Sexy is a Battlefield. Sexy will be victorious

Jul 13, 2006, 10:07pm whiteboydancefloor

As always the follow up efforts to an extremely successful album for any band is difficult and what results is a nervous wait for an avid fan to endure. The Eagles of Death Metal are the kind of the band they run the tightrope of stupidity so delicately and perfectly that it's difficult not to like them. However, one puff of wind and whammy! you've fallen off the tightrope into the wagon, fallen off the wagon and into the grace and then you've fallen from grace and people want to crap on your face. So worried [...]

Clap Your Hands Say Sydney!

Jul 11, 2006, 5:55am whiteboydancefloor

MP3: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! - Upon This Tidal Wave Of Young Blood Jangly indie rock kids Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! are finally coming to Australia. Remember them? When the Brooklyn bands' debut LP dropped it set off the collective hard-ons of bloggers and music critics alike everywhere, and believe it or not, had the substance to back the hype. CYHSY will be playing at Splendour in the Grass, but that is sold out so you can catch them at Rebel Rebel (thats at Home Cockle Bay btw) [...]

In Search Of 1988

Jul 6, 2006, 10:14pm whiteboydancefloor

MP3: Ozma - New Song #1 MP3: Ozma - New Song #2 When Ozma announced they were reuniting earlier in the year, I went nuts. These guys from So-Cal are Synth pop nerds who make emotive and catchy anthems for the generation weened on Nintendo 8-Bit consoles. Apparently they split in back 2004 because of differences with their drummer, who has been given the arse in their latest incarnation. They are currently working on a new record due out in 2007, which they claim will be more 'futuristic'. Interesting. In [...]

Del Piero smells

Jul 4, 2006, 11:34pm whiteboydancefloor

The Italian diving, I mean football team are somehow through to the World Cup final, after beating what we all thought was a bet-your-house-on-it-chance-to -win-the-whole-thing Germany. Norton Street was going off apparently, and Australians everywhere were even further lamenting what could have been if Grosso did not take that dive. Oh well, the wbdf crew are behind Portugal to do the job and knock both the Bleu and Azzuri off. MP3: Panica - Bezerk [...]

Out with the New in with the Old

Jul 4, 2006, 3:15am whiteboydancefloor

Everyone is so concerned with being fresh, new, cutting edge, fashionable, new skool, rare skool, gay skool... whatever. Rather than constantly pumping you full of new shit, Whiteboydancefloor seeks a balance. Rather than getting too over the top in the rigged world cup, feeding you news about whats going to be the best of the worst mainstream pop going round. We're going to keep our integrity and keep our legs closed (i dont even know wat my points was there). But i propose to give you the most vintage soul, and the most underrated [...]

Acid House Kings

Jul 2, 2006, 9:53pm whiteboydancefloor

MP3: Acid House Kings - Keep Your Love Swedish music has always tickled my fancy, as well as the Swedish furniture that adorns my bedroom, those lovely Swedish lasses and that Swedish car I have parked in my driveway. I dont know what it is about the place, but they have a knack of making the best of everything with a touch of quirkyness. One example of Swedish bliss are Acid House Kings, who have been doing their power-guitar-pop thing for over a decade. They are about [...]

Nick The Stripper

Jun 28, 2006, 9:13pm whiteboydancefloor

VIDEO: The Birthday Party - Nick The Stripper I don't think I would be out of line if i said that Nick Cave is one of the most important Australian artists we have ever seen. His music has had such an impact with his incredible narratives and stark songwriting with his Bad Seeds over the best part of two decades. Nick's first band The Birthday Party were a raw and ferocious post-punk assault, and as he said himself, they sounded 'evil'. Sure they did, but their charm comes about from the fact [...]

What's an Xquabed?

Jun 27, 2006, 11:13pm whiteboydancefloor

Much like the Eagles of Death Metal, Xquabed are a band who line up with a drummer of high credentials. Lucretia Lead Singer & Sydney heart throb The artist currently known as Javid VDP has come together with an all-star line up featuring Slick Popping Daddy Mick on bass guitar and frontman The Shaker Maker Mean Dean , what at first would seem like an unlikely trio has turned out to produce some very unisen & colloborative noises. A real trump card in the Xquabed arsenal (haha arsenal...funny anyone?) is first time frontman [...]

