As heard on last Sunday's special post-DOMA all request edition of The Local Edge, Little Black Dress' latest 7" hit shelves yesterday. Mark has already been playing the A-side, slightly shoegazy but surprisingly faithful cover of Beach Boys' "Don't Worry Baby" on his show (check it out streaming below). The physical copies will have a limited run of 300, with the official release show coming Nov. 12 at Dada with Calhoun. =w=

The games have begun. Yup, fashionistas NY Spring 2011 fashion week is finally here and its time to put those thought-out-for-hours outfits into play.

Little black dress friendly deodorant that moisturizes, prevents razor burn and lasts through work out regime is like a unicorn. You can be wearing the most gorgeous dress but if you have white marks on it, that is all anyone will see. Dove graciously came along to educate me. Such a product exists. I am a sweat machine in the gym and still managed to suffer razor burn post shaving. My underarms, much like the rest of me, were a combination. Luckily, among the masses offering to be little black [...]

RVCA and globally known fashion blogger/stylist/and model, Rumi Neely teamed up to create her first line.

Every year, we listen to mp3's of every band scheduled to appear at SXSW. We then present you with an A to Z preview of the bands that we think should earn your attention. Whether you're coming down to SXSW (recommended!) or just looking for new music, there's no better time of year. There's a variety of music here, so buckle up for some different sounds. We'll be previewing two letters per day, which'll take us right up to SXSW Music Week. Then we'll give you our picks for the "Ten bands you must see at SXSW!". This is part [...]

Woahhhh this ACNE Who Strapless Box Dress is so cool I can't even contain myself!
![[New MP3's] Here Holy Spain, Little Black Dress, Shibboleth, Impossible Arms, Americans In France](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1986873_lg.jpg)
Well here we are, digging back hard at it. Finding new music everywhere. Great fun and great stuff! The first three featured here hail from my old "stomping" grounds - Dallas, Tx. They are all on the wonderful Dallas based Idol Records Label. These guys churn out some excellent local bands and are a respected indie music label. Here Holy Spain is a trio that hails from Dallas and on their debut Manic they deliver what the indie kids call "slacker punk". On Manic , the band cranks full on blasts of banging [...]

Off the shoulder, cinched at the waist with a pop of Nicky Digital pink, and just long enough to stand out among other LBDs, this Dona Monroe piece is where it's at.

Well Dallas, there are some solid shows going on this weekend, starting tonight with St. Vincent and Santigold. The problem is that St. Vincent is at Granada, the site of a truly terrible series of venue blunders by the Granada Theater last Monday night for the Grizzly Bear show. Here's hoping they have their act together, because that sucked. Inside find the events that interested me (at least) along with links for tickets or info, if available. Additionally, get yourself a St. Vincent preview at the bottom with her song "Strangers." [...]

Next month Little Black Dress will unleash their full fury on the world when they release their debut album Snow in June, on June 2. Well, fury might be a little bit of a strong descriptor for their music. Like local brethren Radiant* , the band music in a blend of pop and Brit pop, only LBD throws in a little bit of shoegaze into the mix. With a sound so similar to Radiant* it will be interesting to see if the guys in [...]

Going to SXSW next week? Like me, I'm sure you've already got way too many bands on your schedule. However in this age of way too much fucking noise, as a public service to you indie-rockers, punk rockers, hip-hoppers and pill poppers, SVB has been scouring the massive South By schedule to point out what I consider bands not to miss. In case you missed the first two parts of my Best Bets series, here you go: SXSW Best Bets Pt 1 SXSW Best [...]
