O.Children have been on the slow burner ever since the release of their self titled debut last year which was quickly followed by a remix album featuring mixes from the likes of The Golden Filter. This has now led onto the release of a short 4 track acoustic EP (July 3 via Deadly People Records) which is a testament to the groups songwriting talents. Instead of sounding bedraggled, they sound as fresh as they did when first heard way back on the original record. The band are currently writing and recording a second album so, if [...]

Suicide Sundaes – stop your grinnin' and drop your linen. Every Sunday electblake of Earmilk will bring you the weeks dirty servings, and some old favorites through a throwdown-throwback to simpler times. A time when bangers were big, remixes were bigger, the bassline bled, and we didn't care about anything as long as came in kicking and left screaming. To hell with sketchy sunday, we want to shove another dragon down the hole. So this past Friday was my birthday as well, you should be pretty fucking happy I managed to sober up enough [...]

"Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer" Cet été, je n'ai pu assister qu'à deux jours de concert du festival Rock En Seine; le troisième m'étant passé sous le nez (les Klaxons et MGMT avec lui). Mais parmi les groupes prévus durant ce troisième jour, Metric est peut être celui que je regrette le plus avoir manqué. J'ai connu le groupe durant cet été avec leur troisième album intitulé Fantaisies . Metric est un groupe de rock indé canadien qui s'est formé en 1998. [...]

Last night, Frankmusik entered New York City with a fistful of dancepop, ready to be thrown onto an eager crowd. This being the Londoner's first show in this grand town, he was eager, he was dynamic, and he put on a show that wowed this initially hesitant blogger. After hearing Frankmusik's self-titled debut album, it's easy to praise the tight production and slinky arrangements. So yes, I was curious as to how that would transform into a live stage show. I never should have had [...]

We are all just a little girl crazy over here at fakeRICH and eventhough girls have been the one thing that has almost brought us all to an end.. we all most definitely crazy for LITTLE BOOTS and we love it. Victoria Christina Hesketh (LITTLE BOOTS) was born in Blackpool, Lancashire. Her father was a car dealer and her mother an author of children's books. Victoria (LITTLE BOOTS) Hesketh is a true musician. From learning to play the piano at the age of 5 to eventually [...]

Ok, a dope assortment of bombastic electronica. You need this post so that you can keep looking like the man to your friends and unveiling the dopest shit they've ever heard. How lush is that work of art by the way. In the words of Murray Hewitt: "Bis Potty Eva" Toecutter: Best Party Ever (Bang Gang 12") Right click link and press save as... La Roux: Bulletproof (Foamo Remix) [...]

Photo of Little Boots courtesy of Jonas Brensen It's true we love Little Boots , probably a bit too much! However, I think there's always room for another post on this pint size popstrel. This time we talk fashion . It was a quick Q&A but it was beautiful all the same. Known for her ethereal disco chic this girl can certainly dress........ KMD: We admired your style in Dead Disco but now it's simply magical. Who inspires you stylistically? Little Boots: Bridget Bardot, [...]

Skepticism was instantly felt the second I found this new (to me at least) remix by The Bloody Beetroots . They sprinkle a different bloody ingredient all over Little Boots' former group Dead Disco to accomplish something fresh. Acid Jazz? Techno? Rave? I'm not too sure how to categorize the sound but it is definitely a neon shirt in sea of regular clothed joes . Ahh, almost forgot, Frankmusik also touches You're Out. [...]

In light of all the Little Boots coverage leading up to the release of her debut album, Hands , thought I'd throw you a flashback to what Victoria Hesketh was up to before she became the Caligula we all know and love. Hesketh was lead singer of the rocker girl group, Dead Disco , and while they didnt cause quite the commotion that her solo project has, I was immediately a fan upon first listen of their track, You're Out . [...]

Metronomy – это Джозеф Маунт (Joseph Mount) , продюсер, музыкант из Девона (Devon), что в Соединенном Королевстве. В прошлом году, он вместе со своими коллегами по лайвам Оскаром Кэшем (Oscar Cash) и Габриелем Стеббингом (Gabrielle Stebbing) выпустили отличный альбом Nights Out . Тема альбома – осуждение неугомонности и легкомыслия современных подростков, предупреждение о жизни помешанной на вечеринках и наркотиках, ну и конечно отношения с девушками, куда без них. Маунт не возмущен своими ровесниками, скорее разочарован: « Они хотят, чтоб каждая ночь была самой лучшей на свете! А так никогда не получается. [...]

So, Little Boots and the campaign for her debut "Hands" is in overdrive now. Apparently it's quite a good album, which is believable considering the quality of material floating around the internet. Actually, we expect blogosphere to go into meltdown when the thing is released, if they don't die of excitement first. That picture? It's the band she used to be in, they were called "Dead Disco", they were around before the internet existed (lie, but we didn't check blogs back then) and after a few releases they suddenly split up, nobody really knows why... it's a [...]

*The interview with Little Boots was done sometime in the remaining months of 2008. Enjoy. Yes, It's true I have a crush on Little Boots . Now, I am not one to have celebrity crushes but something about Little Boots has me enamored. It could be the perfect combination of her beautiful and sexy vocals over disco influenced indie electro or just that she's extremely attractive and makes better dj mixes than most or maybe its the youtube videos where she covers Haddaway and plays with circuit bent toys and microkorgs (see below). Her [...]

Video Villain gets the honor of being our first interview of 2009! Congrats girls and guy! :) SMILE: So, who is Video Villain and how long have you guys been performing together? There isn't much info on you out there, so give us the beef. Video Villain: We've known each other for a few years, we used to play gigs together when we were in different bands and sometimes meet up for a drink. It was actually when we met up for a drink more recently that we [...]
Det er altid skønt, at betragte det kvindelig køn. Det er derfor i særdeleshed også skønt at betragte Dead Disco , som består af 3 skæppeskønne piger (fra venstre: Victoria, Lucy & Marie). Dead Disco er i øjeblikket igang med at sætte stempel på deres debutalbum med Greg Kurstin (Flaming Lips, Peaches, Lily Allen m.m.) på producerstolen. Efter et par massive hits og en massiv fangruppe i hjemlandet, England, er de 3 piger klar til at overtage resten af verden. Stilen hedder indie med psykedelisk tendenser af emo . En anden god [...]

What has all the cramming and studying taught me? I've learnt the 3 types of proofs, ethos (character of a speaker), pathos (playing with the audience's emotions), and logos (logic, be it deductive or inductive). I've also learned how to write speeches, write proper letters, ignorance vs. knowledge according to Plato, what forms of knowledge existed in the old days (basic literacy, music, gymnastics) and the education of new (dialectic, rhetoric, grammar , arithmetic, music, geometry, and science)... AGGGH and it'll all leak from my brain today for my midterm, AGGH again! [...]

An indie girl group from Leeds. Producer Richard X (famous for writing hits for Rachel Stevens, Sugababes, & Kelis) is working with the girls in LA with producer Greg Kurstin. CL-CL-CLICK HERE for more Dead Disco. Did you think you were ahead of the gang? Gettin' his fix - Tabloid Junkie.

it was funny how seuty was complaining about repetitive books just when i was listening to little boots ' "stuck on repeat" (yes, on repeat mode). the former singer of dead disco has been tearing up the underground airwaves lately with her white label releases, online mixtape downloads, and a new single released today on pure groove . titled "meddle", it is the fruit of her studio work with hottest chip off the block today joe goddard , which means it must be ready for the floor. my favorite though is still "stuck [...]
