Monday: David Byrne @ Prospect Park Bandshell 8pm FREE This week the free summer shows finally kick off for real with David Byrne performing as part of the annual Celebrate Brooklyn in Prospect Park. As always they'll ask you for a small suggested donation (usually $3) but it's a small price to pay to see a legend such as David Byrne. Plan on getting to the venue at least an hour early to ensure your entry. David Byrne - "Fuzzy Freaky" Tuesday: Marissa Nadler + James Blackshaw @ Mercury Lounge [...]
Part of me flat out doesn't like this band and doesn't get the appeal. Another part of me is totally eating this shit up. I think this video sums up both sides of my feelings completely. Check it.

Killer show last night in Denton with Mika Miko, Strange Boys, and Bad Sports. Picked up a cassette tape from BS and jammed that on the way home even though my ears were ringing non-stop. The guys from Denton made a lot of new fans last night from the small, but appreciative crowd. Strange Boys delivered a stellar set that was a good change in pace juxtaposed with the headliners, Mika Miko. They absolutely blew me away in terms of energy and the ability to galvanize an audience. Reminded me of some hybrid of Pylon/Go-Go's. Throwing a quick [...]
Happy Friday, now here's something for the weekend...new videos from MGMT ("Kids"), Mika Miko ("I Got A Lot (New New New)"), Richard Swift ("The Atlantic Ocean"), and Regina Spektor ("Eet"). Get some! Eet
Check out these new videos from the two best girl groups playing today. Los Angeles-based Mika Miko is straight-ahead punk, while Brooklyn's Vivian Girls draw on the classic girl-group sound of the early '60s. Mika Miko, supporting its new album, "We Be Xuxa," plays Beat Kitchen June 22. Catch Vivian Girls at Pitchfork in July. "Moped Girls" will be released as a 7-inch record July 5 and a new album is expected in September. [...]

Great interview with the cute cute cute cute Vivian Girls. Apparently while dating one of the Japanther boys, Cassie Ramone inadvertantly borrowed and destroyed a member of Mika Miko's pants. DIY sisterhood of the traveling pants? In related news, Andrew WK and Nardwuar are releasing a split , Vivian Girls are playing at the Whitney with These Are Powers on July 31 (free), Japanther will perform Rock And Roll Ice Cream for a family program at the Whitney on July 11 ($10), and Mika Miko have some dates coming up which you can find in FMLY's Show Listings [...]
Mika Miko pertenece a esa oleada fresca de bandas noise californianas (más específicamente de Los Angeles) comandadas por No Age. Aunque se basan en el punk más primigenio de los 70's, Mika Miko me recuerda mucho a lo que hacían a comienzos de los noventa bandas como Bikini Kill, Belly o incluso The Breeders; quizás influya mucho el hecho de que también son mujeres. "I Got A Lot (New New New)" , una de las canciones que más me gustan de su recién editado We Be Xuxa ya tiene video. El bajeo de este tema realmente [...]

Confirming themselves as a band you want to party with, here's a video for a track from Mika Miko's upcoming We Be Xuxa . It's exciting to see videos with exploding motorcycle cats and laughing babies, but sometimes simplicity wins over all. With some paint, a slightly fuzzy picture, and the trendiest of dance moves, the California quintet pulls together a solid watching experience in under two minutes. The video and the track: Thx, P4K ! [...]

"Get Excited!!" Mika Miko is Jennifer Clavin, Jet Blanca, Michelle Suarez, Jenna Thornhill, and new drummer boy Seth Densham and they do trashy no-wave frantic dancey proto-punk like nobody else. Shouty and screamy vocals, fidgety start stop guitars, fuck-it drums and helluvalot of energy. Its great and makes me froth at the mouth. Originating from the now all too familiar and infamous venue The Smell (which also nurtured the likes of HEALTH and the Mae Shi [...]
Just noticed these guys were added to the bill on Friday night's show in Denton at Rubber Gloves. Bad Sports will be joining as the opener for the Strange Boys and Mika Miko . The tunes are straight punk and found me scrambling to get the 73 here on Boom Chick Records. I'm hoping there will be some at the show for purchase as it looks like these guys are pretty low on the radar as of now. The exposure associated with their upcoming show should prove beneficial to [...]
![upcoming in june [week 1]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1763732_lg.jpg)
According to my iPhone calendar, June is going to be a busy month for DFW live-music-fans. Nearly every day of June has a dot in its box, each dot representing at least one show that I deem calendar-worthy, which means that I'm going to need a new job and, by July, a new liver. We will keep you updated throughout the month on the live shows that we give our WTD stamp of approval. To kick us off, the first week of June is fucking monumental. Stare in awe below. 6/1 Mr. Lif @ The Loft [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: Mika Miko - We Be Xuxa words: Jamie Milton originally scribed for gigwise With a short attention span and a craving for a turkey sandwich, Mika Miko are most importantly, childish. They might have a few self-released records under their belt but that doesn't imply experience whatsoever because of the edgy, raucous wall of noise they refer to every time a note is played. Forget the background information referring to The Smell and LA - chances are if you've heard of Mika Miko, you've heard [...]
They Be Xuxa photographed for IM//UR by Agnes Lloyd-Platt Jessie, Jenna, Michelle, Seth, and Jennifer are the current members of self described pony thrash band, Mika Miko . This five piece from Los Angeles have actually been around since 2003; emerging from the tight knit, noisy experimental heart of the DIY community in LA, The Smell , where the list of patrons and regulars include No Age , HEALTH and The Mae Shi . The band though, have further come [...]
Mika Miko (Los Angeles, CA) [MP3] Mika Miko - I Got A Lot (New New New). - NEW TRACK! I'm behind on a lot of things these days. Apologies friends and family. Hopefully things will be dying down in the next little bit. In the meantime enjoy this new jam from Mika Miko . The band's classic proto-punk is perfect for summer! There is to no end how much I love this band. [...]
