Lollapalooza is coming up. As always, Glorious Noise will have a posse roaming Grant Park in search of warm felafels and cold beer. Along the way we try to stumble across some good music. There are a lot of bands on the line-up that we don't know much about. So we threw out some questions to help us all get to know the Lollapalooza line-up. BOOM. Answered by Anamanaguchi guitarist Ary Warnaar. 1. What’s the best part of playing festivals? You get to pretend that everyone else on the lineup [...]
Ladies and gentelemen, I present my favorite remix of 2012 so far. Fang Island and Anamanaguchi are two of the most “party-ready” bands out there today, so when the two hooked up for a remix of Fang Island’s latest single “Sisterly”, expectations were through the roof. I’m happy to report everything in this is spectacular. Not overpowering the track’s massive melodies, the NYC bitcore group add just the right amout of Super Nintendo madness to make every cynic smile a little bit more today. You should just feel like your on top of this world after [...]
Fang Island and Anamanaguchi are two of the most party-ready bands out there. When the two announced they would be hooking up for a remix of Fang Island's latest single, "Sisterly", my expectations were set pretty high. Thankfully, Anamanaguchi do not disappoint. Staying true to the original track's massive hooks, the NYC bit-core outfit adds just enough of their Nintendo-inspired madness to the mix. "Sisterly" and its Anamanaguchi remix are available for purchase on iTunes . Fang Island's sophomore record, Major , comes out out on 7/24 via Sargent House . [...]
Enjoy their take on 'Sisterly' via SoundCloud. Major will see daylight shortly. Anamanaguchi recently dropped by Daytrotter. Purchase Fang Island items via Insound. MP3: Fang Island - Sisterly
It's beginning to feel like this summer is just one never ending music festival. In addition to the Northside Festival, which begins in Brooklyn tonight, NYC will get another multi-venue festival next week with the recently revived New Music Seminar which runs from June 17-20 this year. Some of you out there may have lived (and gone to see shows) long enough in New York City to remember the fest's original incarnation which existed for a week every summer from 1980 to 1995. It was a little like CMJ, but more focused on live [...]
MP3: Anamanaguchi- So Bored (Wavves Cover) Wavves' Nathan Williams describes his new video game Weed Demon in which you traffic drugs in suburban neighborhoods as such: "It's like Paper Boy but you deliver drugs and you feed a monster meth at the end. I've been recording. Having fun with this kind of stuff on the side. Thanks to Mishka, Vice, and everyone helping me do random shit like this. Hope we can turn weed demon into an app someday." - Nathan of [...]
There are a few things all stoners love: snack foods, bean bag chairs, and video games. But since Halo or Call of Duty have no genuine connotations to most stoners' existence, their de facto leader, nihilistic surf-punk band Wavves , has teamed with VICE and Mishka to tailor-make a video game for the legions of pot aficionados currently wasting precious basement space. Weed Demon is, according to frontman Nathan Williams, "like Paper Boy but you deliver drugs and you feed a monster meth at the end", with players taking control of [...]
Hey, y'all. Here are a list of albums I wanted to review this month, but I didn't get a chance to, unfortunately. These are the albums I touch on for a bit in this video: LIL B- GOD'S FATHER CEREMONY- ZOO ANAMANAGUCHI- SINGLES + REMIX COLLECTIONS GENTLEMAN JESSE- LEAVING ATLANTA DJ PREMIERE & BUMPY KNUCKLES- KOLEXXXION LEE RANALDO- BETWEEN THE TIMES AND THE TIDES BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN- WRECKING BALL ZEUS- BUSTING VISIONS SIGH- IN SOMNIPHOBIA CANNIBAL CORPSE- TORTURE WATCH THE Y U NO REVIEW
Para muchos de nosotros Anamanaguchi resultará familiar, no por su nombre, ni por sus integrantes, sino por su música que pareciera como sacada de un videojuego. Un viejo Nintendo al que conectan sus instrumentos y una batería con distorsión, son la clave de su sonido, que ellos mismo catalogan como chiptune punk, música hecha con [...]

