Harlem

2010-03-23T11:41:00.000+01:00

Austin's Harlem are the best new band! The best new take on Black Lips. OK it's narrow to say, OK Miami's Jacuzzi Boys are close as well, anyway they are both freaking awesome, but Harlem is for me at the moment some of the most addictive trashed out laid back 6-pack-in-the-sun-tunes I'v heard in long time. They made the Free Drugs LP back in 2008 which was great but are now signed to Matador and will release the new LP Hippies on April 6. And I'll tell you, Hippies is so freaking great! Opposed to bands in the Black Lips category, as I think of it, Jacuzzi Boys is the closest to a new Black Lips' sound (but nicer people hopefully), where as Harlem is more similar to the first The Strange Boys record called And Girls Club from In The Red last year, it's that more laid back bluesy, jazzy, rythm'n'bluesy garage rock. So that was a bit of thinking out loud there... but the point is I guess, check them all out if you didn't already knew them. Below both songs from the new Hippies LP with Harlem.

Julian Lynch

2010-03-22T13:18:00.002+01:00

Julian Lynch is a New Jersey based psych/ambient musician who have released on Olde English Spelling Bee and Underwater People Records, two of the best underground labels out there, his music is similar to other bands released on those labels that I love like Ducktails, Fluffy Lumber, Forest Swords etc. Julian Lynch released his first LP Orange You Glad on OESB in 2009 and is soon ready with the next one titled Mare also on OESB and we've got the first song from that one called In New Jersey, a beauuutiful low-key jazzy psych jam. Love a first listen (or something like that).

I'v recently been obsessed with San Francisco one man Joe Knight's project Rangers and his debut LP Suburban Tours out now on Olde English Spelling Bee. It's like ambient sci-fi Pan Am jingles, to put some labels on but go listen for yourself. He's also playing a bunch of SXSW shows if your there. It's the Suburban Tours cover art above and below mp3's and a video for Out Past Curfew.

Disconcerts (UK) + Melting Walkmen (DK) live @ Loppen

2010-02-22T11:51:00.000+01:00

Original Picture by Hedi Slimane

Disconcerts er Rick Trust, Alan Pilkington og Hugo Hamper-Potts fra Chichester, sydvest for London, alle tre et godt stykke under de 20 år. Disconcerts lyd befinder sig et stykke fra den typiske ‘London Scene’, og er skabt væk fra storbyens dømmende øjne og meningsdannende trends. Rick spiller pumpende og huggende, næsten jungle lignende trommer, mens Alan og Hugo tilføjer deres knivskarpe, men samtidigt umelodiøse, bass og guitar spil, som en slags anti lyd der ikke rigtigt passer ind, så lyden bliver skæv og aldrig ’for rigtig’. Disconcerts trækker spor til bands som Gang of Four, The Fall og Bowie’s Berlin albums, og kan af nutidens bands måske bedst sammenlignes med et andet engelsk band, These New Puritans, for deres fælles progressive og anderledes ’neo-punk’. Men Disconcerts er helt deres egen, og det beviser deres nye EP ‘A Medic’ fuldt ud. Disconcerts er ikke bare er en ny døgnflue på NME himmelen, eller ’London scenen’ om man vil, nej Disconcerts er uden tvivl et af de mest spændende og talenfulde bands vi har hørt fra England i årevis.

’Human Figure in Motion / Chance Remark’ 7’’ single og ’A Medic’ 12’’ EP er ude nu i begrænset oplag på henholdsvis Structurally Sound og Parlour Records.

2010-02-19T15:57:00.006+01:00

MGMT's sophomore titled Congratulations (Album cover above by Artist Anthony Ausgang) is coming April 13 on Columbia. It's gonna' be really really exiting to hear if they can take their music to new levels. I somehow feel like MGMT has enough integrity and talent to do that. Hopefully we have a first single sooon.

