Se os Atoms For Peace so o supergrupo no masculino (Thom Yorke, Nigel Godrich, Flea dos Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joey Waronker e Mauro Refosco), as Girl Crisis so o reflexo feminino. Imaginem s uma banda formada por Caroline Polachek dos Chairlift,Erika Spring dos Au Revoir Simone,Elizabeth Harper dos Class Actress,Jane Herships das TEEN, entre outras senhoras de talento de Brooklyn e arredores. Parece bom demais, mas verdade. O colectivo planeia lanar duas covers de msicas por ano e lan-las atravs do seu canal de Youtube em filmes gloriosamente captados em [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-08T16:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4939242/girl-crisis-walk-like-an-egyptian-the-bangles-cover/
Girl Crisis gathers together twice a year to film a cover on vintage 8MM film. Featuring members of Chairlift, Class Actress, Au Revoir Simone and TEEN, the 11-piece all-female Brooklyn supergroup convened most recently to record their own version of the Bangles classic, "Walk Like An Egyptian."

Girl Crisis is an all-female, Brooklyn supergroup comprised of Chairlift' s Caroline Polachek, Au Revoir Simone' s Erika Spring, Class Actress' Elizabeth Harper, TEEN' s Jane Herships, and many other talented ladies from around the New York City borough. The collective are in the business of issuing two covers each year via YouTube (in 8MM-film, as is the tradition), taking on male songs in the summer and female ones in the spring. In the past, they've tackled hits by Nirvana, Black Sabbath, and Taylor Dayne. Here's their latest offering, star-studded bunch cover The Bangles' [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-06T19:43:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4935046/girl-crisis-walk-like-an-egyptian-the-bangles-cover/
As you may remember, Girl Crisis is the Greenpoint supergroup of Chairlift's Caroline Polachek, Class Actress's Elizabeth Harper, Au Revoir Simone's Erika Spring, et al, whose rules are many (female-only, YouTube-only, Super 8MM-film only, covers-only) and output is little (two covers a year; female in the spring, male in the summer). Here today, a customarily glassy take on the Bangles' spritely " Walk Like An Egyptian ." Behold: Read More...]]> text/html 2013-03-29T14:29:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4859989/empress-of-hat-trick/

There's nothing worse than being really stoned and with a bunch of really drunk people and feeling like no one around you is at all on your page. Last night, I went out with the intention of having a great time at a club I like and found myself completely out of place. "Does anybody out there feel like I do, does anybody out there, feel like me-ee?" Unable to carry a conversation over the ruckus and unable to find a groove between all the Butabi [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-15T05:55:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4730389/non-2012-discoveries-from-2012/
Every year I find a plethora of music that would fit perfectly on my year end music lists. Unfortunately, a large majority of the music I discover is from years before and therefore disqualified from my arbitrary year end list making rules. That's why I've decided to make a list of the favorite artists and songs I discovered last year whose music was actually released previous to 2012. There can only be so many Rodriguez's out there, so the majority of my list consists of bands from the past few years who forever reason [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-07T16:56:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4706008/class-actress-and-erika-spring-playing-free-nyc-show-this/

A few weeks ago, Chicago's Only Children dropped an EP with two edits, "Falling" and Whatever Makes U", on Razor-N-Tape, a solid release that everybody seems to love. Needless to say, these edits (already posted here ) has been on repeat in our car stereo. To thank everyone for their incredible support, Only Children are giving away the fine "Critical Captions" remix of The Hood Internet's "Critical Captions", which features Class Actress on vocals.
