Proceeds going to The Ottawa Food Bank. Here were the results [...]

Besides the " Super Moon " that happened on May 5, 2012. There was a great show that took place at Zaphod Beeblebrox. Playing at the show: • Eight And A Half • The Gallop • Eraserheads I was excited since I heard the album from Eight And A Half and was curious [...]

Another jam packed October 27, 2011. After checking out Babes4Breast Benefit Concert. I headed to the Live Lounge to see The Balconies , Birthday Boys and The Gallop play. Wanted to support The Balconies when they return for a homecoming show of Ottawa! The show started off with Ottawa's The Gallop. I haven't seen them live in awhile. Noticed they have two new members. One being Phillipe Charbonneau who plays in various bands [...]

Brooklyn's The Loom's debut album "Teeth" is coming out November 1st on Crossbill Records and their single "For The Hooves That Gallop, and the Heels That March" has this pretty video that was premiered on NPR. It's visually stunning and the song is an eerie folk track with a sultry sax melody, jazz percussion that moves the the falsetto group vocals like a spoon through molasses, and an accosting and powerful driving guitar. I'm not sure I entirely understand the concept for the video, but try to watch it and just absorb beauty. Tour dates for these guys below the break. [...]

![David little g – Goldilocks [Music Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3702301_lg.jpg)
David is wearing the red plaid shirt. In somewhat of the same themes of the music video directed by david little g ( The Gallop ). But in a different music spectrum which is in the indie rock category. The music video for Goldilocks came out in August. So why not post this video and here is quote from it. Presented here is a visionary masterpiece of the 'One take' variety, no expense spared. I am going to be nitpicky and mentioned a [...]

Gallops - Eukodol Rather than, let's say, listening to something a lil' more soothing or delicate, what better way to deal with this bullshit insomnia than to rock the newish Gallops EP? ...and do so real loud? Yes, please! You might remember us blurbin' about these talented gents last summer , but just in case you don't, believe us when we say it - soothing and delicate, this ain't .

I have almost posted this track and allllmost thrown it into mixes etc... a bazillion times... well today's the day. This track is about a year old give or take, but I just read that cooler then thou( and everyone really) Kitsune Maison is throwing an edit of this Welsh banger on it upcoming compilation numero 11. ..so it came back to mind. Sharing Is caring.. unless you hate this ..in which case... whatevs! This track just rages electro style , but... there wasn't a whole lot else I heard from Gallops that I [...]
Unfortunately due to some severe hangovers, we missed Odd Future's set on the Sunday, but apart from that this year's crawl was one of the best in years.

Gildas Loaec knows a thing or two about dance music. His music label, Kitsuné , has been the jumping off point to success for the likes of TGTF favourites La Roux , Delphic and Two Door Cinema Club. This month, Kitsuné will release their latest music compilation - their 11th - named 'The Indie-Dance Issue'. When asked about how this came about, Loaec says, "because I find this new CD is taking us yet one more step towards maturity. We're perceived as a club label when really we've [...]

Celebrating a digital approach of post-rock, the young band Gallops from Wrexham in the UK, are already the new BBC Radio 1 darlings and are often compared to Warp band Battles or their compatriots Foals ! Their track "Miami Spider" (PONCIAU edit) is available on the new compilation Kitsuné Maison 11 – The Indie Dance [...]

The Parisian label Kitsuné is back with a new compilation - the eleventh - called The Indie Dance Issue. Consisting of 16 pieces (a bit shorter than what we are accustomed to, since the last album consisted of 25 tracks spread over two discs) the compilation proves to be very eclectic. On this disc you can find the Kitsuné muses: Housse de Racket, Is Tropical, Logo or realize Guards and pieces of excellent craftsmanship of artists invited for the occasion; Creep or The Magician , for [...]

Before Kitsune records release their latest compilation, The Indie-Dance Issue, they are giving away away one of the featured tracks

Wrexham-based electro post-rock four-piece Gallops have stuck their upcoming single, due to be released through Holy Roar and Blood and Biscuits on May 23, up onto bandcamp for streaming. Their self-titled debut EP was good (read me waxing lyrical about it over on The 405 here ) but this new material could be another step up for the band. Listen below.

MOOOOR-ning! Having kicked off our own monthly series of gigs this weekend just, with an excellent gig at the Wee Red Bar, I feel very much ready to start properly going to gigs again, after an extremely quiet January. It was an excellent night actually, so a massive thank you to everyone who came out, and thanks a lot to the bands as well, who all made an effort to bring their friends down, which as a new promoter is something I am extremely grateful for. We've got something like five more gigs in the [...]
