Four of the five members — Aubrey O'Day , Dawn Richard , Shannon Bex and Aundrea Fimbres — were spotted having lunch with their new manager in Los Angeles yesterday ( D. Woods was too busy, or hates everyone, or whatever), and TMZ claims that "they plan to record and tour." [...]

Oooh it was set to be a good night, even on paper. Steve Gunn - Kurt Vile's buddy and extra Violator on this tour - filled an early, early set with layered, rich indie-blues - haven't heard a lot of that, these days. And none so good.

It occurred to me yesterday that I've been running ANBAD for exactly five years now. I'm not sure what to celebrate the most: the fact that I managed to stick to the premise of writing (hyperbole) about a new(-ish) band (almost) every (working) day (except weekends and holidays) or the fact that I haven't gone clinically insane whilst doing it. A minor landmark moment like this always induces some soul-searching, or at least simple head-scratching. And five years is a long time online: Myspace was still the main online music resource, hashtags [...]
In conjunction with their “Crossing Wires” EP and full length compilation, My Favorite Robot are releasing a full length studio mix that’s indicative of the house, techno and nu disco sounds that make up the collection. The names of the Toronto trio are strong enough on their own (James Teej, Jared Simms and Voytek Koran), but the comp adds original tracks by the Revenge, Stefan Z, Inxec & Droog, Timo Maas, Tim Paris, Alan Fitzpatrick and more. Running at just over an hour, the mix slow burns for about the first 20-minutes until it opens up with Jonny [...]