Baile Funk Bootlegging

Jun 26, 2006, 11:19pm whiteboydancefloor

MP3: Bonde Das Impostora - Fotologger I was listening to Fat Planet the other day on FBI on the way home from work and Stuart played this track which made me dance like a fool while I was trying to drive. Iv'e recently really taken a shine to Baile Funk, a native Brazilian genre fused with the spirit of samba laced with grimey beats, random samples and bold South American raps. 'Toxic' is a pretty great song on its own, but the Britney sample sounds so fantastic [...]

Return of the King!

Jun 25, 2006, 11:43pm whiteboydancefloor

Sorry about the hiatus whiteboydancefloor faithful. Exams are finished for both the whiteboydancefloor crew and we're ready to start squeezing it daily again. So I thought what better way to start than with the 5 worst albums of the last few months. Weeks even. So lets get it started! 5. A.F.I - December Underground For a band that could promise to deliver an album as brilliant as Sing the Sorrow , It saddens me to say that A.F.I have gone down their own yellow wood and with [...]

Hey everyone... Whiteboydancefloor are not squeezing it daily at the moment due to exams. Expect it all to be back in full swing on Wednesday / Thursday. We're currently going through some administrational and structural reassessing to make whiteboydancefloor bigger, better and more squeezable.

Be Your Own Pet on Conan, Linus Loves someone who isn't Lucy

Jun 16, 2006, 10:07am whiteboydancefloor

MP3: Linus Loves - Rock Chk MYSPACE : Linus Loves I didn't know of any other artists on Mylo's Breastfed imprint until I discovered this chap from Glasgow. Linus Loves aka Duncan Reid is a producer who you probabaly remember from that mix of 'In My Arms' that was on every DJ's playlist last year. Influenced by the sounds of 80's new wave, pop and electronica, Linus Loves delivers retro-edged yet [...]

Feel the force...

Jun 14, 2006, 1:32am whiteboydancefloor

MP3 : DragonForce - Through The Fire and Flames Forget The Darkness , the band that everyone should be taking notice of that references the glory days of 80's metal/hard rock are clearly DragonForce . These guys from London are only a relatively recent signing to the Roadrunner stable despite a few indie releases, and probabaly are their trump card with a main stage spot at Ozzfest '06 and brnad new album on the way. 'Through the Fire and Flames' delivers some serious staccato guitar riffage ,soaring vocals ala Bruce Dickinson [...]

Its only the group stage, but who cares?

Jun 13, 2006, 7:35am whiteboydancefloor

Wow. First off, I can't believe the Socceroos are in the Cup. Second of all, I can't believe we beat Japan. Convincingly. We dominated possession, and although it was far from a perfect performance, the boys smacked them. Tim Cahil, give that kid a pay rise Everton. 3-1, bring on Brazil! MP3: Freedom of Thought - Green and Gold The merits of this track have been debated ad nauseum in the press over the past few weeks. The selection of the official Socceroos team song. SBS ran a competition [...]

All in the family

Jun 8, 2006, 10:25pm whiteboydancefloor

MP3 : Shapes And Sizes - Wilderness Don't laugh at their press photo, no wait, yeah laugh because it is pretty funny, but don't judge them on it. Shapes and Sizes are from British Columbia and their folky brand of indie pop is in truth quite stunning. One of their several vocalists sounds suspiciously like Dan Bejar of Destroyer fame (it isn't him) whilst their subtle horn and guitar-laden textures make them slow-burning gems. Their self-titled LP is out on the 11th July through the kids at [...]

Trash N' Treasure

Jun 8, 2006, 1:25am whiteboydancefloor

So much time and so little to say. Rarely before on whiteboydancefloor do we concern ourselves with throwing around props to an overall record label (death from above and modular records being exceptions). Even the greatest of labels have their weaknesses (wolfmother). However, the stable of acts on show from west hollywood record label Eenie Meenie Records is nothing short of impressive. Before my chance encounter with this record label, never before had I heard any of the bands they were [...]

YoYoYoYoYo

Jun 6, 2006, 9:18pm whiteboydancefloor

Did anyone else catch VH1's celebration of all things metal yesterday? I thought it was pretty good, they covered plenty of ground, however most bands from outside the US and UK were overlooked. They played plenty of Sabbath and Iron Maiden which made me a happy man. MP3: Spank Rock - Backyard Betty Spank Rock really rocks my socks. The impression you get from listening to this off-the-wall rapper from Philly and his caustic production [...]
