Come later this month, however, organizers will bring the CYP2 show on the road with the shindig's first national tour.

Playing ecstasy infused punk rock that bashes listeners into groovy head banging, The Death Set has raged with audiences worldwide.

New video from The Death Set's 'Michael Poiccard', a record I've gushed over before . One of the stand-out tracks of the record getting the videographic treatment, and thoroughly discomposing my stomach in the process. What's worse is the girl at the end is so damn hot, but I feel too ill in my tummy to get aroused. Confusing :*( In other news, Brisbane band DZ Deathrays are in the process of blowing the fuck up. Word has it the Death Set will be doing a blow-for-blow cover of [...]
Jelly NYC brings the party back to North Brooklyn with a free show this afternoon at The Morgan. The Death Set, So So Glos, Cerebral Ballzy, Japanther, The Growlers and CSC Funk Band are playing. That, my friends, is awesome!

(photo by Brock Fetch) The kids of the grind/pop/thrash act The Death Set just finished some US touring with Win Win (Vice Records) aka producer XXXChange, DJ Devlin and visual wiz DJ Ghostdad. They also took a ton of photos and iPhone weirdo footage and compiled it all into two very disturbing but ultimately rewarding and hilarious bit of fun. Ok, lots of fun. If you like laser cats, snoring, graffiti, live shows, trumpets, food, laughs and maybe a dick shot or two or three, have a blast with Part 1 and Part [...]
The Death Set return with the latest single from their album "Michel Poiccard". A perfect slice of pop infused punk with a distinctly classic pukk feel to it, "Can You Seen Straight" is, in the words of lead singer Johnny Siera, "about unrelenting chaos every night. Getting ridiculous and getting in the van and doing it again (and again...). "Sent us kind of insane in the end." Things came to a head at a particular show where the crowd invaded the stage and smashed up the drum kit. Unfortunately the drum kit didn‚t belong to the Death Set but the [...]

Things get weird in The Death Set's latest video for Another Day . The Autista Collective and Scion A/V have produced a beautifully cinematic portrait of a lonely guy emotionally consuming his way into pregnancy. It is difficult to find a truer love than that between an emotional wreck and their food. It is also difficult to imagine a man giving birth to the girl of his dreams. Ridiculousness aside, love is what you make of it, regardless if it is for pancakes or a newborn girlfriend lying naked in the street. [...]

I know this can be seen as a poor journalistic practice, but if I'm planning to see a band in concert, I choose not to acquaint myself with their music beforehand. I prefer to let them introduce me to their sound in the live setting. Last Wednesday at the Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, this practice paid off threefold, starting with a great live debut Total Warr. The Death Set followed, immediately establishing an amusing rapport with the audience and delivering a manically high-energy set. We Have Band closed the night with a performance so strong, my concert [...]
Check out the latest video from electro/punk rockers The Death Set for their song "It's Another Day" from their latest LP Michel Poiccard . Their latest visual is collaboration with Scion AV in which the band explains, "No drugs, guns, curse words or sex allowed." Although, we aren't getting our typical Death Set mayhem video, we are getting something truly out there with this love story. The plot is basically, boy eats so much junk food that he becomes pregnant, then boy gives birth to his dream girl on the road and they make out happily ever [...]
