Finding a way to accurately describe a band to someone without them actually hearing an artist's music can sometimes be a difficult task. This time, Step Rockets described themselves for us. As quoted from their website , they sound like "Pink Floyd and The Clash playing at an MGMT party." I couldn't help but get a good laugh from reading this because after I thought about it for awhile, it was a pretty accurate description. They may be found in either the alternative or indie rock section at the local record store but they bring [...]
So, some mates and I are throwing our second swing party and it's going down this Saturday. The first one (last November) was easily the most rammed, all-locals show I've seen and was definitely one of the best shows I've played, let alone partied at. We're hoping the excitement continues, obviously. You can grab the details in the poster above but if you need more check the facebook event here . Roaring 2020s : electro swing, gypsy house, Balkan beats, Bulgarian basslines, breakbeat jive, presented by Memetic With Nathan Zhan, [...]
As we previously reported, Baauer was in some potentially hot water over two uncleared samples on his smash single "Harlem Shake". But thankfully for everyone involved, the producer's label head, Diplo, stepped in to save the day. The Mad Decent leader told Huffington Post that he got in touch with the artists behind the samples, Jayson Musson and Hector Delgado, and got everything cleared. Diplo said he didn't even know the song had samples, but once he found that out he took the right steps to fix it so Baauer wouldn't "be making negative [...]
@cobaltcranes Género: indie rock, grunge. Head in the Clouds será el título del nuevo largo de Cobalt Cranes , dupla de Los Angeles que planea ofrecérnsolo el 9 de abril del 2013. Shake es el dardo de adelanto. Remolino guitarrero, rebufo grunge, áspera actitud, fácil asimilación para aduladores del rock de inicios de los noventa.
Click to enlarge. YURI'S NIGHT is just around the corner! This is one of my favourite events of the year, after all, it's not every day you get to play in the Manitoba Museum's Planetarium. As THE SHAKE , Lotek and I have been lucky enough to be part of the Winnipeg event, which is one of hundreds around the planet, since the fist one in 2010. JFunk, Justin Kace, and Redworm help us out with their space-themed aural adventures [...]
Shaking The Habitual è il nuovo album con cui tornano The Knife , a sette anni di distanza dal loro ultimo lavoro Silent Shout - lo streaming completo è disponibile su Pitchfork, che li ha anche intervistati :
I'm really stoked on this new jam from Cobalt Cranes . There's something about it's nostalgic 90s post-rock bent that really is working for my ears. At the same time, that heavy bass line combined with the atmospheric guitar work cascading in and out of the tune definitely provides the song with modern appeal; I also appreciate that it's a bit more melodic than some of the rocking tracks I've been jamming to lately. If you like what you're hearing then you can grab the band's debut album, Head in the Clouds [...]

It’s something we at camp pop have been a long time for this. So long that in the amount of time between her last album and now, Beyoncé and Jay-Z made a baby, we fell in love with Rebecca Black, Gangnam Style and YOLO happened AND we survived a Mayan apocalypse. Yes, it’s been eons; it definitely feels like it. Quite frankly, the only thing that’s lasted longer than the wait for Little Boots ’ second album is the hunt for Kony. That and the second La Roux [...]

Guaranteed theatrics when JOHN B is in town tomorrow. Our friends from three promotion / production groups are bringing in the legendary dj. He's not one to be pigeon-holed so his set in Winnipeg will be a surprise. Local talent in the likes of CHRIS KOMUS , GUMBY , and XPEDITE . I'm playing too, as half of THE SHAKE . We're on early but we have [...]
Bolstering Gainesville surf-rockers Thee Holy Ghosts at Kung Fu Necktie tonight is a troupe of local basement bands who all sound equally at home treating classic rock and roll to their own sloppy and sweet sounds. The Eeries couldn't be more staunchly of the city if they tried as you can tell from the cover of their latest album Home Alone with its an unmistakably Philadelphian row home facade. Hitching gilded Beach Boys harmonies to bare-bones arrangements is their ticket to getting stuck in your head for days and calling to mind [...]

![[Video] Shake: “Beep Beep”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4635127_lg.jpg)
Shake moved to America as a pre-teen and fell in love with Hip Hop music. In 2013 he'll formally throw his name in the ring and release two projects, the first being a mixtape About Time, and the second being a 10-song EP that is produced entirely by Chris Classick. Here's a new video that will appear on neither, as Shake digs into Chuck Inglish's "Beep Beep". Peep the video below, shot and chopped by Nick Brazinsky.

Hip kids all over the world, be aware of the movie "Silver Linings Playbook", because it might have a fantastic soundtrack. First tune from it is a brand new Alabama Shakes track called "Always Alright" which is a great rocker. Soulfull vocals give it that fantastic Alamaba Shakes touch, a true joy for your ears. Listen to it above, with some parts from the movie and great music!
Halloween has to one of the best excuses of the year to party as an adult. Suggestive and inappropriate costumes aside, the holiday is always a great time. This year will be no different. In Winnipeg alone there are many options. I'm happy to announce that I'll participate again, much to my wife's chagrin. THE REAPERS BALL features a two-floor event with headliners KJ SAWKA and WILL BAILEY . With 10 of our city's best purveyors of beats and bass, [...]
Now that I've reached the ripe old age of 29, I can tell you that I've seen some trends come and go, and come again. Those colored corduroy pants I used to wear in 7th grade? Totally cool again. Canning? That used to be a necessity in our grandparents' time, but now it's gained traction among the hip and cool urban-dwelling folks. Red lipstick? Cool again. Overalls? Not cool yet, but I can feel the trend coming back. In the meantime, you can enjoy the resurrected trend of jean vests (yes, your uncle IS onto something). Anyway, I tend to [...]
The leaves are starting to change colour here in Winnipeg. They litter the ground with their crunchy mess as they fall which cools my spirits slightly. It only means one thing - fall is here. If there's any solace it's that the HARVEST MOON FESTIVAL is right around the corner. It's closer than that actually. It's this weekend and it's what I look forward to most this time of year. The grass roots festival is one of my favourite events of the year, bringing together the pioneering spirit of local, sustainable food [...]
Here in Cincinnati, we love to champion the local boys and girls that have gone on to have national success. And two bands that have done just that in recent years are Wussy and Heartless Bastards. So leave it to the local champions over at Shake It Records to recognize them on a sweet piece of vinyl, at the same time. Yes, you can now get your hands on the latest in the "Dangerous Highway: A Tribute To The Songs of Eddie Hinton 73 series put out by Shake It Records and both bands are featured. [...]
