Artist: The Czars

John Grant doesn’t come across as the type of person to sit on the fence; he is what he is and things are how they are. But his music is so painfully honest and intermittently hilarious, or maybe that is painfully hilarious and intermittently honest, that you could be forgiven for thinking that he hadn’t really made his mind up (just look at the videos for ‘GMF’ or ' Chicken Bones ' and try not to smile through the pain). Has he really made his mind up about the mysterious TC, about his love life, about anything, really? His lyrics [...]

Saturday afternoon treat! John Grant – Queen Of Denmark John Grant, former front-man for the alternative rock band The Czars , launched is solo career almost three years ago. This song,  Queen Of Denmark ,  from his first album of the same name, was released in April of 2010. I love the uniqueness of Grant here. I love his cleverness.  The lyrics are funny but poetic, salacious but facetious. And the puns! So many puns. And you can see all of that in [...]

I'm NOT joking. I will kill you. You'll be Czar-ry.

John William Grant , por entre uma electrónica desconcertante, ecoa versos honestos da sua própria experiência sem medos nem vergonhas. Um pedaço de uma vida que nos é oferecido. Pale Green Ghosts é fruto de uma vontade de se salvar de si próprio, como quem foge de um passado que teima em ressurgir. Depois do ponto final na sua banda The Czars, depois de uma relação com quem um dia julgou ser o amor da sua vida, depois de vícios, depois do álcool, depois de relações físicas gratuitas e despojadas de sentimentos… um telefonema, uma ida ao médico, [...]

In town with some time to kill? Get some great tips from Czar's guitarist/vocalist!!!

En un día marcado en el calendario por l@s oyentes de la Radio Corazón, y las grandes tiendas comerciales, quise fortalecer mi despechado espíritu Anti-Valentín con este sufrido compilado. Son 8 vídeos y 26 canciones, que transitan algunas de las mil y tantas formas de vivir y sentir el amor, desde el primer flechazo hasta el "ándate a la xxx”. Cupidos, despechados ó azotados por la decepción del amor, para todos, ¡Feliz Anti-Valentín! 1. Nick Cave & the bad seds -  Where The Wild Roses Grow [...]

Hopefully Chicago trio Czar has been on your radar for some time now, but if not here's your chance to get down with one of the best new bands in quite some time. I included their excellent full-length debut Vertical Mass Grave (fabulously recorded by Matt Talbott, guitarist/vocalist of Hum) on my year-end list for [...]

The cover art to Czar's debut album, Vertical Mass Grave, is some kind of fucked-up metal tribute to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey... and that's somehow very fitting for the music contained therein. Combining lots of disparate elements into one powerful, anthemic package, Czar are one of those bands who could build a bridge [...]

Here is a transcript from the review I recorded for Tuesday nights Matt & Kim , The Thermals and DJ Autobot concert at the Czar Bar in Ybor . It was around mile three of a six mile run. Pre-Concert Meal: If you live in Tampa, you've probably seen billboards for the Acropolis . They dot I-4, 75 and 275. We've been going here for as long as I can remember. It isn't the "Opa!" or belly [...]

I only have two songs by these guys and they're fucking tight. If you like the band Polvo or Built to Spill you will enjoy the only two songs I have to offer. I tried getting in contact with these guys a couple of years ago through myspace and I'm still waiting for a copy of their release. I don't know what's taking so long, they're from Santa Cruz.  There are two more songs on their myspace but ever since it became the new digital ghetto shit's gone wack. SurfstruMental [...]
