The Bellury shuffle in all its animated gif glory. Still nothing can replace the live experience. 

Funny, cause it’s true. Thanks to James Gannon for this.

Scenes from Pacific Theater rehearsal. The band are currently preparing for a string of New York shows in April where they’ll be debuting material from their recently finished record, Warm Light. First up, Mercury Lounge, Sunday, April 3rd. Photos shot by DR with a G10.

Music for your Monday: As LCD Soundsystem heads into retirement — its last show takes place Saturday night at New York’s Madison Square Garden — The Current pays homage to a band that helped define the sound of new music. With artists name-checked directly in “Losing My Edge,” they created a music stream that pays tribute to where LCD Soundsystem came from and where the band was first inspired.

Pacific Theater returns to the stage Sunday, April 3rd at Mercury Lounge in the lower east side! (Supporting Medals for their record release show!)

We’re baaaaack!

Duchess Leo:

Andy & Zeus asked if we would remix their tune, MCMLXXXI Choir. We said “Duh, of course we would” because it’s beautiful. Then we jacked it up and found a few moments you can tap your foot to. We’re playing a show together at Bruar Falls in April where we’ll be shagging for the spring time and honoring the good old days.  Click below to discover Andy & Zeus!

Meet ARRANGE. Arrange is artist and blogger, Malcom Lacey and “Turnpike” is the first track we’re hearing of his forthcoming record, Plantation. “Turnpike” combines plaintive pianos, wrenching vocals, samples and vibe in fine measure. Thumbs up. Also recommended is the Quiet State EP which will have you in a thousand yard stare for twenty minutes. Plantation out May 17. 

Former Little Horn bassist/ethereal sound generator Neal Williams surprised Keith with some artwork recently.  In Keith’s words: “Its so beautiful I had to share it.  I’m speechless.” 

Come on folks, its late on a weeknight but you know you want to. 

Little Horn and Daniel Clay will be making a ruckus tonight at the Eastside Lounge in Atlanta! And WHR Brooklyn wishes they could be there! 

The first Lille show in months! They’re gonna have a new set, new arrangements and birthday cake!

Duchess Leo are playing Party Xpo in Brooklyn on Friday, March 4th with sonic adventurers and spiritual brothers, Andy & Zeus. This is the first show for the band in over six months, and also the first since the release of their record. Party times, excellent. 

We proudly present Duchess Leo’s first performance video, Bloom. Bloom is the second track on Golden Gray and appears here in live and extended form. The video was directed by the head dude hisself, Daniel Bellury. Golden Gray is out now on Whale Heart Records. Read an interview with the band on the Village Voice blog about the making of the song.

Bloom  is featured on Just Like Honey’s podcast this weekend along with Cut Copy and Bright Eyes. I had the pleasure of talking with Bertie a little bit about when he met Jeff Buckley. We hope to make it to London soon to meet him and play a show. Check out the podcast HERE!

Little Horn’s new record is currently being mixed by the steady hands of Mr. Daniel Whitt at Metaltern in Athens, Alabama. It’s got a new band, a host of new instruments and more vibe than you can shake a stick at. We’re not talking just yet, but look out for it sometime this spring or summer. :)

Apparently it’s illegal now to drive to work in a forklift with a case of beer.
