MENOMENA, EMA, HOSANNAS ( Doug Fir , 830 E Burnside) Portland has a lotta bands, but Menomena's one that we keep extra close to our possessive hearts. Too wise to overplay themselves, a Menomena show doesn't come along every other week, so between the two Doug Fir shows tonight and tomorrow, you'd better get it while you can. MARJORIE SKINNER JESSICA LEA MAYFIELD, NATHANIEL RATELIFF ( Mississippi Studios , 3939 N Mississippi) There has been a fair amount [...]
Menomena has been through a lot. Formerly a trio, the band said goodbye to Brent Knopf – a founding member and songwriting force – earlier this year, as an increasingly acrimonious situation led to the seemingly inevitable, eventual split. Though the parting was more or less amicable, it raised questions: Would the band lose its mojo? Would Menomena become something different? Would Brent's departure leave a gaping hole in the lineup we had come to love? Those are tough questions to answer, and certainly not queries that can be suitably addressed in the course of [...]

The third and final day of Coachella 2011 was a blur of electro, rock, rap, pop and folk. Indefatigable photographer Scott Dudelson did his usual stage-hopping and offers these glimpses.
It was brought to my attention that Coachella is this weekend. I have not been to Coachella since they made it a three-day festival, in fact the last Coachella I attended was in 2004 when Radiohead headlined, dang 2004, I am really getting old. At that time, I felt that a two day festival made for a long weekend, it was a lot of bands to get through and the temperatures were almost certainly at 100 degrees, so I can't even fathom the kind of marathon energy it would take to get through three days. Also, until a few years [...]

I wasn't 21 when Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes was released, which was a bummer. In fact, much like today, I was not into the indie rock scene. Instead, I found myself counting down the [...]

Menomena + Megafaun performing at Republic on March 15, 2011
Apologies for the lateness of this week's podcast, but inevitably the chaos of SXSW nudges schedules into the background a little. Last year, several margaritas the worse for wear, we sat down with Ben from Instinctive Racoon , Stuart from Creative Scotland , Vic Galloway from BBC Radio Scotland and Peej from Dear Scotland , and recorded a ramshackle, lurching podcast about the fun of the week. This year, perhaps goaded into something bordering on professionalism by the presence of the BBC camera crew who have been following Vic around all [...]
Day 3 from Austin and we stayed busy watching sets from Hooray for Earth, Menomena, Okkervil River, Owen Pallett, Reading Rainbow, Surfer Blood, and more!
Menomena's recently released video for "TAOS" reveals the alter ego and prowess in seduction of a cocksure ladies' man through the powerful metaphor of wrestling. These costumes are AWESOME.
Menomena recently released a video for the song "TAOS" off their most recent album Mines . Check it out below. Menomena is playing our Free Thursday Austin Day Party at Swan Dive from noon-6 PM TODAY (3/17) - the same 3-stage party Beans just got added to .

![[WATCH] Menomena - "TAOS"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3277435_lg.jpg)
I don't know why, but it seemed like nobody wanted to talk about Mines last year. It was one of my favorite albums of 2010, from one of the most consistent and creative bands out there, Menomena. Sure, Mines is relatively subdued compared to Friend And Foe , but it's a rewarding listen nonetheless. Whatever the reason was, check out the video for "TAOS" below and make sure to give Mines a listen if it passed you by.
One of my favorite tracks of last year/all time off of Menomena's Mines, one of my favorite albums of last year. mp3: Menomena - TAOS [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
New Alicia J. Rose-directed music video for "TAOS" by Menomena, taken from the group's 2010 album Mines .
