Words by Brendan Halloween is a strange holiday, when you think about it. For kids, it's that magical day when you can ask your neighbors for candy and they have to give you some! (Fuck that guy who gave you raisins.) For teens, it's that awkward day where you're too old to trick or treat but you're secretly jealous of kids and their candy so you make mischief and mayhem, instead. (Amiright?) For college students, it's an excuse to get drunk and dress ruhl slutty and get away with it, or an excuse to [...]
shark tank - "red rain" (download) Shark Tank consists of Grand Buffet 's Lord Grunge , Baltimore rapper Height , Mickey Free and Brendan Richmond . This is their first "single," released for free via their Bandcamp page not long ago. This song has absolutely nothing to do with the Peter Gabriel song of the same name. I always find this song's chorus bouncing around in my head. Fans of any of the [...]
Ernest Gonzales creates the blend of electronic and live instrumentation that will swirl around the small folds of your frontal lobe . Here are his answers in this installment of q and also a . q: What is the last song you (really) heard? a: Literally the last song I heard was Ke$ha's Tik Tok (youtube) (ed. note: click at your own risk) which I have a love/hate relationship with but really really heard was Wind it Up (youtube) by Mark Pritchard ...that song [...]
The first in a three-part volley of last minute holiday cheer from our friends over at Media Potluck (the guys responsible for Audio Archaeology ). Stick around for their Media PODluck: A Christmas Evening Together podcast, and the debut of their 2009 Holiday Feast over the next few days. Christmas music is everywhere this time of year. Since the beginning of November, the air has [...]
grand buffet - "cool as hell" (download) Yes, these guys are "cool as hell." Not only are they some of the awesomest guys you'll ever meet, they also enlisted fellow Pittsburgh homie Girl Talk WAY before everyone jumped on that bandwagon. Grand Buffet usually take it upon themselves to handle their production duties, but for this track from their 2003 release Pittsburgh Hearts , the man himself, Gregg Gillis , produced this track for them, and what a banger it is. You really can't go [...]

Ok, as promised in the myspace bulletins I posted, the long overdue photos from Girl Talks Florida tour in Jan/Feb 2008. These are over a year old, folks! These full galleries have never been posted up before! ENJOY!! Photos from Girl Talk @ Firestone Saturday night will be online in a day or so :) GIRL TALK @ Firestone - Orlando 01.31.08 GIRL TALK @ Czar - Tampa 02.02.08 [...]
I got a late start because i stayed at the Star Bar too late the night before i left. After a long, boring drive down, I arrived and only had to wait in traffic for about 10 minutes. That was nice, but then i had to lug all of my camping stuff from the parking lot area to the campsite area, and that wasn't very fun. I did score a really sweet spot about a one minute walk to the front gate of the festival area. This fest is very small in scale, similar to Atlanta's Echo Project in size. [...]
Girl Talk came to Columbus, January 17th & 18th for a two-night party. Is "party" the right word? More like... two-night "all-out dance riot." Read on for second-hand experience. Grand Buffet (right) was the opening act. (Well... the only one worth mentioning. Hearts of Darknesses - with the exception of their drummer - were terrible, and the first act didn't even warrant me making a note of their name.) This hip-hop duo from Pittsburgh warmed up the crowd with their satire-heavy lyrics and their entertaining banter between songs - with rants on [...]
Tonight's not only the grand re-opening of the Bluebird (as the Firebird), it's also the return of Gil Mantera's Party Dream, by far the hippest thing Cleveland has going for it. (I speak from experie... Continue reading "Preview: Gil Mantera's Party Dream, Tonight at the Firebird!" >
Girl Talk shows are like 90 minute love songs to music freaks. In other words, SO MUCH FUN! Greg Gillis is my hero. The guy is making a living doing what he loves...basically playing other people's music as loudly as he can. Not that I don't think he is talented, because I think he is a mad genius. But to get to do what you love...and get paid for it? Such a beautiful thing. I had to endure what had to be two of THE worst opening bands in the history of live music. The first was [...]
Girl Talk 's Greg Gillis is an omnipresent musical being, existing in no set decade and keeping an eye out on just about every musician who's ever stepped up to the plate. Last year was kind to him, as his recent work, Feed the Animals , graced nearly every year-end list (including our own) and brought the former medical student to every popular music festival nationwide. So why not start out 2009 in the typical party guru fashion? A sold out show at the Pageant in St. Louis seemed sufficient enough. It should [...]
I'd like to start out by apologizing for the lack of postage recently... Our first quarters end is approaching us, and our teachers have loaded us with essays and tests all do this week. Anyways, on Friday night I attended the first of two LA Girl Talk shows, at the Henry Fonda Theatre. The show started off shittily as the first band, Hearts of Darknesses, ate shit. They were really bad at what they were trying to accomplish. Their live show suggested that if No Age and Health were to form a really shitty cover band, this would [...]
Here's the shows we recommend for this week. We told you October was gonna be a BUSY one!! We had to mention the NIN show even though it's in San Antonio (close enough). And the best part is Ghostland Observatory is opening up for them!! If you don't believe me, check it out here . Monday (10/20) : Girl Talk, Grand Buffet, Hearts of Darkness at Emo's (outside) [ SOLD OUT ] (Doors @ 9, Show @ 10) Weezer, Tokyo Police [...]
If you didn't score a ticket to the Girl Talk show tonight at The Variety Playhouse. there are other great options to check out for your Thursday night. First, the opening acts for Girl Talk , Grand Buffet and Hearts Of Darknesses wil be making their way over to The Highland Inn for a free after party in conjunction with the Kirkwood Ballers Club: Also, rumour has it The Black Lips are playing a show tonight at [...]
Since I am heading out of town for a long weekend, the usual weekend show preview is combined with the shows that will be coming through the area today and Thursday. Quite a few big names are playing as well as some hitting multi-city stops. TV on the Radio just dropped their new disc Dear Science and are on tour with the Dirtbombs , playing at the Electric Factory in Philly Friday night. After a long hiatus, Shudder to Think is back together and out on tour. This [...]
click on image for myspace 1. Grand Buffet and Mrs. Paintbrush (two different acts involving Jackson O'Connell). I had heard some Grand Buffet stuff before and still am not fully converted into a believer, but hearing Mrs. Paintbrush is a good way to get back into them. when it comes to Jackson's independent work, the fluidity in terms of sounds, but also in terms of lyrics, captured my interest. I think his partner in crime, Lord Grunge, has some dynamic beats, but I think the way he executes his verses comes across more as separated declarations, [...]
Usually nothing screams gangsta like two white, becostumed , hipster, suburbanites, but Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte are just about as hard-core as it gets. Their synchronized dance moves whip crowds into frenzies, their low-budget videos are a web-sensation, their brash lyrics make the girls' panties drop ( Shush girl, shut your lips. Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips ), but it's all in a days work for the boys as the represent their beloved 303 . 3OH!3's musical stylings are as hard to define [...]
