As a big fan of the Dischord label and many of their artists it makes me feel awful to have been quite so excited about reviewing their latest release only to find that I dislike it quite so much. I'm completely aware that Dischord only put out DC bands, and that those bands won't all have a classic DC hardcore sound, but I get the feeling that this lo-fi synth pop album only got a release because of Edie Sedgwick aka Justin Moyer's connections with the label through his previous efforts with El Guapo and Antelope.

Last year, the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh set out to find musical accompaniment for 13 of the artist's most famous screen tests (including Nico, Lou Reed, Edie Sedgwick). They chose indie poppers Dean & Britta to provide an orchestral illustration to the roughly hour and a half of black and white films. The result a handful of covers and remixes called 13 Most Beautiful: Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests . This song from the album, I'll Keep It With Mine, might sound familiar to you- it was originally written by Bob Dylan and popularized by [...]
Dean and Britta put on a beautiful show at Anthology. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for contests, MP3s, and links that don't make it onto the blog.
It's been nearly a year since Jess Matthews emerged with Fond Regards , the debut EP from her solo project, America Hearts . Simple and catchy, the EP introduced us to Jess' short and sweet songwriting, and familiarized us to her stepping out from behind the drum kit — the role she fulfills as a member of both Edie Sedgwick and Gestures. With Matthews leading on guitar and vocals, her America Hearts band is comprised of familiar D.C. music veterans, including Justin Moyer ( Edie Sedgwick , Antelope) currently on bass; Mark Cisneros (Medications, Gestures) on [...]

Andy Warhol remains one of the most important artists of the 20th century for his body of work, his influence on art and commerce, and his cultural philosophies, giving a unique insight into how the idea of celebrity both real and perceived could (and ultimately would) drive American culture. While so ubiquitous today, themes such as [...]
MP3: Edie Sedgwick - Sissy Spacek The very concept of Edie Sedgwick is one that deserves ample discussion. To save some precious time, here are a few words on the subject from our good friend Greg: "DC's Edie Sedgwick is a unique performer that you might say bears little in common with his namesake. The original Sedgwick was a socialite actress most recognized for starring in Andy Warhol films. The Sedgwick in question purports to be the original's transgendered reincarnation and is signed, interestingly enough, to legendary Dischord [...]
Gimme some Action (Beat) A giudicare da questa foto, temo che qualsiasi disco proveremo a mettere dopo il concerto degli Action Beat di questa sera al Locomotiv Club , io e Francesco nel ruolo dei dj faremo la figura dei chierichetti.

The McGuire Theater at the Walker Art Center was turned into a mini-Factory on Saturday night, as 13 of Andy Warhol's Screen Tests were shown to the full-house (and then some) audience, accompanied by the Velvet Underground-like backing music of Dean & Britta. It was a sublime evening all around, complete with a pre-show guided tour of the marvelous Elizabeth Peyton exhibition Live Forever that only furthered the examination into the idea of celebrity and pop culture that would continue on through the Screen Tests . The Screen Tests are a [...]
