[JUICEBOXXX]
Retard Disco-style geek-rap phenomenon JUICEBOXXX brings his spazztastic, totally rad, straight-outta-Milwaukee steez to Vassar this Friday, and nobody could be more psyched to be part of the show than The Rats Of NiMH. If anyone needed more incentive to get out the crib this evening, the Juicy one is bringing DRE SKULL, his partner-in-crime on a legitimately bonkers new single, “Sweat,” that comes out this month and bosts a flipside remix from Spank Rock’s XXXChange. The missing link between hipstery-Baltimore club rap and the dorkus message board rappers who love to love it? “Sweat” just might be that jam. The boys get wet tomorrow at 148.” - mangled from [http://ThePhoenix.com]
[LE RUG]
“A pop music exorcism. Ray Weiss (also from Hundred Dollar Elephant [http://myspace.com/hundreddollarelephant] and The Medics [http://TheMedics.com]) channels post-punk fire from somewhere mysterious inside of himself. He must be hollow, because it couldn’t possible fit anywhere else. Double-drum dance solos, electric keyboard freakouts, tearing apart his guitar until he looks like he’s going to vomit… Le Rug starts off every set by doing a nose dive off the roof’s edge, and just keeps gaining speed until the whole room goes splat.” - [http://SleepWhenDeadNYC.com]
[JAGUAR CLUB]
“If you’re looking for those shiny ’70s guitars, held up by a very round and present bass sound, chorus-filled vocals that so much remember Television, Joy Division or the more recent Interpol, drums that hold your attention tight, then you should be checking out The Jaguar Club. The band’s two major influences (british pop and dance music) vie for attention within songs, with compulsively wire-taut bass and drum riffs that’ll keep you bouncing the whole way through.” mangled from [http://amiestreet.com/thejaguarclub]
[ACTION PAINTERS]
“Somewhere between the mod frenzy of Live at Leeds-era The Who, the joyful shimmy of early-Talking Heads, and the power and grace of non-sucky-era U2, Action Painters slay dragons with their soaring melodies, slinky grooves, and undeniable soul. They are from New York City.” - [http://myspace.com/theactionpainters]
[THE SHIRKERS]
“Four kinda-in-college, sort-of-working, maybe-making-music, New York-born Brooklynites tear shit up and don’t give a damn what you think. In fact, they’re probably not listening. In fact, they don’t even know how to use the internet.” - [http://SleepWhenDeadNYC.com]
[…SHIP]
“impossibly beautiful vignettes. Lifes dark, mottled underbelly. Suspension. Fragility. Hushed tones. Loudly whispered. Spectral vocals wrapped in a duvet of acoustic guitar with only the piano lamp left on in the corner of the room for comfort. The fidelity emphasis errs towards the lo end, not surprisingly, but this only seems to enhance the art quotient of this beguiling artefact. For people who love songs about houses & cities & rivers & beaches” - Trakmarx
