So Friday saw the first ever DJ set by Gee Wizz at Fashion Keyboard, we played from 2-3 and considering how much we had drunk before hand, played pretty well!
1/2ALIVE (myspace) is a collective from vancouver who throw massive parties and make superduper mashes. tyler fedchuk, tony x, my!gay!husband! and co know how to throw a party and know good music, so obviously we have a lot in common with them. even better, they love australian music (although who doesn't these days) and want to get down here and party (it's true they told me on myspace heeeh).
One of TF's newer remixes is a chilled disco reup of fellow canadians Tegan & Sara (who are awesome and you should all know from Walking with a Ghost fame). Other sweet tracks from Fedchuk's repetoire include Purple Ribbon All Star's Kryptonite mixed with Nicky Van She & Dangerous Dan's version of Around the World (classic) and of course their contribution to the world of Club Action remixes. if you would like links to more of their sheeet drop us a liiiiiiiine here or on ourspace.
Tegan & Sara - Back In Your Head (TF's 1/2alive disco remix)
Tegan & Sara - Walking With a Ghost
Yo Majesty Feat. Wolf & Cub with Simian Mobile Disco - Club Action (TF's halfALIVE rave breakdown)
Purple Ribbon All Stars VS Nicky Van She & Dangerous Dan - Kryptonite (TF's halfALIVE mix)
If you haven't heard Errors you should. Signed to Mogwai's label, these Glaswegian upstarts are what Ratatat would sound like if they were still cool (yeah i went there). Their sound is difficult to pinpoint and some of the efforts to do so are hilarious, such as "blend sky-scraping synths with guitar riffs born of both rock and punk with post prefix firmly attached"... what the fuck? Just listen to their music it is good.
ERRORS - Salut France
ERRORS - Hans Herman
Ladies and Gentlemen, it's the night you have all been waiting for!

see you there
so i got the new Architecture in Helsinki album 'places like these' (and i know its been around for ages ) and flash posted a while ago how scala and kolcny brothers were good to listen to whilst doin architecture... and i thought man so would AIH... but thats the ooooold AIH, no longer have they gone with the whole listen to us while your chillin in a hammock drinkin or drivin really slow around the beach! Pretty much all of their new songs are more like do the whirlwind but with the dude singing instead of the chick.. she pretty does sweet fuck all now except puts in a few yeows and wooos every now and then...
Don't get me wrong.. it's still pretty damn cool and would probably be heaps better live (AIH are prob one of the best bands I've seen live and pretty much inspired GWAP) but I cant help likening the new sound to what the muppets would sound like if they grew up and got on the illicit substances... it also doesn't help that the heart it races film clip even has freakin puppets in it singing and dancing
this is the 7th song (of only 10 the slackers), called Debbie.. picture animal (pictured above) drumming...
AIH - Debbie
