Our Band Could Be Your Life Tribute @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC 5/22/11

May 23, 2011, 10:01am Stereogum

It's ten years since Michael Azerrad first published his defining DIY '80s scene portrait Our Band Could Be Your Life , which covered an independent music culture that changed irrevocably a decade before that with the release of Nevermind . Round anniversaries make apt opportunities for retrospectives, and in the case of Our Band , this year has been a sort of meta-reflection: between a panel at SXSW, and last night's show at Bowery Ballroom, 2011 has seen a few organized moments of the present "indie" culture celebrating and reflecting on how the blueprint Michael [...]

What a little bitch. There are roots in the ground that still nurture.] The Cat and the Cobra Les Savy Fav Frenchkiss, 1999 Produced by Les Savy Fav [...]

What Are You Buying on Record Store Day?

Apr 13, 2011, 5:00pm BUZZGRINDER

In about 63 hours, I'll be throwin' some 'bows at Ear X-Tacy to make sure I get my hands on every Record Store Day release I need. Of course, "need" is hardly the proper term, but when you're standing there holding the last copy of a Japanese Les Savy Fav import on coke bottle clear and orange swirl vinyl - well, that's when "need" is the right word. With that in mind, here is my list of RSD desirables. In looking through the list, there were some entries I logically knew I [...]

Battles, Caribou, Flying Lotus, Les Savy Fav, Marnie Stern, No Age:

Mar 18, 2011, 8:18am Prefixmag.com

We already revelaed the three curators —Les Savy Fav, Battles, and Caribou—for ATP's annual Nightmare Before Christmas shows in the UK. Now comes news of some of the bands those artists have chosen to appear at the event, and it's starting to shape up like another rmust-see event from the organization. Archers of Loaf, Marnie Stern and No Age have been hand picked by Les Savy Fav; Flying Lotus, Walls, and the Psychic Paramount have been added by Battles; and Junior Boys, the Ex, and Omar Souleyman will appear on Caribou's day. The Battles/FlyLo match-up should make this worthy [...]

El excéntrico grupo originario de Nueva York sigue promocionando su quinto disco de estudio Root For Ruin , esta vez con un divertido video para la canción Sleepless in Silverlake .

El video resulta la continuación de un vínculo entre la banda y [...]

Les Savy Fav's "Sleepless In Silverlake"

Mar 10, 2011, 9:33pm End Hits

You'd be hard pressed to find a bigger Les Savy Fav fan than me . But I was a little disappointed when Ezra sent me the the link to the band's new video for "Sleepless in Silverlake" calling it the "best song" on the band's latest, Root for Ruin . Despite having spent a few weeks on two separate occasions in Silverlake already this year-I get the sentiment-this track just doesn't do much for me. It's one of the rare LSF songs that ever falls flat. Ezra, I [...]

Watch: New music videos from Lykke Li, Menomena, & Les Savy Fav

Mar 10, 2011, 5:21pm Consequence Of Sound

Here's further proof that Thursdays are magical: While a random Thursday in January saw the debut of videos from Lykke Li, No Age, and Sleigh Bells, this random Thursday in March sees the release of videos for Lykke Li's "I Know Places (Live on the Moon), Menomena's "Tao" (via Pitchfork ), and "Les Savy Fav's "Sleepless in Silverlake" . Most of us are eagerly counting down the hours to the weekend, but watching Lykke Li and her band rock the moon, or the boys of Menomena get their just desserts (wrassln' [...]

Is there a band more suited for a video premiere on Adult Swim than Les Savy Fav? Those post-punk goofballs should already just be a house band on Moral Orel or some other show. So here's their fun video for "Sleepless in Silverlake," which features a glamorous L.A. girl gallivanting in a club, and spurning the advances of a nerd. Dips in the pool, trips to the skate park, martinis, and scenic views follow. Les Savy Fav's Root for Ruin is out now.

Battles Preparing Gloss Drop for June

Mar 4, 2011, 5:21pm Drawer B

Battles has paired down to a three-piece, but the departure of multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Tyondai Braxton hasn't quashed my excitement for the new record, Gloss Drop , one bit. (That album title, by the way, is the win). In fact, as long as Ian Williams is on board, I'm on board. The new record is out June 7th via Warp and is to be followed by an extensive multi-continent tour spanning several months. If you fancy having your mind blown, try these guys live. Later this year the band will help curate ATP 's Nightmare Before Christmas [...]
