Starfucker!
I really get Starfucker. This is because I have always wanted to hold a terribly depressing dance party in my apartment. Starfucker has managed to take that feeling and compress it into one self-titled album. There are three members of Starfucker, although I have no idea what their names are. Come to think of it,… Continue reading Starfucker!
Team Genius
8 members + inspiration = Team Genius. Allan’s World of Music introduced me to this band which has recently come out with a self-titled debut cd. They want people to get silly and dance listening to their music, with a mix of several instruments to create a kiddy, multi-layered, yet catchy effect. Drew Hermiller and… Continue reading Team Genius
Bodebrixen
If you want more proof that Europeans are much more fun than Americans, here’s Bodebrixen. They hail from Denmark, the land of good music, and give us strange, fun janglypop (ala Suburban Kids With Biblical Names). Using horns, guitars, synth and harmonization, they create a very pure, wondrous sound. Their sound is certainly nothing groundbreaking, but… Continue reading Bodebrixen

King Khan & BBQ Show at Sonar
King Khan & BBQ Show are quite possibly the most exciting duo to take any stage this year. They are made up of Canadians Blacksnake (King Khan) and Mark Sultan (BBQ), both former members of Spaceshits, and will be playing at Sonar in Baltimore this Wednesday. Their recordings sound like old 1950s garage band tapes,… Continue reading King Khan & BBQ Show at Sonar
Shiny Toy Guns At 9:30 Club
Oklahoma’s own dancerockpunk and sometimesemo band, Shiny Toy Guns, is playing at the 9:30 Club this Tuesday. Again, I can’t go (still poor) but like always, you still can for a “meh” price of $20! The group is touring on their latest Album, Season of Poison, which came out earlier this month. I haven’t heard… Continue reading Shiny Toy Guns At 9:30 Club
