LA's Dengue Fever made a triumphunt bargain return to San Fran last Thursday. These past few years the band has mostly performed on New Year's - very fun but pricey. The show brought everything we've come to expect: fast, poppy dance numbers, mesmerizing solo vocal work, psychedelic sax and bouncing bass lines. Near the end, they brought up Maus Haus to sing along, and by the very end the stage was packed with fans. [...]
Scholars believe that the saying "It's all been done before," was introduced by the Ancient Sumerians. Through historical simulations, we know that they developed the first written language. They were also the first to contract depression. Experts attribute this to Sumerian writers, who made profound literary breakthroughs, only to realize that their stories had already been written by previous Sumerian writers. Over the course of many centuries, this led to widespread cynicism and apathy. The Babylonian writer Plagiarus described this in his famous essay 'Nothing Changes,' in which he argued that "all forms of art have been present since the [...]
![[Indie Rock] Maus Haus – Hey Jean](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4628345_lg.jpg)
Self-proclaimed as sounding like a concoction of Kraftwerk, the Beach Boys, and Sonic Youth, synth-rockers Maus Haus recently released their EP titled Light Noise . The San Francisco-based septet recently turned foursome, proves that sometimes less is more with their track “Hey Jean”. The song starts off with an eerie yet sexy guitar bassline coupled with buzzy synths. Cue in the multi-tracked vocals and you can hear that Beach Boys influence. It’s safe to say that the boys of Maus Haus found the perfect home with label Lavish Habits . You can stream & purchase [...]

Maus Haus released the seven-track Light Noise EP digitally on October 2nd with the physical release to follow on October 23rd, both via new Om Records imprint Lavish Habits . When we last heard from Maus Haus – 20092s Lark Marvels – there were seven members of the band. Now there are only four, but that doesn't mean the band is any less adventurous in its sonic exploration. "We experimented with a lot of new production techniques, instrumentation and gear for this record," says multi-instrumentalist Sean Mabry. "If [...]
Self-described as “a concoction of Kraftwerk, the Beach Boys, and Sonic Youth steeped in a solution of glitchy noise,” San Francisco’s Maus Haus has been busy since the release of 2009’s Lark Marvels. They’ve downsized their lineup from seven to four, decided the guitar isn’t such a bad instrument after all, and signed to Lavish Habits, the label behind Light Noise , their new seven-song EP. The dirty synth that introduces album opener “You Made My Radar” envelopes with its power, sounding like an electronic blow to a conch shell. It's this opening that [...]
Maus Haus keep the grungy guitars and synths but lose some of that great peculiarity.

Now on their sophomore effort, Light [...]

Maus Haus - In Ultra-Violet [Cinema 90] | bx . watch the original
Even those students of music's most obscure acts may be woefully unaware of Seattle darkwave act Cinema 90. That’s not surprising, though, considering the little known duo came and went in 1984 with but one song to their name: “In Ultra-Violet” . Despite only appearing on the Seattle Syndrome compilation, the song’s minimalist, dark dance vibes earned it its own fanbase. That includes San Francisco electronic indie outfit Maus Haus , who has dusted off the track and given it brand new life 30 years after its debut. Much of the danciness of [...]

Today's music has electrolytes. Enjoy. : Maserati - Earth-Like : I'm sure you're already in the loop on Maserati . They're instrumental. They're good. What you may not know, though, is that their new drummer is Mike Albanese (from Cinemechanica), and he's pretty damn fantastic. I hope I get to see them live with him.

Living in LA isn't as glorious as one might think. It's definitely not the worst place someone can call home, but my con list is easily longer than my pro list. With that said, one pro of living in LA is the music scene. It's not the best, but it's definitely in the top 10 of the US. Each and every weekend, there are a handful of shows to choose from and even though I don't even come close to taking advantage of this pro, it doesn't mean the rest of you LA locals cannot and should not. So from [...]

The San Francisco Yellow Bike Project is throwing a party this Saturday at the Rickshaw Stop (8pm, $15-25). Actually, they're throwing a Fundraiser, Parts Drive, and Dance Party .

SFYBP is a "nonprofit, volunteer-powered community bike shop" and the Upcycle Ball is their launch party. You can get in for the low, low price [...]
