Brooklyn electro rockers Holy Ghost have been creating a buzz for quite some time now, remixing the likes of LCD Soundsystem and Mark Ronson . It's recently been confirmed that the electronic duo's debut record is coming out this April. We now have the first taste of the self titled effort, the synth boisterous "Do It Again," which sounds like !!! meets LCD Soundsystem (who they've been recently touring with) with a disco pop twist. Continue reading: MP3: Holy Ghost! - "Do It Again" Subscribe to the [...]
This is the most weirdly wild and wonderful song I, and you, may hear all week. Poncho takes us to a glitchily rad dance floor with their debut single, D.I.S.C.O. , and they enlist the vocals of Shannon Funchess , who keeps being noted as being part of !!! (um, hello 2007) , but whom we know and love form her solo work, along with that whole Light Asylum slice of slickness. Regardless, UHHHNNNN [...]
Big, brooding and bold-faced remix here from Rub N' Tug of one of Chk Chk Chk's many jamz. RIP Jerry Fuchs ...damn what a beast he was on the drum kit. !!! - HELLO? IS THIS THING ON? (RUB N' TUG REMIX)
Denton, a town about 30 miles north of Dallas, is the home of the musically talented students who attend (or drop out of) the University of North Texas. That being said, it has become a mini hub of great music. With the sad disappearance of Fry Street Fair in Denton, it was inevitable for something to pop up in it's place. Here is where 35 Conferette festival came in 3 years ago. 35C fest is the weekend before Austin's SXSW, March 10-13. Some of the bands scheduled to perform: Big Boi, Damien Jurado, Dr Dog, Gayngs, !!!, Local Natives, [...]
Quase a finalizar o ano, fica por cá a lista de alguns álbuns/EPs que sinceramente... mais valia não terem cumprido o contrato com as respectivas editoras. Alguns são mesmo *maus*. Ponto. Outros, que são a maioria, revelaram-se uma decepção, sobretudo porque são de bandas com muito bom nome na praça musical e, para espanto meu, (!!) não imaginaria que tal pudesse ocorrer. Atenção que esta lista
Cómo melómanos de larga data reinvidicamos las tan denostadas listas de fin de año. Porque pese a todos sus defectos sí funcionan en el objetivo de resumir lo que fue la temporada. Qué no estemos de acuerdo en la elección y orden es otro asunto. Y tenemos más que claro que se nos han pasado 45 discos por el lado que esperemos reconocer y apreciar en un futuro cercano, incluyendo algunos editados tan encima de la fecha de cierre que no pudimos darles el tiempo necesario. Cada año que pasa el acceso a discos es tan brutalmente abierto [...]

New Years (and mainly Christmas) are fast approaching and the party anticipation is greatly brewing. Thankfully there are two amazing parties in Melbourne that would suffice for those who want a good time. For New Years eve, DJ Harvey is playing at the House de Frost which will be a great way to bring in the New Year. I know there is so much hype and let-down with the NYE kind of thing but this party is a fine exception. I'm pretty sure it is close to selling out so if you haven't got a ticket, I urge you to [...]
!!! at Capitol Hill Block Party ::: Photo Josh Lovseth Prior to Block Party I was only ephemerally aware of !!! in that they had a goofy name. Thus I would have never guessed that they'd make my list of Block Party favorites, or that aside from Macklemore they would be the ones to get the [...]
I LOVE music videos. I enjoy when two senses can combine to create something new: better than the two parts. I prefer videos that have music in them. I'm tired of Stop-Motion. I want to understand them without needing sixteen mixtures of illegal substances. I'd like them to be less than 10 minutes. I'd like [...]
The 2011 Ultra Music Festival has a tall task ahead: it must compete against not one, but two similar electro-oriented events in the same city during the same month . Hell, one's even taking place the same day. So the Miami, FL based festival has tapped heavy guns like The Chemical Brothers, Tiësto, deadmau5, David Guetta, Carl Cox, and Empire of the Sun to head its 2011 version, which is set to take place from March 25-27. Indie heavyweights Cut Copy, Crystal Castles, Klaxons, !!!, Chromeo, and Royksoop are also playing, as are electro favorites [...]
Filed under: Video , The Hit List Ever since OK Go revitalized the music video with their dance of the treadmills, it's become a race to see who will become the next viral rock stars. Most of this year's most intriguing offerings (with a couple exceptions) achieved their greatness through visual innovation, whether via awesome computer-generated special effects or lo-tech trompe [...]
I have heard several people complain about this phenomenon of "lo-fi" artists. Why hide songwriting under layers of incoherence, they usually ask, if the songwriting is allegedly good? Being one of the more popular lo-fi examples, Ariel Pink is one of the first examples they use. I then usually ask if them if they have [...]

Really been diggin' the new Teengirl Fantasy record- 7AM -the past few months. Here's a new video for their song "Dancing In Slow Motion" , which features Shannon Funchess on vocals. You might recall her soulful voice from the last two !!! records. She's also a local lady (I think). She bomb. . The video is appropriate for the Amsterdam-via-Ohio duo, whose blissed-out 80s discotronic haze evokes talking heads and bright lights. It almost feels like Funchess [...]
