[Re-Introducing] – Electrelane

Electrelane 'In Berlin'
Photo © Lucy Rox There is some music that you distinctly remember hearing for the first time in your life. I was first introduced to Electrelane during the bitterly cold, snowy Chicago Winter of 2004. I was walking past my roommate's bedroom, where he was listening to their sophomore album "The Power Out" on his record player. Since then, their music has accompanied me during various journies (both small and large) throughout my life, and continues to be a major source of inspiration for many [...]

The Jesus & Mary Chain's randomly-routed reunion tour finally hits Canada. Probably.

The Jesus & Mary Chain's randomly-routed reunion tour finally hits Canada. Probably. Beats Per Minute Most tours follow some sort of logical routing anchored around major markets, festivals, what have you. Reunion tours are usually even moreso, what with their main motivation - or at least one of them - being to maximize revenue rather than build audiences (unless of course you're the Pixies, in which case your motivation is to play ever single market ever). So it's been equally frustrating and exciting to try and figure out what The Jesus & Mary Chain would do next. After calling it a day following 19982s [...]

[Introducing] – Frànçois And The Atlas Mountains

[Introducing] – Frànçois And The Atlas Mountains Tweet As the story goes, when Frànçois Marry arrived in Bristol, England from France in 2003, he wrote a note accompanied by a picture asking for people to make music together with, taped it in his window, then proceeded to check out local car boot sales for instruments. Starting out with a hodgepodge of found instruments (including a keyboard he played with his foot), Frànçois began playing live in Bristol in early 2004. 2005 - 2007 saw him collaborating with various local [...]

[Ones To Watch] – Introducing – Kool Thing

[Ones To Watch] – Introducing – Kool Thing Tweet The duo known as Kool Thing , made up of Julie Chance and Jon Dark, met at at one of Dark's DJ events in Paris in 2010. Quickly noticing a kindred musical taste, the pair began to share records and discuss musical ideas. Julie, (from Dublin, Ireland) and Jon (from Sydney, Australia) soon started organizing a move to Berlin, where they sat down to put their vision to reality. Kool Thing brings to life the jewel-toned hours of night that [...]

I ONLY ALWAYS THINK

Fense's Radio Show: October 21, 2011

Fense's Radio Show: October 21, 2011 I figured with my previous show being devoted to songs that remind me of sleep, this one would be the opposite. After a few bouts of standard indie rock, things got thick and loud. A shout out to my buddy Brett, for tuning in from Sedro-Woolley. Next time I'll have to add Tullycraft to the list in honor of how we met. The show began with a song off one of my desert island top 5 albums, and ended with a track that's nearly thirty years old. [...]

For The Actor Mix

For The Actor Mix "I mean, look at me— I'm an actor. An actor, for crying out loud. You know how much rejection I face every day? But in this business of show, you have to have the heart of an angel and the hide... of an elephant." Words of wisdom from the perennial actor / never-nude, Tobias Funke. Yes, not everyone's cut out to be a a DeNiro, or a Regis, or a Pinkett-Smith, but there are a select few actors & actresses that have reached the pantheon of greatness, which is, of course, being memorialized in song. Such [...]

Women made the electric light

Women made the electric light Electrelane. Such a fun band name to say out loud. It reminds me of when James Brown sang "man made the electric light!" and it sounded like "electrolyte". It may be a man's world, but it wouldn't be nothin' without the ladies of Electrelane. Or so I might say by way of clumsy segue. At any rate, here's a peppy little groover. Electrelane - On Parade

Toadcast #189 – The Comacast

Toadcast #189 – The Comacast Comacast? Yes, because of the imminent onset of a post-Festival coma. After trying to juggle two gigs of my own, two gigs I wanted to attend, the Antifolk-off and the visit of a good friend I haven't seen in a couple of years and the Retreat Festival this weekend I think I am now ready to officially declare August over and collapse into a somnolent stupour. In short, I need to sleep. A lot. Mrs. Toad came back from a ten-day holiday last night as well, and that always restores a sense of equilibrium. [...]

Daily Randomness

Silversun Pickups - "Lazy Eye" (Single Edit Version)
Let's go back in time: This is a new segment in the Daily Randomness series, where I'll post some not-so-new songs that I recently discovered or am listening to again. Just because. Garish: "Im Ärmel Meiner Linken Hand" "Im Ärmel Meiner Linken Hand" is one of those lovable happy songs that I can play over and over again. And it has a cute video to boot. Hailing from Austria, Garish [...]

Watch: Black Cab Sessions @ Field Day 2011

Watch: Black Cab Sessions @ Field Day 2011 The Black Cab Sessions are back, you know the amazing acoustic performances with the band crammed all in the back seat of an old classic England style cab while driving down the streets of the big London town? Well, today they capture two great performances, the first with Electrelane (above) and Givers (below) at Field Day 2011. Electrelane

Electrelane - XOYO, London 16/08/11

Electrelane - XOYO, London 16/08/11 Photos by Sarah Dorman When most bands get back together after a time apart, you're worried. Dubious about the reasons they reunited and doubtful whether they can recapture what they once had. With Electrelane you were never in any doubt. They're too self-assured and too good to let a 3 and a half year break stop them being anything less than amazing. This sold out show at XOYO was the last in the series of shows they had announced when they got back together after their hiatus – and [...]

Field Day 2011: Coco's Roundup (Part 1)

Field Day 2011: Coco's Roundup (Part 1) Coming the day right after Underage Festival, Field Day is a similar festival, but for adults. I experienced far too many clashes at Field Day; as a result, I missed nearly 70% of the acts that I intended to see. Funnily enough, I also bumped into some sets by bands I've never heard of before. The first act I saw were S.C.U.M. I really dig what I've heard from them so far, and so I was anticipating their performance. Since they were playing one of the [...]

Tour North America? Veronica Falls don't mind if they do

Tour North America? Veronica Falls don't mind if they do Robin Silas Throwback-style pop is nothing new - sounding old is really kind of the point - but there's something special in the way English quartet Veronica Falls goes about it. It's like they've got a foot in 19702s New York, with no small amount of Velvet Underground goodness in the mix as well as echoes of their followers and the other in swinging 19602s London with the irresistible catchiness of the British invasion. Taken together and you've got a brew that's buoyant, yet somehow sinister and wholly memorable. Their set was [...]

Help! I Can't Stop Watching This Electrelane Video!

Electrelane
You guys, since this video for the Black Cab Sessions featuring a newly reformed Electrelane hit the internets last Friday, I may have watched it 50 times. At first, it was just because Electrelane is one of my favorite groups of the last decade and I'm excited about them ending their two-plus year hiatus, even if it's just to play some live shows over the summer. Then, it was because I was hooked on this acoustic version of "On Parade," an early cut off of 2004's The Power Out , and couldn't get [...]

Electrelane - Black Cab Session

Electrelane - Black Cab Session Facebook I didn't review Field Day, after giving a comprehensive preview of who I planned to see it didn't make much sense to repeat myself a few days after. There were naturally a few changes on the day (I missed Zola Jesus in her entirety :( and didn't catch Factory Floor) but I did pretty much what I planned. Overall summation is that it was a good day, a potentially great day with some minor and major teething problems. The main one being it was too damn busy after three o'clock in the afternoon. Everywhere was [...]
