It was an exciting time when we realised 'Darwin Deez and Friends' wasn't Darwin Deez and some of his friends, but the band Friends. Returning to our shores this spring, Samantha Urbani and co. will be performing material from their 2012 debut 'Manifest!', supporting Darwin Deez at McClusky's in Kingston for a very special DIY Presents and New Slang date. The two acts will be playing the venue on 18th July, from 9pm 'til 2pm, with tickets just 7 each.

We gave you the Is Tropical remix of You Can't Be My Girl a while ago, but somehow the video got forgotten. Shame on us cos it was directed by one of our fave directors Keith Schofield. Darwin Deez has the best 'photobombing' skills ever ;)]]> text/html 2013-05-01T18:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4926434/darwin-deez-sets-north-american-tour/

In a Moveable Feast, Ernest Hemingway says Since I had started to break down all my writing and get rid of all facility and try to make instead of describe, writing had been wonderful to do. I am not Hemingway (in case there were any doubts). But I am going to do my best to follow his advice to say what is true, without reverting to adjectives/metaphors/compariso n, to epitomize Darwin Deez . He is tall in a two-dimensional way. He sings feelings but not in a serious manner. He inspires moustaches. He exudes fun. He [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-09T12:55:38+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4880498/festival-coverage-live-at-leeds/

Darwin Deez comes to DC from Asheville via NYC via Wesleyan University, where he was a classmate of the guys from MGMT, the lead singer of Francis and the Lights, the guys in Yeasayer, the guys in Bear Hands, the guys in Das Racist, etc. (Can you imagine the house parties that were going on in those years at Wesleyan? You could see a Yeasayer/MGMT/Darwin Deez triple billing in front of 12 people in someone's basement. Tickets would cost $0 unless you didn't want to be a jerk and contributed to the keg fund.) Deez plays smart indie [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-04T16:59:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4870662/cheers-elephant-opening-for-darwin-deez-at-fuc-march-4/
Cheers Elephant are back in their old stomping grounds after an extensive national tour and stop at SXSW. Their most recent release Like Wind Blows Fire is rock through rose-colored glasses - the same rosy pink that dominates the LP's cover art. The pop-rock outfit keeps their sound relatively simple and put together. It's the effects-laden guitar, played by Jordan Del Rosario, which gives them their psychedelic feel. Combine this with a tight drum kick by Travelin' Matt, deep bass lines from Robert Kingsley, and dreamy, low-key vocals by Derek Krzywicki, making for [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-04T16:55:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4870645/darwin-deez-and-caged-animals-played-bowery-ballroom-pics/

Indie rockers Darwin Deez play the First Unitarian Church tonight. The Asheville, North Carolina band formed in New York City in 2009, feeling at home at the Sidewalk Cafe, a launching pad for off-beat pop acts including Kimya Dawson and Adam Green. The band released their self-titled debut of upbeat, dance-along tracks shortly after in ...

Five of the bands I am most looking forward to at Live At Leeds, the city music festival taking place over May Bank Holidayfor the price of what, 4 pints in London? 1975 Huw Stevens, Zane Lowe and Fearne Cotton all love The City by 1975 , and I am inclined to agree that as upbeat summer struts go, its not at all bad.Now lets find some summer.
