Northern Outpost just released their latest local video creation "Sailor," originally by Minneapolis' Zoo Animal and here remixed by local artist Mark McGee of To Kill A Petty Bourgeoisie. This newest release seems to represent a different kind of creative approach from the NO camp. I'd be interested to here some background info on the [...]

Auch die zweite Platte von To Kill A Petty Bourgeoisie fällt zwischen sämtliche Schubladen der Musikkommode. Greift man nach ihr ins staubige Dunkel folgt der tiefe Fall in eine verwunschene Zwischenwelt. Das Debüt des erstaunlichen Experimental-Duos aus Minneapolis bescherte Kollege Hofbauer vor zwei Jahren eine Nahtod-Erfahrung: "Diesem uferlosen Klangnebel zu lauschen ist wie im OP liegen und sterben: Die Geräusche der [...]

Sweetest Day didn't go well for me. On one hand, I woke up entirely hung over from Friday's Dr. Dog show at Beachland. We had a little Citizen Dick reunion of sorts, with Rob, Brian, and Justin all converging at my place after the amazing set the medicinally astute canine put on for us. Plenty of brews were enjoyed, and after a slew of heated musical and professional debates, I went to bed knowing the morning wouldn't be too sweet. This was correct because my liver was smoking a cigarette next to me when I rolled out of bed. Lesson [...]
New music from Bob Dylan, Tegan and Sarah announce TC date, Greycoats offer free album download & new videos from Sick of Sarah & To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie.
The local duo have released a new video in support of their latest album "Marlone."
To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie release a new music video, the Books to play the Cedar & Tavis Smiley interviews Sheila E.

As mentioned when To Kill A Petty Bourgeoisie's " In Peoples' Homes " first appeared, the track's upbeat sweetness is a far outlier from the core of the Minneapolis BTW 's chilly, ambient, and often sinister second album Marlone . But for two minutes TKAPB are briefly uplifting, the warmth of a cello and Jehna Wilheim voice filtering through a hallway of distortion like sun on an icy morning. The video reflects the wholesome, clear-yet-clanging vibe by presenting the band on the road -- in cars and diners and onstage -- focused at first, later lost in slow [...]
To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie - The Needle This video gives me the heebie-jeebies. But I flippin' love it. I was thinking about waiting till Halloween to post this video but today is as good as any other.

Ambient psych folk gaze rockers To Kill A Petty Bourgeoisie have a video for the single "The Needle" off of their newest record on Kranky , Marlone . They take the road of old school German Expressionist films like The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari and make a (mostly) black and white video with lots of layers, shadows, and tons of shit that doesn't make any sense. Floating letters + skulls + sledgehammers + horseback riders = SUCCESS!
