Stream the March 1st episode of East Village Radio’s Guilty Pleasures HERE - careful, it downloads a link and launches your mp3 app automatically. We had so much fun doing this over the past two weeks, so thank you to Elhaam, who was busy getting engaged to Mat during their trip to Leeds- congrats guys! Bear in Heaven joined us in studio, they were only going to stick around for 20 minutes but ended up helping out with the better part of the show. I probably should have gotten a picture. Hmmmm. Amazeballs photo opps aside we had 2 world premieres- Penguin Prison’s “The Worse It Gets” and Sally Shapiro’s “Swimming Through the Blue Lagoon” (Boat Club Remix), the original of which appropriately enough is off her album My Guilty Pleasure. There you have it.

It is indeed the morning after the Morning After Girls show at the Mercury Lounge in NYC. The gig was the first of two dates (the other is in Los Angeles tomorrow) to preview new material for their upcoming release, Alone. All eyes were glued to the 5 guys in front of us showing their new take on the gospel according to reverb. This time around there are way more hooks and melodies- as in they’ll stick in your head regardless of whether you know the damn lyrics. Not to worry; it still comes complete with plenty of fuzzy riffs, tamborine bangin’ loud as hell and yup, haircuts that could cut glass. Got noise? Bring it on. In conclusion here is the jist of a backstage convo we had with one of our fave noise band drummers outta Brooklyn:
“Erm, you know, take Pop. Pop is great. It’s everywhere. But Rock ‘n’ Roll is like sushi. Seriously just give me drums and a guitar. A bass, maybe some keys. People want Rock ‘n’ Roll. They might not know it, but they need it. Like, a punch. A punch in the face. I’ll take a punch anyday. Actually just a slap in the face, just enough to make you go Whoa.”
*If* anything because we’ve seen the Virgins play the same songs a billion times over the past few years, and they’re so low key I wonder if they’re having fun anymore. Now HOCKEY on the other hand have us so effing pumped it’s ridic. We took in their set at Santos and our dear friends from the Music Slut saw them at Merc last night. They had a bit of a different reaction:
“Dear Hockey: Can you kindly return all of the following at your earliest convenience? MGMT’s wardrobe, The Strokes’ guitar riffs, Avey Tare’s stage presence & Pete Doherty’s vocal stylings. Thank you very much!”
Hahahahah *BURN!* Here’s the part where I say um, some might construe the above as complimentary. If it’s derivative it’s only the good parts, minus the douche factor that’s had us rolling our eyes for years over the aforementioned phenomena. They’re like the best part of the Strokes (the riffs), last time I checked Avey Tare was selling out Bowery and people loved every sec, Pete Doherty has a dreamboat voice (albeit in the body of a crackhead) and of COURSE there are headbands. Male headbands are what trucker caps were to 2005. There will be many more in our future, and I haven’t heard kids give Apes & Androids, Starfucker and Peachcake grief over it. Plus they forgot to mention the tendency to break into Debbie Harry Rapture-style rap. AMAZING. Whatev, if it’s not for you that’ll just give people more room to dance at their gigs. Anyway, back to the ULTIMATE in EXCITEMENT:
Just come south of Houston St and join us tonight for the PIANOS gig to decide for yourself. We’re banking that these boys are gonna be one of the break-out acts of SXSW 2009. The FADER Fort is scrambling to book them in 3…2…1… NOW.
