myspace find: dead kids

The Dead Kids myspace kinda freaks me out. But then, their LCD Soundsytem meets The Rapture sound draws me in…

myspace find: hot challenge
Posted on 01.24.08 by hardrockchick @ 11:04 pm

Local up-and-comers Hot Challenge have a sound that spans from pop rock to to a darker electro rock, echoing the band’s diverse influences. They’ll be headlining a Fuzz.com showcase on Feb. 2nd and Great American Music Hall.

myspace find: xu xu fang

I have no idea if I’m pronouncing it correctly, but who cares. It’s the drummer from The Warlocks. Xu Xu Fang is dreamy psych rock from LA.

This band, Ceremony, apparently uses the same effects designer as A Place to Bury Strangers. Ah, the ways I find new music…

Discovered by Jack White, toured with Beck…and it shows in their sound. Whirlwind Heat is a good one.

myspace find: astra moveo

This is from a tip from a friend of a friend who is also a big fan of The Faint. Since The Faint is taking so long with their new album…we’re looking for filler. Astra Moveo, from Denver, satisfies.

myspace find: a place to bury strangers
Posted on 12.02.07 by hardrockchick @ 6:55 pm

A Place to Bury Strangers, from Brooklyn, besides having such an intriguing name, has a killer sound. It’s psychedelic rock in its most impure form- laden with electronic beats and Goth-y vocals. But it still has that screaming guitar through the fog of the distortion pedal. Me likey.

U.S.S.A.
Posted on 11.27.07 by hardrockchick @ 9:05 pm

So….these guys aren’t really new, but the band itself is- U.S.S.A.

About a year ago, bassist/programmer/producer Paul Barker ( ex Ministry/Revolting Cocks) and guitarist/composer Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard/Tomahawk) decided to start a new band. They got together and wrote some material, liked what they heard, and then recruited an unknown but extremely talented young vocalist/multi instrumentalist named Gary Call. They wrote some more material, liked that too, and then recruited drum wizard Johnny Rabb (clinician, author, inventor) to finish the lineup. They began rehearsing and recording in the fall of ’06 and have now finished their first album. Paul, Duane and Johnny, you should know all about by now; Gary, you want to know (though you don’t know it yet).

Pretty exciting stuff, so check them out, and if you’re local, go see them open for Chemlab tomorrow night @ Bottom of the Hill.

myspace find: the frail
Posted on 11.14.07 by hardrockchick @ 12:06 am

Hot up and coming local act The Frail have gotten my attention lately. It’s… space out electro rock? Hard to categorize. They’re around town a lot lately…so stay tuned for a live and in the flesh.
