Video: tUnE-yArDs - 'Bizness'

New York  I've been in constant motion, like a shark! I'm wrapping up my first LP, and getting ready for some summer SAADI shows (see poster below). Also singing and touring with Janka Nabay and the BuBu Gang. I just quit my job as a photo retoucher so I can devote myself entirely to music. Until my new record comes out, you can get my Snowyman remixes including amazing ones by Prince [...]

As Tune-Yards mastermind Merrill Garbus took to The Phoenix stage on Wedesnday night, she started off by leading the audience in a Where the Wild Things Are -like moment. She yelled at the the crowd, goading them into unleashing their terrible inner monster by asking them to repeatedly yell "rawr!" It was a weird and cheerful sight, to be sure, but more importantly, the New England native already had the audience firmly in the palm of her hand — a grasp that would only be relinquished at the end of the [...]

Lollapalooza is back with a line-up that's full of up-and-coming local acts, legitimate buzz bands, arena rockers and a few head scratchers. So, we here at Loud Loop figured you might need some help deciding which bands to check out and which to avoid. And of course you know the Black Sabbath, The Black Keys and the Chili Peppers, so we won't waste your time on them. Instead, these are our picks for can't-miss acts those other eight hours this Friday, Saturday and Sunday... [...]

Finally the bands that we could see, if the program, the alcohol and the wheather wants it! and many more.....

There’s less than one month until a myriad of musical monsters will emerge at the Gorge for the 2012 Sasquatch Music Festival. With so many beautiful bands to keep in mind and a number of schedule conflicts to sort out, LYFSTYL will feature an act each day to allow you to sample what is in store this summer at the Gorge. tUnE-yArDs Unconventional and uncompromising, tUne-yArDs is an avant-garde brand of vicious beats and sharp vocals provided by creator Merill Garbus. While Garbus herself [...]

I worship at the church of karaoke. The parishoners and I are there to confess and meditate, to feel welcomed by a community, to hear a good sermon or two, to perchance see someone speak in tongues and have the words of the Lord Bon Jovi be channeled through a mere mortal. And, of course, to have some drinks and venture to make complete fools out of ourselves. Karaoke exists in a vacuum of taste, where anomalies and exceptions always seem to arise and mess with my preconceptions. Maybe, like me, this is the only time you can really tolerate a Billy [...]

Like a 2011 edition Annual pasted with price reduction stickers, sitting unwanted in the bargain bin, my end of year list may have slightly missed its moment. Nevertheless this is its 7th edition and it'd be a shame to let it sit in "draft" status forever, even if it is the equivelent of being given a creme egg on halloween. Someone once said that in the obsessive effort to try and hear everything, they'd managed to lose the joy of listening to anything. As my original 1000 song shortlist expanded rather than contracted through January I began to understand [...]

Partly because I'm horrified by the absence of Tom Waits in my year-end albums and songs and shows lists, I was compelled to compile another list that would include the great man. 1. Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat- "Copper Top" (above) I identify with every moment. 2. Spoek Mathambo- "Control" Terrifying. 3. Tyler, the Creator- "Yonkers" A nihilistic star is born. 4. ASAP Rocky- "Purple Swag" Can't. Stop. Watching. [...]

The votes are in! The numbers are crunched! We asked and you responded in a big way once again this year, throwing in your support for scores of records only most of which we'd actually heard. When all was said and done, two truths seem to have emerged: 1) You are a tasteful, savvy bunch (no, really!); 2) 2011 was a varied and outstanding year for music. Without further ado, then, here's how you heard 2011. 10 (tie) - Tom Waits / Bad As Me [...]

20 - Foster the people - Torches Duas palavras que definem bem o efeito Foster The People em 2011: Amplitude e abrangência. Fazia um tempo que não via uma banda de estreia que caminhasse tão livremente entre os ipods dos indies alegrões e o mainstream total, passando por rádio FM e até background de programa de fofoca. O trio embala qualquer festa ou momento atual, principalmente na temática diversão. Torches se acendeu como uma grande pira olímpica e atingiu muita gente com seus agudos que hora beiram ao falsete, sintetizadores jovens, assovios e percussão [...]

WTUL is killin’ it these days with their select show promotions, helping bring a SOLD OUT Explosions in the Sky to Tipitina’s on Wednesday and closing down the week with the highly-buzzed about tUnE-yArDs at One Eyed Jacks, one of the more unique bands to come out of the indie universe this year. Doors are at 9 p.m., Pat Jordache will be opening and tickets are still available for $14. The twin bill makes for a full night of intriguing and off-kilter pop music in the rouge French Quarter bordello – with music from both artists that will surely be [...]

Tuesday was essentially a Monday for me this week. Everything was wrong, everything was blah, and I was wishing the day away and welcoming the night because I knew I would be inside the Beachland Ballroom  getting to hear the soulful voice of Merrill Garbus, backed by the basslines of Nate Brenner and a couple of raw saxophones. I had the utmost faith that the daring musicianship of tUnE-yArDs would save my day (and perhaps propel me through the rest of the week). How [...]
