Those ad campaigns keep coming - but have LCD Soundsystem been ripped off by TGI Fridays? LCD Soundsystem are no more. The seminal dance-punk group called it a day last year, bidding farewell to their career with an emotional final stand at Madison Square Garden. Now the band's profile has been given an unexpected boost - by TGI Fridays. The restaurant chain have launched their latest North American ad campaign, which contains a song which is not too dis-similar to James Murphy's output. Compare and contrast below (via Pitchfork ). TGI Friday - - - Daft Punk Is Playing At My House - - - The issue ...

Are you a big fan of LCD Soundsystem? Yep? Well you too will be raising your eyebrows at the new tv advert and more specifically song choice for American restaurant chain TGI Fridays. The ‘May 2 for $10′ commercial features a song with an uncanny resemblance to LCD Soundsystems ”Daft Punk Is...

Hey, Beach House! You’ve got some company. What would Roger Sterling do? Pitchfork : Because nothing says potato skins and buffalo wings like mid-2000s dance-punk: LCD Soundsystem seem to have been ripped off in a commercial advertisement for T.G.I. Friday’s, the American chain restaurant. The clip, below, features a song that sounds suspiciously similar to the music from “Daft Punk Is Playing at My House”, the opening track from LCD ‘s 2005 self-titled debut. Read and comment. From thedailyswarm.com.

The latest installment of “Does This Rip Off That?” revolves around a TGI Friday’s commercial with a soundtrack strikingly similar to LCD Soundsystem’s “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House.” Not sure known foodie James Murphy approves of this or of the chain’s fare, but we can certainly speculate; I sure as hell didn’t see [...]

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Coeur de Pirate, Yelle, LCD Soundsystem Song: Yacht - Le Goudron (Long Version) [download here ] What's so good? Who doesn’t love the French? French fries, French toast, French music – pretty much all good things. Portland-based Yacht apparently agrees, recently covering French singer Brigitte Fontaine’s 1969 track “Le Goudron.” Bringing a funky, deep synth melody to the aloof original, Yacht takes this track from the lounge to an intense party. Distinctly LCD in length and build, the long version is epic in proportion, building segment by segment. Just when you think things ...

Tomas Barfod , better known as the drummer of Copenhagen's WhoMadeWho , is enamored with beats and solid pop hooks in equal measure. While WhoMadeWho is being sucked into an LCD Soundsystem–shaped vacuum, the market for Barfod's own productions is less clear. He aspires to the sensation of timelessness that defines pop while availing himself of production cues drawn from house and the overtly exploratory hip-hop associated with LA's Brainfeeder as well as new home Friends of Friends. Barfod's also a recent LA transplant, and calls on labelmates and locals like Shlohmo and Salva provide backup—and ...

According to legend, Marcus Lambkin (a.k.a. Shit Robot ) hooked up with the DFA crew at the very beginning, well before the imprint started throwing lavish dance parties on hotel rooftops and handily sold out arenas. The Irish-born DJ was there as the label was still just a few guys trying to make sense of NYC's rich electro, funk, disco, and house traditions with their post-punk pedigrees. And although it arrived approximately a decade after the label's genesis, in some ways Shit Robot's 2010 LP, From the Cradle to the Rave , harkened back to the diverse ...

Danish dance-punkers Whomadewho have shared the stage with an A-list of electro-rockers, including LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk, and Justice to name a few. But then again, when it comes to musical quality, they have long turned A-list themselves. Founded in 2003 by Tomas Høffding, Jeppe Kjellberg and Tomas Barfod, the trio’s four full-length studio albums draw from such disparate influences as electronica, post-punk and 60s psychedelia. Their latest album, Brighter, was released in February via Kompakt and refines the group’s eclectic sound even further, melding elements of indie rock, disco, and punk. The band joins us to talk ...
