The Tough Alliance came to me like a gift from the gods. I am not really sure how this cd got in my hands. I was putting away some dvd’s of mine and this burnt cd just titled ‘TTA’ written in sharpie fell out. I was kind of thinking it was maybe a random mix [...]

I’m pretty sure I will be going to this, how can I miss it.
Number of bands performing this year that bigstereo has written about: 18 more or less.

Sure it took me a while to fall in love with the Go! Team, but that doesn’t mean I cannot be a zealot now. Not so long ago the Nerd-o-sphere was all wet over the Kevin Shields’ Go! Team mash-up-mega-mix. And for obvious reasons there is a lot of reasons to be excited about that. [...]

I kind of hate posting other people’s stories but I just had to.
Seeing is believing.
DEVO2.O
Seriously check out their videos.

It is no surprise that The Infadels are getting pretty big in their native country of England. Frankly, I am surprised we haven’t covered them yet since they seem like our cup of tea. I haven’t had a whole listen to their full length ‘We Are Not The Infadels’, but what I have heard I [...]

Everybody is calling Polysics the Japanese equivalent to Devo. They’ve had a few record releases here in the States, but have yet to really catch on. Nerds, that is all set to change. Polysics are back with their own hyper electro-punk-synth-pop that will have you dancing and screaming and pulling your hair out. I swear. [...]

From Allmusic.com:
Ester Drang outdid themselves with their previous album, and so it should come as no surprise that the band led by Bryce Chambers forge ahead into some interesting sonic territory, particularly the ambient-cum-disco hue coloring “Come Back Alive” that is a definite, danceable curveball. Think of something David Byrne might be doing if he [...]

Today is the day, folks! The Gossip’s Standing In The Way Of Control hits store shelves. Is it too soon to call this a favorite of 2006?
Got a special dig for you kids. Be one of the first to check out the brand new video for the Gossip’s “Standing In The Way Of Control” directed [...]

You guys can thank Thomas Troeslen for this remix. You know Troeslen for his production work on Jr/Sr’s “Move Your Feet”, and you might know him from his band Superheroes. Anyway, this is a hot dance mix of A.R.E. Weapons’ “Brand New Walking Blues.”

I know a lot of you love hating on the Test Icicles, but give this remix a chance. It’ll make you a lover. Seriously Alan Braxe & Fred Falke made my heart skip a beat or two. Not to mention Alan Braxe & Fred Falke seem to be so indie cool these days with their [...]

I will be DJing here next month, you should come check it out if you are in the Bay Area this Friday.I will be dancing my ass off.

Here’s a fun little club track for you. Check out the Metro B and Maslopè remix of Transformer di Roboters’ “Hi End.” Love how the vocals weave in and out of that heavy bass. Just a fun, harmless tune put out on Metrohead records. It’s available now on 12″ and will soon be released on [...]
