Vancouver based Mac DeMarco , is an interesting find. He describes his sound as 'jizz jazz' although his slow motion rock n' roll jangles are probably better described as 'mogadon Elvis trips' . There's also a bit of a Bobby Conn influence going on too. DeMarco ’s debut solo album Rock And Roll Night Club got some great reviews back in April and the lead track now has a video to go with it - check [...]

With a career dating back to the mid '90's Conn is always bringing something distinctive, flashy, and aggressive. His latest album, Macaroni , drops on May 1st and it blends style after style while addressing issues of greed, war, growing up in the 80's and politics. You can catch Bobby Conn at Empty Bottle on May 25th. MP3 : Bobby Conn "Underground Vktm"

Flip over the innocent, twee looking cover of this latest album by Chicago's glam/funk/indie lunatic Bobby Conn and you'll find pictures of fighter planes, guns and explosions; scenes of war. And that's Conn in a nutshell: daft, contradictory, political, loveable and hateable in equal measure. He might as well be wearing a spinning bow tie with "I'm mad, me!" scrawled across it whilst giving you a very stern look. "It's a record for the Occupy generation" claims the press release. No it's not, it's a record made by a talented man who's trying to be wacky, [...]

Grande burlão, pequeno génio, weirdo assumido. Roberto 'Bobby' Conn é uma das personagens mais hilariantes de das últimas duas décadas e nele cabem estas e outras definições, consoante cada cabeça. Um ilusionista pop e, acima de tudo, cultivador kitsch, responsável pelo brilhante vídeo de Never Get Ahead, ainda hoje uma memória de culto para toda uma geração que seguiu de perto programas como o 120 Minutes ou Alternative Nation num tempo remoto em que a Mtv se dedicava à divulgação musical. Mas é neste tempo presente que Conn traz mais uma fornada de hinos inesperados. [...]

The veteran Chicago indie iconoclast Bobby Conn will release the new album Macaroni in March. Below, check out a viciously catchy nyah-nyah jam called "Underground Vktm," a very characteristic bit of scene-mockery from this man. Read More...

'Winners' is my favourite track from Bobby Conn ’s 2001 album The Golden Age . It's a wonderful pop song, combining Carribean sounds with a heartbreakingly electric feel, building throughout until it reaches a mesmerizing vocal-organ conclusion. This is a song that is timeless in it’s beauty... This new Blackbird Blackbird song ‘Passions’ is there best yet. A wonderfully melodic summer infused jam that carries like a wave. It's not often one song can be described as having Tropicalia, Singer Songwriter and Chillwave influences, but 'Passions' has them all and [...]

Fire Records ha recentemente ristampato due classici di Bobby Conn, sicuramente i suoi due album più belli, l'omonimo album di debutto e il successivo Rise Up, rimasterizzati da Fire e resi disponibili in versione Cd e vinile. Questo ha anticipato il lavoro che Bobby, insieme ai suoi The Burglars sta facendo per un nuovo album intitolato Macaroni in forma del tutto provvisoria e che uscirà per Fire Records durante il 2011, quello che è sicuro è che i brani nuovi ci sono, e sono stati eseguiti durante una serie di apparizioni live in Germania (Faust's Avant-garde Festival). Bobby Conn ha [...]

Stretch out for this one, people. If you're up for a multi-sectioned tour through the wasted American mindscape strung out on fables of wealth and success, Bobby Conn will happily take you there. Don't settle too deep into the spooky cabaret intro or gentle guitar picking that follows because some serious glam histrionics await on the other side of the 3:30 mark. Conceptually incoherent, but in a fine way. People complain that Bobby Conn is bombastic and goes for easy sociopolitical sarcasm when a bunch less self-righteousness would serve him better. They're [...]

“Things are good in Babylon, yeah the rich still get it on But now they've got to build up a fence to protect their decadence and every year they build a little higher, an extra tile in the wire but I can't help you baby when the empire falls” It's hard to see Bobby Conn as a modern day prophet, but the opening lines in the former Chicago punk's second full-length release Rise Up! appear to indicate a chronicle of our times. Originally released in 1998, after his eponymous debut, [...]
