Quedamos sorprendidos con su presentacin en el Neon Desert, ah fue cuando entendimos una de las muchas razones de por qu -por ejemplo, su concierto en El Plaza Condesa qued agotado.

No importa si son los de mejor ver, los ms talentosos o los ms llamativos; los vocalistas siempre cargan con un peso especial para su banda. Cuando deciden probar suerte como solistas hay una expectativa enorme sobre ellos. Muchos fans se conforman con que no arruinen el legado que han construido, pero hay quienes esperan obras de la magnitud de sus clsicos. Entre 2000 y 2009, muchos vocalistas icnicos de otras dcadas y algunos que llevaban una carrera corta, pero muy exitosa, decidieron abrirse paso sin sus compaeros de banda.

Cada vez que un lder de una banda se separa por un momento para explorar una carrera como solista es el objetivo de criticas, a veces buenas y a veces malas. Este hombre ya lo ha hecho dos veces, una bajo el nombre de Julian Plenti y otra bajo su nombre comn, Paul Banks.

Somewhat-overlooked Odd Future member Mike G has remained relatively quiet since last fall, when he dropped a few tracks as part of a weekly series. But he's likely been working on something new-at least, I hope so, as I've been a fan of his since the jump. And until we hear that, the Houston rap-loving MC has shared a new mixtape, Verses Vol. 1 , that compiles all the guest verseshe's spit over the past year or so. For those unaware, he hopped on tracks and delivered smoked-out bars alongside Speak! , Charli XCX , [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-07T15:21:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4876647/pazar-neesi/

Truth be known, I was somewhat startled by the lack of intrigue whipped up about EmptyMansions earlier on in the year when we first heard Lyra emanating out from the newfangled endeavour of longstanding Interpol sticksman Sam Fogarino. Though I guess where Paul Banks opted to only gently tinker with the drear-laden formula of doom, gloom and despair veneered in a debonair kinda pop-gilded post-punk revivalism, Fogarino instead opted to cram his storefront with genuinely invigorating idiosyncrasies. The guttural rumblings of Swans; the bleached abrasions of Sonic Youth: the curt hostilities of his native New York.

Crditos/Monkeybuzz Sabe aquele Paul Banks de postura blas que comanda a banda Interpol ? Ento, esse cara no apareceu ontem em So Paulo. O Paul Banks que se apresentou na noite de quinta-feira (14/03) no Cine Joia foi bem diferente do vocalista que passou por aqui em 2011 com sua banda sendo uma das atraes do Planeta Terra.

O eterno frontman do Interpol retorna ao Brasil, dessa vez, carregando sua carreira solo como estandarte, para apresentao no dia 14 de maro.

Yes, It's True . The above ostrich (or maybe emu) is to adorn the sleeve for the long-awaited forthcoming fourth (somewhat dubious Christmas release discounted) from Tim Delaughter's The Polyphonic Spree and so below, they've proffered a preliminary glimpse into what it'll sound like. You Don't Know Me, perhaps aptly, sounds only slightly like that which we've become accustomed to from the perennially enrobed Dallas cult as it's only slightly redolent of The Fragile Army , otherwise sounding more readily evocative of R.E.M., or Paul Banks' independent endeavours. Though as Delaughter sneers: "Watch 'em falling all around" [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-27T15:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4803802/on-the-horizon-winter-is-here-and-i-guess-were/
As Robert Dale's Belgian Fog endeavour so transparently elucidated only yesterday, there are forever more artists emerging sounding that bit more fully-formed than some ever even aspired so to do. And woebegone Tyne and Wear songsmith Richard Smith is another such exemplar, in that his Wishing Well lifted from dbut EP Autumn Is Here, And I Guess I'm Still In Love With You is an utterly exemplary recording, irrespective of how far into his burgeoning career it just so happens to have come. Smith leaves us with no misgivings as [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-21T13:31:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4792618/ken-stringfellow-at-the-drake-underground-in-toronto/
Frank Yang It seems ages ago, but early 2002 was still an era where the magazine was still a vital medium for music reviews and general discovery; I still clearly recall a live writeup in issue 49 of The Big Takeover wherein editor Jack Rabid gave Ken Stringfellow a glowing review for a show at New York's Mercury Lounge on September 20, 2001, and how it served as a powerful musical anodyne for those in need of some healing just a week after the World Trade Center attacks.

Paul Banks is clearly having an identity crisis. Its been quite some time since Interpol made music together, and what has the bands frontman been up to since then? Hes made music as his mysterious alter ego, Julian Plenti, as well as one recent album, Banks , as himself. Hes set to appear in a film later this year, which will mark his acting debut. As if that werent enough to keep one man busy, hes now released a mixtape. That's right- a hip-hop mixtape. Remember when Joaquin Phoenix quit acting to [...]]]>
