Come Party With "Beasts!" In Georgetown Saturday! read more

The third annual Transmission Festival . Yeah! Transmission is my favourite music festival. It's a place to see some really excellent breaking bands under the best possible circumstances. The sound is amazing, and the staging and lighting are gorgeous. Betty Bonifassi of Beast My favourite show was Montreal's Beast . They are probably best known for Betty [...]

A girl was berrating me, in a thick French accent that seemed to me to border on parody, for putting in earplugs. "You cannot wear zose for BEAST ! You must hear her voice pure." I tried to explain the ammount of shows I go to and how I already have ringing in my ears and don't need it to be any louder. She accepted my answer but continued her enthusiasm about BEAST singer Betty Bonifassi. "My English eez not so good but she has the best fucking voice you ever going to hear!" I don't know if it [...]

Πολύ περίεργο το σημερινό μας τραγούδι. Ένα δολοφονικό μπάσο στην εισαγωγή, ένα εντελώς Τζεημσμποντικό μοτίβο στη συνέχεια, και μια φωνή.. που θα σε κάνει να ψάξεις αρκετά για να διαψεύσεις την πληροφορία ότι πρόκειται για τη μυστηριώδη κοπέλα της φωτογραφίας, κι όχι για κάποι ον επίδοξο μιμητή αυτής της συγκλονιστικής φωνής [μπορεί να'ναι εντελώς υπερβολική και τραβηγμένη από τα μαλλιά η σύγκριση αλλά είμαι σίγουρος ότι θα απολαύσετε το ανατριχιαστικό απόσπασμα από το φιλμ του Lynch ]. Όλα τα παραπάνω, παρά την έλλειψη ενός πιασάρικου ρεφρέν, θα σε κάνουν να θέλεις να [...]

Who : Beast from Montreal. What : I've been waiting for this track to post and now its here! (thanks Kat). Check out the first offering of Montreal's Beast , an experimental union between the powerful and sensual voice of Beatrice Bonifassi (the voice of Champion and one from The Triplets of Belleville ) and the dirty beats of composer and drummer Jean-Phi Goncalves (from Plaster who we dig here). In short, the duo of Betty and Jean-Phi. The record [...]

Shook blev født i 1986 og fandt som ung knægt et par mystiske solbriller i skovbunden. Det var ikke før et par år senere, at han valgte at prøve dem. Tilsyneladende bevirkede det at et eller andet form for udyr eller bæst, kom tilbage for at få sine solbriller. Nu er den eneste måde at de kan komme overens, tilsyneladende, at lave musik sammen. Og ja, det lyder meget underligt, men musikken som Beast og Shook tilsammen laver, er i hvert fald super sprød og frisk. Selv nævner de at [...]
Je transpose ici le concept utilisé par l'industrie du cinéma lorsqu'elle vous escroque encule vend ses films minables sur format dvd dans un boitier ridiculement cheap en vous faisant miroiter un 8h d'extra features tout simplement renversant et je me permets moi aussi ce moment de fantaisie où je ferai une confidence sur le making [...]

The mysterious members of Akron's Breast: Cerberus, Yeti, Cthulu, and Mothra may be more recognizable by their human names of Steve Clements (keys), Adam Goldman (drums), Matt Haas (bass), and Scott Hartlaub (guitar). If neither Matt Haas nor Mothra ring a bell, then I can also tell you that the members of Beast play in or have played in nearly every band from the Akron/Kent scene including, but not limited to, Six Parts Seven, Houseguest, Goodmorning Valentine, Trouble Books, and Goodbye Ohio. Now, even if you have seen them around town in their other bands, I can all but guarantee [...]
