We've already made it more than obvious that we're smitten with Pictureplane aka Travis Egedy's 2011 release, Thee Physical (released via Lovepump United ). Having nabbed the #7 spot on our best electronic albums of 2011 , we've previously waxed poetic on the album itself , the video for "Black Nails" , and Pictureplane's Halloween show in Boston . Pictureplane's music is smart, sexy, and genre-defying, just like we like our mates (Er, what? Sorry. But you get the idea). From retro samples to trancey beats to witchy moods, Pictureplane has infectious, complex [...]

Brooklyn's True Womanhood won me over at Zomby 's NYC show at Glasslands Gallery this weekend, despite an initial curious reaction to a band - with instruments - opening for a grimey dubstep DJ. I think it's love, love that was sparked by a set that included both a cover of my darling Pictureplane 's "Dark Rift" (off 20092s album by the same name) followed shortly thereafter by a cover of same-level darling Justin Timberlake 's "My Love," both infused with the band's own individual twist. That was just a point of entry, though - their originals [...]

Rumors of Zomby 's October 1 show in New York City sprung up months ago, with little information to be found other than the possibility that the show was happening. With plenty of buzz existing surrounding his 2011 album Dedication (on 4AD), people were excited, but no one was quite sure what to think, given his reclusive nature and the unlikelihood of a U.S. appearance. The rumor gained increasing credibility when a venue, Glasslands Gallery , in Brooklyn, was mentioned, and then an RSVP page appeared , informing RSVPers that they would soon be emailed with [...]

All Photos: Sarah Gormley Last Friday at 9:30 Club , DC's own rock royalty U.S. Royalty hit the stage in their first headlining show there. Charismatic frontman John Thornley was the picture of androgynous excess in faux fur, sequins, and reptile cowboy boots. With this and his usual wild gyrations, Thornley was reminiscent of a rock star from another era as he launched into "Hollywood Hollows" and then "Fool to Love (Like I Do)" from their debut full length [...]

I was thrilled to find out that DC's own U.S. Royalty would be playing 9:30 Club this Friday (7/29). So of course... I had to get you all some tickets to join in the fun. We have a pair of tickets to give away. Charlottesville, VA's Birdlips and DC's True Womanhood are supporting, so it's your chance to hear three great (relatively) local bands. I could tell you for the 800th time about how U.S. Royalty [...]