Tanlines / Lemonade

2010-02-11T13:28:00.003+01:00

New awesome sunshine bands, Tanlines from New York and Lemonade with members from both San Francisco and New York, has besides their shared passion for making awesome modern danceable beach/jungle/funk music and names that both leads the mind towards warmer places also both releases coming from the great label True Panther Sounds (who are also supposed to release the full length from the awesome Teengirl Fantasy though it seems like it's taking forever). Tanlines' 12'' EP Settings and Lemonade's Pure Moods are both coming out March 9. Lemonade also released a great S/T LP last year on True Panther Sounds as well. Preorder here.

Free Energy

2010-02-01T01:44:00.003+01:00

Free Energy is a five piece from Philadelphia and mark my words, these guys' 70s inspired classic pop rock are gonna' hit big time this year. These guys are like the American Phoenix meets 'Thunderstruck' meets LCD Soundsystem - it's seriously addictive!

Head over at DFA, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem's label, to get the extremely limited self titled debut 7'' Free Energy (350 copys) backed by the song Something in Common, both also produced by James Murphy. Free Energy's debut album, Stuck On Nothing, is out February 23rd. One of the big tips for the future! Check out video and mp3 under this.

Moon Duo

2010-01-25T22:52:00.003+01:00

Moon Duo is the absolute awesome new duo consisting of Wooden Shjips' Erik Johnson and his pal Sanae Yamada, both from San Francisco. Moon Duo has released the sold out 12'' Love on the Sea on Sick Thirst and the EP Killing Time EP on Sacred Bones and on February 16 Woodsist will release the debut full length Escape. But best of all ?

Moon Duo is visiting Copenhagen venue LADES on July 5, 2010. It's the new talented booker, Morten, booking the club in club called Teori & Praksis, who has done the decent thing and brought Moon Duo to Lades next summer, the first announced European show for Moon Duo ever. Nice one! This will be perfect post-Roskilde-post-hangover-summer-gig. Also check out the rest of the insanely awesome spring Teori & Praksis program here.

High Places

2010-01-25T11:58:00.003+01:00

The NYC duo High Places, currently settled in L.A. is back with a new single called On Giving Up taken from their forthcoming sophomore called High Places vs. Mankind out March 16. via Thrill Jockey (it's the cover art above this). It's a more upbeat song than usual High Places, also darker than the other High Places stuff, more complex, but very nice one I think, love this band. High Places are playing Rust in Copenhagen on May 13. For more new concerts see calendar on the right.

Jail Bait

2010-01-12T13:18:00.004+01:00

Jail Bait is a new band Matt from A.R.E. Weapons and TV baby (see here for prior post) has formed. Jail Bait are Matt and Brain from TV baby and the two young girls JR and Alex . They haven't released anything yet, doesn't have a myspace yet or anything (UPDATE:http://www.myspace.com/jailbaitband). But check them out in their only second live performance ever at LIT in NY just before christmas in the videos below courtesy of Stupid Girl. JR reminds me of a young Karen O and Alex must be the coolest female guitarist I'v seen in a long time.

The Middle East

2010-01-12T12:22:00.002+01:00

Beautiful new song from new Australian band The Middle East from Queensland. The song is called Blood and is taken from their EP simply called The Middle East EP.

These New Puritans

2010-01-11T21:19:00.003+01:00

The whole new album Hidden from These New Puritans is now streaming from their myspace. And wow what a great album, so modern. The vinyl is out Jan 18, the 10'' single We Want War is out now, both from Domino.

The Dutchess and the Duke

2010-01-06T19:11:00.004+01:00

The Ductchess and The Duke are Jesse Lortz and Kimberly Morrison from Seattle. The Dutchess and the Duke has been one of my favorite bands since they released their debut album She’s the Dutchess, He’s the Duke on Hardly Art back in 2008. Now they are back with the sophomore Sunset / Sunrise also on Hardly Art and with more of their instantly cathy Stones/Dylan/Reed-like folk rock, it's both clever lyrics and melody but also modern and sexy in it's punk and grungy attitude mixed with the familiar elements.

