who are you and what have you done with julian casablancas?

First things first. I am a Strokes fan. Check that. I am a HUGE Strokes fan. Dating back to the first time playing at Arlene’s Grocery way back when then getting my filthy mitts on The Modern Age EP, I was smitten with this band who quickly became the pride of New York and the [...]

these girls fall like dominos…

“As soon as I love her it’s been too long
And I really loved breaking your heart
These silver apples will shine on I was wrong
The hardest love has the coldest end”
From London with love comes The Big Pink. A brash duo consisting of Robbie Furze (vox, guitars) and Milo Cordell (keys) who’ve [...]

they are women, hear them roar!

Back from my near week-long sojourn into the ether, I have indeed returned, my dear friends!
Early last week, I witnessed a truly fun show put together by the members of the band, Electric Chariot to appreciate and highlight local female fronted bands. When I was told of this idea, I thought it was definitely a [...]

i’ll sign up for these clinical trials…

I think it’s fair to say that I love my city and have no problems representing it when at all possible. What makes it so much easier is when there is such a treasure trove of artistry that constantly replenishes itself. One such example is a new band called Clinical Trials fronted by one Somer [...]

who doesn’t love friendly fires?

“Rub that line out of the sky
I can feel the night crawl
A broken drum and tambourine
Rub that line out of the sky
I can see the clouds form
Taking shape in front of me”
I’m going to take a wild stab in assuming that if you’re reading this blog, you’re already well aware of [...]

procon – turn it up, up, up, up, up!

The party doesn’t stop with our friends from the Great White North. It’s the long awaited second single and promotional film for Toronto’s Procon! This one is called Lunar Hammer and after witnessing the video, one can draw their own conclusions as to what a lunar hammer is. I know I [...]

the electric chariot of fire makes a stop tonight…

 
Yes. Time for another plug! NYC Suede-heads! If you’re loitering around the Bowery and are in the mood for some quality electronic rock, go to the Mansion. A band near and dear to my heart, Electric Chariot will be performing at 11pm tonight at Crash Mansion, located at 199 Bowery. It’s a show not to [...]

burn the negative…

Hailing from the English Northwest, I’d like you to meet Burn The Negative. A promising electro-rock band that has been making waves in their native UK and I believe it’s only a matter of time before the word gets out amongst the hipster cogniscenti here. The Guardian describes the band as [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
