Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary, better known as the German dance-music duo Modeselektor, aren’t afraid to expand the horizons of techno in their productions. Studio collaborations with Thom Yorke of Radiohead, noisemeister Otto von Schirach and fellow techno traveler Apparat are evidence of that. In their DJ sets, such as…
As the longtime host of the BBC Radio 1 shows Essential Selection and Essential Mix, Pete Tong is arguably one of the most influential DJs in the world. Beamed across the U.K. and the world, those shows have introduced millions of listeners to the latest and greatest sounds in dance…
It’s hard to put your finger on Plastic Fantastic Lover’s music. Most of it falls somewhere between a folkier Tom Waits and a mildly psychotic take on the Grateful Dead’s mellow, hippie-folk side. But then it takes a turn into something like electronic down-tempo for a track or two before…
This week’s flier is so freaking awesome, it wasn’t even close. Just look upon the freakish majesty of this five-eyed, skull/owl beast and weep in the face of its power. There’s really no other option. The fact that it’s a flier for the return of d.biddle to these shores (metaphorically…
This week, we’ve decided to select a favorite Twit from among the masses and press him to justify his following. Our selection is @CacheFlowe (aka Justin Gitlin), a local musician/artist/technical whiz-kid with a hand in many a music and/or art project around town. Plus, if you like your men nerdy,…
This Friday, the Epilogues will be returning home from tour with the Photo Atlas and both bands are celebrating with a dual CD release show at the Marquis. But if this impending event has you jumping up and down with anticipation, relax — you don’t have to wait to hear…
Dressy Bessy’s been putting out videos at a good clip lately, and who can blame them? The group is showing the same penchant for fun eye candy that it’s shown for fun ear candy for years. The most recent exhibit is this video for “Simple Girlz,” which features a simple,…
We’re suckers for a good cause, especially if all we have to do to do good is go to a bar, have a few beers and hear some kick-ass tunes. That being the case, next Wednesday offers up a fine opportunity to do exactly that, and get in the proper…
It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from local lo-fi ambient popsters George&Caplin (in part, presumably, because Jeffrey Wentworth Stevens was busy recording a pair of killer EPs with Joe Sampson as Wentworth Kersey) but we’ve just received word that the duo have new material incoming. The first release…
If you make it out to Moe’s next Thursday, October 29, you can catch a bill of Light Travels Faster, Night Owl and Portamento. If you like Light Travels faster (and you probably will; our A.H. Goldstein said the band has a “dense, textured and harmonically rich sound [that] melds…
Feeling funny today? Well, here’s your chance to win a fabulous prize — supposing you consider a personal voicemail message from the dudes of 3Oh!3 to be a “fabulous prize.” All you have to do is head over to the band’s website and leave a comment suggesting a funny caption…
Today’s freakshow is something of an Internet classic, and no doubt many of you are already well familiar with the singing, dancing insanity of the Japanese boy-band parody “Yatta.” But classics gain that status for a reason, so you can stand to watch it again so your less well-informed colleagues…
All too often, people get so hung up on the fantastic future we didn’t get that they can’t focus on the even-crazier one we did. You know the complaints: “Where’s my flying car? Why can’t I live forever? When do I get to visit the moon?” But flying cars are…
Hey Guys, So, your last show is this Saturday, October 24 at the Bluebird. I understand that circumstance dictates it, but it makes me sad. You guys have been one of my favorite bands over the past three years since I first saw you live at the Donnybrook Bastille Day…
After he was hit by a bus while riding his bike, Brendt Barbur could have given up riding; it would have been the logical thing to do. Instead, he was inspired to start the Bicycle Film Festival, now in its ninth year. “I wanted to do something positive for bikes…
At some point in the future, all music is going to transmogrify into one big crazy-ass mess of sound, and the smart money says that future fusion is going to sound a lot like what Mochipet — aka David Wang — is doing right now. He’s worked with everyone from…
The aesthetics of this week’s flier match the aesthetics of the band so well, we couldn’t help but pick it as our top design of the week — that, and the dude with the pipe reminded us of our stint in the Church of the SubGenius (all hail Bob!). The…
Halloween is rapidly approaching and we’re already a-quiver with excitement. Next to New Year’s Eve, Halloween is probably the biggest excuse of the year for adults to go out and act foolish and immature — good times! We can’t wait to see the parade of sexy witches, sexy vampires, sexy…
Updated: The farewell performance is Saturday, October 24, not Friday. DJ Miss Audry, one of the best-known female DJs in the city, is retiring after more than a decade behind the decks. “It’s been a long and amazing DJ ride for me, but after thirteen years, I have decided to…
