[Photos by acidjack] Yellow Ostrich was the first band I saw last year , at this same venue ( Mercury Lounge ). Back then, the band consisted of creative mastermind and frontman Alex Schaaf and drummer Michael Tapper, working hard to produce an on-stage re-recreation of the simple magic of the band's then-current release, The Mistress . That record was one of those inde gems you might miss if you didn't pay attention to the CMJ showcase circuit and the right blogs; it was a lo-fi, low-profile recording offered on Schaaf's [...]
A new video came out last week for Yellow Ostrich 's "Marathon Runner" off Strange Land (Barsuk) featuring creepy kids in masks. Directed by Matthew Lessner - this video feels like a blast from the past with vague reference to what I believe is Freddie Kreuger or the Hulk- in short, it rules.

I've watched this video for Yellow Ostrich's excellent song "Marathon Runner" a few times now, and I'm not sure I get it. Then again, maybe there's nothing to get. Or maybe I'm not cool enough. Doesn't really matter, because it's got kids on bikes and gold masks and sweet martial arts moves and and an [...]

Brand new music video from Yellow Ostrich for "Marathon Runner." Directed by Matthew Lessner.

We've been following Yellow Ostrich for a number of years now. In fact Alex Schaaf was one of the first musicians to get in contact with us, that was back in the day when his project was called The Chairs. My how times have changed. Alex, the bedroom musician, is now a trio with Michael Tapper and Jon Natchez and the band is signed to the coveted Barsuk Records with two full length albums under their belt. The addition of two more musicians has been a good one for the overall sound of the band. [...]

I’d had a terrible day at work, my kickball team lost its game, it was freezing out. When I got to the Black Cat, I was stuck standing behind a pole, I didn’t have time to buy a drink, and I was hungry. Yellow Ostrich STILL rocked my socks. First, they were punctual. On at 10:02 with a set-time of 10:00. Not bad, Guys. Second they were so adorable. The lead singer literally sprinted on stage, said two words of welcome, and then the three of them just jammed with smiles on their [...]
Emergency style adjustments need to made this weekend. Currently scouring eBay for one of those steezed out American flag windbreaker/jacket garments, along with a gold-plated incognito mask. Outfit just oozes power. Actually now that I think of it, a certain teenage phenomenon pulled off half of this look a few months back and killed the game. Anyways, incognito masks aside - this song continues to blow me away. You'd think in today's age of complete musical attention deficit disorder I'd move on after a month or two of listening to the same song (hit the original post here), but I [...]

Remember " Marathon Runner ," the audibly overwhelming (but in the most pleasant way possible) song by Yellow Ostrich ? The distracted quality of the song has been translated into some somewhat unsettling visuals. Kids are shown with glittery masks and claws getting up to know good, but probably nothing compared to the hoodrat shit you got into as kids, right? Check it out below. ( Prefix )

O trio indie-rock de Brooklyn Yellow Ostrich , formado por Alex Schaaf, Michael Tapper e Jon Natchez, publicou no início de Março o seu quarto álbum Strange Land , sucessor de Wild Comfort e The Mistress , ambos lançados no prolífico ano de 201o. "Marathon Runner" é o inspirado primeiro single, uma amostra de rock delicado e sacarino com a voz de rapazinho de Schaaf, a impor-se com um twist de atitude rebelde entre baixos musculados, guitarras cruas fervilhantes e baterias tumultuosas. Vejam o vídeo realizado por Matthew Lessner, que acaba de sair. [...]

Yellow Ostrich I must admit, I have been remiss in not posting about Yellow Ostrich until now. I have been a fan of Alex Schaaf's bedroom pop project since The Mistress debuted on bandcamp and I've also been enjoying the new record, Strange Land , which came out last month on Barsuk. If you're reading this now, it's probably too late to catch them tonight ( April 12 ) at The Mercury Lounge, but they'll be [...]
