Savior
By Field Theory
Download : MP3 Audio

These days arent filled with much more chorus than the chaos of my life on the road, so when a few solid notes trickle their way into my ears by accident, it feels like solace and Brooklyns Field Theory are my most current provider. They dropped Evidence & Sentiments in late August following a summer of binging on bicycle rides, nicotine patches and the suns lovely rays experiences I can easily envision and live vicariously through while listening to Savior and even the smoother Whos Paying Attention Anyway. The quartet seem to harbour a surprising understanding of originality (which in and of itself makes them worthy of your attention), and does it via delicacy, post-punk energy and a pinch of pop-sensibility.

Apollo Run Live at Webster Studio Jan 28th

Love Song

Brooklyn's Apollo Run returns from Los Angeles to play the Studio at Webster Hall on January 28th at 930PM. Come see why press are describing the dynamic trio's sound as "falling somewhere between a stripped down, recession-era form of Queen or Muse, (sans all the cosmic (and keyboard-y) spiritual references) or even Beirut, with John McGrew and bassist Jeff Kerestes at the helm dripping with the swagger of stars from the arena rock days, as drummer Graham Fisk rolled right along as every song proved an encore-worthy thrill with jumping, screaming, swaying, instrument hugging, table-dancing and a set-closing a cappella stomp-along." www.apollorun.com

Native bay arians, Stomacher is playing Cafe Du Nord with Mister Loveless Feb. 5th in support of their 3rd full length Lp "Sentimental Education." The music is an interesting mix between gloomy down tempo and an indie pop sensibility, which seems to be an intricately plotted step above their past. The impressions are in the details and the attention. For fans of Interpol, Pearl Jam, Tears for Fears and Radiohead. Video is compliments of Jenny R. enjoy!

The Demonstration EP

Any forward-thinker knows that constanly pushing the boundaries is essential. Its apparent that Efvee is a forward-thinker, no matter what the medium is. A visual artist and composer currently residing in Los Angeles, he's living proof that not everyone goes to sleep for the most obvious reasons. "I sleep so I can wake up and paint my dreams" "With The Demonstration Ep, I really worked on putting out a cohesive record. Headphone music that is not a compilation of beats, but formulated like a movie. This record is four tracks that feels like one long composition. Just like a photo I feel music is worth a thousand words as with this record. Im really looking forward to the listeners reaction to The Demonstration EP".

Whooping up a raucous racket of riff rock

Since their initial performance in early 2008, mere months after their first rehearsal, the Brooklyn trio WHOOPING CRANE has been whooping up a raucous racket of riff rock that's winning over everyone from hipsters (several congregate outside the group's rehearsal room when they're too broke to get into shows), to heads, to Harvard grads (who paid the band a princely sum to whip up a whiskey-fueled brunch frenzy on the day of the big game against Yale). Guitarist/vocalist Michael Lo ("Big Sir") boasts an impressive musical pedigree, having recorded and/or toured with artists ranging from heady disco pioneers The Phenomenal Handclap Band to Latin soul legend Joe Bataan to garage and punk luminaries such as Richard Lloyd and Tav Falco's Panther Burns. He and drummer Bushwick Ronnie Seward have been serious crate-digging DJs for over 10 years. Not surprisingly, when they got together, they tailored Whooping Crane's sound around influences they loved, striving to combine all the elements of their favorite DJ selections into one musical manifesto: heavy blues-based rock with creamy guitar tones, funky soul rhythms and a good dose of psychedelic and Krautrock flourishes, topped off with cowbells, fuzz bass, hooky choruses and an overall jivey, blissed-out, good-time spirit. Could it be done? You bet your ass - the addition of former Sophistos bassist Keith Avenue brought this grand vision to fruition, and the Crane took to the stage almost immediately. The band is often joined onstage and in the studio by vocalist Kathleen Cholewka (of Discovery, Les Sans Culottes and Madam Robot & the Lust Brigade) and blues harp player Brian Hurd (of The Electric Shadows and Daddy Long Legs.) Whooping Crane's 6-song EP, Riffin' For Rent, is now available and receiving airplay on various radio stations such as WFMU, WKDU in Philadelphia even in North Dakota (where it has remained a staple of the "Psychedelic Velveeta" show). The group will soon be recording a new single for Philly's Rocktits crew, and an east coast mini-tour is in the works for Spring 2010 as well. UPCOMING SHOWS: JAN 28: Coco 66, with Madam Robot. JAN 30: MATCHLESS, with Sorceress and La Otracina. FEB 10: Otto's Shrunken Head. FEB 20: Martini Red. FEB 26: Otto's Shrunken Head. MAR 27: The Funhouse (Bethlehem, PA).

Haakon's Fault is starting off 2010 in a huge, huge way, returning to Rockwood Music Hall for a late night show on Fri Jan. 29. The show will start around midnight and will move into the wee hours of the morning. Due to the recent devastation in Haiti, we have decided to donate all proceeds of this show to charitable foundations supporting the Hatian relief efforts. While attendance to this show is free, we are hoping that anyone in attendance will help the cause by donating a few dollars to the tip jar. Anything you can donate would be great, no matter how large or small the amount.

Starmania Quand on arrive en ville is a song closed to our hearts. We love it. Its a song inked in the heritage of the French songs and it has been often digged on the turntable in our parents living-room. We enjoyed working on it and the electro remix has much entertained us. We began it this summer in Amsterdam. Originally, It was a electro-techno-trash remix which after many listenings did not please us so much. Therefore, when we met once again at the end of year in Avignon, we did it again ! Its more groovy, more electro, more energising, more kitsch, more funky, more captivating
