So Mr. Oizo aka Quentin Dupieux and I collaborated on this next song. ….Not really, but I feel like he pressed ‘record’ on my thoughts during my last walk home on the streets of San Francisco. Sometimes it’s like going down a mental checklist of every different variation of sexuality. Transexual…check. Bisexual…check. [...]

Bonde Do Role – “Solta O Frango”
Brazil taking over. The video for “Solta O Frango” doesn’t quite capture the intensity of their live show, but it is one of the better videos to land in our inbox in a long time. Fake chicken fights are super.
Bonde Do Role’s With Lasers seems like it should’ve [...]

Masto & Laulm, Two ex-milk delivery boys started Lucrate Milk (short for lucrative milk) in 1979 & were later joined by two other mates. With a penchant for the absurd & anything morbid the band went about making music with nihilism & careless.
Interest in expressionism & the dadaism combined with the members [...]

Been loving the new Adult. album? April 24th is LA’s Check Yo’ Ponytail with Adult., Erase Errata and Parts & Labor. Resident DJs Franki Chan and Paparazzi. Very solid line up. Of course.

The Black Ghosts – “Anyway You Choose To Give It” (YouTube)
We’ve posted The Black Ghosts a few times before — but their latest “Anyway You Choose To Give It” pretty much solidifies them as a bona fide favorite. Totally can’t wait for the album. Let’s say anticipation sucks.

“let me kiss your teeth…let me lick your eyes….let me choke your throat…let me spit on your face….”
ok…sure…uh huh…por que no? UFO! is at it again. He just got back from a vacation to New York and it seems as if the time off has rubbed him and his music in all the right [...]

Omg. This is almost as exciting as the Daft Punk/Rapture tour. Muscles is touring with Soulwax on their upcoming North American tour. I know! Exciting. Too bad I have a prior engagement that I’ll never be able to wiggle out of on the only date near me — so you’ll have to tell me all [...]

There’s little doubt that Larry Tee could school the Nu Rave kids on a few things — one of them being on how to remain relevant once your faux genre implodes. Love him or hate him, Larry Tee has got his groove back with a track remixed by Herve that could spin off a few [...]

I don’t know where i’ve been the last year, but somehow I managed to let Ghostland Observatory slip through the musical cracks of my life. This duo of front man Aaron Behrens and producer/drummer Thomas Turner is straight outta Austin, TX, but sound like they’re straight outta ‘where-have-they-been-all-my-life, USA.’ They’ve cranked out two albums [...]

I dont know how they did it, but somehow Basement Jaxx managed to tempt Roxanna Shante out of retirement to lay down the vocals for their new track, Make Me Sweat. And thank god they did b/c I think I’ve found my new anthem. I know you may have seen the song on a few [...]

Written by our good friend Patric Fallon:
History Invades are the fucking shit. Main singer/songwriter Paul Harper, since back in the day, has been hyped on DC bands like Q And Not U, Black Eyes, and Fugazi, but he always took those influences to the next level. On their debut album The Structure of a Precise [...]

The Glamour has a new track out that just almost made me pee myself with excitement. If you dug “Respect The Party” then you’ll love this new one… “Kidz Night” is through the roof with energy. Ok, I will be frank with you: “Respect The Party” was an average track compared to this. Fun and [...]

While we’re on the subject of birthdays, RUFF CLUB is celebrating its 1st Anniversary this Friday night. Epic line up including Trash Fashion’s first North American performance, No Bra and DJ sets by Daughters of Kaos and Dirty Dave. Plus the Ruff Club DJs and a variety of hosts. If you’re in NYC don’t miss [...]

Today, it’s our birthday! Happy, happy birthday. We enter the terrible twos. Watch out. We’re about to be terrible.
There’s too much, there’s too much treble in here. The song that started it all… if I were ever feeling super extra nerdy and made a list of my top ten favorite songs of all time, [...]

A family that plays together stays together. Unit 3 with Venus was the 1980’s, sans-polyester version of The Partidge Family. Father Henree Herd on keys, mother Patty Bondage on bass & nine year old daughter Venus singing lead vocals. Oh yeah, cant forget Uncle Jay on drums. Their songs deal entirely [...]

Thank you Whiteboydancefloor for dropping us a note and reminding us that the new San Serac album is out. “Tyrant” was a total favorite a year ago today, and our opinion hasn’t really changed.
There is a lot of weight behind this comparison and I wouldn’t make it unless I really meant it, but San [...]

So I’m glad that the French are getting a good reputation for being good at more than just french-kissing. Golden Bug seems to be good at also making raunchy electro (which the BigStereo family seems to be a fan of these days…see Lezzies on X). Golden Bug is a nasty little project of Antoine Harispuru [...]