Mp3: The Dutchess & The Duke – Reservoir Park
Mp3: The Dutchess & The Duke – Hands

TV baby

2010-01-05T19:44:00.007+01:00

TV baby are Matt and Brain who are also members of the coolest band in the world, the New Yorkers A.R.E. Weapons. TV baby is their new side-project and sounds like somekind of weird mix of TV-Jingles and electro punk. It's really awesome, this is hardcore modern music as it should be from the greatest city in the world. TV baby's debut record Tube Screamers will be out in conjunction with an art book in April. More info and a mp3 to come.

Underwater Peoples Records - free mix

2009-12-26T12:05:00.004+01:00

The Washington based label Underwater Peoples Records is definitely one of my favorites. First they gave us the debut 7'' Suburban Beverage from Real Estate, one of the best songs of 2009, and since they have put out awesome releases with Family Portrait, Andrew Cedermark, Ducktails, Julian Lynch, Frat Dad and latest, the debut 12'' from Alex Bleeker and the Freeks. Alex Bleeker is also a member of Real Estate as well as Ducktails' Matthew Mondanile is.

Right now they have an awesome free to download 'Winter Review' mix available via Chocolate Bobka with several of the above named bands plus many great others, ex. Air Waves. Get the awesome mix here, but hurry it's only for a limited time.

Dum Dum Girls

2009-12-16T01:06:00.011+01:00

Another band I predict great great things for in 2010 is Dum Dum Girls from L.A. Dum Dum Girls is actually just a one-girl-band consisting of Dee Dee who started out doing the Dum Dum Girls project around a year ago. Dum Dum Girls has released a 12'' EP on Captured Tracks and a 7'' on Hozac as well as being a part of the Mayfair Set, a side-project band done with Mike, the guy behind the Captured Tracks label and the band Blank Dogs. Then back in July Dum Dum Girls signed to the great Sub Pop label for the debut full length as Dum Dum Girls, called I Will Be due to be released March 30, 2010, and for me at the moment, one of the most anticipated records of 2010. Dee Dee of Dum Dum Girls has also since the Sub Pop signing formed into a real (mostly live) band with 3 new members, Jules, Frankie Rose and Bambi. Dum Dum Girls is best described as Ramones meets Ronettes, blissful poprock.

The Bitters

2009-12-16T01:04:00.007+01:00

Canada seems to have a tendency to produce relatively few new bands, at least that we hear of, I guess that 's probably more it, but the thing is, almost all are got damn good bands. The latest Canadian band I really have fallen in love with is The Bitters from Toronto who I predict really great things for in 2010. The Bitters are Aerin Fogel and Ben Cook and their music is the greatest blend of lofi vocals, instantly cathy drums and hooks, you know the same labeling, but seriously some of the best of the kind I have heard in a long time, it's really different somehow. The Bitters' first full length East General drops from Woodsist first thing in the new year, plus a 12'' EP from Sacred Bones and a new 7'' on True Panther Sounds AND in the passed year they already dropped an aaawesome 12'' EP on Captured Tracks called Wooden Glove and the latest 7'' East on the same label.

Surfer Blood

2009-12-01T11:31:00.006+01:00

Surfer Blood is from West Palm Beach in Miami, and one of the most talked about bands of 2010 with their Astro Coast LP coming Jan 19 on Kanine. Surfer Blood play maximized, bombastic power pop/rock and they sound like, well.. neither of John, Tyler, Thomas or Brian in Surfer Blood actually surf.... so not surfing I guess. Joke aside, this is really rad!

Mp3: Surfer Blood – Swim (to Reach the End)

Mp3: Surfer Blood - Floating Vibes

Family Trees

2009-12-01T10:47:00.004+01:00

Family Trees is a new Brooklyn act consisting of Ryan Trott who makes a great, straight ahead, soundtrack for your summer, or for dreaming about the summer in the winter. All just laid back Beach Boys-like, sunshine pop/rock that makes me think of what a great year it has been for a sucker, like me, for this kind of music with the highlight being Real Estate's awesome self titled full length.

Download Family Trees entire WINDBREAKER 14 songs of 2009 for free here. And then let's hope he get signed soon so we can get this on vinyl.

Dominant Legs is the latest of the best from San Francisco, the band consist of Ryan William Lynch and Hannah Hunt and it's like funky Arthur Russell, or if Belle & Sebastian were formed in California in a sunny, loving day, but enough with the labeling, Dominant Legs is one of the most awesome new bands I'v heard in a while, instantly cathy music that makes me warm at heart! Dominant Legs are still unsigned (not for long), listen to two of their great songs below and make sure to buy there record soon as one comes out.

Mp3: Dominant Legs - Young at Love and Life

Ganglians

2009-11-09T21:37:00.014+01:00

Ganglians from Sacramento are a lot of things at the same time. Lofi happy pseudo folk, sometimes more loud garage style, Ganglians play a lot of different types of music, so fare proved on their debut Monster Head Room (which is mostly the first thing) on Weird Forest and also on their S/T, almost out the same time, second album on Woodsist (mostly the second thing) and now there is a new more Captured Tracks style 7'' on... Captured Tracks, called Blood on the Sand / Make it Up (which is more a third thing), see? very different types of music when talking about the same band. You are gonna hear a lot more to these Californians.

Mp3: ganglians - valient brave

Mp3: Ganglians – Lost Words

Mp3: Ganglians – Blood on the Sand

UPDATE: More great concert news, Ganglians will play Copenhagen's Loppen in June next year 2010, on the 17th they will come by Copenhagen and give us a taste of their psychedelic folk. It's a long time coming, but hey, great news!

These New Puritans

Finally announced! The new These New Puritans album Hidden are coming Jan. 18 on Domino. First single We Want War will be out Jan. 11 on 12'', order it here. Caan't wait! Track-list here.

Future Islands

2009-11-09T19:39:00.005+01:00

Really really awesome new song from Baltimore's Future Islands called Little Dreamer taken from their new LP Wave Like Home on Upset the Rhythm, kind of unusual Future Islands, more Beach House style (Victoria Legrand also appears on the remix version of this song) but with beautiful vocals and melody over hazy theme. Great song.

Also when we are at Beach House, they have announced their new album on SubPop called Teen Dream coming Jan. 25.

Mp3: Future Islands - Little Dreamer

Grizzly Bear

2009-11-09T00:46:00.003+01:00

New Grizzly Bear video to song Ready Able, my favorite song, from their album of the year contender Veckatimest. Great stuff.

Japandroids

2009-11-04T23:31:00.004+01:00

Amazing news, Canadian rockers from Vancouver, Japandroids, who have made one the best albums of the year Post Nothing are playing Copenhagen, Loppen, on Feb.4 2010.

Mp3: Japandroids- Young Heart Sparks Fire

UPDATE: Sadly for those of us who were looking forward to two great concerts on the 3rd and 4th February 2010, with Real Estate and Japandroids, the Japandroids show has now been moved on day ahead to the 3rd as well so they now play the same evening. What a shame and a hard choice it is now. I'd still go for Real Estate's laid back sunshine rock.

Real Estate

2009-11-03T00:20:00.005+01:00

Two really great new live videos of New Jerseys Real Estate, now resident in Brooklyn, from last weeks CMJ in NY captured by Chokolate Bobka. I really love this band and their chilled out laid back beach pop rock and it just make me wanna find the nearest beach and chill out and dream about palms and sunnier quiet places or Hawaiian love affairs. Also it's really amazing how good this band has become live over the last year. Check my other post on Real Estate and make sure to buy their debut album out on Woodsist on Nov.17 and remember they play LADES in Copenhagen Feb 3, 2010.

