Following their debut single " Speeddance ", Reptile Youth are back with another track leading them one step closer to the release of their upcoming album. Listen to "Black Swan Born White" which comes with a heavy remix package by Terranova, S.C.U.M, Keep Shelly in Athens, and Mark E. The EP is released June 4 via HFN Music but all previews can be heard on SoundCloud .
This weekend State is heading to the French town of Clermont-Ferrand for Europavox 2012 . It's now seven years since the festival was unveiled for the first time and, while it has made some subtle changes to its format since then, it retains a pan-European theme at its core. The focus is very much centred on emerging Euro talent, but there's also space for established artists and even the odd act from farther afield. And even though the festival announced the cancellation of The Kills' set earlier in the week, this year's edition still boasts one of the strongest [...]
Tonight, Greek electronic pop duo Keep Shelly In Athens play Whelan's in Dublin with Ginnels and White Collar Boy while tomorrow night, they hit Cork for a show in The Pavilion with Young Wonder and previous remixee Sacred Animals before a slew of gigs around Europe. The Athens duo have collaborated and remixed another duo, Dublin's cinematic Solar Bears. The two came together for a track off Solar Bears' new album SuperMigration called 'Alpha People' . We thought it'd be a bit of [...]
This episode of Hott Mix with MFR is a bit of a journey. I'm excited to see that Desaparecidos are playing shows again, so they snuck in there with an older track. This hard-to-find MMOTHS track featuring Keep Shelly In Athens is a particularly golden moment that I think you'll enjoy. And I've been growing rather fond of Minneapolis newcomers Bad Bad Hats, so check out their disarming track. Spread the word and be sure to support the artists you enjoy. Purity Ring [...]
Cork electronic pop act Young Wonder , consisting of Rachel Koeman on vocals and producer Ian Ring, are set to play their debut show at The Pavilion in Cork May 10th, for the Feel Good Lost label first birthday party. They will be playing alongside shoe-gazers Keep Shelly In Athens and Sacred Animals . Tickets are available at The Pavilion bar open Monday to Saturday from midday. Listen to their self-titled debut ep, which received great reviews from The Guardian to Nialler9 blog here: The duo [...]
> We have written about this band many times, but I finally had the pleasure of attending a Keep Shelly in Athens show this past Tuesday. It was in front of a small but enthusiastic crowd at DC Nine. I have never seen them live, and likely will not see them again for a [...]
Jonquil Debuts Keep Shelly In Athens Remix of New Single "Run" Having wrapped up a their first ever national tour with Keep Shelly In Athens , including sets at SXSW '12 , and a sold-out NYC show with Snow Patrol , Jonquil has unleashed a breezy Keep Shelly in Athens remix of their next single "Run." The Grecian duo bring their sepia-soaked synths and angelic atmospheres into "Run," deconstructing the track and reshaping it into something distant and ethereal. The original [...]

We first knew singer Hugo Manual as Chad Valley before he caught our ear with his full band, Jonquil . The Oxford, U.K. outfit's latest album, Point of Go , is an exercise in "pure indie pop sunshine," and they're supporting the release by touring with Greece's loungey dream-pop duo Keep Shelly in Athens . The bands got on like Nutella and peanut butter (note: well), leading to KSiA remixing Jonquil's latest single, "Run" . At first listen, the remix feels like a wholly different song. At second listen, [...]
Yes, more show pics. I am still plowing through a backlog of photos from last week's blitz of shows. This post features shots of Ladders , Jonquil and Keep Shelly in Athens playing the Mohawk 's inside stage after the Real Estate show. And you may notice the post title above being show pics of Jonquil even though they weren't the headliner and the reason for that is Keep Shelly in Athens turned off the lights. The projected scenes lent for a [...]
Keep Shelly in Athens is the soundtrack to your dreams. The word "balearic" comes to mind, but it doesn't do the Greek duo complete justice. Their music is ethereal, nostalgic downtempo pop that draws you into a beautiful and wistful haze with melodies that linger for days. In the past few months, Keep Shelly in Athens have gained a lot of momentum after releasing their EP, Campus Martius , in December of last year. They've enjoyed the top spot on Hype Machine with their collaboration on "<33 with MMOTHS and have also put their dream-pop [...]
[Blog Tapes] - Coachella from metrojolt on 8tracks . About a year ago, some of us blogger folk decided to band together for a series of Monday Mixer playlists. We've proudly joined forces again to restart the series - bigger and better than ever before. Blog Tapes , the new mixtape collective featuring our favorite music blogs on the Internet today, kicks off today with its very first mixtape: 8 hand-picked songs from artists that are all playing at this year's Coachella festival. Give it a listen above! [...]
[Blog Tapes] - Coachella We've joined up with a whole host of our favourite music blogs around the world to start putting together a regular mixtape series - Blog Tapes . With Coachella festival starting this weekend in the US, for this first mixtape we've all picked one of our favourite acts playing this year and rolled it all together into a mixtape on 8tracks which you can play above. DJ Shadow - Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt It's rare in music for something to completely transcend the strict [...]
If you missed Jonquil 's show at The Prophet Bar last night, you missed more than a fun time. You missed out on future bragging rights! After all, only the coolest kids see a band BEFORE they make it really big. So yeah, last night was your chance to be one of the cool kids... To get so close to the stage you could touch the band without breaking any ribs or the bank. To get autographed merchandise straight from the guitarist's hot little hands. To get a goofy, sweaty picture taken. [...]
Date 4/11/12 Location Mohawk Doors 6:30 Tickets $13 @ Frontgate With all the killer shows going down this week, you're really gonna have to pace yourself so you don't lose your job. One of the many superb shows this week that you better get to is going down on Wednesday at the Mohawk and features great indie bands [...]
It's here! Despite the questionable but apparently easily profitable decision to extend Coachella to 2 weekends with identical lineups (a feat I doubted could ever actually take place), the multi-weekend Coachella festival is upon us. This is my third consecutive Coachella and likely my last as it's just too expensive to get there from the Midwest and in my slightly older age I've taken to exploring the more boutique festivals out there (a la ATP fests, etc). Our crew has expanded once again to 9 people and we've built in a THIRD day of relaxation by the pool, but thanks [...]
Listen to Solar Bears ' new song "Cosmic Runner" below. Twenty twelve might just be shaping up to be Solar Bears' year after already dropping "Alpha People" , one of our favourite tracks with Keep Shelly In Athens ' singer Sarah P. Back in 2010 the Irish duo released "She Was Coloured In" , their electronic, psychedelically-c harged debut album, and now a couple of years later they've almost finished its follow-up and have dropped this new track from it.
