If you scour the web looking for the lowest of the lo-fi rock jams, this is about as lo-fi as it gets. Slam Donahue is a Brooklyn three piece who specialize in taking expansion and making it...less expansive. Take the catchy "How To Be Cool" for example - if this was the gas pump then this would easily be the lowest and cheapest grade fuel that you could purchase. That's a compliment. "How To Be Cool" sounds like what happens when someone is playing a grainy garage pop anthem for you...except, they are playing it for you through [...]

Slam Donahue: How To Be Cool This slice of indie-rock is a little rough around the edges but it's all the better for it [ mp3 ]
There's pop- like, the old word for soda- and then there's Pop. Three piece Brooklyn-based group Slam Donahue have cultivated the latter, the type of music that makes me want to jump around like a five year old on a sugar rush, in their latest release Big House Nice Dreams (self-released, March 28th). There is a clear aesthetic being pushed on this record: the recording falls in line with other home or bedroom projects that de-sterilize the experience of listening to music created in the studio. David Otto's vocals on the chorus for Where Are You seem to [...]
Slam Donahue // Big House Nice Dreams I found these guys through The Guru who featured them on their Tumblr site earlier this week. Big House Nice Dreams is the newest mixtape from Brooklyn's Slam Donahue and after only a few seconds of the first track I knew I would totally be into it. Now what constitutes this as a mixtape and not say, an EP? I am not sure, but whatever. Slam Donahue have such a [...]
Slam Donahue are a trio of guys making catchy pop music. They've just released a free mixtape on their website courtesy of Cantora Records. The songs were recorded through a boombox, and they're amazingly good. Listen to the single "It's Scary" after the jump, then download the full mix, and don't be bashful at sneaking a peek at the nude cover art. Read more »
Currently signed to Cantora Records (MGMT, Francis And The Lights), Brooklyn's Slam Donahue have been making noise across the East coast with their boombox-recorded home demos. Tis week, the trio will dish out a full-length mixtape, Big House Nice Dreams , which is highlighted by the buzzing, lo-fi single "No More Talking". At just over two-minutes, Keenan Mitchell's toe-tapping percussion serves as the churning backdrop to the broken-speaker vocals of David Otto and the melodic bass lines of Thomas Sommerville. And even with the low budget recording process, the three deliver textured vocal harmonies to close the song. Stream [...]

BANNERS is a free day party sponsored by Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum featuring Hooray For Earth , Stepdad , Fort Lean , [...]
Descobri o Slam Donahue há pouco e adorei suas 3 músicas lançadas até agora. O trio nos apresentou seu primeiro trabalho, o EP "Mixtape", no início desse ano. O Slam Donahue não tem nenhuma vergonha de se auto-definirem como uma banda pop. O som é baseado em batidas dançantes e sintetizadores, e um vocal bastante interessante, que me fez lembrar, algumas vezes, o Foster The People. Vocês podem baixar "Mixtape" gratuitamente no Bandcamp da banda . Apresento-lhes "It's Scary", a primeira faixa do EP, mas recomendo fortemente escutarem as demais: "Where Were We On The Weekend" [...]
(Nick Panama, Will Griggs, Jesse Israel - by Kyle Dean Reinford) New York City. 2005. Two guys, Jesse Israel and Will Griggs, share a typical introductory conversation sophomore year at NYU. The chat naturally turns to music within thirty seconds. Conversation turns into action. Parties are thrown, records are played. Soon they decide to get serious and make the obvious move to bring a kid from California named Nick Panama into the fold. They aren't sure exactly what they plan on doing: A) Manage bands B) Book shows C) Put [...]
