Guinevere van Seenus stars in Aanteni, a high-fashion techno-thriller from CFDA award-winning design sisters Rodarte, shot by their friend and frequent collaborator, the photographer and video artist Todd Cole. Set in the deserted grounds of Paypal founder Elon Musk’s Space X jet lab in Hawthorne, California, the film was inspired by the pioneering spirit of the space race, which, according to Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy, “has defined generations of artists in their desire to use new…
The Glen Rock, New Jersey five piece of Titus Andronicus have made a name for themselves across the years for delivering indie rock with an actual attitude. The band’s debut record, titled “The Airing of Grievances”, was released in 2008 and was immediately met with highly positive reviews. It was loud, heavily distorted in sound, very intelligently written and most of all fun as hell! In only a few weeks Titus Andronicus are set to…
The jovial Canadian eight piece band are set to release their fifth full length studio album “Together” in early May, and as a very sweet appetizer I’d like to invite all of you to sample their latest song “Your Hands (Together)”. It’s a typical Pornographers track – catchy hooks, pop friendly chorus and power chords. Not their best, by a long shot, but it’s still a very promoscing sign of things to come.[via Hero Hill]…
Tons of fireworks, dead unicorns, super heroes, Canadian Mounties etc. – you’re likely to find any of those at a Flaming Lips concert, where every town that guests it automatically becomes the international capitol of mind fuck for a whole night. This summer, Wayne Coyne will be leaving his extravagant lair to join the rest of the Flaming gang for a set of gigs around North America and Europe. Trust me, if you haven’t seen…
Models and music don’t usually make a good mix, but Jack White sure knows how to pick ’em, considering his wife, Karen Olsen, has some great set of legs pipes. Don’t believe me? Check out her first music video for the title track off her 12 songs debut album “The Ghost Who Walks”. Simple, yet strangely spooky, the video features Karen gently strumming her acoustic guitar unfolding a gentle ballad. The Ghost Who Walks was…
Thom Yorke’s solo project was seen with great enthusiasm by critics and fans alike when the all-star supergroup, composed of Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, R.E.M. drummer Joey Waronker, talented Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco, and the one and only Flea, played two LA gigs at the end of last year. The band played the entirety of Thom Yorke’s solo debut album, The Eraser, as well as some new songs and Radiohead B-side “Paperbag Writer”. Today, it…
You know Phoebe from way back when she started performing and touring with Nouvelle Vague. No long introduction is needed for this artist, as I’m sure you all know about her totally original and impressive performances of Human Fly, Bela Lugosi’s Dead, Escape Myself etc., about her absolutely brilliant performance with Melanie Pain of Too Drunk To Fuck, where they dance and scream (in the most pleasant way) and give out Whisky to the audience…

Since I’ve received the press for their sophomore album “Life”, I became simply punch drunk in love with Uniform Motion’s eerie atmosphere. My talented co-editor Al Byrne put the band’s sound in words better than I ever could have a while back, when Uniform Motion was first featured on our website. “Anytime I receive a press release that labels a band “an extremely exciting arts collective [and] a perpetual multimedia art installation“, a tiny emergency…
