MOTOR

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

With MOTOR’s Klunk, Mr. No and Bryan Black bring us their first “solo” effort. Everything that I loved about Mr. No and Bryan Black’s previous project, XLOVER, is gone: Nina Rai, pop, Nina Rai, hot vocals, Nina Rai and Nina Rai.
After listening to Klunk, I have yet to be totally woo’d — Not that Klunk [...]

Ruff Club

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

I don’t usually post parties on bigstereo…. especially parties I’ve never been to… but! Wtf…
From the looks of it, Ruff Club at The Annex reminds me of many nights wasted at Luxx (back in the day - HA!). Enough reason to move back to NYC?
Boys Noize will be DJing on June 23rd. Foreign Islands will [...]

Young And Restless

Monday, June 5th, 2006

Young And Restless is more proof that Australia is so hot right now… so ripe. Y&R delivers some perfect post-hardcore, dance punk… sounding something like when the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were still good. You know, when Karen O wasn’t afraid to rock. Of course, with five players instead of three, Y&R has a much fuller [...]

Fierce Perm

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

This is like the type of music I want to shake around and make babies to while listening on full blast. Totally unapologetic, Fierce Perm has that signature Olympia, Washington sound: like, the vocals and guitar are fighting over your heart. They will cut your soul. Not for the weak of heart, this band reminds [...]

Le Sport

Le Sport - “It’s Not The End Of The World”
Le Sport is hardly an insider secret, but as of late I cannot get enough of Le Sport’s “It’s Not The End Of The World”… even if the begining sounds like it is totally lifted from New Order. Perhaps that is one reason it is so [...]

Oakenfold + Brittany Murphy

Thursday, June 1st, 2006

Oakenfold has always made my stomach turn. But. But. But. Brittany Murphy is so hot she kind of makes “Faster Kill Pussycat.” On Oakenfold’s latest outing, he creates a watered down electro stomper (think Goldfrapp-lite) with killer vocals delivered by Brittany Murphy. No surprise that Murphy can sing though… her voice has had a couple [...]

TV-OD

Thursday, June 1st, 2006

Naysayers would like you to believe electro-rock died when The Bravery took stage. But my friends, it is alive and well. If any band is pushing the genre forward, it is TV-OD, a band out of Nottingham. Of course being named after The Normal song helps…
Get out the eyeliner cuz this is some synth’d [...]
