I’m excited for the new album. Here’s a behind the scenes to their new video. Our generation’s DEVO?

Etc Etc has kindly sent me Weird Tapes’s weird and wonderful version of Datarocks’ newie “Give It Up.” I’m quite enjoying Weird Tapes touch lately. Their version of ‘Serio’ by Lost Valentino’s is quirky goodness, and their originals are also fantastic. “Give It Up” will be out through Etc Etc soon.

ANYWAY, next week’s Check Yo’ Ponytail party is with DATAROCK. Be prepared to dance like you never have before. If you’re in LA and miss [...]

SXSW plans:

Rchrd Oh?! is dj’ing at NOON on Friday, March 16th at Factory People. Come out and show yourself and buy some new clothes and listen to [...]

You hopefully already know Shakes (not to be confused with The Shakes), and this is just a friendly reminder and not an introduction. At the very least, you probably already know their spectacular “Fa-Fa-Fa” remix… right?
