Toronto - 2011 was the beginning of the end for me. At Primavera this May, I saw Pulp one of my two favorite bands. Last December, I saw Suede, my other favorite band. In a span of six months, I saw both my favorite bands, after waiting my entire life to see them. It will never be topped. Every show I've seen since has been diminished in some regard because I will always compare it to the apex of my concert going experience, and it will ultimately fail in comparison. Still, this year, like every [...]

The Eversons are highlights in the fusion of past and present that is art-punk, a genre most recently propelled by names like Art Brut and The Rakes. Both groups debuted in 2005 with a thickly accented, spontaneously wry vocal wit backed by tremolo-heavy riffs and mechanical rhythms in a style akin to bands like Gang [...]
It doesn't feel that long ago since the band played this very same venue as part of The Great Escape festival just six months before, so it was inevitable that the show tonight would feel very familiar and perhaps even bring a sense of deja vu. Wasting no time Art Brut promptly take the stage and launch into their own classic 'Formed a Band', as ever intertwined with a little of Guns n Roses 'Paradise City', as frontman Eddie Argos makes his own dedication to the singer. 'My Little Brother' is introduced as "This [...]
Last weekend the lovely folks at Moogie Wonderland were kind/foolish enough to invite me to DJ once again. On and off over the course of six hours, I played the following songs. There was a lot of dancing, and one of these songs somehow resulted in a twenty person singalong. Awesome. 1. This Many Boyfriends - #1 2. Herman Dune - Lay Your Head On My Chest 3. Hefner - Painting and Kissing 4. Tigercats - Banned at the Troxy 5. The Hidden Cameras - Death of a [...]

Below, watch the video for album opener "Clever Clever [...]

Ready, Art Brut ? Because Los Angeles wasn't, of course. ||| Photos by Debi Del Grande The U.K. quintet brought its winking, self-referential (and self-pillorying) garage rock to town over the weekend, and judging from their hastily arranged show early Saturday evening at the Satellite, they were all pent up with no place to go. It was no fault of their own — ironic sermonizer Eddie Argos and pals were geared up to play Sunset Junction, and after the [...]
[No Junction today, but plenty of functions:] ► Everest and Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit are the main-stage attractions at the third annual Buskerfest , going off in the East Village Arts District of downtown Long Beach. Two Guns, Pawnshop Kings and Jay Buchanan are among the artists performing throughout the evening on three others stages. It kicks off at 5 p.m. ► This evening's edition of the free Saturdays Off the 405 series at the Getty features Charles Bradley . ► The Dodos , [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] Given how much we love Art Brut , it's amazing that the British five-piece hasn't been previously featured on the site. We remedy that today with a tune to prepare you for all of the horrible/wonderful things you're bound to do this weekend. "Lost Weekend" comes to us from Brilliant! Tragic! , the band's recently released fourth LP. It's the first installment from the band that shows some big departures from the template set forth on [...]
Altsounds London's Summer Camp are clearly believers in the long game. Since emerging in the Fall of 2009 with their identities shrouded in mystery - they were originally thought to be a Swedish collective - they've gradually revealed more and more about themselves while keeping up a steady stream of '80s-worshipping, in both sound and theme, infectious electro-pop. Now, almost two years since first causing a fuss, the duo of Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey are ready to release their full-length debut which they've christened Welcome To Condale and set for [...]
Following the cancellation of the Sunset Junction after their permit was unanimously denied after a second hearing, festival acts have been scrambling to find a local gig. One of our favorite acts that was set to play, Art Brut has...
Los Angeles music fans are still bummed about the news they received this morning on Sunset Junction 's cancellation, but it looks like we already have one rescheduled show to announce. According to Art Brut 's booking agent they will still be performing this weekend! The show has been moved to The Satellite for an early timeslot on Saturday, August 27th. No word on ticket sales just yet but that information should be released soon. What we do know is that [...]
