With the summer festival season all but completed, the 405 have found time to squeeze one last sun-drenched (hopefully) weekend of delight into the calendar. Reeperbahn Festival is Germany's biggest club festival with over 200 acts gracing this year's event. Taking place from 20-22 September in the centre of Hamburg at over 40 venues along the Reeperbahn (-bahn referring to road) the line-up has an impressive coagulation of established and 'unknown' artists. The Reeperbahn is located in St. Pauli, the poorest quarter of the city and in formative years was an infamous red-light district [...]
Mr. Drank In My Cup is back with a fresh round of tracks to serve our thirsty trick ass ears with as he release his sixth mixtape "Procrastination Kills 43. Kirko Bangz and Young Jeezy go in on one of the tape's singles titled Hold It Down with production from Boi-1da ("Recovery", "Thank Me Later", etc.). The record has an inspirational vibe to it, with organ chords and trumpets interlaced into the instrumental providing that laid back yet firm mood. Kirko goes on (in a well executed auto-tune style) to describe how he holds it down [...]
You’ll be hard-pressed to find another producer today who’s risen to such prolific heights as fast as Danger Mouse. Arguably the best thing to emerge from the mid-00s “mashup” fad, producer Brian Burton hit it big on The Grey Album , his deft fusion of the Beatles and Jay-Z, and has since become one of indie rock's most sought-after producers. Since 2005, Burton has been the yin to Cee-Lo Green’s yang in the psych-soul duo Gnarls Barkley, paved the way for the Black Keys’ rock superstardom with his production on their 2008 album Attack [...]
Electric Guest arrives on the scene with catchy tunes that have a '60s flare.
A happenstance acquisition of Danger Mouse's bedroom has lead the Electric Guest to achieve national acclaim, a Danger Mouse-produced album, and a dynamic new sound that people are swooning over. The duo sits down with PopMatters to tell us all about it ... Everything seems to have been a brush with destiny for Electric Guest, a new band out of Los Angeles. Electric Guest is comprised of multi-instrumentalists Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton. The two met while living in a Mt. Washington house that has accommodated many musicians, including Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse). The two began writing and [...]
Electric Guest is a band with a hell of lot of backing seemingly poised to break. Their upcoming album was produced by Danger Mouse (a man who seems to have a golden touch) and is getting promoted by some reputable names (I was solicited them by Nasty Little Man, same PR firm for Foo Fighters, Explosions in the Sky, and more). After one listen, you can hear the retro-pop that made Gnarls Barkley such a success. Watch the video for "This Head I Hold" below. If the first singles and are any indicator, Electric [...]
Every Friday, I pick out four great new music picks from the best of the music blogosphere as part of my Day & Night internet section. Follow Day & Night on Twitter or Facebook . It's out today in print with every copy of the Irish Independent. Light Asylum Coming across like Devo in full 'Whip It' mode, the agitated wonky pop of 'IPC' from this Brooklyn via Berlin band's (too much cool right?) Mexican Summer label debut is odd and compelling, [...]
Exciting Los Angeles duo Electric Guest dropped a new song, "Jenny," and an acoustic version of "This Head I Hold" using an interactive online game on electricguest.com . We had Bauce Sauce get really drunk and he was still able to figure the game out. And if you get busted playing at work, you can say it's innovative social marketing and send it along in a corny office-wide email. Electric Guest's highly anticipated Danger Mouse-produced album Mondo drops April 24th on Downtown Records. Until then, play the interactive [...]

indie pop // ecletic Cruising toward widespread status, Asa Taccone & Matthew Compton are the scrumptious and charming Electric Guest from LA. A Dangerous Mouse is the secret ingredient in their addictive confections; giving us a catchy, carefree, Motown-tinged retro strut on "This Head I Hold" followed by a 9-minute capsule of slow-release, pop ballad pleasure in "Troubleman" - exquisitely morphing as it bends around curves on a summer's coastal drive lending twilight to moonlight. Adding the uncanny trip-hop-esque "American Daydream" piques my interest for the unboxing of their [...]
Bands like Electric Guest are the reason the Alternative genre is able to consistently produce such fresh talent. Right when listeners think they have heard all that the genre has to offer, bands like EG emerge from the shadows. Fairly unknown band-mates Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton, have produced a project that B-Sides predicts will take flight faster than EG anticipated. In fact, MTV named EG as one of the top 12 bands to watch in 2012; quite the accomplishment. Their newest single, This Head I Hold, is saturated with a heavy dose of sunny-day energy and vibrancy. [...]
Electric Guest are a duo out of Los Angeles that have been picking up some buzz heading into their SXSW appearance. They also have a bunch of other tour dates set up along with an appearance at the Sasquatch Music Festival. The band is managed by Monotone Inc (Vampire Weekend, Jack White, The Shins) and their music is produced by Brian Burton (AKA Danger Mouse). With those big names in the music industry in mind, it is only fitting that they are pegged as one of the 2012 new bands that will break through. Asa Taccone [...]
The fact that Electric Guest's debut album was produced by Danger Mouse should be a pretty clear indication of the potential this duo out of Los Angeles has in their back pocket. Mondo is due out April 24th on Downtown Records, and initial single "This Head I Hold" has soul to spare and is nigh [...]

Los Angeles-based duo Electric Guest are set to release their debut studio album sometime this year, with their "Troubleman" and "American Daydream" single serving as the only taste of what they have to offer. That is, until now. The duo has let loose a video on YouTube of a brand new track called "This Head I Hold," which is likely to appear on their as-of-yet-untitled debut album. In the player above, you can watch the video for the song, which is simple in its execution, only showing the band playing the song on stage. Despite this, [...]
It's the ninth day of 2012, you're feeling a little down because you've already broken at least one of your four resolutions. You're at your desk and you're dragging a little bit with a full work week ahead of you. I feel your pain. But I have the anecdote and it comes in the form of Los Angeles band Electric Guest . The band was a breakout winner at CMJ, getting lots of love at the ATG official CMJ showcase . They just released their video for "This Head I Hold". It's a fun, warehouse performance with fantastic [...]
