Tomboy + KIM

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

This Tomboy post has been a long time coming — You know Tomboy from his remixes. You know Tomboy from his work with WhoMadeWho. You know him from his singles. And if you don’t already, you will know know Tomboy from his new album, Serious. The album takes a few cues from Tomboy’s previous work [...]

bpm

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

Hey, we’re listed in BPM’s reader poll as one of the best blogs. Pretty cool — especially since we didn’t even troll for votes. And we’re the only music blog listed. Tight. Thank you for voting.
If you don’t live near a newsstand, you can read the entire issue online.

SXSW

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

So It’s been about a week since all the madness began. Too much crazy shit happened. We were pretty much the only ones representing every band with a dance routine. Most DJ’s don’t even support each other and most of them play the same shit. Bands rule, and rocking out drunk from noon until 2am [...]

Foals

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

Foals was one of the many bands on my SXSW to-do list that we never quite made it to…. shame too because in the past few weeks they have quickly become one of my favorites. Judging from the tracks I’ve heard, the Foals are a stop dance party… expect big things.
Their live demo for “Hummer” [...]

Adult.

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

Adult. - “I Feel Worse When I’m With You” (YouTube)
Trends and fashions may come and go, but Adult. is a bona fide staple at this point. Once again a duo, the band has a new album out which proves they’re the voice for the uncomfortable. Mm, some serious awkward moments in their video for “I [...]

Lo Fi Fnk and Greg

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of my friend Greg of Finger On The Pulse (New York). I recently received this email from him and felt like I should share.
Greg:
I have been on the road the last couple weeks with Lo-Fi-Fnk. This mix was made live during a party thrown by Big Stereo and [...]

Fifty On Their Heels

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Time for some nice and grimey rock ‘n roll. It’s nice to take a break from the bass beats and dirty synths to detox myself with Fifty on Their Heels. These three guys from San Diego have recently released a six-song EP on their label, Cat Dirt Records. I wish every album came with your [...]

NWT: Nervous Gender

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

SxSW & various other events had us on hiatus last week but New Wave Tuesday is back! & this time not on a Thursday! Today we venture into the late 70’s L.A. underground scene with Nervous Gender. NG was a punk band formed in 1978 but their heavy use of synthesizers [...]

Khan

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

Is it too early in the year to call Khan’s Who Never Rests the best album of 2007? If you know Captain Comatose then you know Khan, as he was one half of that band. Who Never Rests follows down the same path as previous Captain Comatose and Khan projects — there aren’t many surprises [...]

Le Castle Vania

Monday, March 19th, 2007

So things have been pretty quiet in the dirty south, and we haven”™t heard much from one of our favs: Le Castle Vania. Turns out it”™s because he”™s been redesigning his website and getting remixed by The Toxic Avenger“¦ and I must say I love what”™s been done with the track. It sounds [...]