Toronto - Honestly, this was a bit of a crazy night. I started off the evening at the Monster Jam monster truck show, followed that with Anamanaguchi 's set at Wrongbar, and then capped off the night with a trip to the Bovine. That's at least one too many things for one evening, yet i did it anyways. Consider it conditioning for all the club hopping I'll be doing in a couple months' time for SXSW and CMW. Except without the monster trucks. Really, SXSW should have monster trucks though. I mean, it is in Texas after all. Everything's [...]
When the temperature drops people tend to hide in their apartments, which was evident in Parkdale on Saturday night as I made my way to Wrongbar. Once I got to my destination, however, it seemed as though I'd found where everyone was hiding. All the kids had braved the cold and come out early to catch Anamanaguchi with Extreme Animals and Toronto's own Moon King . Cloaked in neon with smiles pasted on their faces, the crowd danced happily to the indie chiptunes (hyperlink not a condescension, I had personally never heard the word [...]
I don't have a strong opinion about Das Racist, every so often someting pops up from them that you can't deny the slacker brilliance. I grabbed Heems's recently released mixtape 'Nehru Jackets' on a whim and was pretty impressed. More than a few tracks are built around awesome chopped samples of Indian vocalists paired with some quite decent beats. As well, the mixtape has guest spots from the likes of Danny Brown, Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire, Das Racist's Kool A.D., Action Bronson, Childish Gambino and Despot. 'Nerhu Jackets' is retty good for a guy who broke onto [...]
Here's an earlier than usual post before this blog blacks-out for the day to protest PIPA & SOPA and to defend online freedom. Please ejoy this flashy fan-made video for Anamanaguchi's "Blackout City"
MySpace Who: Anamanaguchi What: New York-based, NES-powered chiptune champions probably best known for providing the 8-bit score to Scott Pilgrim Vs The World and for knowing most Game Genie codes off by heart. Why: Their debut album Dawn Metropolis came out back in 2009, but doesn't seem to be available to buy anywhere. They're going to tour anyways. When: Saturday, January 21, 2012 Where: Wrongbar in Toronto (19+) Who else: [...]
SXSW is just a little over two months away, and I'll be making my return in 2012 as a legitimately badged representative of SoundLand, the music festival I coordinate. (HOORAY!) Having taken two years off from South By and the better part of a year off from new music in general, it's no surprise that the first three rounds of announced acts playing the music portion of the fest are chock full of a shitload of unfamiliar names. So I'm checkin' 'em out, one by one. Let's dive in, shall we? ------------------- [...]
photos by Andrew St. Clair "Shit is about to get pretty real @sheastadiumbk #trippplenippple" - Titus Andronicus Trippple Nippples played the last of the few NYC shows they scheduled over the past two weeks while visiting from Tokyo, at Shea Stadium in Brooklyn on Wednesday night. They were sporting a very similar look to what they wore on New Year's Eve at 285 [...]
Here's a roundup of some awesome Christmas songs: "Fairytale Of New York" by The Pogues with Kirsty MacColl From A Charlie Brown Christmas , "Christmas Time is Here" From Christmas in the Stars: Star Wars Christmas Album, "R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas" Anamanaguchi's cover of "All I Want 4 Xmas Is U" by Mariah Carey
![[EVENT] Hyundai Re:Mix Labs Roundup: Anamanaguchi, Cut Chemist, & Jason Reitman](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3922791_lg.jpg)
♫ Anamanaguchi - Airbrushed (RAC Remix) Whew. What a busy week! Hyundai's Re:Mix lab was a wild success and kept my evening full and free. The best way to be. Friday night was a ripping live set from Anamanaguchi and their 2 on-stage Nintendo consoles (above). After people reassembled their faces from the sonic assault it was a fine evening of admiring art in both the made and being-made forms. Instragram helped with the capture of the guy on [...]
