xmas with neil and chris…

 
Sure to cap off what has been one of the best years in their storied history, the Pet Shop Boys are set to release a Christmas EP simply titled….Christmas. It’s due to be released on 14 December in the UK with no US date at the moment and includes five tracks. One of these tracks [...]

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 [...]

every little earthquake…

“How many countless nights
I try me best to hide
Soon as you slam the door
My tears fall to the floor
I know that people change
Maybe your not to blame
But must you burn a hole
So deep into my soul“
Oh dear Victoria. You really shouldn’t have! They say the third time’s the charm and I [...]

don’t look now…here come the bunnymen!

Look. This band needs no introduction. The band were a perfect blend of the Doors, Bowie and the last vestiges of punk. A lead singer who not only was cool but personified the word and gave it a new meaning and thus offering a blueprint for future frontmen to adopt and follow. A guitarist who [...]

dearest marina, you are my latest flame…

“Oh Lord,
I have been told
I must take the unforsaken road
There’s a fork in the road
I’ll do as as I am told
I don’t know
Who I want to be”
I have a confession to make.  It’s true I have a new crush. I’ve kept her quiet and under wraps for a while now but [...]

dark angels rise and cross the horizon…

“the time for revelation’s gone now
we can stand on our own feet
do you believe in power
while they march in their divisions
we’ll go dancing on their dreams
While the empires crash down”
Fresh off the release of their debut full-length Midnight Of The Century, we have the promotional film for the single Flight Of [...]

white lies webster hall 25.09.2009

So there I was at good old Webster Hall, the site where I came of age as a wee young lad dancing to house and techno music under the lights. I marveled at all at my fellow club-goers, the club kids in their beautiful outfits and outrageous antics… Those were the days…but I digress.  White [...]

we ain’t nothing but mammals…

I dare say it’s not every day one comes across a band born, bred and based out of the great state of Connecticut. Oftentimes,  the more talented musicians play out enough times before realising their time is much better utilised by simply packing up shop and moving to New York to try their luck. I [...]

why aren’t these gents signed yet?

My love affair with the Dossier has been know for quite some time now if you’ve been keeping up. Their brand of  electro-pop is one that is both smart, snazzy and oh so dramtic. It’s a crime more people haven’t heard them. I’m doing my part by writing about them as often as humanly possible. [...]

parralox is back…

They came from the land down under with a brand new single and record. They would happen to be the fine electronic duo, Parralox. I should mention there is another new aspect to the band: A new singer. Exit stage left goes Roxy as we’re introduced to Amii who appears to [...]
