun Fest, The UMS, Free Press Summer Fest and have shared stages with such diverse bands as The Dandy Warhols, Of Montreal, Foxygen, Future Islands, We Are Scientists, Marnie Stern and Daniel Johnston.
History
The Sour Notes began initially as the moniker for singer-songwriter Jared Boulanger's solo recordings while living in Houston, Texas. The name of the band stems from Boulanger's collection of Moleskine journals containing drawings, rhyme schemes and notes on self improvement, which he called his "Sour Notes". Upon finishing work on what would become his 2008 debut EP The Meat of the Fruit,[1] Boulanger asked long-time friend Chris Page to join him in forming a live band in Austin. There, they met drummer Travis Hackett and bassist Brandi Dipietro through mutual friends and started performing as a four-piece with Boulanger and Page using up to five synthesizers on stage between them. After playing only a handful of shows together, the group recorded their first collaborative effort Received in Bitterness in the laundry room of their East Austin home and hit the road on a snowy, 13-date winter tour up the East Coast.
In Fall 2009, the band released 7-inch single "Never Mix, Never Worry", which presents a more standard-rock format to The Sour Notes' characteristically evolving sound. Shortly after, bassist Brandi Dipietro left the band, causing The Sour Notes to incorporate live electronics and sequenced bass parts at shows. The Sour Notes added keyboardist Elaine Greer to the band during the recording of their synth-heavy third LP It's Not Gonna Be Pretty,[2] which was released on January 1, 2010 to much critical acclaim. Following an East Coast tour in support of the album, the band added bassist Amarah Ulghani and The Sour Notes were selected as official showcasing artists at the 2010 SXSW Music Festival, opening for We Are Scientists at the Official SXSWi Closing Party and Daniel Johnston's that summer. The Sour Notes spent the remainder of 2010 touring with numerous additions to the band, playing over 60 shows in and around the U.S. that year, including Free Press Summer Fest in Houston and the CMJ Music Marathon[3] in New York City.
At the turn of 2011, The Sour Notes released 7-inch single Hot Pink Flares and fourth LP Last Looks,[4] featuring orchestral group Mother Falcon, who arranged string sections on the album and backed The Sour Notes at their release show at Mohawk in Austin. The album was recorded almost entirely without synthesizer and contains a dominant use of acoustic instruments and female vocals. The band toured the East Coast in support of the album and were invited to play the 35 Conferette in Denton and the 2011 NXNE Music Festival in Toronto. 2012 brought the release of split 7-inch record Wait//White with fellow Austin band Marmalakes on the No Play Music label. The 7-inch featured the single "Two Hands Wait" from their upcoming album Do What May, which The Sour Notes would spend the next two years recording. Later that year, U.S. television series Shameless featured The Sour Notes songs "Do-ers & Say-ers" and "One Fell Swoop" during its second season premiere on Showtime.
In March 2013, The Sour Notes were first-round picks at SXSW before releasing cassingle In The Meanwhile, which featured the second single from their upcoming album and a cover of the Wire song "Mannequin". The Sour Notes spent that summer road-testing[5] new songs and were selected based on fan voting, to open for The Dandy Warhols as a part of Red Bull's Sound Select program in Austin that Summer. Upon wrapping up recording on fifth LP Do What May in 2014, the band embarked on a West Coast tour in support of the album that took them to Seattle and back in just 10 days. The album was later released on a rainy September night at Cheer Up Charlies[6] in Austin to glowing reviews and featured many local guest musicians, including Sabrina Ellis (Sweet Spirit, A Giant Dog), who sang on the title track.[7] A couple of months later, The Sour Notes were invited to perform at Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, where they played an exclusive aftershow with Foxygen at Red 7.
The Sour Notes continue to play in and around the U.S. and are scheduled to release a new EP titled Darkest Sour in 2015.

Trivia
- Passages from Paul Éluard's Capitale de la Douleur were sampled on the song "Your Pretty Sphinx Voice" from the 1965 Jean-Luc Godard film Alphaville.
- The Sour Notes' fascination with cinema history is apparent by their use of film-related song titles and lyrics. For example: Song "One Word Emotions", taken from Jean-Luc Godard's 1965 film Pierrot le Fou,[12] Song "The Distant Knell" from Ingmar Bergman's 1957 film The Seventh Seal, Song "Never Mix, Never Worry" from Mike Nichols' 1966 film Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,[13] song "Hot Here Under the Roof" from Ingmar Bergman's 1968 film Hour of the Wolf, song "Last Looks" from Quentin Tarantino's 2004 film Kill Bill: Vol. 2.
- The song "Leslie Burke" is named after a character from the novel Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson.
- The Sour Notes have been known to cover the Neil Young song "Harvest Moon", Wire's "Mannequin",[14] Beyoncé's "Halo", The Ronettes' "When I Saw You" and Jawbreaker's "Accident Prone" during live performances.
