Indie electronic duo, Auto Body, have just released a hot dance track that is making me rethink my self-imposed weeknight curfew. This Thursday, May 17th, they’ll be playing a record release show at Beauty Bar and I’m pretty sure it’s gonna get sweaty. Be sure to head to their website for a FREE download of their EP tomorrow!
You know, I’m not even going to pretend like I understand what the hell is going on here. I think the good news is that I don’t think I dislike it?
Bonde do Role finally has a new album coming our way June 26th on Mad Decent. I’m hoping this means we’ll have more weird videos to look forward to as well!
This remix from Maya Jane Coles is outstanding. Slow and low – and damn is it sexy.
Get ready for Lianne’s full length debut, Is Your Love Big Enough?, to drop August 7th
CocoRosie is streaming their new Dave Sitek-produced single, “We Are On Fire”, and it’s got a bit more of a Trip-Hop vibe to it than their previous work and I totally dig it.
The sisters Casady are releasing this single along with another track, “Tearz for Animals”, with frequent collaborator Antony Hegarty as an EP to be released in early June.
Seriously, this weather is giving my immune system a one-two punch to the chest and it’s killing me! Hopefully you all are better rested and less congested than I and will be able to enjoy some of the great shows we’ve got coming our way this week.
