Random wiki findings….. Ok, so maybe I’m taking my love of words to a totally nerdy levoe, but seriously, doesn’t this shit just blow your minds? (Taken from, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010) Among experts and the general public, there is a debate as to how specific years of …
L&E are the second band this week to be featured on our blog sporting the elusive keytar, and the third I’ve seen this week! This only confirms popular theories….
They have just signed to Tremendous Records, are blazing new pathways with their sexy 80s electro/freestyle/slap funk sounds out of Vancouver, BC and have opened for the likes of Chromeo, Amanda Blank and more.
Check out their ridiculously funky, and almost as good, revisitations of Phil Collins “In The Air Tonight” or Prince/Vanity’s “Nasty Girl”, on their myspace. Or, listen to their first single, Sex Video.
Here’s a little in-joke for all you adverphiles out there
For those who don’t know, a “Gift Lounge” is a room created for celebrities who attend awards shows, galas and such. These are a wacky concept and are generally a PR push for brands who cough up fat wads of cash for the opportunity to …
Three signs that you are going to see a good show. a) customers forking over wads of cash and weed to scalpers to get in. 2) women in line asking if you are on the guest list, BEGGING to let them in with you c) …
Bloodgroup are from Iceland. It’s very cold up there I hear, but they will heat you up with with day-glo electro-pop excitement. They’ve been getting love from the likes of industry shakers NME, and have appeared on various CMJ compilations
If this smokin’ pic isn’t enough to convince you, check out the video below from the Roskilde Festival; the crowd is going ape shit. We can only hope for a similar performance. They’ll be in town for NXNE, performing June 18 at The Musebox Showcase along with Norwegian cousins Pirate Love, You Say Party, We Say Die!, Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head, Green Go, and Language Arts. Alert to all nightstalkers, you can also snag them at Neutral on Saturday where they’ll perform at 3 am.
It was a short and blistering set delivered by the pretty boy buzz band decked in hipster-tight pants and fluorescent pink, green and yellow printed t shirts. Not that there’s anything wrong with a rock band looking pretty, as long as they are willing to …
Local Toronto artist and friend Rajni Perera will be featuring some of her work this friday march 20th at “1000 for $10 (each)”, a group show with the premise of cheap art that anyone can afford, and for $10 a piece they are delivering on …
Chris Taylor, founder of Last Gang Records has just pubically announced the release of a new striclty online/digital label, TREMENDOUS Records. The label will be handled by Grandtheft, aka Aaron Waisglass, of the Team Canada DJ’s.
“The label’s focus will be new, forward-thinking club/rock music. In the current climate of a global economic downturn, very evident within the music industry, it seems odd perhaps, to be starting a new label. Not when the label is intent on acting as a breeding ground for new talent; essentially TREMENDOUS is a well-run home for developing artists who are on the brink of breaking through to commercial success.”
Tremendous’s first release comes from the Danish electro/dance group, the Wong Boys, with the track, ‘Git UR Fuk On.’ Check out the DJ_ILLO_-_Git_Ur_Fuk_On_Remix.mp3 by Team Canada’s own DJ Illo or the music vid below.
