Hip-hop/electric trio Menya know how to have fun and are bringing all of that dance excitement to the Camel on Thursday, Aug. 12. I missed them when they traveled through Richmond a few months back and heard from many people that it was one hell of a dance party. I can easily hear why. Their music is just the thing to make you want to get up and dance your ass off. I made need to make room in my schedule for this one. Menya - Sideways

![Menya - You Can't Hurry Love (The Supremes Cover) [new video!]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2642794_lg.jpg)
Here'a a "just because" post for you. Just because we're used to hearing our pals Menya sing and rap about "eating someone's cheesesteak" and being "down to f**k", doesn't mean that they can't get all gushy and sappy and crank out a simply sweet video and cover song. Here, the trio of Coco Dame, Angie Ripe and Good Goose do a little Supremes with their take on You Can't Hurry Love [...]

Definition of #hatespace? Waking up to fraudulent activity and having a negative bank balance. Oh, and it's also raining. Storms in New York City and tears in Beastonia. Deposit the below into your music accounts. And send well wishes...cause claims departments are about the worst and slowest at remedying. Jimi Hendrix's London home is set to open as exhibition. The legendary guitarist's [...]
After playing shows all over New York City, the crazy fun hipsters of Menya have finally embarked on their very first real tour. The trio of Good Goose, Angie Ripe and Coco Dame are driving up and down the East Coast over the next few days to play shows from Richmond to Miami to bring their spunky brand of pop and hip pop to a whole new audience. I featured Menya at my Superfraiche Pop Night at Santos Party House late last year and was blown away by their show. I was excited to [...]
I'm kind of done with the cold and snow right about now. Is it Spring Break yet? Sheesh..... I'm still kind of on cloud nine with that Nuggets and Cavs game last night. Just a word of advice to Mr. Reggie Miller. Stop acting like a know-all-ogist. The condescending attitude becomes rather cumbersome after the first few minutes and I . Too bad Altitude TV wasn't carrying the game last night. The Nuggets play the Celtics this Sunday at home. Sunday is when the US faces Canada in hockey for world domination. AMERICA! FUCK [...]
Never in my blogging-life did I think I'd get to the point where I'd post anything about midget-man Justin Bieber and the international craze and swarm he starts simply by mentioning his name. Alas, leave it to our pals, Menya , to bring it full circle and make a cover flip that's got us dancing and grinning like none other. In honor of the recently-passed lover's holiday, the [...]

So here it is, the wrap-up from Thursday, October 22, the day that we joined forces with the raddest bitch in the game, Sheena Beaston, and threw a CMJ showcase/party at Europa in Greenpoint. The show featured seven acts and...
Get ready to be hooked. Seriously. Menya is one of the most fun new pop bands I have seen since Fannypack and Cooler Kids. These spunky NYC kids bring on the pop and have good 'ole time with it. Why take it so seriously if it can be fun? Menya is the trio of Coco Dame, Angie Ripe and Good Goose who produce and write all of their own music. The group formed less than 2 years ago and has independently released three EPs, including " The Sleepover Series (Vol 1) " mixtape that hit [...]
We are pleased as piss to be bringing you the news that this year's CMJ festival (the five-day-and-night takeover of NYC that brings over a thousand bands to pretty much every venue that Gotham has to offer) will be taken...
We might be one of the few people that completely disregards 3Oh!3 as having any musically relevant capabilities, so at the mere mention of a response track to their annoyingly popular song, Don't Trust Me , I knew I'd have to go and mention them. THANKFULLY, this flip comes from those crazy kids, Menya , so we dodged a bullet there. Menya round out their week of Beaston infiltration with a response flip to the dudebro's anthem, and gives this one out to the ladies. [...]
As promised, today brings another cover from cool cats, Menya . Kelly Clarkson never sounded better, probably because she has no hand in this flipped response from these rad NYC kids. Taking a cue from Clarkson's I Do Not Hook Up , Menya takes a much less staunch stand on, well, one-night stands. On Monday, we saw and heard Good Goose take lead vocals on their cover of a Vanessa Carlton jam, while Angie Ripe takes center stage on this fix. Here's the video, and below [...]
My most favorite foul mouthed rapping, singing, all around talented local trio is Menya . I've gone on and on about their popaliciously grungey hip-hop swagger and tight dynamic, and the kids are back, making new music and continuing to impress. Menya are doing a whole bunch of new postings on their ' Space in the next 2 weeks in preparation for their mixtape, The Sleepover Series Volume 1 , due out October 2nd. This Wednesday, they'll post a flip [...]
