Gretta och Jack från My Gold Mask var vänliga nog att skicka över deras nya låt Violet eyes (ej att förväxla med covern på Bette Davis eyes som vi postat tidigare)! Detta underbara spår kommer att vara med på en ny, ännu otitulerad EP som väntas se dagens ljus i november eller december. Tills dess kan man, om man har tur och befinner sig i New York den 22 oktober, gå och se Chicago-duon på Europa i Brooklyn. Man kan också gå in här och kolla in deras självbetitlade och [...]

The cool dude over at The Culture of Me & the sexy lady over at Sheena Beaston, have joined forces to throw a massive party during CMJ with a sick line-up! Check this out: Awesome New Republic,... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
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...
Tomorrow will be our first assembled show taking place in the dank confines that is Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios. Check here for the finely tuned words Ryan put together and for some good tunes too, of course.
Weeks ago the blogosphere went nuts over My Gold Mask 's cover of Kim Carne's classic song Bette Davis Eyes. I decided to dig a little deeper and find out who and what is behind the gold mask. I was able to chat with Greta Rochelle for a short Q&A about the band who will be making their way over to New York for a top secret CMJ show later this month. I also have for you the first listen [...]
Singer/drummer Gretta Rochelle and guitarist Jack Armondo equal out to the haunting yet uplifting My Gold Mask . Their style echoes and carries in waves, which ends up sounding like they recorded in a cavern. This gives My Gold Mask a distinct sound unlike any other. Here's their cover of Jackie DeShannon's Bette Davis Eyes to tide you over until the new EP comes out (release date unknown). My Gold Mask – [...]

Weekly Tape Deck is very proud to announce our first showcase, brace yourself because its a doozy . The show will take place October 10th at everyone's favorite Denton, Texas venue: Rubber Gloves. The show will be headlined by the beautifully talented Bosque Brown , whose album Baby has been lovin' on my speakers since it was released in March of this year. Bosque Brown is a pseudonym for the soulful Mara Lee Miller whose élan vital is her hauntingly beautiful voice; perhaps best described as one Flannery O' Connor crooning Cat Power songs. [...]
My Gold Mask are a great dark pop duo from here in Chicago. Lush with references to the era of Kate Bush and Siouxsie and the Banshees , My Gold Mask pound, shake, wail and thrash through midnight melodies laced with rock noir. Vocalist Gretta Rochelle is never afraid to deviate from a chamber pop formula, breaking the icy blackness of instrumentalist Jack Armondo's backing with a sleazy art school sneer and a dash of avant-garde. The duo recently released a cover of Jackie DeShannon and Kim Carnes' [...]
A new track from the wonderful My Gold Mask - two posts in one day?, I must be on something; just coffee & cigarettes actually, omg!. Yep, it's a fine cover of the early eighties hit for Kim Carnes, written in 1974 by Donna Weiss and Jackie De Shannon, first recorded by De Shannon for her album - New Arrangement - which if you know me, you'll know I've tried to find so's I can post the original... but I haven't got it yet, maybe tomorrow on a less slothful connection?. Fine it is then, [...]
A cover of a cover? Well, yeah, kind of. See, Kim Carnes was, in fact, not the originator of Bette Davis Eyes , and yeah, we knew that, but did you? Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon actually "collabreated" to produce a fine piece of material back in 1974. But 2009 is where the song has new life breathed into it, courtesy of our favorite Chicagoans, My Gold Mask . Pairing the inimitable chants of vocalist Gretta Rochelle with Jack Armondo's barely there arrangements, the duo have once again [...]
Been a while since we've talked about these guys, but My Gold Mask are back to recording. In the process of another ep, they sent over this cover of Jackie Deshannon 's "Betty Davis Eyes" (you're probably more familiar with the Kim Carnes version ). In other MGM news, we've confirmed a date at Rubber Gloves in Denton with local favorites This Old House on October 10th. We'll have more on that when it gets closer to the date. My Gold Mask - Bette Davis Eyes (Jackie DeShannon - [...]
My Gold Mask is one of my favorite Chicago bands who just also happen to be on the cusp of really becoming known outside our fair city. I'm so excited about this! Especially as it was only last year that I stumbled onto them, quite by accident. In a word, they wow'd me. This duo have continued to write and record catchy, unique, singles that really highlight Gretta's vocal talents as well as Jack's uber cool guitar stylings. Their style is a bit indescribable, they blend together forces from post-punk and gypsy music with a real present [...]
Right off the bat, we know that the Kim Carnes version of "Bette Davis Eyes" was itself a cover of the original 1974 song written by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon which DeShannon recorded the tune with her vocals. Now...
Primero que nada quiero pedir disculpas por mis constantes hiatos de publicación. Esto se debe a que pasé a ser un freelancer con mucho tiempo libre a una versión menos voluptuosa de Doralee Rhodes . (Noah & the Whale) El hecho de que haya empezado a trabajar " 9 to 5 " (de hecho es más como 9:15 to 6:30), no significa que no esté escuchando música constantemente. Por suerte mis compañeros de departamento tiene un gusto respetable y son receptivos [...]
I'm starting to think that The Hood Internet can do wrong. Actually I'm going on record write now and saying that's a fact. The Hood Internet can do NO WRONG. My Gold Mask , one of my favorite new bands, get the remix treatment from THI with their song "Bitches". THI splices the song up with some Roxy Music and boy does it work perfectly! mp3: My Gold Mask - Bitches (The Hood Internet Remix) and here's the original which is kick ass in it's own right: mp3: [...]
You may remember the introduction to the Sigur Ros side project Riceboy Sleeps thanks to that huge indie comp Dark Was The Nig ht a little while ago. Here's another new song from the upcoming debut LP entitled Boy 1904. MP3 :: Riceboy Sleeps - Boy 1904 ******** The Drums are from Brooklyn. Naturally. Hello, surf pop summer anthem. I need to make another playlist soon. MP3 :: [...]
My Gold Mask – Bitches ( The Hood Internet RMX) [ mp3 ] My Gold Mask VS Roxy Music OK this is more a mashup than a remix, but who cares it's simply amazing The Hood Internet dropped My Gold Mask's Bitches on the top of my fave Roxy Music song a match made in heaven
