With her near unpronounceable stage name and invented musical instruments Mica Levi is quite the alternative. And that's before you even take on board what her latest album 'Chopped and Screwed' is all about. The album was recorded live using a technique used in 902s hip-hop wherein songs are slowed down, speeded up and generally put through the cheese grater. While this appears about as appetizing as shower mold soup we have become quite taken with 'Everything'. Yes, the prevailing winds are unpredictable, yes Mica pulls shapes our ears are not accustomed to but the piece has an undeniable charm. [...]
With homemade stringed instruments, atonal computer blips, and a name inspired by the third-cutest Pokemon, Micachu & the Shapes will perform tonight at Le Poisson Rouge. Joining them are Tanli... Continue reading "Tonight! Micachu & the Shapes, Tanlines, She & Him, jj, And The Big Pink" >

Thursday, July 16th - That Ghost @ Rickshaw Stop That Ghost - "I Crossed Out the Options" Santa Rosa's That Ghost just put out a new EP titled Get It and Get Out , self-described as "seven tracks of noisey guitar racket shit on cdr and comes in homemade sketchy packaging made out of cardboard and is limited to only 100 copies." Hopefully, you'll be able to grab a copy at Thursday night's show [...]
As reported earlier, Frightened Rabbit will perform at NYC's Siren Music Festival this Saturday before heading out on their own headlining tour this fall. They'll be sharing the stage this weekend with quirky London trio Micachu and The Shapes, whose...
Guitars held together with red string. Rotating wheels with plectrums attached. Bowed instruments built from the remains of wobbly CD racks. The use of hole punchers as hi-hats. These are just a few of the bizarre homemade instruments present on Micachu's album "Jewellery". Micachu is a Surrey-born, London-bred songstress who, although classically trained, likes her music dirty. Along with her band The Shapes, she is signed to the legendary indie label Rough Trade, through which she released her debut earlier this year. The album is definitely worth a listen, a wacky mishmash of short but sweet DIY pop-punk [...]
So. Heute ist Sommeranfang. Ja ja der Sommer, was kann man über ihn noch sagen was noch nicht gesagt wurde. Er kann rechts wie links, der Sommer. Manchmal ist er auch eine Frau oder schwarz oder gar beides zusammen. Er ist eindeutig der Superstar unter den Jahreszeiten - und als Star kann man sich natürlich so launisch und divenhaft aufführen wie momentan bei einem Blick aus dem Fenster zu beobachten ist. Von daher nun ein Appell an den Sommer: Wenn du hier nicht bald mal nen vernünftigen Job ablieferst gibts Ärger. Aber echt. Da greift die Zahnbürste zukünftig ins Leere. [...]
So, what was I just saying, Right Here, Right Now by Jesus Jones on repeat for 3 hours while driving through the desert. Yes, in August, that's right... oh, readers - there you are! I was just messaging a friend about the upcoming Jesus Jones LA to Vegas Road Trip Challenge '09 . Between setting up the particulars and dealing with mind-numbing finances, I've wandered away a bit, but here I am, back for yet another installment of the Friday Five, same as it ever was, same as it ever was... Rock And Roll comes from [...]

O M que deu o sucesso a Micachu não foi o de Mathew Herbert, que trabalhou com ela, na produção, e editou-lhe um disco em 2007 no seu catálogo, mas o M de MySpace, onde o seu tema "Golden Phone" tornou-se um êxito, em 2008. Em Abril de 2009, a Rough Trade editou o seu primeiro disco, "Jewellery" e agora apresenta o novo vídeo para o êxito "Golden Phone".Para quem ainda não sabe, Micachu & The
by charles poladian All quiet as June makes its debut. The summer promises numerous highlights including festivals, free movies, free music, and great shows. Maybe you are going to see Phish this week, maybe you are catching one of five Art Brut shows at Mercury Lounge , maybe you are catching Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction. This week promises a lot, so let's get the Reel started. [...]
Micachu el joven ingles que con su disco debut Jewellery se ha hecho ya su nombre en los medios. En el video aparece la formación completa del trio presentando el nuevo single 'Golden Phone' uno de los destacables del disco y el que presentamos a continuación.
I love it when music surprises me. In an era where most bands are just retreads of other bands, Micachu delivers honest-to-goodness original music. The best point of reference I can give for their debut album Jewellery is The Unicorns, solely on the facet that made both groups so enjoyable: quirkiness. These are what I've decided are the stages of enjoying Jewellery . 1. Pique Of Interest On first listen, it's hard to fully take in what you're hearing. There's a lot of random noise, but [...]
