Photography by onixa It seems like just yesterday we were fawning over We Breed Champions by Royal Bangs, yet here we are, smack dab in a chilly autumn day and Royal Bangs are already back with Let It Beep ! Dang... that was fast! Okay.... this is pretty much an electro-dance-rock thing, right? Not normally in my wheelhouse, but holy shit this is fun. It's ADD-central, all over [...]
The last time I saw Royal Bangs was backstage at Forecastle. I was trying to interview drummer Chris Rusk when Honus Honus from Man Man showed up. In a video, which will probably make its way onto the net, Honus and Chris dug at each other, were slightly homosexual, and made a veiled threat to kidnap someone. Fuck, I love this band. So fucking up the stoke, yo. 'Bangs have a new album out it's called Let it Beep and dudes are traveling across the country trying to drop panties with it. [...]

Yo La Tengo Popular Songs Matador Records No matter what the software makers call shuffle these days -- Smart DJ, intelligent mix, or auto playlist -- the fact remains that these so-called "Smart" mix makers will always find the Creed in your music library and play it at the worst possible time. Naturally, this problem can be avoided by never using the shuffle option, but the idea of an instant mix-tape at the push of a button is so appealing, that we inevitably return to shuffle time and again.

A very fun Indie Dance rock and roll group bursting with energy. A pure 70's feeling to them, the Royal Bangs shake'd and shimmied, wailed and wiggled, jumped and jived. An unstoppable train to funky town. The Royal Bangs ( Daytrotter Session )

True, to its title, Royal Bangs' "My Car Is Haunted" has the feel of old, unreliable traveling too fast on the highway. There's cowbell and more cowbell, keyboards fit for Miami Vice, and guitar solos primed for a Rocky fight scene, all backed by a chopped, sputtering bass riff. It's disco rock, to be sure, but without the sub-genre's usual sheen, it's spontaneous and fun, coming off like LCD Soundsystem and TV on the Radio on a cheep beer, bad booze, and Eighties movie bender.

When you name put as many funs in your name as Fun Fun Fun Fest does, it better be good. Fortunately, the Austin based music festival usually does a good job living up to its name. After all, the 2009 edition, scheduled to take place from November 7-8, certainly exemplifies this fact, as organizers have once again put together one amazingly solid, incredibly electric lineup that can't help but, well, result in some fun. The Jesus Lizard, Of Montreal, Mission of Burma, Ratatat, The Pharcyde, and Destroyer head the recently unveiled 2009 bill. Other acts of [...]

Monday: Hockey + Sigmund Droid @ Mercury Lounge 8pm $8 My choices for this week were really tough to come by. All summer long we have been pretty much inundated by fantastic live shows and for whatever reason this week is pretty weak and fairly expensive. I hope you've been saving your pennies by going to nothing but free shows! Anyway, I'm on the fence about whether or not I like Hockey and Sigmund Droid has been missing in action for quite a while. Apparently they're back now so I guess check this out if you have [...]

Jody also runs two labels, Polymer Sounds and Swamp Records. R&G: How did you get your start in the music business? Jody: I [...]
Arnett Hollow CJ: If i hadn't have already heard so many good things about Arnett Hollow, this performance would have been my biggest surprise of the weekend. For as long as I've lived in Louisville, I had never gotten around to seeing them perform. My disappoint of this has now fallen into the 'epic' range. The group's concise take on modern bluegrass (or newgrass, even though i hate this term) provided one of the more interesting and lively shows I saw on Saturday. If nothing else, Arnett Hollow [...]
