Philly's Pink Skull are fucking amazing. The dudes create the kind of soundtrack to a fifth-grader lighting bugs on fire with a magnifying glass, stealing his sister's diary and picking his nose. All while taking acid and watching "Scanners". Swallow that. The new record from the boys, Zeppelin 3 , is out now. According to Julian Grefe aka Julian S Prcss, the record is "...a tribute to the birth of the electronic music dance subculture in the early nineties when JG (Justin Geller) was [...]
For the weekend. I've been listening to quite a bit of Pink Skull on the move. Fusing their respective influences together into a cacophony of electronic goodness. Get with them.

Phillidelphia rave-band Pink Skull drop their first full-length, 'Zeppelin 32 today, fools! This comes hot on the heels of 'toof favorite, the 'Drugs Will Keep Us Together' single, that we shared earlier this year . "Zeppelin 32 is pressed on Free News Projects wax and the first single is 'Gonzo's Cointreau'—a track that is discovered to be a journey through frequencies. It's ear-drum contorting electronic experimentation is counterpointed with more conventional drum kits breaks for a concoction that's rather unique. Gonzo is onto something in this organic, synthetic dance track: [...]
Pink Skull - Gonzo's Cointreau Our friends down in Philadelphia, Pink Skull, have returned to the world aboveground, and apparently masterminds Julian Grefe and JG spent time treating themselves to more than one batch of Guatemalan insanity-peppers. Pink Skull is technically a band now, made up of Grefe and Justin Geller, and not that long ago they became a full live band, with Jeremy Gewertz, Mike Hammel and Sam Murphy joining the duo on stage. I got to see them play Fixed a few weeks back, and they put on quite a show and sounded great live. Pink Skull...

Pink Skull - Get Inside (My Tiny Pyramids) If Julian Grefe of Philadelphia outfit Pink Skull has a few bones to pick with the post-Daft Punk sound that's dominated the dance scene for the last few years, then he's clearly doing it on record with co-conspirator Justin Geller. Taken from Pink Skull's anticipated, full-length album Zeppelin 3 , due to be released sometime in April, "Get Inside (My Tiny Pyramids)" is a journey into the depths of avant-tech, electronic psychedelia with a hint of saxophone and acidic bleeps. It's anything [...]
Philadelphia's two-man crew Pink Skull , perhaps best known for their most amazing remix of fellow Philly act Spank Rock with the so-nasty so-good rap from Amanda Blank , has triumphantly returned with 'Drugs Will Keep Us Together', their first release since '06's LP 'Blast Yr Akk' (although they stay busy with remixes, including the recent one for L.A.'s best HEALTH that we featured last month ). 'Drugs Will Keep Us Together' is one tech house banger fresh from the hardware and required listening for every hardknock with an internet connection. [...]
Health (from LA) sounds like a late sixties garage-psychedelia band combined with the angsty noise of the Velvet Underground. If you enjoy shroom trips in dark forests where visions of rainbow colored snakes slither through trees, then you'll be enraptured by Health's perfect mixture of pscychedelia and modern alternative sounds. Interestingly they put three remixes [...]
Health is a band that was built for the modern world. In a music landscape where your music needs to translate well in a live setting, and manage to be remixable, it's easy to understand why HEALTH is such an easy band to add to your list of 'Favorite Music' on your profile. After a split release with Crystal Castles, HEALTH is in the process of becoming the next blogosphere sweet hearts. Basically, they have really good songs and really good remixes. They are [...]
PINK SKULL Celebrity "djs" wish they had the pedigree of Philadelphia's Pink Skull. A proud papa of the Rebel Capital's indie dance scene, Julian Grefe was a turntable resident at powerhouse parties Making Time and [click], with a punk and raver past. After a stint with French Kiss art poppers S PRCSS, Grefe paired with fellow Space 1026 vet King Honey behind a mixing board to produce Aspera's 2004organic synth masterpiece, Oh Fantastica, and a jack-of-all-musical-trades was born. To beef up the programming, Grefe teamed with 611 Records alum and longtime pal Justin Geller (JG). The newest collaboration [...]
Pink Skull - The Return Of the Second Avenue Phantasmal Poison Arrow Band (DJ Mix) Ahh... so my buddy Julian, from Pink Skull, dropped me a line via Myspace last week to tell me he and some friends had just finished a new DJ Mix that I had to hear. I say 'he and friends' because he told me "it features live sax from Billy Blaise (of Man Man) and percussion from Jeremy Gewertz (Jai Lai Savant) and keys from yrs truly" - awesome right? The flavor of this mix? Well, if you remember the last Pink Skull mix...

Hipster tendencie are really seeming to come out as I was torn between going to the Clipse and then to Making Time for Justice. Luckily, the Clipse have been rescheduled for December. I really just want to see Justice but seeing as there are a whole snapload of ironically cool bands, I think I'm going to bite the bullet. I'll totally make up for it somehow, hmmm...

While we were digging that up, we came across a bunch of newish/unreleased Tom Waits, from the 3-disc, vault-emptrying Anti set Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers, and Bastards: [...]
Pink Skull - Step Into My Orifice, Baby (DJ Mix) You may remember Philadelphia's Pink Skull from when I posted about their recent Blast Yr Akk EP back in May - wild, psychedelic electro- and disco-influenced dance music. Really this stuff is right up my musical and DJing alley, so when the man behind the Skull (Julian G) told me about this new mix he'd whipped up, I was pretty excited. I got it from him a couple of weeks back, and have been meaning to put it up here for you all to marvel at. I don't have...
