Der LoFi-R'n'B-Künstler Tom Krell alias How To Dress Well hat den Song "Clowne Towne" von Xiu Xiu gecovert. Der Titel ist im Original auf der 2004er Platte "Fabulous Muscles" der experimentellen Art-Pop-Band aus San José zu finden. Die neue Interpretation des aus Brooklyn stammenden Musikers besticht allein mit Krells Stimme, welche mit Effektgeräten in die Länge gezogen oder mit Echo unterlegt wird, sodass eine nahezu sakrale Stimmung entsteht. Überzeugt euch im Folgenden selbst von der Wirkung: How To Dress Well - "Clowne Towne" (Xiu Xiu Cover) Das Cover von How To Dress Well ist im Zuge einer Compilation erschienen ...

On April 27, Pat Grossi will take his choral-based electro-pop project Active Child on the road for a North American tour, which will kick off at The Glass House in Pomona, CA. See official tour dates here, and check out the music video for his latest single "Hanging On."

Everyone’s favorite choir boy Active Child a.k.a. Pat Grossi has announced his last leg of dates before he hits the studio to record the follow-up (already?!) to his spaced-out-indie-R&B; debut You Are All I See . Equally as exciting is that he’ll be taking Balam Acab on the road with him for the spring dates, who’s promoting his own Wander/Wonder ( TMT Review ) album from last year. Between the two of them you can expect a lot of magical harp playing, knob twisting, and angelic, head-soothing vocals. Hear Active Child’s “Johnny Belinda” remixed by White ...

Australia’s Laneway Festival proves a remedy to those sick of the crowded, aggressive vibe which has crept into a lot of the countries’ major festivals. Created in 2004 and held in the slender back streets of Melbourne’s CBD, Laneway has spawned into a seven-city journey, stretching as far as Singapore. This year’s line-up was nothing short of breathtaking, with artists the likes of Feist, Active Child, M83 and SBTRKT (full line-up here ) performing. The Sydney edition is held at the beautiful College of Fine Arts. Part of the attraction to the festival is the surroundings, all old ...

Four days of beer-chugging, eating overpriced food, and constantly brainstorming creative ways to avoid the long porta-potty lines is nearly upon us. Bask in the wonderfulness that is the Sasquatch! Festival! This year headliners Jack White, Beck, and Bon Iver will bring their latest batch of stuff to the Memorial Day weekend festival at The Gorge in George, Washington. White will, no doubt, be promoting his first solo output, Blunderbuss , and Bon Iver will continue to gain massive amounts of fans, but as for Beck… that’s anyone’s guess. Could he possibly be ready to release new material? His ...

Today's Mix/Cover/Live includes Capital Cities, Daughter and Active Child.

Yesterday the sun came out in Sydney, without a cloud in sight, and the revellers came out in force, selling out the 2012 Laneway Festival in the mid afternoon. Bands M83 (pictured above), Feist , The Drums , Cults and Active Child received among the largest crowds (and singalongs thanks to their triple j hits) of the day, while the sun ensured a fair few festival goers would leave with a good red glow. read more

KATE HENNESSY reports on the Sydney leg of the St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, which took place at Sydney College of the Arts in Rozelle on Sunday (February 5). Photos by ELIZE STRYDOM . Never trust anyone over 30 (to review a music festival). Known for our pernickety gripes, misanthropic snipes and general nitpickery often we can’t see the wood (the music) for the trees (the irritations). The task is handled better by breezy early-20-somethings to whom those perennial festival agitations (lack of dunnies, shade, cheap booze and nice food; glut of dickheads, schedule clashes, short sets and clusterfucks) make ...

DOUG WALLEN and NICK ARGYRIOU review 64.7 percent of the entire bill of Melbourne’s St Jerome’s Laneway Festival at Footscray Community Arts Centre on Saturday. (Fans of Girls, The Panics, The Horrors and SBTRKT send your grievances to PO Box 475, Prahran, VIC 3181, or just wait for the Sydney review.) Photos by MICHAEL BAINBRIDGE . The ominous clouds that “greeted” punters at last year’s St Jerome’s Laneway Festival were replaced by near-perfect skies and a mercury that hovered above 30 degrees all day. For the third year running, the festival returned to the Footscray Community ...
