The name Ill Fits seems appropriate for a band with such disparate parts—Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, Will Berman (of MGMT), Don Devore (of Amazing Baby) and Johnny Hunt (of Foreign Islands)—until you actually hear the five-piece play. The group first came together for some late-night jam sessions, mainly doing covers, but with new material like [...]

What do you get when you mix Amazing Baby, MGMT, Foreign Islands, and Miles Anthony Benjamin Robinson? No, this isn't the beginning of a joke by some Brooklyn-centric comedian. It's more of a recipe for a new band featuring some of the people responsible for those projects. Enter Ill Fits. After seeing them a handful of times this summer, I'm smitten. What's first striking about the band is how comfortable they are on stage together. Of course, this is no surprise when you ...

As mentioned in last week's This Week in Indie, Ill Fits, who played Cameo on Saturday (7/30), have members of MGMT and Amazing Baby. Since that show, more details on the band have emerged. The Village Voice writes of...

"Fools Wish" from the single Fools Wish 2011 iTunes When you think of finely tuned guitar-pop, Stockport, UK is not what necessarily comes to mind as a breeding ground for the next big thing. Indie rockers The Kill Van Kulls — now Manchester-based — have only been together for six months and have already garnered attention from the likes of XFM and BBC. While finding inspiration in a disused mill and working through the night to sharpen their upbeat four to the floor, kick heavy pop songs, The Kill Van Kulls released their first single "Fools Wish" via the band's own ...

1. You Don't Know How It Feels - Tom Petty - I have written two short stories and one novel about chronic illness. What interests me is not being in a coma, but being so ill that you are stranded in time. I've had to function with a bad cold for a coupla days, and I feel like both being alone and being with people. I wanna drop out but I can't bring myself to do it. This is one of my sickness songs, not "You don't know how it feels to be me", but "I'm too ...

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News The Rock and Roll Circus descended upon Manhattan on Monday and Tuesday, but instead of setting up in a deserted lot, it was nestled in the courtyard next to Lincoln Center. The tented arena was a labyrinth of face-painting booths, snack stations and a giant ring for music acts that included Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and Amazing Baby . Nightlife personality Acid Betty, dressed in a Marie Antoinette-meets- David-Bowie get-up, served as the master of ceremonies for the evening, and frequently encouraged the crowd to "scream like banshees." Despite the pleas to let loose ...