The Soft Pack

2009-10-16T15:53:00.004+02:00

I first ran into the band The Soft Pack about a year ago when they didn't go by that name, but the name The Muslims - the coolest band name I have heard in a long time. But soon they did change their name to The Soft Pack, I actually never found out why. Anyway, The Soft Pack are, as they were when they were The Muslims, Matt Lamkin on vocals, co-founder Matty McLoughlin on guitar, David Lantzman on bass and Brian Hill on drums, all from San Diego but now living in LA. Their untitled self-released debut 12'' was pressed up with one-of-a-kind artwork shot with bullet holes by a father of a friend, a former NYPD, and since then The Soft Pack released a couple of 7 inches, like double a side 7" 'brightside' / 'nighlife' and the 'extinction' ep on Merok records. Now the Soft Pack is out with new 7'' 'Answer to yourself' on Heavenly, a taster on their forthcoming soon to come full lenght. The Soft Pack are no-bullshit rock'n'roll and there is not much else to say than go check it out if you not already have done so.

Charlotte Gainsbourg

2009-10-16T15:29:00.003+02:00

Aaaawesome new single from Charlotte Gainsbourg ! called 'IRM' produced with Beck and taken from the forthcoming album by the same name. Charlotte has moved away from the very soft Air-like sound from her last album '5:55' and the song is definitely very Beck too, he has put the sound elements from his last Danger Mouse produced record into this work, but it's all very clever and catchy made and suits Charlotte's voice nicely. You can get the mp3 of the single for free here (you just need to sign up to a newsletter). The 'IRM' album is out Jan 10 next year.

DJing Drone tonight

2009-10-15T08:43:00.006+02:00

I'm DJing DRONE tonight with an all rock set (they think) no, mostly. I'v got all the new records with me, mixed with the old stuff and the weird stuff + surprises. It's just gonna be great music. Come by and support one of the last good progressive independent places on Norrebro that's left. DRONE opens at 20.00 tonight, cheap beers and cocktails. Free Entrance.

It's at Loppen tonight, don't miss out on this sure to be a great show. Tickets at the door from 21.00. Below is the new single 'Surf Solar'.

Mp3: Fuck Buttons - Surf Solar

Christmas Island

2009-10-06T13:00:00.003+02:00

Christmas Island is Brian and Lucy from San Diego. They make amazing California pop/rock late 70s early 80s style, Beach Boys style, really happy and fun, but also with darker and tougher elements. Christmas Island see the start of a series of releases. They have a debut coming now on In The Red called Blackout Summer, Captured Tracks is releasing a 7'' S/T with them, and also a 12'' on Woodsist and a split on Sacred Bones are coming from Christmas Island.

MP3: Christmas Island - Bed Islan d

Neon Indian

2009-10-06T12:14:00.002+02:00

Also this guy Alan Palomo who calls himself Neon Indian is worth mentioning in connection with my other posts about bedroom lo-fi poppers like Washed Out and Toro y Moi. Neon Indian is more like lo-fi tapemusic, like Daft Punk on the beach. His debut 'Psychic Chasms' is out October 13 on Lefse.

MP3: Neon Indian – Terminally Chill

MP3: Neon Indian – Deadbeat Summer

Fergus & Geronimo

2009-10-06T12:05:00.004+02:00

Fergus & Geronimo are Andrew Savage and Jason Kelly from Denton, Texas. Andrew also plays in band Teenage Cool kids and Jason in band The Wax Museums, both Denton bands also. But Fergus & Geronimo is more pop. The band cites 60s pop and motown as influences, but there is still some lo-fi and psychedelic sound mixed up in there. It's 'lo-town'! Anyway go get their new 7'' 'Blind Muslim Girl' from Tic Tac Totally, out now. On it is single of the year contender 'Powerful Lovin' '. This is rad stuff!

