Our friends over at Low Life Inc are at it again, sending us another gem. This time it's six piece Portland, OR band Adventure Galley . Their track "Weekend Lovers" was sent our way and I am mightily impressed. Amazing dark, pop dance track. I get a little Arcade Fire , Joy Division feel to it, but with a synth rock dance vibe that's hard to resist. Love the atmospheric intro. Check it out below and if you like what you hear it's free [...]

TMOT's top 5 albums of 2011, in no particular order 1. Bon Iver, Bon Iver Forget Emma, forget Kanye, forget the Grammys, forget the cabin in the woods. Jubilation is not apparent in Bon Iver, not at first. But how else could "Towers" be described? It's a gorgeous love song, and despite the occasionally unintelligible [...]
The British always seem to do ultra-cool rock better than anyone else. New Cassettes, a sharp quintet from Northampton, England, doesn't sound radically dissimilar from every other Brit rock band from the last five years: they've got that sleek sound, excitable guitars and catchy beats down perfectly. Their songs have a modern edge that reminds [...]
![[videO] Prinzhorn Dance School – Happy In Bits](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3917419_lg.jpg)
Check out the new video from the duo of DFA Records lovelies known as Prinzhorn Dance School . We last heard from Tobin Prinz & Suzi Horn in 2007 when their self-titled debut album was released on DFA. We're overdue for some wonderful new d-punk, and I think this is a sound introduction to their second full-length Clay Class which comes out on 30 January 2012. Prinzhorn Dance School - Happy In Bits

Treasure Fingers gets underneath this Foster The People track and sets off the preparty in style. Call it what I want? I'll call it exceedingly fresh .

Electronic indie rock outfit from Nottingham Moscow Youth Cult are back with another intensely pleasing song in "Iris", which has synths and drums and guitars, all of the elements you really need to make an amazing attempt at dance rock. Succeeded, they have, and we can't wait for even more from them. (mp3) Moscow Youth Cult - Iris Godspeed!
We Are Scientists headlined the CMJ 2011 day showcase at Pianos on Saturday. I'm getting spoiled; it was their third free NYC show since June (I won't even tell you how many times I've seen them and their rotating cast of drummers). A cramped room with no backstage; a packed crowd already boozing at five [...]
Full photoset here. White Rabbits headlined Fashion's Night Out at Rockefeller Center on Thursday night. Featuring half a dozen new songs, the show afforded a promising look at the forthcoming third album from this percussion-heavy, Brooklyn-based band. As curious gawkers on the Rockefeller Center plaza watched from above, a small crowd danced to "The Plot" [...]

I went to see Tapes 'n Tapes late last week in Denver. Well, actually, I went to see The Chain Gang of 1974 who was opening for Tapes 'n Tapes. My intuition was right (though the headliner was good as well). I really liked what I heard from Kamtin Mohager's musical vehicle, The Chain Gang of 1974, in limited exposure and that in turn was enough for me to take the opportunity to catch him in his former hometown. So I did. Mohager left Denver after a breakup and he landed in LA. He used the personal situation [...]

Tweet This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the [...]
On Thursday night, despite a downpour while the line stretched past North 13th Street in Greenpoint, the crowd at the House of Vans was out of control, but they seemed to be having a good time. When a significant proportion of the audience dispersed after Against Me!'s set, the kids left standing were the Tokyo [...]
View the full photo set here. On a cobblestone street at the South Street Seaport, in broad daylight with no booze in sight, preceded by a corporate-sponsored breakdancing/hula-hooping act: this was no typical We Are Scientists concert. Yet with kids carrying homemade signs, with no stage (and no stage-diving - a pity), and with the [...]
The Djs From Mars bring the mashup attitude into electrohouse…they start remixing big pop hits for their gigs in 2004, in BlissCo headquarters, just for fun…In a couple of years they are recognized as one of the biggest names in the mashup scene…their videos on Youtube get over 10 millions of views, and the hype is still growing… The bootlegs are soon noticed by labels all around the world, and they start working on remixes for big pop and dance acts such as Fragma, Ciara, Eiffel 65, Brooklyn Bounce , Coolio and Ennio Morricone, and many more…in the US [...]
Tweet Thank goodness for YouTube. Seriously. If it weren't for YouTube, we would still be stuck with the likes of MTV and Fuse to satiate our thirst for videos. If it also weren't for YouTube, a video such as the one for the new Tom Vek single Aroused would never be seen by most of the general public aside from a few couch potatoes watching MTV at 2am. A bunch of beautiful people staring at us in disdain while sucking and blowing on cancer sticks wouldn't pass the powers-that-be here [...]
Today, the intersection of dance music and rock music seems only natural. However, the process has been in the making for decades, and this list provides an introduction to ten of the best albums this genre combination has to offer. Rock music has come a long way, you know. Charting the evolution of the genre, mapping its seemingly infinite offshoots and hyphenated mini-trends -- these would be full time jobs, lifelong careers. Rock twists around with soul, bops along with funk, embraces pop, and (often horrifically) flirts with rap and hip-hop. All of this hybridity speaks to rock 'n' [...]
Dance rockers Hey Champ have released a new music video for its single "Silver City," from their Anything at All EP. And boy is it a love letter to Chicago. In fact, it's a synth love letter. And we all know those are the best kind of love letters to receive. The video was shot in and around the Wicker Park area along North Milwaukee Avenue and Ukrainian Village, including stops at Connect and KSTARKE records. Eagle-eye viewers will notice the outdoor performance shots happen across the street from the Division Blue line around that crazy [...]
