Nothing for a Thursday night like a little glamour and a three-way… especially when it’s courtesy of Philthy’s favorite trio of electro vixens, Patty Crash and The Sisterwives. This Thursday, Feb. 23rd, Patty and her girls will be at The Barbary for Polyglamourous. However, if you...

As far as electro noise pop princesses go, Philthy has Patty Crash and NYC has Ducky (Morgan Neiman). Ducky’s been in the music game since she was 13. By 16 she was spinning in San Francisco clubs and by 17 she was dropping out of high school and relocating to attend the Clive Davis...

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Free Dominguez and Jimmy Gnecco are stripping down for the week… although not in a manner quite as “festive” as it sounds. The Kidneythieves’ vocalist (Dominguez) and Ours’ frontman (Gnecco) have hit the road for a brief string of intimate, solo...

Poliça are a hard band to pin down… to put it mildly. They are an off-shoot of GAYNGS… a side-project consisting of members of Bon Iver, The Rosebuds, Megafaun, Doomtree, Solid Gold, and Leisure Birds… among others. At the core of Poliça are GAYNGS vocalist Channy Leaneagh and...

I’m guessing most of my readers look forward to February 15th nearly as much as they look forward to December 26th… However, this year Philthy has an even better reason to celebrate that particular date… Sheffield duo Slow Club will be appearing at Johnny Brenda’s for what I’m...

No one actually likes Valentine’s Day. Well, I mean, no one who is even slightly interesting likes Valentine’s Day. And even less do they like holiday celebrations named for a play on words of said holiday. And, alas, I will find myself at Voyeur this Friday, Feb. 10th, for Making...

When we last left The Asteroids Galaxy Tour they were sounding along the lines of a space age cabaret, churning out postmodern lounge music. Since then, their aesthetic seems to have erupted in several dozen directions. While the horns found on Fruit (their 2009 debut LP) tended to take a...

Prinzhorn Dance School are often compared to Post-Punk groups… but I find them far more Postmodern than that. It’s minimalistic, dark even in its most optimistic moments, and existentially cold. It’s the kind of thing that soundtracks your imagination when you’re walking through...

Courtney Taylor-Taylor recently Tweeted “Wow I’ve bann swamped. Didn’t think I’d do a lot of interviews for a band that ended in ’78.” The Dandy Warhols frontman recently “resurrected” the work of One Model Nation, a band that existed between the years 1969...
