The first time I heard World's End Press , I was at Falls Festival for New Year's Eve and I almost randomly ended up in front of the scene while they were playing. I usually do not believe in chance, and that day I certainly did not, because there is inevitably a reason why I ended up in front of that stage that night and fell in love straight away. Their music is epic, but when it comes to their shows it's hectic!! They have this kind of magnetism that makes you feel spaced out right away. [...]
Décidément, le début de cette nouvelle décennie s'annonce d'ores et déjà très excitant. C'est au tour des londoniens de We Have Band d'annoncer leur toute première mouture. Après un agile enchaînement de quatre singles aussi excitants que convaincants (Oh, Hear It In The Cans, Time After Time et You Came Out), le trio anglais a pris le temps pour travailler sur l'album qui leur permettra de dépasser le stade de hype éphémère. Leur prestation à la before de la Nuit Electro qui se déroulait au Showcase nous avait d'ailleurs laisser une très bonne impression. Le groupe [...]
We Have Band are a trio from London who create insanely infectious dance jams. The track "You Came Out" has such a great bass line it's impossible not to get hooked. Stream it below or check out the brand new video . Also, the previous single "Oh"...
East Village resident by way of Canada Andrea Grant aka The Pin-Up Poet, a multi-talented, multi-jobbed sort of artist is having a party tomorrow night at Le Poisson Rouge to celebrate the publishing of her newest work (both photos and words which, of course, we only read for the words), alongside featured photographers who worked on the book, various noteworthy kids and, er, us. See for yourselves what sort of radness can happen (as if you really need to ask) when various models, photographers, geeks like us and lots of alcohol and laughter mix together. Something [...]

![The West End Girls: Finally, An A*Teens-Styled Tribute To The Pet Shop Boys [Fake Can Be Just As Good]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1631424_lg.jpg)
I assumed that I would enjoy any group that takes its name from a Pet Shop Boys song, but I had no idea that there was a Swedish female pop duo out there performing nothing but Pet Shop Boys covers. Thank you, West End Girls , for making my head explode with joy. The duo has existed since October 2005 and has reached No. 3 on the Swedish pop charts, which I clearly don't spend enough time following. Regardless of past mistakes, there's still time for [...]
Seriously, what's not to like about WestEndGirls ? For starters Isabelle is the daughter of Hans Erkendahl from The Mobile Homes , that makes them SECOND GENERATION SYNTHPOP!!! Who'd have thunk such a thing would ever exist? Secondly, crazy dresses Swedish girls covering, exclusively, Pet Shop Boys songs...duh?!?! Well, 'covering, exclusively, Pet Shop Boys songs', until recently. Now the girls are ready to release an original tune...written by Pet Shop Boys, how convenient! the track was originally going to be part of their 2001 musical 'Closer to Heaven' but never [...]
The West End Girls' version of "A Little Black Dress" can be streamed here (if a song doesn't start to play, click the green button). Proper post in a little bit!
(Please do not post this song link elsewhere.) A BIG thank you to every one who stuck around through my year end countdown. As a gift of gratitude, I'd like to offer up a brand new song straight out of the von der Burg studios. "Get It Out" is the debut single of the former Swedish Idol contestant who caught our ears with "Blackout" late last year (which isn't yet released). I quibbled with Alex last year when he asked why September-like songs were being given to artists other than September, [...]
We have 2009 and London/Manchester trio We Have Band , have a brave cover from the Buffet Libre Dj's REWIND covers project, ' West End Girls ', by pop geniuses, Pet Shop Boys . They sing this so effortlessly, I don't mind it being a cover at all. In fact, I'm rather glad they chose Pet Shop Boys to cover; perfect timing with PSB's 'revival.' As 2008 neared its final months, there was a plethora of music that I didn't get around to mentioning, including, We Have Band's debut single, ' Oh! ', released [...]
Throwaway Saturday, as I have a million errands to run. 1. Bjork - Human Behavior (Underworld Mix) 2. Little Shop of Horrors (soundtrack) - Somewhere That's Green 3. Mountain Goats - Anti Music Song 4. West End Girls - West End Girls (Pet Shop Boys) 5. Wolf Parade - You Are A Runner and I Am My Father's Son
Sometimes being fabulous is seriously compromised by your day job -- that's where I am right now. I'll say no more than that, for discretion's sake (and the fact that I want to keep said day job), but suffice it to say that I'm totes happy it's Friday. Seriously. The one thing that's kept me sane for the past few days is the new album from Rubicks , In Miniature (due out Aug. 14) -- this of course, would be what I wanted to post yesterday when my [...]
