auch lustig, was matt mir da schreibt. über die anstehenden deutschland shows seiner band the blank tapes will er zunächst nicht sprechen oder gar vorab auf sie aufmerksam machen, bevor er nicht durch den zoll ist. da scheint einer schlechte erfahrungen gemacht zu haben. kein wunder, der aus la/sf stammende multiinstrumentalist und singer/songwriter m. adams ist schon lange genug dabei. wir fanden gar einen vier jahre alten post im klienicum. seit dem ist eine menge passiert, vor allem ergänzungen in sachen discografie. erwähnenswert dabei das großartige "home away from home" aus dem jahr 2010. demnächst wird ein neuer ...

Ironically, if Beach House owned a beach house, they probably wouldn’t get to use it too much this summer. They’re going out on tour in like a day in support of Bloom , their follow-up to 2010’s Teen Dream ( TMT Review ), which is due out May 15 on Sub Pop (and May 14 in Europe on Bella Union, and May 15 in Mexico on Arts & Crafts, and May 18 in Australia on Mistletone; check out a track from it below); and they’re really only coming home for a little bit here and there before jetting off again on another tough leg of grueling nonchalance. So ...

Même s’ils ont un son bien anglais, c’est de Nantes que le groupe vient. Von Pariahs , c'est six jeunes garçons qui mêlent habilement de nombreuses influences afin de créer leur propre musique. Du punk classique des années 80 au shoegaze des Sonic Youth en passant par le rock garage modern (The Strokes, The Hives…) ils se fraient lentement mais surement un chemin.  Leur dernier titre est assez excitant. Someone New lorgne vers la cold wave et sonne un peu comme She Wants Revenge.  ф  Even if they have a strong English sound, they come From France. Von ...

Maelstrom hails from Nantes and should be considered one of the most interesting names in the French music scene at the moment, today he follows up last years Sound Pellegrino release “USSR” with new EP “Generation” (released on Zone). Discobelle got the exclusive premiere of this mixtape from Maelstrom to celebrate the release. A mixtape [...]

I don't know if it's just me but lately I haven't been able to stop listening to Yacht's version of Brigitte Fontaine's "Le Goudron." Don't get me wrong although Brigitte's version is very intense, what I like about Yacht's version is that they infused their own sound, which is electronic and sprinkle it over the song and created their own song. The reason for the release of this track was to announce their European tour which kick starts tomorrow. Yacht - Le Goudron Brigitte Fontaine - Le Gourdon SHANGRI-LA TOUR 2012: PT.2 EUROPE ...

Ladies and germs, I am in a punk band. Or, almost in a punk band. Some of the members still need to learn their instruments, but I’m hoping that once we finally bang out a few songs, we manage to sound at least a little bit like Thee Oh Sees. Last year, John Dwyer and company gave us loads of wild and crazy rock ‘n’ roll, and ever since then, we’ve been playing it loudly and freaking out our neighbors. Even though Thee Oh Sees haven’t announced any follow-ups to Castlemania ( TMT Review ) and Carrion Crawler/The ...

Portland electronica outfit Yacht have recently remade French avant-garde singer Brigitte Fontaine’s off-hand 1969 acoustic song ‘Le Goudron.’ The dancehall-ish remake, which you can stream or download below, also features a video with Claire Evans playing the part of Fontaine, in a strobe-lit discotheque. Watch the video and check out the band's US and European tours.

‘Spiteful Intervention,’ the latest video from Of Montreal’s February release Paralytic Stalks , features frontman Kevin Barnes melting at the seems into a chasm of ethereal colors and shapes in the Jesse Elwes-directed video.

Only a few months after releasing his debut self-titled album, NZCA/LINES has already headed back into the studio to completely remaster and rejiggle the year's greatest electro-pop record so far, rereleasing it on beautiful white vinyl with recommissioned artwork exclusively for Record Store Day. If that's not enough to whet your appetite for frantic, erratic beats, then why not go dance to them live? The producer has just been announced as the main support for Django Django's UK tour in May, appearing at 6 dates across the country with the band. He's also got a ...

Fan-filmed video footage of the Marseille, France-based female-fronted metalcore band ETHS performing on March 16 at Ferrailleur in Nantes, France can be seen below.

Following a sell-out headline show at Corsica Studios, mysterious filmmakers-cum-musicians Breton have announced new live dates as well as a single. AA side 'Jostle' - taken from the band's acclaimed debut record Other People's Problems - will be available to grab with new track 'Foam' come 4th June. Known for their live shows which mix self-shot films mixed in real-time with their music, Breton's tour of Europe expands into the USA next week and goes well into May. Plus, those seeing electro-pop kings Hot Chip in Paris in July will be able to catch the band supporting at the ...
