I played "Lifted" on Saturday's show and a few people have mentioned how it sounds almost African. I agree with that vibe and would also like to say that it sounds AWESOME. The EP, Pure Moods, is coming out March 5th via True Panther. The whole thing sounds like bottled sunshine and "Banana Republic" is one of my favorite songs right now. Anything to help with these mid-winter blues... Download "Lifted" as well as remixes of two tracks from the band's previous effort: Lemonade - Lifted Lemonade - Big Weekend (Delorean Remix) [...]
Poster Art by Jared Silbert We've been somewhat absent on the live events side of things lately, but it's not for a lack of irons in fires (or pots on stovetops, or, you get the idea). In any event, before our big South by Southwest shindig in March, we're hosting a free happy hour show during Noise Pop. It's a great all-local lineup that's guaranteed to be a ton of fun. The Bay Bridged Presents: A Noise Pop Happy Hour featuring [...]
Blah blah here's some new albums. Nothing really stands out to me and I'm too tired to make snarky comments on how the new Sade album will probably make me more tired than I already am right now. Peace. :: Allison Moorer , Crows (Rykodisc) :: AM , Future Sons & Daughters (Filter) :: Angelo Spencer , Et Les Hauts Sommets (K) :: Animal Liberation Orchestra , Man of the World (Brushfire) :: [...]
Allow me to introduce the latest release on Song, by Toad Records: Maxwell Panther's debut album Do You Feel Different Yet? I know we are more known as a grass roots label who try and nurture local talent (assuming we're 'known' for anything at all, that is), but before the eminently Scottish and highly anticipated releases from Cold Seeds and Meursault later in the year I have two album by non-Scots whose work deserves a lot more than to be lost in the more immediately local focus we tend to engender. One of those albums is [...]
A list of recommended events taking place over the next seven days in Dublin. Lots of great local lineups this week around town with a couple more Haiti benefits as well as recommended international gigs from Beach House (sold out), Tune-Yards, Breakage (Roots Manuva and Burial appear on his forthcoming album - hear his Roots and Flying Lotus collaborations below), DMX Krew, Midlake, The Leisure Society and more.

Best Coast's Bobb Bruno & Bethany Cosentino Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Far too many exceptional shows last week including last night's NO CANCER! Benefit show with No Age , Vivian Girls , Best Coast , Graham Forest , Darker My Love and more. I do believe Bethany from Best Coast 's performance as one of their most entertaining yet. [...]
Cosmic tunes for the party tonight One of our favourite tracks last year was Acid Washed's night-riding funk "General Motors, Detroit, America". After releasing their first EP, Acid Washed, the Parisian mysterious duo, are about to release their debut album, entitled simply "Acid Washed", out on March 19th on Record Makers. Collaboration is the key to Acid Washed: holding a list of musicians with labels and artists such as Gavin Russom (aka Black Meteoric Star), Christian Kreuz (Get Physical), Arnaud Rebotini of Blackstrobe, Turzi (Record Makers), Barbara Panther, and Christophe [...]
Lemonade is back with a refreshing new sound. The trio from Brooklyn is releasing a new EP at the beginning of March as the follow up to their immensely enjoyable self-titled debut album - and by now we hope you know how the internet world works. If something is going to be released next month, you can have the whole deal now (or at least the tasty bits). So what about listening to this flavorish mix of influences that is their new single right now? Just check the video below (you can also download the [...]
A few days ago, Nneka performed "Heartbeat" live on David Letterman Show . She was there to promote her debut album on the USA "Concrete Jungle" . This album is a mix between her two european CDs "Victim Of Truth" and "No Longer At Ease". --- Nneka , que l'on connait en France depuis quelques années déjà, a 2 albums "européens" à son actif "Victim Of Truth" (sorti en 2005) et "No Longer At Ease" (sorti en 2008). Je précise "européens" car cette jeune métisse, née d'un père nigérian et d'une mère [...]
I often take great pleasure in being contrary; if most of the blogoshere says that 2+2=4 there's half a chance I'll say it's 5 (because on occasion it is...*). Every so often, however, I find myself agreeing with the throng. The new Maxwell Panther LP Do You Feel Different Yet? has just been released on Song, by Toad Records , and every single review that I've read makes quite a fuss of the production values. Everyone appears to be reveling in the low-fi nature of the recording, so naturally I'd made up my mind [...]
Nuestros amigos Lemonade estrenan video y single, nuevo EP "Pure Moods" en True Panther para marzo! Via Pitchfork .
Parisian mystery duo Acid Washed released their debut single 'General motors, Detroit, America' a few months back now. It's a hypnotic, space disco, little number that's bound to be playing in chill out rooms across the country, as it's the perfect track to let your heart beat calm down to. However the video was officially released only recently. A mesmerizing exercise in Op Art for the French electronica outfit by acclaimed British graphic designer and director Anthony Burrill , with the help of his regular filmmaking collaborator Paul Plowman and Zac Ella. The video has had mixed [...]
Back in the 1960's and 70's, girl groups rocked the landscape of popular music by combining their musical chops, their harmonies, and their feminist lyrics to create just the right kind of sexual revolution for the times. These girls weren't about to stand in the background and act as their mothers had, they wanted to be seen and heard and listened to for once. They made a statement for themselves and helped push forth reform and improved rights for women all over the place. Now that the sound of those rocking pioneers is back in style it's hard [...]

We've reached February, shockingly enough, and it's the Hallmark month of Love. Luckily I won't have to concern myself with Vermont Teddy Bears and outlandishly priced roses again this year, but that doesn't mean I can't get into the spirit. It was Ground Hog day here in the Northeast yesterday and of course we are due for another six weeks of hard winter followed by another six weeks of soft winter. Opening Day at Boston's Fenway Park will take place the first week of April and anybody who's ever been to a [...]
