Frank Yang Most bands that name themselves for prehistoric entities - your Mastadons, your Dinosaur Jrs - seem to do so at least a little for the heavy and/or primal connotations that come with it. Not so much for Brooklyn's Caveman , who seem to have chosen the name ironically as there's nothing raw or neolithic about their smooth and polished debut album Coco Beware . Rather than club you about the head with a bone, Caveman makes an impression with shimmering guitars, floaty synths and tight harmonies delivering [...]
When he wasn't busy banishing Joy Division's rhythm section to rainy rooftops of Manchester, pulling a Magnum on Tony Wilson, or shooting enough smack to take down a Brontosaurus, Factory Record's house engineer/auteur/genius Martin Hannett was twiddling knobs for lesser known FAC s, like South Bronx's ESG (aka Emerald, Sapphire and Gold ). Made up of a trio of Scroggins sisters and a rotating cast of session musicians, ESGs experimental funk paved the way for such duel syllabic 80s genres as Post-Disco, Post-Punk, No Wave, Dance Punk and due to their lengthy, sparse and easily [...]

The Scroggins sisters of ESG are set for a trio of dates in Europe (Sweden and France only) in September, as they'll be playing for the first time in a very, very, very long time, on the heels of reissuing of their debut Come Away With ESG from Fire Records . If you're interested in the legacy and legend of the post punk outfit, now's your time, Stockholm, Paris and Nantes. Dates: Sep 07 Stockholm, SE Strand w/ Neneh Cherry Sep 08 Paris, FR Festival Jazz a La Villette/Caberet Sauvage [...]
In The Window is back after a brief hiatus. This week I walked up to Yonge Street's Refried Beats to take a look at their used CD collection. Offering both classic and newly released albums, they have a great selection that is modestly priced. After being in Refried Beats for a few minutes, I quickly noticed how well organized their selection is. In addition to their well organized bins, I also enjoyed their selection they had covering their walls — sometimes when you don't know what you're looking for it's nice to have the options [...]
This is kind of a repeat except it's on a different label. Last year I was hit over the head with killer record from Las Kellies an all girl band from Argentina who all take the last name Kelly the way the Ramones all adopted the surname Ramone. Kellies was their third album but my introduction to them. The record is now getting a US release on 5 July courtesy of Fire records. Kellies melded angular post punk riffs from the likes of Wire via Elatica with the fat beats [...]
80s NY underground culture has majorly influenced contemporary indie music. We're all fans of DFA and most of us would drool over tickets to LCD show, but the sad truth is that most 20-30 year old "cool kids" are a bit disconnected from other important elements of the NY 80s scene. It's probably due to the fact that we were all in diapers when all this was going down. Some of those important elements are the visual artists of the era. I was a little surprised at the blank stares when I started asking scenesters if they knew who Keith [...]
Big Daddy Kane - Ain't No Half Steppin Yo. So continueing on from my first post involing 'Juice Crew' it makes perfect sense to showcase another member and probably one of the most respected and skillful names in hip hop the mighty Big Daddy Kane. So for those of you who may have been living under a rock I shall hit you with the full skinny on this amazing artist then I'm going to break down the track 'Ain't No Half Steppin' . [...]
This one totally slipped under my radar! Franz Ferdinand released the really awesome 5-track Covers EP for Record Store Day this past Saturday. Covers is a collection of Franz Ferdinand songs covered by an impressive list of artists including Peaches, ESG (wow!), James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), Stephin Merritt (Magnetic Fields) and a collaboration with Debbie Harry ! Stream the tracks below, so sad I missed out on scoring this rare gem! (Thanks to V&V for the heads up on Peaches and [...]
Poucas serão as bandas como as ESG que poderão reclamar a sua herança em muita da música actual e de uma transversalidade muito peculiar. Do punk à electrónica, dos Liars aos LCD Soundsystem, são demasiados os exemplos. Bastará uma escuta minimamente atenta a clássicos como South Bronx Story ou mesmo a compilação New York Noise Volume One para descortinar a originalidade da sua música, tão visionária como primitiva. Esta última década tem sido, de resto, pródiga para esse certo reconhecimento em redor das ESG. No seguimento deste revivalismo surge agora, pelas mãos da Fire Records, a [...]

FEATURE: New York Rock in The Years to Be Hated
Squabbles and footnotes aside, in the pages of history books and The FADER, New York rock in the 21st century began with the Strokes. Of course the Strokes always evoked New York rock of the 20th Century, but that was kind of the point. The band captured the city's borrowed nostalgia for a time when [...]
