This Sunday Burger City will celebrate their 5th Birthday with a party at The Grand . The bill features three top notch bands: The Bad Lovers, Pharaohs, and Sweet Talk. I became a fan of The Bad Lovers after they were featured in a truly fantastic episode of Hardly Sound . The show highlighted not only The Bad Lovers but the community of bands that make up the garage rock scene in Austin. We [...]

So your plans are to hit up Youth Lagoon, but you can't stop there. Once the rock n' roll gets started, you've got to keep it going. The best place to head on Wednesday night is over to Hotel Vegas for the Grape St. LP release; this is the band featuring Curtis from Harlem...seriously one of my favorite records of the last year. Of course, you can buy it HERE if you're not in Austin. Just because we're putting out the record, doesn't mean you can miss a [...]
Should you bow before the electronic compositions of Pharaohs? 100% Silk, 2013 6.4 / 10 Serving as the vehicle for the Los Angeles-based core duo of Sam Cooper and Alejandro Cohen, Pharaohs have...
“My name is Queen Ashi Dala, and I want to do a public service announcement right now. You may have seen on Facebook that Wayne Coyne would be appearing on stage with us tonight. I want to make it known that Wayne Coyne is actually waiting in line right now for Justin Timberlake tickets .” Goddam it. Saturday had been that kind of day: great music, but a lot of confusion and unplanned gaps in the schedule. Though accident, or my own poor planning, I missed a lot of great bands, perhaps in part so that I [...]
A few years since dropping "Uhh Uhh," LA four-piece Pharaohs are back with a full album of fractured disco and confident synth leads that speak, squelch and buzz. One of the wonky standouts is "Syzygy," ... read more
Over the last year or so I've caught several sets from local boys Pharaohs , and they continue to impress with their enthusiastic indifference. Their goal you ask? Well, in my eyes the aim of the group is to throw down like nobody's business while building their sets with rad hooks and jagged guitar lines. I haven't caught one set that didn't make me want to let loose, all the while singing along. You should care about the group, not only because they're fast becoming an Austin staple, but because their debut record, [...]
The glory days of house music were heavily marked with a physicality that could be both seductive and goofy. This has translated in revival house acts like Pharaohs , whose exuberant track "Miraculous Feet" takes you right to the dance floor with a wobbly synth line that insists on going and going until your feet can't take it anymore. And then there's that sinuous bass lines that's juxtaposed with Maria Minerva's cut-and-dried vocals, explicitly implying the rise of a sexual urge that's triggered by a stranger's irresistible moves. The group's debut full length, Replicant Moods, comes out on April [...]
Electro-pop duo, holychild , have released the video for their feel-good summertime jam "Best Friends." Filled with spastic dancing, confetti, and youthful shenanigans, the video is set in the bizarre wasteland of Bombay Beach, focusing heavily on the frontwoman of the group, Elizabeth Nistico. In the vein of Sleigh Bells, the tune has a kids in the schoolyard, sun-drenched pop tilt, but with an ever-growing undercurrent of chaos that drives it forward. The ominous moaning and jarring sound design between chorus and verse leave you feeling unsettled, as though something sinister is afoot. The juxtaposition makes for a [...]
Pharaohs is a duo from Los Angeles comprised of Sam Cooper and Alejandro Cohen. They first released a four song cassette in 2009 on Living Tapes, influenced by such electronic music pioneers as Richard Pinhas, Michael Rother and Manuel Gottsching among others. Ultimately, Pharaohs craft custom artifact audio narratives with the lingering essences of their predecessors. Cooper and Cohen began regularly performing live at dance parties and clubs around the LA area, collaborating with a rotating cast of musicians and producers, including more and more frequent jam sessions with Diego Herrera (aka Suzanne Kraft) and Casey Butler (aka [...]

Pharaohs no es sólo es uno de los cortes mas exitosos del álbum debut de SBTRKT , sino que Pharaohs es el nombre de este cuarteto de Los Angeles que se encuentra coqueteando fuertemente con toda la esencia ochentera del italo-disco, con la única diferencia de que estos tipos se han centrado en marcar una cierta perversión dentro los linajes de synths para darles una proyección mucho más sci-fi. "Miraculous Feet" es el impecable nuevo sencillo que Pharaohs acaba de presentar como adelanto de lo que será su primer material de larga duración de nombre "Replicant Moods", para el [...]

Most times you see or hear a band perform a cover song and it is pretty direct and to the point. This is not the case with Shields as they took SBTRKT's 'Pharaohs' and created a truly unique version of the song. The video shows off the band performing in their own makeshift masks in homage to SBTRKT. Look for the cover song to be featured on Shields upcoming EP Kaleidoscope , on November 19th.
Shields - “Pharaohs (SBTRKT cover)”
The follow up single to the Kent based bands second EP 'Photosynthesis' is something new in the way of song writing for the band, abandoning previous influences and bringing out a bigger sound for the masses. The song uses power house bass lines combined with catchy guitar lines and technically brilliant drums to form a hit single. Along with this the atmospheric and almost haunting vocal lines 'and this is what it feels like to feel alive' makes the song rounded in its expression of day to day [...]

Somewhere between the drug-infused madness of Parliament Funkadelic and more traditional 60s-era jazz and soul releases, resides The Pharaohs 1971 LP Awakening . The album is one of a pair of releases by a band whose members would go on to leave an indelible mark on popular music, both of which are currently available through Ubiquity Records . The story of The Pharaohs is forever intertwined with the establishment of the Affro Arts Theater on Chicago’s southside, in 1967. The venue doubled as a community center that served as a prominent outlet [...]
