The Phenomenal Handclap Band is a tight-knit aggregation of musicians and artists from Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. At the center of it there two strong personalities: Daniel Collás and Sean Marquand, who, after years of searching and contemplation, through live performance and the manipulation of recorded music, have finally succeeded in realising their singular musical vision. They have gathered around them talented musicians such as Patrick Wood, Nicholas Movshon, Luke O'Malley, Laura Marin, Quinn Luke, and Joan Tick, enhanced by the remarkable talents of Aurelio Valle, Carol C, Jaleel Bunton, [...]
denmark, home to legoland and vikings... and oh no ono , a cleverly fiendish indie psych four piece filled with un-speakable names (yeah im looking at you aske zidore). don't know where they came from, what they are planning to do nor what they look like but they have on the other hand whipped up an assorted ep 'Internet Warrior' with not only hype-bot peoples like Caribou and Phenomenal Handclap Band but these obscure types like Higamos Hogamos and Zambri? anywho's the cut of my jib is it's good, it's different and it's something you [...]
Matthew Aldworth y Andrew Gardiner son los dos británicos que forman Den Haan, unión formada en 2006 en consecuencia del amor por la música disco y al softmetal de sus dos componentes. A raiz de ahí comienza la andadura de esta pareja adquiriendo un estilo muy personal. Ayer publicaron un nuevo EP, De Brandende Haan EP, electro con tintes disco e Indie. Aquí os dejo dos de los temas que se incluyen en el trabajo, junto con algunas remezclas realizadas a Hot Chip y a The Phenomenal Hand Clap Band junto con algun que otro tema [...]
We are pleased to inform you that we've relocated our monthly parties to a new home in Brighton; the larger capacity and better established venue, Audio , with its fantastic view of Brighton's pier and beach. We launch here on Saturday 31st July and we've pulled out all the stops to book a selection of truly awesome bands and DJs to kick things off in style. In a change to the original format we've now split the evening in two. Firstly, we have our Recommender Live section, which showcases two or three cutting edge bands [...]
Here's a couple steps to follow if you're a struggling DJ or living room mixmaster, and you thirst for the big neon lights in the undergrounds: Step 1. take some great new songs from up and coming artists. Step 2. Remix them really really really well. It's that simple! Once you finish those, the artists you remixed should knock your door down to ask if they can use your sweet mash-ups on their single releases and whatnots. Don't believe me? This is what happened to Guy Connelly [...]

Okay, so I am that guy that hears certain sounds in songs, and my mind clicks and starts thinking of other songs with the same sound. Or what song they ripped off for a sample. Or ripped riffs off from. I mean, I had that sort of moment with that Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros track "40 Day Dream" and how close it smacked of Elton John 's "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues". Seriously. Listen to those two songs one after the other and try telling me they don't sound similar. [...]
Es difícil llegar de Glastonbury Festival (es mi segunda vez) y no caer rápidamente en cursilerías. Porque así es como llaman algunos a esas verdades que cuesta confesar por pudor. Ayer en la noche terminó la cuadragésima edición del festival musical de este género, más antiguo y vigente del mundo. Y no lo digo yo. Fue el mismísimo Wayne Coyne (vocalista de los Flaming Lips) quien en una de sus locuciones antes de alguno de sus himnos, dijo que los festivales musicales contemporáneos eran, de una u otra manera, un copia feliz o no, de lo [...]
Dave left early Sunday morning to celebrate his first Father's Day with his family, so I was left to my own devices for the entire day. There wasn't a lot by way of concerts at various venues; the main action was at the free outdoor stage at Young/Dundas Square, which I heard referred to as [...]
Frank Yang So when this run of NXNE reports began earlier this week , I dismissed last Wednesday's claim of being "day one" of the festival for its general lack of options in programming. So what made Sunday, the final day of the fest and also with only a smattering of options on offer, worthy of being called "day four"? Well, the fact that I went. I never promised anyone consistency. It was a one-stop evening, though, with only the Yonge-Dundas mainstage on the agenda. After the rock-heavy, anarchy-inducing [...]

Criminal Records is hosting two in-stores for this year's NXNE. Fanshaw will play today at 7pm and Phenomenal Handclap Band will play tomorrow (June 20) at 4pm !
Death Trap Photography If it's mid-June and my lanyard collection has grown by one, it can only mean one thing - NXNE is again upon us. And that means this is yet another weekend I won't get to indulge my fondest fantasy - to sit around and do nothing - and that it's time for another dog's breakfast of a festival preview post. It's a little bit of my own schedule, a bit of what my schedule might be if not for what my schedule actually is, a bit of what's piqued my curiosity [...]

While they may have the worst production value known to mankind when it comes to their Knicks coverage, the people at MSG are pretty keen on crushing it when it comes to promotion and contesting. So they've gone ahead and, in conjunction with a new planned venture for their channel on Fridays, dubbed "Music Fridays" [...]
:: Frank Black stopped campaigning to be as important as Shakespeare for a little while so he could produce Pete Yorn 's new album , which will be out in September. :: Conan O'Brien and Jack Black are doing something together , but nobody knows what yet. :: Turns out late Avenged Sevenfold drummer Jimmy Sullivan died of an accidental overdose from the " combined effects of Oxycodone , Oxymorphone, Diazepam/Nordiazepam and ethanol." :: Nevermore 's North American tour is now Nevermore's North American Tour [...]
6/12 (SATURDAY) @ Music Hall Of Williamsburg. Wanna attend with a guest? If so, then e-mail us ASAP! A winner will be randomly chosen on 6/10 @ NOON. Watch 'Baby' here. MP3: The Phenomenal Handclap Band - You'll Disappear
Quand cette track commence, on a l'impression de se balader dans le Bronx avec un gros 4x4 flambant neuf, des jantes de 25 pouces à chaque roue, 2 nénettes 90-60-90 à chaque pouce et une chaîne en or 4 carats qui ferait pâlir d'envie les grosses pointures du CAC 40. Tout ça sans oublier de dodeliner de la tête en rythme avec le cahin-caha des amortisseurs et le déhanchement des 2 poulettes. Et puis au milieu, sans prévenir, on se voit propulsé en pleine soirée disco aux côtés de danseuses afros aux coupes affreuses (ou le contraire, je sais plus), [...]
