We Are The Wiley Benefit This Thursday (w/Some Video Aid…)

Jul 7, 2009, 1:30pm EAR FARM

A great concert for a very worthy cause is going down this Thursday evening, July 9th, at the Shank. Look at the excellent lineup above, read about the drive to help John Wiley below, and rock out to some videos from the bands performing on Thursday...win win WIN! From the press release: On March 5, 2009, professional guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist, Jon Wiley awoke without feeling or mobility in his arms and legs. He was subsequently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and incurred more than $30,000 worth of medical bills for his week-long hospital stay. After a lengthy recovery [...]

Lightspeed Champion - Tonight!

Jun 18, 2008, 3:41pm End Hits

BY ANY OTHER NAME— Dev Hynes (AKA Lightspeed Champion) is the logical heir to Elvis Costello. His brand of songwriting crosses genres, but is suffused with a '50s doo-wop flair and brutally honest lyrics. Onstage, he is funny, scattered, and maybe not altogether sane. Call it indie-folk or folk-pop or whatever; his music is above all, beautiful. PAC w/Flowers Forever, the Explorers Club; Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside, 9 pm, $11-12 Creeped out by puppets? Yeah, me too. I mean, with the exception of Statler & Waldorf and my favorite [...]

on fist fights, rock shows, and wondering what Lightspeed would do

Apr 3, 2008, 1:15pm The Audial Mitzvah

I made up a story on April Fool's Day about how my friend Tresa got in a fist fight at the Vampire Weekend show. My roommate bought it, but totally wasn't that upset when I told him it was a joke. What a bust! I caught myself wondering how cool it would have been if [...]

Live review: Lightspeed Champion, Semifinalists, Jonquil @ Oxford C***ing Academy

Feb 4, 2008, 12:51pm galactic mystery solvers

here's a story about a pop concert i went to, and whether it was any good. jonquil are from oxford, which doesn't usually bode well, but they're actually rather nice, in a sufjan-stevens-does-cheery-beu lah-type-beach-boys-folk-meand ering way. seven-strong, or thereabouts, the 'quil are strangers to fashion, which is endearing. their ponytail-sporting frontman occasionally sounds like late-period morrissey, which is unsettling. closing song 'lions' is a standout, featuring an accordion-and-voice breakdown that wouldn't sound out of place on the latest beirut album. this chap says they sound like grizzly bear, but i wouldn't know about that.

Lightspeed Champion - Galaxy Of The Lost

Feb 4, 2008, 5:00am soundsblog

Lightseepd Champion è un personaggio nato nella testa di Dev Hynes, ex componente dei Test-Icicle . Rispetto alla precedente formazione musicale Hynes però, abbassa i toni, rallenta i bpm e stacca la spina elettrica dall'amplificatore e si stanzia ad Omaha in Nebraska ovvero la patria dell'indie-folk americano. Hynes si muove a metà fra i solchi del new acoustic movement e l'indie-pop sognante dei Bright Eyes e Sufjan Stevens . Il suo primo lavoro, Falling Off the Lavender Bridge , è uscito su Domino a fine gennaio. Il video è quello [...]

An interview with Lightspeed Champion (Devonte Hynes)

Jan 18, 2008, 2:42am BrooklynVegan

by BrooklynVegan Mike DOWNLOAD: Lightspeed Champion - Waiting Game (MP3) When schizophrenic dance-punk outfit Test Icicles called it a day not long after the release of their debut album, it seemed like a one and done, flash in the pan output attached to the musical trend at the time. Fast forward a year and one of their members, Devonte Hynes, reappears with a new project called Lightspeed Champion [...]

Heads Up

Jul 30, 2007, 8:45pm The Next to Last Mohican

If you like Gym Class Heros, MC Chris, obscure Transformers references, or nerdcore music in general, you'd get a real kick out of this band: Optimus Rhyme . With names like Stumblebee, Risky T, and BroBot, you can't go wrong. I especially like this excerpt from their homepage: The year was 2000. The Wackacons had invaded the Emerald City. Parties grew listless and nightclubs suffered greatly under the Wackacons' ever-growing influence. Repetitive loop manufacturers, lackluster DJs and angst-filled metal pushers aligned with the Wackacons and quickly flourished in our once-great city. It was [...]