MP3: fergus & geronimo - tell it in my ear

Toro y Moi

2009-10-06T11:23:00.004+02:00

Chaz Bundick aka Toro y Moi hails from Columbia, South Carolina, and like Washed Out (see previous post) he makes extremely addictive lo-fi, experimental pop music. The amount of this kind of music is obviously huge at the moment but so is the quality of almost all of it. But where Washed Out is more kind of lofi disco or something, Toro y Moi can also make this more kind of Ariel Pink style pop rock, like songs '109' or 'Dead Pontoon', where 'Talamak' and 'Blessa' is prove of what these two have in common. Also find a Toro y Moi remix of Washed Out's 'Feel it all Around'. Toro y Moi has a new 7'' coming with songs 'Blesse' and b side '109' on Carpark.

MP3: toro y moi - blessa

MP3: Toro y Moi - Talamak

MP3: Washed Out - Feel It All Around (Toro Y Moi remix)

Washed Out

2009-09-30T22:09:00.002+02:00

Washed Out aka Ernest Greene from Georgia has caused massive buzz in the bloggers world the last couple months. The music of Greene's Washed Out is like sunshine pop lofi disco/house, the point is, it's very addictive. Washed Out's limited debut 12'' Life of Leisure is coming on Mexican Summer on October 20, but hurry up, it's gone before you know it. The digital version is available now also from Mexican Summer.

Mp3: Washed Out - Get Up

The Magic Kids

2009-09-30T19:40:00.004+02:00

Also you need to check out this amazing new band, Magic Kids, from Memphis, Tennessee, making instantly cathy Wilson/Spector, pop/rock songs. They have just released a 7'' on Goner (it's the cover above) with the way too awesome songs 'Hey Boy' and 'Good to be'.

MP3: Magic Kids - Hey Boy

MP3: Magic Kids - Good To Be

Concerts - Loppen

2009-09-30T11:39:00.004+02:00

What great gig Alela Diane played at Loppen in Copenhagen on Monday. I really hope you didn't miss this - she's like double as good live as on record! First of all her voice is mind-blowing, and then she and her band, with her father, Tom Menig, on mandolin and slide are just so well played together. Alela Diane mostly played songs from her latest album 'To Be Still' but also all time favorits like 'The Rifle' from 'The Pirates Gospel' were performed. Also check out Laura Gibson, who warmed up for Alela Diane, is an amazing folk singer you should definitely check out.

Tonight you should definitely go to Loppen again and see Camera Obscura from Glasgow, still tickets available at the door.

Ducktails

2009-09-24T17:13:00.006+02:00

Ducktails is a side project of Real Estate's Matthew Mondanile. I mentioned Ducktails for the first time months back in connection with my first post on Real Estate (who's debut album, by the way, has finally got a release date, which is Nov.17 on Woodsist - wuhu! ), in the meantime I have grown such a passion for Ducktails music, amazingly psyched out, sunny, pseudo pop, that I now have to mention them properly. Ducktails has several releases out, a couple of split 7'' etc, a self titled debut LP on Not Not Fun and the new 'Landscapes' LP out on Olde English Spelling Bee. Get it all here.

MP3: Ducktails – Landrunner

MP3: Ducktails - Beach Point Pleasant

Bibio

2009-09-24T16:50:00.003+02:00

On his myspace Bibio describes his music as Swing / Folk / Pop, maybe add Ambient / Electronic to those labels and I think we are almost there. Behind Bibio is Stephen Wilkinson from the West Midlands, who released his latest record 'Ambivalence Avenue' back in June but I haven't really had the time to listen to it, too many new records I guess, but now I have.. and holy s... it's great! Instantly cathy, just awesome music, sometimes melancholic, sometimes cool pop electro stuff. On the ever impressing Warp Records. You need this, perfect for the fall coming.

MP3: Bibio - Ambivalence Avenue

MP3: Bibio - All The Flowers

The Lasters

2009-09-24T16:27:00.003+02:00

The Lasters are all punk is the meaning of the word, pissed off and obviously don't give a fuck. The Lasters are New Yorkers but based in LA, they have just released the self recorded, extremely limited 7'' 'Idiot Jerk Parade' on their own Futilitarian Records and now exclusively available from In The Red, only 200 available and all labels handlettered - wow! A mix somewhere between Ramones and Jay Reatard, anyway, The Lasters really have something, so hurry over at In The Red to get your copy!

