Moving Pictures: The Chevin | Bad Veins | Animal Kingdom | The Griswolds | Family Band | Cousins | Icona Pop | A-Trak

Icona Pop - I Love It
The Chevin wins this week for the lovely song and snippets of enviable scenery, but for spirit,  it's my local Bad Veins who take top spot for the gal dancing in her undies for the whole video. Regurgitation and Dancing in Color, Artistry, Pants, Ear-worms, and dexterous handibles fill in the rest of what you'll see [...]

Live Review: Two Door Cinema Club at Rams Head Live, Baltimore, MD – 12th June 2012

Live Review: Two Door Cinema Club at Rams Head Live, Baltimore, MD – 12th June 2012 On the second to last date of their spring 2012 North American tour, Bangor's Two Door Cinema Club decided to make a visit to a place they'd never been: Baltimore, Maryland. I myself don't like the idea of trekking up a hour (usually more or in our case this night, nearly 2 hours) in traffic up the I-95 motorway, though if you ask Cheryl, she is there is all the time for gigs. Unless it's a band that I'm dying to see that I know won't be coming to Washington, I don't [...]

Bad Veins – Dancing On TV

Bad Veins | Dancing On TV
Ever wonder what Soul Train would look like if it were powered by modern indie-pop? Thanks to Cincinnati pair Bad Veins , we have the answer. The video for "Dancing on TV", a cut off of the recently-released The Mess We've Made , opens with a minute and a half sequence featuring a spot-on recreation of a 70s living room. Complete with giant television cabinet, Atari, terrible color palettes and a bored teenager in knee-high tube socks, our main character flips through channels on her giant, clunky remote control as she happens upon a [...]

Bad Veins: The Mess We've Made

Bad Veins | Dancing On TV
The Mess We've Made sounds a lot like what you'd get if Tears for Fears merged with the Killers, and a great deal of it is catchy and appealing - so long as you don't listen to it too closely. The Cincinnati-based keyboard-and-guitars indie rock duo Bad Veins have a shtick or two up the sleeves of the vintage Army fatigues that they don while touring. (Band leader Benjamin Davis's choice of full metal jacket comes directly from his dad, who served in Vietnam.) For one, this poppy indie rock group relies on a reel-to-reel tape recorder, named [...]

MOKB Premiere : Bad Veins : Dancing On TV

MOKB Premiere : Bad Veins : Dancing On TV Photo credit: Ana Gilmore The majority of the MOKB staff is trekking off to Austin this week, and I'm being left at home to keep the lights on. And so while my peers are fretting over cramming a laptop and enough clean britches for a week into their carry-ons, I have been saddled with the task of continuing to disseminate new music to the curious, capricious and crazy. With that in mind, it makes perfect sense to start the week with a MOKB premiere from Bad Veins . The band's newest release, [...]

Bad Veins - Dancing On TV (Official Video)

Bad Veins - Dancing On TV (Official Video) New video out for Bad Veins latest single "Dancing On TV" and there's really no better way to describe it than boogie-licious. Featuring scenes that could have easily come off of an old episode of American Bandstand and Chris Hardwick as the over enthusiastic host, Bad Veins seemingly have a soft spot for the good old days of music where people dressed horribly and danced even worse in front of a national audience. It probably doesn't hurt that the main girl in this video has got that sexy cute thing going on with her knee high [...]

Video Bad Veins – “Dancing On TV”

Video Bad Veins – “Dancing On TV” Bad Veins first caught my eye when they opened for Frightened Rabbit a while back. Since then the band's debut self-titled album has been a go to LP for when I don't know what I feel like listening to. Because of the success of the first album I've been waiting with eager anticipation for the release of the follow up album called The Mess We've Made . Today we have first sight and sound from that album. "Dancing On TV" is the first single from the album which has received a video before an audio [...]

Bad Veins – Dancing On TV (Video)

Bad Veins – Dancing On TV (Video) I'm a big fan of this Cincinnati duo and their reel-to-reel tape player. Bad Veins are releasing The Mess We've Made on April 24th, their follow up to their frequently slept-on self-titled debut. The lead single is "Dancing On TV" and they premiered the accompanying visuals today. Hopefully an MP3 of this will get posted today also, because I don't really care for the video. Feels like they were going for the next "Buddy Holly" with this one. Bad Veins are playing Milkboy on April 13th in Philly . Looks like [...]

Video: Bad Veins – “Dancing On TV” (CoS Premiere) Cincinnati pop-rockers Bad Veins showed off their aptitude for crafting catchy, high-flying pop hooks and earnest boy-meets-girl songwriting on their 2009 self-titled debut. On April 24th, the pair will return their sophomore LP,  The Mess We’ve Made , via Modern Outsider Records. "Dancing On TV" is the first single off the record and comes complete with a '70s-inspired music video. What starts out as a goofy play on an old episode of American Bandstand  shifts decades and turns into a full-on reenactment of a-ha's " Take On Me " video. Check it out below. [...]
