Johnnie Cluney Last post before the holidays! And it comes courtesy of the ever-lovin' Daytrotter , who've managed to wrangle a studio session of soon-to-be holiday classics from the animated miscreants of Aqua Teen Hunger Force . If the idea of Shake, Meatwad and Carl celebrating the season in song doesn't do it for you, well I'm sorry, I don't want to know you. And no, I don't know where Frylock is - maybe he doesn't celebrate Christmas. Or sing. Or both. And for context, the Aqua Teen Hunger Force [...]

If it's fair to look at groups like Times New Viking as the catalysts of the current overflow of lo-fi groups pervading the indie scene, then it should be equally fair to look to Hercules and Love Affair as the modern influence of groups like Via Audio . The band will be releasing their sophomore album Animalore this coming March. The first preview of that album comes in the form of "Babies" a typically boisterous cut of disco funk influences, with porno synths and the most direct love making reference this side of an R. Kelly song, [...]

Via Audio caused a nice little stir when they released their debut album, Say Something , a couple years ago. They had indie heavyweights like Spoon's Jim Eno and DCFC's Chris Walla in there corner. Eno producing both the debut and this new release and Walla publicly stating that Via Audio was his favorite new band. We're on board too. We've had the band through for a session and a couple shows and have made [...]

Who : Yeasayer Title : Odd Blood Release Date : February 9th, 2010 Label : Secretly Canadian Thoughts : Back in 2007 when all the hoopla surrounding Yeasayer first broke we had a tough time getting into their trippy version indie rock. Sure, "2080" was one of the catchiest songs of the year but beyond that one shining example we didn't find much in the sound of the band to be [...]

I first ran across Via Audio when they opened for David Bazan at the The Billiken Club last year. I enjoyed their debut LP, Say Something , and I've been eagerly awaiting some new material. Looks like the wait is over as Via Audio will be releasing Animalore on February 23 via Undertow Music . Sounds like Jessica Martins and the boys are turning up the [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News During a break between songs Monday night at Brooklyn, N.Y.'s Bell House, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin guitarist Will Knauer began absentmindedly picking out a melody on his Telecaster. After a few bars, the tune took shape and the audience -- led by Via Audio singer Jessica Martins, who had somehow commandeered a microphone -- sang a rousing chorus of 'A Whole New World,' Peabo Bryson's contribution to 1992's ' Aladdin ' soundtrack. Whether staged or impromptu, the [...]

Another Brooklyn band you say!? Shut up! No I will not! Yet another Brooklyn band, Via Audio , are dropping their second full length album in the early part of 2010. The album is called Animalore and features this single "Babies". It sort of falls into the dance craze crowd, but it's also quite the pop jam. You can get your hands on the band's new album Februaru 23rd via Undetow Music . Download: Via Audio - Babies [MP3]

I'd like to start the work week off with something both smooth and upbeat. Enter Via Audio with a retro-heavy amalgamation of funk and easy listening. I'm particularly fond of that Floyd-esque synth solo about 2 1/2 minutes in. Methinks the week just got more inviting. MP3: Via Audio - Babies [Off Animalore , out February 23rd.]

Via Audio photographed by Anthony Lanzilote Brooklyn's Via Audio, featuring Jessica Martins, Tom Deis, David Lizmi and Adam Sturtevant, released their debut, Say Something , in 2007. After being introduced to them in 2007 by Matt Morello of the Brooklyn punk band Mr. Dream and seeing them live a couple of times, including at CMJ, I was struck by an arrow. Their smooth, clean pop songs can be kooky as easily as they can be gutwrenching. Led by Martins, co-lead singer and all-around ball of energy, [...]
