A première écoute, on les aurait plutôt classés du côté australien mais les quatre membres de The Yolks sont français. Il y a trois mois, les parisiens lançaient leur premier EP sur toutes les plates-formes légales au format CD et Digital. Avec le titre Stop Working (écoutable à la suite de l'article), The Yolks distille une pop complètement barrée. Le reste de l'EP est écoutable sur leur myspace. Stop Working - The Yolks
- T'as vu ça ? - Quoi ? - Ben le truc là ! La planète HAT-P-7b ! - Hein ? http quoi ? - Pas http, HAT-P-7b ! C'est une planète qui tourne autour de l'étoile HAT-P-7... - Ça y est, tu recommences à parler en Canal+ crypté ! T'es malade ? - Mais non, c'est toi qui comprend rien ! C'est une planète de la constellation du Cygne, à plus de 1000 années-lumière de la terre, qu'on a découvert par la méthode du transit... [...]
Benevento/Russo Duo : Another instrumental take here, this one they dedicate to The Slip's Brad Barr. Speaking of which, you can find another great rendition of this song on the LMA that in addition to The Duo, features Andrew Barr & Marc Friedman from The Slip. Source: 7-4-2003 Brothers Past : Most of the covers are pretty to-the-point this week, thankfully we have Brothers Past to extend their take to the 10-minute mark before dropping into their next song. A nice recording of these guys. Source: [...]
What started out a back-to-basics project has turned into one of the coolest, most forward-thinking American metal bands of this decade. Considering the other musical projects of Mick Barr and Colin Marston, it's not much of a surprise that the guitarists are taken aback by all the attention their band Krallice has received over the last year and a half. After all, these guys have never, ever specialized in any kind of music that would remotely fall under the description, "accessible". You've got avant-garde noodler Barr, who has lent his fleet-fingered shredding and tremolo picking to...
photos by Lori Baily , words by BBG Krallice at Union Pool, replete with stage invaders Almost no music is more ripe for renovation than black metal, with its hyper mannerisms, its flamboyant obscurantism, its single-mood monotony. Some recent American bands have been doing just that, without Satanism, face paint or bad aesthetics. Krallice , a New York City band with an excellent new record, "Dimensional Bleedthrough" (Profound Lore), takes some of black metal's conventions - its blast beats and guitar [...]