MP3s

2009-09-23T18:34:00.002+02:00

I have now finally found out how to add MP3s to my posts, wuhuu! So now all the old post also have MP3 for you to enjoy, of course it's not all bands that has MP3s available. And of course you should really, seriously buy this stuff anyway. K

Disconcerts

2009-09-23T11:34:00.005+02:00

Disconcerts is the new thing, and the best thing in a long time, to come from Britain, Chichester more specifically. Disconcerts are Rick, Alan and Hugo, who join bands like These New Puritans and Factory Floor as my favorite neo/post/punk bands coming from Britain at the moment. They play violent, heavy, razor sharp, bad-ass post-rock, with breaks in drums and riffs that gives it a new angle and a vocal that is a bit similar with The Horrors. Their new limited 12'' EP 'A Medic' is out and available Oct. 5 from Parlour Records.

Salem

2009-09-23T11:19:00.004+02:00

Just received the new SALEM 7'' Frost / Legend out on Audraglint Records, matte sleeve with silver foil embossing, another great limited SALEM single, now we start look forward to an album, hopefully not as limited as their 7 inch singles.

SALEM :: frost

ICE AGE

2009-09-15T11:48:00.030+02:00

ICE AGE are Dan, Jakob, Elias and Johan from Copenhagen. ICE AGE make fuzzy tropical-punk-noise rock that recalls great L.A. bands like Health and Abe Vigoda (They also played with Health at Bolsjefabrikken a couple of weeks ago) but also UK band Test Icicles, and, for me, ICE AGE are some the best new stuff I have heard coming from Denmark in a long time. ICE AGE has a debut 7" out on Escho records, Nis', from the great band Thulebasen, label. Buy the ICE AGE debut 7'' here.

_______________________

DRONE er stolt af at kunne give dig muligheden for at opleve endnu et af de mest spændende nye rockbands pt. nemlig NODZZZ fra San Francisco. NODZZZ udgav sidste år deres selvtitlet debut, en af 2008 mest bemærkelsesværdige plader på pladeselskabet What's your Rupture?, efter deres "killer" debut 7'' single 'I Don't Wanna (Smoke Marijuana), som lyn hurtigt solgte ud. Nu er de klar med deres sprit nye 7'' single 'True to Life/Good Times Crowd', også på What Your Rupture?, og en europa tour, som nu altså også bringer dem forbi DRONE. NODZZZ pladen vokser lyn hurtigt på dig efter første lyt. Som Pitchfork beskriver, er det intelligent 'low-rent, cold-beers-in-the-hot-sun vibe', men NODZZZ er også, som Damian Abraham fra bandet Fucked Up beskriver NODZZZ: "It's the album Pavement would have made if they were formed in the U.K. in 1982 instead of 1989 in California". Seriøst, start med bare at gå ind og hør 'I Don't Wanna (Smoke Marijuana)', så ved du hvad der er i vente. Vi siger det endnu en gang: do not miss out! FRI ENTRE.

- Rough Trade: "You can hear the simple american pleasures of baseball, road trips and late summer within, plain as day within this record. more specifically, you can hear three guys examining where punk became something more, between notions of power pop and advanced songwriting on the embarrassment / big dipper / pointed sticks axis, but with the economy of the minutemen or beat happening. they're in and out before you know it, having firmly planted the seeds of catchy melodies between your ears."

Real Estate is one of my favorite bands at the moment and my god I look forward to their debut full length on Woodsist this fall. Here's a live video from Chokolate Bobka where Real Estate perform Green River and Suburban Beverage. Notice how awesome it sounds when Green Riwer flows into Suburban Beverage which is just a fantastic song.

