[It's Bjork's birthday on Saturday, celebrate appropriately. Here's my late-arriving weekend rundown:] Tonight: Alan Palomo's Neon Indian [pictured; download below] brings its multimedia synthscapes to the Echoplex for a night of cool electro that includes Keenhouse , Tigercity and Little Red Radio . ... Julian Casablancas hits downtown's Palace Theatre for Week 3 of his residency. ... Party guys Iglu & Hartly try to build on their U.K. buzz with a show in their home city at [...]
William DeVaughn is quite possibly the coolest cat to remind us to be thankful for what we've got-way better than hearing mom chastise us for being a spoiled brat who refuses to eat meatloaf for dinner. Lo and behold, a suspect dinner was the least of it. There really are starving kids in Africa, and right here at home too (wherever home may be). And while we should be grateful for all we have, the best thing to do is spread the wealth-even if it's not financial. If you're looking to give back during the holidays, [...]
Silver Columns I am not sure if it is still hush as to who Silver Columns actually, in case it is let's just say that they're two well known faces from Fence Collective . More importantly what you need to know is that they sound amazing, imagine Jimmy Somerville fronting Hot Chip and you're half way there. Their debut single, 'Brow Beaten' is free to download over at the NME , while you can grab a copy of their remix of Peter, Bjorn & John's 'It Don't Move Me' from their [...]

Peter Bjorn and John are finally back with their own headlining show after opening for Depeche Mode at the Hollywood Bowl! Peter Bjorn and John will be playing this Saturday, November 21st at Club Nokia in support of their latest...
San Diego, CA I cannot get enough of Lights On and I'm happy to hear they'll be putting out a new EP in early 2010. Tonight they're playing in their hometown of San Diego at the House of Blues with Peter, Bjorn And John and then again on Saturday in L.A. at the Nokia Theater. With tracks like "John And Ann" it's easy to see why they were snatched up as an opening act for PB&J. "John And Ann" [...]
The past couple of weeks have brought about some great remixes from some great acts. I haven't been able to keep up on them through the show and sometimes a single track doesn't feel like enough to warrant its own post so here are a handful of the more interesting remixes that have made their way to the inbox... Eli Escobar - Glass House (XXXChange's Yoga Mom In A Blender Mix) Basement Jaxx - Raindrops (Joker & Ginz Remix) Fever Ray - When I Grow Up (Scuba's High [...]

Toronto - After a few years hiatus, Sambassadeur are coming back with their new album, entitled European (out in February). It has been two years since this Swedish band graced us with the sweet twee/folk pop stylings and I am definitely one of those people excited to hear their new material. The folks at their record label Labrador have provided us with one of the songs off this album, simply entitled "Days". Check it out.

The Swedes took over the HOB on Saturday as Swedish indie supergroup Peter, Bjorn & John and El Perro Del Mar took to the stage. I had seen both acts before and both did pretty well in front of what was a pretty sparse HOB crowd, but the show was also not quite mind-blowing either. This was a self-proclaimed 10th anniversary tour from PB&J, but I'm not sure that really added anything to the mix. They hit some high points and had the regular PB&J energy to bring a solid show to the HOB. [...]

'Tis the season of giving, and today I have another charity project that could use your support. In previous weeks I've written about the Playing For Change project and Funk Aid for Africa . Today I want to share news about a benefit album that just came out today titled Indie Rocks! A Benefit Album For Malaria No More . It's been put together by RED Distribution , and its aim is to raise money for the organization Malaria No More [...]
Last week I caught my favorite Swedish pop band, Peter Bjorn and John 's show at Webster Hall. PBJ hit the stage with an all-star cast that included El Perro Del Mar , Spank Rock , U-N-I , Matt Sweeney and Andrew WK in what felt like a Monday night variety show! The onstage collaborations were great but the duet with El Perro Del Mar for Young Folks was the highlight of the set as well as Andrew WK's puzzling interpretive dancing. [...]

PBJ hit the stage with an all-star cast that included El Perro Del Mar, Spank Rock, U-N-I, Matt Sweeney and Andrew WK in what fell like a Monday night variety show! The onstage collaborations were great but the duet with El Perro Del Mar for Young Folks was the highlight of the set as well as Andrew WK's puzzling interpretive dancing. My only complaint was the omission of Up Against [...]
Swedish indie pop sensation El Perro Del Mar's new album Love Is Not Pop , which was released in the US by The Control Group on October 20th, has gotten a pretty positive response from the music critic community (Redefine gave it A-). And for good reason, Love Is Not Pop proved she can be consistent and create perfectly crafted pop music without being generic or repetitive. As if last year's From the Valley to the Stars wasn't proof enough that she can be minimalistic with soaring pop influence, this album solidified it. [...]
Drums Play Spaceland Monday Night (and It's Free) Ray Davies put on a fantastic show on Saturday night at the Orpheum. If you get a chance to see him on this tour do not hesitate. More on that later. Another great week this week. If you're into buzz bands you might want to check out Drums tonight, The Big Pink on Wednesday, Tape Deck Mountain on Thursday, Neon Indian on Friday and The XX on Saturday. Some of those will be good, but I'm recommending a variety of [...]
