The Ettes Look At Life Again Soon ( Take Root Records , Aug. 12th (digital), Sept. 9th (CD/LP)) "I've got what you need when your eyes get bright..." Formed in 2004, New York's Poni, Coco, & Jem are The Ettes. Not The Pippettes or The Ronettes, just The Ettes . Loud and aggressive, these three turn up the heat both sonically and sexually. They seem to effortlessly mix raw punk sounds with an attitude of domination and overt flirtiness. Drawing inspiration [...]

Here at Quarterlifeparty, we get the occasional (try about 20+ a day) email promoting a band. Sometimes we write a post on each band...but lately it's been a bit overwhelming so in an effort to clean things up a bit and still be able to talk about the stuff we've been diggin', here it is in one post: the bands that survived the dreaded gmail archive button. No easy feat. I'll try to keep it short and sweet. Ezra Furman & The Harpoons - We Should Fight (MP3) We [...]
The Ettes forthcoming album, Look At Life Again Soon , will hit store shelves on September 9. The effort was recorded at London's Toerag Studios by Liam Watson (White Stripes, Kills) and will be available via Take Root Records. The band has received a significant amount of positive press since the release of its debut full-length, Shake The Dust . Magnet Magazine deemed them a "Band To Watch in 2007," and "As fetching as they are ferocious." Who am I to disagree? Check out some of [...]

For a band or musician these days, being good looking sometimes overshadows the beauty of a good song lyric or the prowess and skill it takes to make those lyrics become an anthem for something. An interpretation of thought into imagery, where imagery is key and thought is no less paramount. The Ettes (who needs a name when you've got a suffix?), a brash trio from Brooklyn who craft the kinds of songs you'd hope Ronnie Spector listened to during that trial , seem to know about both of these artifices.

Ende 2006 bescherte uns das "Beatpunk"-Trio The Ettes aus Los Angeles mit «Ghosts» nicht nur einen grandiosen Hit, sondern auch gleich ein dazugehöriges, durchaus gelungenes Debütalbum. Jetzt gibt es den zweiten Streich - «Look at life again soon» . Man darf gespannt sein, ob sie das Niveau halten konnten - der vorab ausgekoppelte Song «Marathon» jedenfalls rockt wieder gut los.

The day I've been waiting for has finally come. After waiting 19-odd months, today is the day we bring you a new song from the Ettes. Look at Life Again Soon , out March 11, picks up where their debut Shake the Dust left off, continuing their self-described beat-punk, adding a little more 60's reverb to drench Coco's coo-ing, a little more 60's psych, a little more of Jem's dirty bass, and whole lot of more of Poni's pounding the snot outta her drum kit. Catch them if you can on their way from Florida to SXSW. [...]
no more surprises www.theettes.com So last friday we had some friends over and we were singing karaoke (free on Rogers On Demand!) and we received a noise complaint. Fair enough I guess, even though it was Friday night and not very late. I can accept that the neighbours don't necessarily want to hear us badly singing classic rock songs. But then early this morning we were awoken to the soothing sounds of drilling and hammering the floor above us, or for our purposes, our ceiling. And really, this isn't the [...]
Okay. It's Friday! It's been a long week. Doesn't everyone deserve to rock out? I mean come on. This week I've walked in the door of my place of employment and found things in shambles. There sitting on the desk, a note reading "fix it". And though there were hours of agonizing, eyeball burning repairs, I actually made it to the end of the week without cursing anyone out. So now is the time I get to rock out. Quit jivin' me turkey! Ya got ta sass it! Yeah, [...]

I realize that most of what people want out of SXSW has been covered by now, but that's only if you were interested in the Cold War Kids and whatever other huge bands that everyone already knows about. Which isn't to say that you've never heard of any of these bands, but that is largely besides the point! So, here's some of the songs I enjoyed using SXSW's music player. Ane Brun - To Let Myself Go - (MP3, 3 MB) I've meant to talk about Ane Brun on here for [...]
