blur’s midlife crisis…

 
One of the greatest British bands ever. Bar none. Without question. One word. Blur. I could go list the top songs the quartet bestowed upon us over the years. She’s So High, For Tomorrow, Popscene, Girls & Boys, This Is A Low, Stereotypes, Entertain Me, Death Of A Party, No Distance Left To Run, etc… Like [...]

paul banks: i am julian plenti…

 
Oh Interpol…how much do I love thee? Words simply can’t properly describe.  The indie rock world was turned on its ear when the epic 2002 debut Turn On The Bright Lights came to the fore. In my not so humble opinion, that record set the stage for the return of dark, atmopsheric post-punk and set [...]

the mystic underground live it up…

Yes friends. Another shoutout to another NYC band. The Mystic Underground and their scintillating brand of electronic pop are performing this evening,the 19th of May, at Lit Lounge. It’s strongly advised if you indeed live in the metropolitan New York area that you attend this show. The band will perform songs from their recently released [...]

so filthy it hurts…

 

 
Did you break your neck bopping your head to Tupac Robot Club Rock? Feel you simply had to take a shower after indulging in the sizzling electro-sleaze that was This Rhythm? Or maybe find yourself close to aural climax dancing to Messages? Congratulations. The Filthy Dukes have made [...]

the boys have done it again…

“You don’t have to be in Who’s Who to know what’s what
You don’t have to be a high flier to catch your slot
The night we met was cold and wet
I needed a drink or two
I saw you standing there and I knew
I’d like to be loved by you”
As we move on [...]

the chariot makes a stop at arlene’s grocery…

Tonight dear friends, Electric Chariot is performing at Arlene’s Grocery in NYC. 95 Stanton Street in the Lower East Side to be exact. If you are in the area, please do make it a point to see them. They deserve your attention. An album is on the horizon but first they will take some time [...]

these guys made me just have to post…

Always a pleasure to look in the BillySuedeRox@gmail.com inbox to find some submissions on the blog and even more so from awesome artists like Heads We Dance. Haven’t heard of them? Well…you should. Another in the long line of solid UK bands ready to break out in the ‘09, this electro-rock trio was so kind [...]

miss me?

Hello gang!
Sorry for the lack of posts recently. The Suede HQ is preparing as best as possible for an untimely and unexpected relocation. Yes indeed, I’ve gotta leave my place. So while I get my things together and figure out my next step, I realise I’ve left you guys stranded a bit. Please do accept [...]

la roux is bulletproof…

“I won’t let you turn around, 
and tell me now I’m much too proud, 
to walk away from something when it’s dead”
Yes I know you guys are probably very sick of my incessant posting about La Roux. Allow me to explain. They are brilliant! I can’t help it. The songs stick to my [...]

pleasure is no fun if it’s only temporary…

 
Since the Chemical Brothers decided to drop the baton as well as the beat, Simian Mobile Disco more than ably were able to pick that baton up and run with it with such mega tracks such as Hustler, I Believe & It’s The Beat. 2007’s debut smash record, Attack Decay Sustain Release reminded us how mind-numbing [...]
