Here's a great documentary by David Kleijwegt on some musicians that I really dig, CocoRosie and Devendra Banhart. In the second video below, you'll notice Antony touch on the current music revolution of this decade that I constantly espouse.
The CocoRosie show I was very excited about at the Masquerade this Thursday has been cancelled because the band has been arrested. Here's the Myspace bulletin they posted:
"dear loves we are so sorry to announce that we cannot play the rest of the us tour dates the band got arrested, thats all i can say we love you all we are playing a free show in New York on may 19th please come if you can we are crying say a prayer for our band love Sierra and Bianca later..."
CocoRosie : The Adventures Of Ghosthorse And Stilborn
This album has been pretty much trashed by most of the blogosphere (Pitchfork gave it a 2.3) but I really love it. I don't have a lot of familiarity with their previous albums (although that will soon change) but i really believe that Ghosthorse And Stillborn holds up to almost any record to come out this year. CocoRosie is two sisters doing indie-folk with a little opera and hip-hop thrown in. They both do vocals, and one plays alot of instruments and the other plays experimental percussion instruments like children's learning devices and gold chains. Check it out:
I have been listening to many mediocre albums lately and Guns And Drums has been an exception. This Duluth, Minnesota trio has something really special here and I wish I would have gotten into this band earlier. Stylistically they feel like a stripped down indie rock outfit with very anthemetic songs, or "Slowcore" as they are known, and i will be delving deep into this band's catalog after hearing this great album. Give it a listen:
Aw yeah, it's Friday again, Deerhunter or Kid Koala tonight! What to choose? Ted Leo and the Pharmacists will be at the Variety Playhouse Saturday night. I still don't know whether i'm going to that or the DJ Klever/Snowden extravanganza. Here's some videos to help me decide:
