... und bevor das Jahr 2009 schon wieder zu weit fortgeschritten ist und wir schon wieder einen Trend verschlafen haben, weise ich euch noch eben auf die Trend-Tipps im taz-Popblog hin, die letzte Woche gepostet wurden. Denn es sind jede Menge großartiger neuer Bands dabei. Besondere Tipps von mir sind dabei Passion Pit (als neue MGMT ), Blikk Fang (als Nebenprojekt des Jahres), Slow Club (als Singer/Songwriter-Newcomer ) sowie die im gleichen Artikel erwähnten Skint & Demoralized (die nebenbei ein wunderschönes CD-Cover haben). Außerdem vorgestellt wurden neue Gitarrenbands aus UK und [...]

Das Musikjahr 2008 ist abgehakt. Wir sagen euch, worauf ihr euch 2009 gefasst machen dürft. Muse - TBA Wie lange die Auszeit von Muse schon dauert, erfährt man exemplarisch, wenn man ihre Webseite http://www.muse.mu/ ansteuern möchte. Dort wird man dann gebeten, den Flash-Player 8 zu installieren. Mittlerweile surft der geneigte User mit der Version 10. News über ein neues Muse-Album gibts auf der Websteite darum natürlich auch keine. In einem Chat mit Fans haben Muse indes zu Protokoll gegeben, dass sie ihr nächstes [...]
A question for Mr. Kevin Barnes, the genius behind Of Montreal : do you ever sleep? I mean based on your recent interview with Rolling Stone , it doesn't look like it. During some downtime from his currently ongoing worldwide tour, the Of Montreal frontman shared his New Years resolutions with the music outlet. Among them? Oh, just a couple new albums, more touring, and a DVD release.. Yes, Barnes has already begun work on the recently released Skeletal Lamping , "I'm slowly putting together [...]
Blikk Fang es, para los que no los conozcan, el proyecto alternativo que realizarán Andrew VanWyngarden de MGMT y Kevin Barnes de Of Montreal. El grupo está terminando los detalles para comenzar a grabar y ahora se acercaron a Kanye West y Elliot Smith para que los ayude a realizar la grabación del álbum. De estas dos jóvenes mentes creativas probablemente no salgan más que cosas que nos dejarán con la boca abierta, espero no equivocarme. Ahora Barnes le dijo a la revista Rolling Stone que [...]
Blikk Fang will be the name of the super-side project of Andrew VanWyngarden from MGMT and Kevin Barnes from Of Montreal. The two stars plan to get together to record sometime next year once their schedules are free'd up. Kevin Barnes said that " We've actually created about 20 minutes of music, but that was the early part of last year. We've both been travelling like crazy so it's hard to get together. The stuff we've done so far is sort of a soulful prog. It's probably gonna [...]
What an incredible match up. Kevin Barnes, frontman from of Montreal, and Andrew Vanwyngarden, lead singer of MGMT, are going to take psychedelic rock to a new level. Their upcoming side project, Blikk Fang, is planing to head into the studio in early 2009. The two met while touring together in 2005 and 2007. According to a recent Rolling Stone interview with Kevin Barnes, their debut LP is "probably gonna be a pretty schizophrenic, crazy album". Should we expect anything else from these two? They are planning to enlist the skills of producer Jon Brion, who [...]
Spulciando le classifiche di fine anno, soprattutto quelle degli indie blog, fra i nomi che troviamo più spesso nelle prime posizioni ci sono MGMT e Of Montreal . Pensate quindi se due gruppi del genere dovessero collaborare cosa potrebbe venirne fuori: nemmeno il tempo di pensarlo ed ecco il progetto Blikk Fang, collaborazione tra Andrew VanWyngarden dei MGMT e Kevin Barnes dei Montreal (nella foto). Il duo, che a dir la verità si è formato questa primavera ed ha già messo online del materiale, ha deciso di ufficializzare la collaborazione e di produrre un vero [...]
LOLs via TPPI, for one, can vouch for this special cheat sheet. It definitely works. Now, I won't get into the specifics of my experience, but just trust me.While you're testing this baby out, here are s'more random tunes for everybody. 1Blikk Fang - (Just A Little) Judas Tonic ALT 2Outkast - B.O.B. (Diplo Remix) ALT 3Holy Fuck [...]
Hey, listen to this: "All Remote And No Control" (box.net mp3) by Eric Avery Some brief bio deets: Eric Avery is probably best know as the bassist for Jane's Addiction . After Jane's, along with Dave Navarro he recorded the Deconstruction album (which is freaking amazing... get it used here ). Since then he has worked with Garbage , Smashing Pumpkins , and (gulp) Alanis Morissette . He tried out for Metallica (but wasn't picked), and was invited [...]
MGMT's Andrew Van Wyngarden and of Montreal's Kevin Barnes have collaborated to form a new side project called Blikk Fang. The duo began recording after their bands toured together earlier this year and their album is scheduled to drop in August. In the meantime, they've released two tracks below ...
(photo by Pitchfork) One part Of Montreal, one part MGMT , all parts ridiculously hype-worthy. If there were a matrix of overused adjectives for soon-to-be "it" bands, it'd say something about how this new creation by two of the most prominent (sort of...MGMT is still not up to spec with Of Montreal ) figures in dreamy, [insert synonym for "hallucinatory" or "epic"] pop music may have Frankenstein-ed their way into the biggest record expectancy in 2009. Maybe. We would say something repetitive like "watch out for this band", but we think you [...]