On Friday longtime favorites Krallice played to a very packed Union Pool, along with the duo Orphan and fellow NYC black metal crews Malkuth and Liturgy. I'd just put on a Halloween show with Krallice and Malkuth, so I timed my arrival to catch Krallice celebrating the release of their great second album Dimensional Bleedthrough . Because of the quartet's endless multi-tasking -- drummer Lev Weinstein's in Bloody Panda, Mick Barr is Mick Barr, Colin Marston plays in Dysrhythmia, Behold... The Arctopus, Gorguts, etc., and is an active producer -- you see the guys out [...]
Play-list ne recule devant rien ! Pressentant les problèmes que le vaccin anti grippe A allaient poser, un playlister a courageusement vécu l'enfer du syndrome de Guillain-Barré suite à une vaccination contre l'hépatite (A ou B, impossible de se rappeler). Voici son récit. ********** Lundi. Une putain de migraine depuis quelques jours. J'ai pourtant rien bu, chose exceptionnelle. C'est peut-être ça le problème ? Je me sens crevé... Comme si j'avais transporté des armoires remplies d'éléphants toute la nuit. Et ces picotements au bout des doigts et des orteils, c'est sacrément [...]
Il y a un petit moment déjà paraît-il que le leader de Art Brut, Eddie Argos s'éclate avec sa copine Dyan Valdes (clavier de The Blood Arm) dans le projet un peu barré de Everybody Was In The French Resistance… Now! ; et ce qui n'aurait pu être qu'une blague va accoucher le 25 Janvier prochain d'un vrai LP intitulé 'Fixin' The Charts'. De la pop, de l'humour, et de l'absurde seront au programme dans cette entreprise de "fixage des charts" où Argos s'est attaché à corriger les erreurs des pop songs passées en détournant des titres de chansons [...]
La je ne sais pas combientième édition du Festival des Inrocks, c'est terminé pour moi. J'ai trouvé cette cuvée 2009 plutôt bonne mais pas enthousiasmante... J'étais assez excité par ce tout nouveau concept de pass « Cigale/Boule noire » comme si qu'on était à un festival d'été (exceptée la route du rock malouine), sans temps mort. Résultat des courses: on voit plus de groupes, on en rate aussi, soit complètement (Passion Pit, Chew Lips) soit en partie ( Black Lips, Florence & The Machine, Amanda Blank), on court tout le temps et on n'a pas trop [...]
Ah, wanderly wagon. A children's show from those days where a vignette about snakes and ladders could prove as terrifyingly existential as a one-act Samuel Beckett play. And, as we all know, life sometimes still feels like a fucked up game of snakes and ladders with a know-it-all prick of a crow cackling 'I told you so' over your shoulder. (Aside - If there was an Irish 'Neon Indian', he'd swipe the theme tune to wanderly wagon and fucking run with it for ever, the chillwave cunt. Hey, wait...I'm just kidding Neon. Come back please, I need [...]
SUPERPRODUCER E05 : Dorian Gay Deve esserci qualcosa in Francia, qualcosa che rende il popolo di questa nazione più capace di esprimersi sulla forma breve, stravolgerla senza tanti ghirigori e fare cose divertenti. Vincent Moon, la blogoteca, e adesso questo Superpartner che nasce dalla mente del regista Jonathan Barré e si incarna nella personalità e naturalezza di Gonzales. Pianista, produttore, musicista a tutto tondo in questa micro serie di piccole pillole da 5 minuti incarna i panni di un paradossale Superproducer a servizio di volta in volta di personaggi sempre [...]
Scotland Barr passed away September 1st after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer. His last album with the Slow Drags, All the Aviators Agree , found its way on to many reviewers top album list for 2008 with its combination of Americana, British Invasion, southern rock and West Coast pop. The band was feverishly working on a new double album to be titled (unironically at the time) We Will Be Forgotten . Four stupendous songs have been released and can be found linked below. The band, unable to tour without their leader, [...]
photos by Leia Jospe "When you hear the stories that after Hisham Bharoocha left [ Lightning Bolt ] to form Black Dice , Chippendale took over vocals by jamming the microphone into his mouth, it all seems to make perfect sense. Lightning Bolt concentrate their efforts around the sheer propulsion and energy their music drives off. And while Chippendale has always been an excellent drummer, the vocals he provides here and there open up the sounds in immense manners. On the forever moving [...]

Recommended Show: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2009 LIGHTNING BOLT @ ABOVE THE AUTO PARTS STORE 600 Bushwick Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11206 $12, 8PM In terms of noisier bands, this might not only be the place to be tonight, but could potentially be the most anticipated show of the year. Lightning Bolt are one of those bands from the scene to really break to something bigger, and they're joined by Black Dice, Mick Barr, and TV Ghost. If noise isn't your thing, check out other events after the jump. Sigmund Droid @ Lit Palomar [...]

by BBG DOWNLOAD: Megasus - "Paladin Vs. Berserker" (MP3) Although he plays (an oddly outfitted) bass in Lightning Bolt , Brian Gibson is the DRUMMER for Megasus . While Lightning Bolt toils in the outer reaches of spazzy noise, Megasus is an entirely different animal (pun!), resembling something closer to High On Fire than Boredoms. The Providence band self-released their [...]
Back in early 2008, Marco Benevento set-up a Thursday night residency at Sullivan Hall that featured a series of killer combos and collaborations including: Andrew Barr, Billy Martin, Bobby Previte, Brad Barr, DJ Olive, G. Calvin Weston, Reed Mathis, Joe Russo, John Ellis, Kaki King, Marc Friedman, Skerik, Stanton Moore, and Steven Bernstein. Shine A Light Productions captured it all on film and just recently completed a DVD of the events entitled "Marco Benevento (& Friends): Live In NYC: The Sullivan Hall Residency." Here's a little video teaser they put together for the [...]
It's no secret that many of our readers have had plenty of spirited discussions over the last few months, or maybe years, discussing what classic album Phish would cover at the next Halloween show. The concept of this live "Musical Costume" was launched by Phish on Halloween in 1994 when they performed The Beatles White Album in its entirety. Errr, except Good Night which was played over the PA system. And while Phish has done it three additional times - and a fourth if you include Dark Side Of The Moon on November 2nd, 1998 in Utah - they have [...]
