[I was fulfilling a previous obligation on Saturday and was not able to attend downtown's FYF Fest, which, according to people I've spoken with in the past 24 hours, was either an unmitigated disaster or an unqualified success. Funny how experiences can vary on a 100-degree afternoon. I solicited Michael Bauer, frontman of the L.A. band Useless Keys , to keep a diary of his day at FYF Fest. He attended without benefit of a media credential. His photos and account follow:] [...]

Har Mar Superstar's upcoming tour doesn't get him anywhere near New York, which is why we were glad that we caught him at the Jane Hotel a few weeks ago. However, here's hoping that the dates below are just a taste of what the sexual pop star has got in store to support the release of his new record, Dark Touches . Har Mar Superstar tour dates: September 5 - Los Angeles, CA - FYF Fest September 6 - Tucson, AZ - Hoco Fest at Hotel Congress [...]

FYF announces set times and preps for saturday.
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive The always-entertaining Har Mar Superstar is teasing the video for 'Tall Boy,' the lead single from his upcoming album 'Dark Touches,' with a series of film clips that will be unleashed one per week (check out the first one here ). "They're little tidbits. I'm going to roll out a whole other series before the album," Har Mar tells Spinner. "I'm all about making short videos and having people get excited and pass them around." The 'Tall [...]
Filed under: Video , Exclusive In anticipation of his upcoming release, 'Tall Boy,' Sean Tillmann (aka Har Mar Superstar ) enlisted the twisted comedic mind and unique directorial eye of Eric Wareheim (of Adult Swim's absurdly hilarious ' Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! ') for a teaser clip. Combining off-putting sound effects, suggestive facial contortions, and a mysterious blue liquid, the brief video is undoubtedly eyebrow-raising. "I've been fantasizing about working with Har Mar since I was a small boy," Wareheim tells Spinner. "Every night I was [...]

Sincere condolences to Matador Records co-owner Gerard Cosloy, whose Austin, Texas, home was destroyed by a fire August 11. Cosloy and a friend made it out safely; his ex-wife, Sally Crewe, also lived in the house but wasn't there at the time. Unfortunately, the blaze destroyed Crewe's gear just prior to a short tour; undaunted, [...]
Har Mar Superstar | Jane Hotel | August 11, 2009 Har Mar Superstar's mustache really makes him look like Ron Jeremy. However, let's face it, Har Mar is way sexier. The bizarre part of the whole thing was the surroundings. The hotel atmosphere made the whole thing seem very posh, and the attendees were straight out those hipster photoblogs like Last Night's Party or The Cobra Snake . There was no stage; it was a little hard to figure out where he would perform. However, after spying [...]

Yeah, I know what you're thinking, what the hell is that perverted pedophile doing on my favorite website ? Well, if you didn't know, that grotesque sonofabitch is Sean Tillman, better known to his brazen fan base as Har-Mar Superstar . Along with giving your kids nightmares on the reg, this immodest indy-pop-singer/producer has carved out quite a career for himself. After proving he was more than just a pretty face via the vocal prowess on his critically-acclaimed third album, The Handler , the Minnesota [...]

Mastodon, Deathklok and Shonen Knife announce TC dates, and new Har Mar Superstar.
After a five year hibernation since 2004's The Handler, Har Mar Superstar , sexy as ever, is ready to unleash 'Dark Touches' on the masses. On 'Dark Touches', Sean Tillmann - the singer, songwriter, and producer behind the Har Mar moniker - delivers his most club-friendly collection of jams yet. Tillmann's silky smooth croon and tongue-in-cheek lyrics lead a nonstop dance party that blends everything from synth-pop to R&B, with ample hooks around every corner. 'Dark Touches' builds a bridge between the worlds of indie [...]
Sean Tillman's party band persona, Har Mar Superstar , will release "Dark Touches," its first album in five years, on Oct. 13. I'm not big on tongue-in-cheek dance music — in fact, Tillman's pop album as Sean Na Na a couple years back far outstrips his work as Har Mar — but there are very few better showmen in town when it comes to getting clubgoers to check their inhibitions at the door. Guests on Har Mar's new album include Inara George, Boom Bip and P.O.S., and heavyweight producer Greg Kurstin co-wrote this single, originally intended for [...]
