The most underrated music festival and the supplier for one of my favorite weekends of music in 2010, Midpoint Music Festival is celebrating it's tenth anniversary this weekend. Think SXSW or CMJ, but in Cincinnati. The programers have excellent taste and the upcoming 2011 festival features fresh new talent and bigger names sure to impress. Due to scheduling conflicts and being in Los Angeles, I won't make it this year, but it's one of the three music festivals I even considered making the lengthy trip for. If you live anywhere in driving distance, drop [...]

Band names are hard. As anyone who's tried to come up with one knows, it's damn near impossible to find one that's memorable, meaningful, and hasn't already been taken by some other band in the past 50 years. Portland's Starfucker is evidently stumped, as the band is currently seeking fan suggestions for a new name. According to a post on the group's MySpace , the name was only ever intended to be temporary, and "we never thought we'd make it this far with Starfucker." While fans wait for band to come up with a [...]

Less than a year after their debut album, Portland quartet Starfucker are back with a terrific 8 song release - Jupiter . The album is technically due out on May 5th, but it is already available for purchase directly from their label Badman Recording Co . In case you are unfamiliar, Starfucker is one of the most incredible dance-tastic electronic indie acts in the US. Our choice cuts from the record are "Boy Toy" and "Biggie Smalls." You can hear them in the player below. They have also made their track "Medicine" available for free download. We highly [...]

Starfucker's brand of guitar-based indie pop comes as unconventionally as their name. Synths are sprinkled sparingly on the songs while the guitar, bass and drums take the lead. Typically, these instruments create the sound of rock music but Starfucker brilliantly fashions them into their own distinct form of pop music.

' Rawnald gregory erickson 2nd ' es el primer video del trio electroindielofiverypop Starfucker que nos traen de su debut homónimo lanzado en septiembre pasado, es bien relajante escucharlos con sonidos bien alegres y guitarras vintage detrás, lo que le ha hecho que constantemente sean comparados a MGMT puesto en una juguera con Of Montreal . Tanto así que escuchar el disco un par de veces llega a ser un poco hipnotizante, así que cuidado con eso. Download: Starfucker [...]