The Antlers

2009-08-17T11:59:00.008+02:00

I have been listening to one specific record on repeat for a long time now called Hospice, the debut from the three guys, Peter, Michael and Darby, in New York's The Antlers. I gotta say that it's a long time a records has moved me this way, especially the songs 'Kettering', 'Sylvia' and 'Atrophy' really gets me, some of the most beautiful stuff I have heard in a long time, but really the whole record is just awesome. It's ambient, grandiose, quiet and anthemic, all at the same time. Frenchkiss has done the decent thing and given it a widespread release after the band self released it in the beginning of the year. Under this text you will find a link for brand new video for the song 'Two' and a live video from Pitchfork Festival 2009.

2009-08-13T13:29:00.005+02:00

First of all, thanks to everyone who showed up and supported when the Strange Boys played at Drone on the 6th. Thanks - great night!

So as you might saw on the calendar, the next great gig at DRONE in Copenhagen will be San Francisco's NODZZZ. NODZZZ are Sean, Anthony and Eric who play this amazing quirky low key rock'n'roll that recalls california, the sun, freedom, low-rent, cold-beers-in-the-hot-sun vibe. NODZZZ released their self titled debut last year on What's Your Rupture? after the killer 7" 'I Don't Wanna (Smoke Marijuana)', which instantly sold out. Now they are ready with their new single 'True to Life/Good Times Crowd', also on What's your Rupture?, and a european tour. The NODZZZ records is a real grower on you, and with it's only 16 min spread out on 10 songs, the songs works like small, fun, yet serious, rock jangles that instantly catch the ear and stays with you. NODZZZ will make you rock while your laughing. Don't miss this!. September 3 @ Drone 21.00. Free Entrance. DRONE or DRONE

Nisennenmondai

2009-07-27T18:34:00.011+02:00

Nisennenmondai are Yuri, Sayaka and Masako, 3 girls from Tokyo. The name, Nisennenmondai, means "Year 2000 problem" and maybe you have heard about these girls before. They have played together since college, but the first time I heard about them was last year after bands like Battles, No Age, Prefuse 73, Hellas and recently Gang Gang Dance among others, came home from gigs in Tokyo telling about these girls, in this band, blowing their heads off. I had to hear this band's music and it could not go fast enough. Luckily for me Smalltown Supersound released the girls two EP's, "Tori" and "Neji" as one album around that time, and for the first time outside Japan. Now I have recently discovered that Smalltown Supersound has released another record with this amazing band called "Destination Tokyo". Whereas "Tori/Neji" is much more violent and noisy record, "Destination Tokyo" is much more clean and danceable records, but both records still have a lot in common. It's Sonic Youth meets Neu! meets Tokyo, but most of all it's unique and its own. Tori/Neji and Destination Tokyo is out on CD and Digital from various places, unfortunately not on vinyl. Go get it!

Nisennenmondai – Mirrorball

Also check out this insane live video of the song Mirrorball - look how badass the drummer Sayaka is!! Such little women, so big power!

Girls

2009-07-14T16:31:00.007+02:00

Girls are Christopher Owens and Chet JR White from San Francisco. They make badass lofi neohippie songs about life and everything under and above. Girls wants "to conjure up auditory memories of listening to a Beach Boys song out of an old car speaker", says the band and that pretty much sums up what Girls sounds like. Girls debut album is due September 22 on True Panther Sounds. Also Girls go on tour in Europe this fall, sadly they won't come by Copenhagen but hey, they'll hit Malmo venue Debaser on September 25, so that's almost as close as it could get anyway.

Pearl Harbour are Sky and Piper (cool names, huh?) from L.A. and they make some of the best and catchy lo-fi pop songs I have heard in a long time. For now there's only a CD-R called 'Calistonia Dreamin' Sessions' (Cool name again, huh?) with handmade cover art, you can order it via their myspace. In October this fall Pearl Harbour will release their first 12'' called 'Something About the Chaparrals' on Mexican Summer.
