"The Brooklyn-based group TV on the Radio mix post-punk, electronic, and other atmospheric elements in such a creative way that it only makes sense that their core duo, vocalist Tunde Adebimpe and multi-instrumentalist/producer David Andrew Sitek, are both visual artists as well as musicians. Adebimpe is a graduate of NYU's film school and specializes in stop-motion animation, which his Brothers Quay-like video for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs single "Pin" amply demonstrates. He is also a painter, as is Sitek, who also produced the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Machine EP and their full-length Fever to Tell." goo.gl "Dual guitars and harmonic voices orbit a warm melody, swimming through atmospheric echoes. Brooklyn group TV On The Radio bring their otherworldly urban soul sound to the KEXP studios for a live set of experimental, electronic and alternative rock." Listen in here: kexp.org

"During the latter part of the 2000s, Manchester-based DJ/producer Andy Stott evolved from making high-quality dub techno to releasing a singular and more adventurous strain with an approach that favored leaden tempos and unsettling, sample-based textures. Beginning in 2005, Stott recorded exclusively for his hometown’s Modern Love label, where he quickly became a key member of the roster alongside fellow travelers Claro Intelecto and Demdike Stare." goo.gl Enjoy an archived recording of their entrancing live in-studio session from 2012: kexp.org

"A rubber band is the perfect picture to fit Swedish electronic outfit Little Dragon. Up to this point, the band has been carving a unique sound that occupies a haunting modern space somewhere between historical influences like Massive Attack and Bjork. After singer Yukumi Nagano made an appearance on the 2010 Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach, 2011’s Ritual Union saw Little Dragon gain some well deserved critical and commercial awareness, with well loved singles like 'Shuffle a Dream' and 'Nightlight' that bounced between dance music and downtempo with grace and ease."

Here at the station, we have a bit of a soft spot for Junius, and understandably so. Aside from a gentle and forthcoming manner, he also possesses the most self-deprecating and off-hand sense of humour. From our review of his performance at Iceland Airwaves last week: "This lanky ginger haired songster is a bit of an enigma, with no album and scant online presence. Unnar Gísli Sigurmundsson, his given name, began performing music a bit later in life. He was apparently kicked out of music school as a youth and thought he would never be a professional musician. But he picked up the guitar again later in his 20s and found a nascent font of sonic creativity. Listeners who joined us at the Reykjavik Calling show at Neumos in October will be surprised to discover the full band sound of Júníus Meyvant. Solo, he is a sparse acoustic folk act. But with his ten piece band he has a velvety soul groove." blog.kexp.org

Former frontman and lead singer for Wire. "Newman was born in Salisbury, England, in 1954 and attended Watford School of Art, where he studied under Peter Schmidt. At Watford, he formed Wire with Bruce Gilbert in 1976 and the band quickly emerged as one of British punk's more innovative, intelligent acts. Having evolved at a breathtaking pace over three albums that were among the period's most influential records (Pink Flag, Chairs Missing, and 154), the group went on hiatus in early 1980." www.allmusic.com/artist/colin-newman-mn0000113424/biography Click here for an exclusive interview with Newman for DRILL Music Festival: http://blog.kexp.org/2013/11/20/kexp-suggests-drill-seattle-w-wire-interview-with-colin-newman/

Always making for quietly amusing reading, here is their eponymous album up for Levi Fuller's Review Revue: blog.kexp.org

"Few bands generate as much excitement among KEXP listeners as alt-J. We followed their stratospheric rise from the beginning and even helped stoke the fire of the early buzz by which they burned brightly. The anticipation of their sophomore album was almost unbearable, though, particularly following the departure of bassist and multi-instrumentalist Gwil Sainsbury and the pressures of improving upon such a beloved and award-winning debut. But the wait paid off. In true alt-J fashion, the band defied expectations with a Miley Cyrus sample on their first single and a rocking Black Keys-ian riff on their second, and the album itself is refreshingly unpredictable with its more subdued, organic and atmospheric arrangements."

"After Mick Jones was fired from the Clash in 1983, he formed Big Audio Dynamite (B.A.D.) one year later to continue the more experimental funk elements of the Clash's Combat Rock. The group's original incarnation included Jones, video artist and Clash associate Don Letts (effects and vocals), Greg Roberts (drums), Dan Donovan (keyboards), and Leo 'E-Zee Kill' Williams (bass). Adding samplers, dance tracks, and found sounds to Jones' concise pop songwriting, B.A.D. debuted on record with the single 'The Bottom Line' in September 1985 and the album This Is Big Audio Dynamite later that year." www.allmusic.com/artist/big-audio-dynamite-mn0000763237/biography

"FF captures the weird, disorienting mixture of distortion, rage, and quiet melody that made records like MBV’s Isn’t Anything so magical. On other tracks, they tend towards the unsettled but melodic noise punk of mid to late 80s Sonic Youth. Yes, these are some pretty big claims, but FF seriously deserves it."

When noted by the interviewer he heard that the band left mistakes on Here and Nowhere Else on purpose, Dylan Baldi responded, "I mean, it’s not so much mistakes, but the sound of the band still learning the songs while we’re recording them. I like to do that. I like to make everything really last-minute so when we’re recording, we’re still figuring out the music because the sound of the band on record screwing things up is more interesting than the sound of like a perfect band. I don’t really get excited about things that are perfect whether it’s music or people. Anything that’s completely perfect bores me so I like to have that little bit of grit, that little bit of confusion in the songs themselves. It becomes a little more human in a way." goo.gl And here, download your own copy of "I'm Not a Part of Me" right here, right now: blog.kexp.org

San Francisco's Cronin, who holds an BFA in Music, notes, "A lot of peoples’ criticisms about people that go to music school or study music is that you lose that immediacy or joy of just playing guitar. I’ve found that it doesn’t apply, though. 95% of people I play music with have no idea how to write, or have no formal training to read music on paper. It really doesn’t matter. While I was in school, I was in a hardcore punk band, and I was doing that with the art school kids. Then we would go to class the next day and study theory. I was pleasantly surprised it didn’t affect me that way. It just opened up another line of thinking, and criticizing my own music, and finding effective ways to translate what I wanted to translate. I’m sure it affects some people in that way, like they can’t listen to Black Flag again after studying Bach, but it didn’t have that effect. It made everything better." goo.gl Here he is in our studio back last year: goo.gl

Today is Brendan Benson's birthday! Of the naissance of The Raconteurs, Jack White recalls, "Brendan said, 'I’ve got this song that needs some lyrics.' I took a listen to it and it was the music for 'Steady, As She Goes.' So I wrote the lyrics for it and we recorded it, though it was kind of more reggae-sounding at that point. We really loved it and just kept playing it, so we said, 'Maybe it’s time to do this band we keep talking about.' That song really was the trigger." www.uncut.co.uk/the-raconteurs/interview-jack-white-and-brendan-benson-feature Next, you can follow that fun with our review of their show with the Kills way back when: http://blog.kexp.org/2008/09/24/live-review-the-kills-the-raconteurs-at-wamu-theater-919/

Reverend Joseph Simmons, aka Rev. Run or DJ Run, turns 50 today! "I kind of lost the vigor for recording for a while. I didn't really care about it anymore. I put out a new pair of sneakers called the Phat Classics with my brother and they sold like a million pairs! At that point my mind was like, 'You know what, I've said enough, I've created enough!' I was ready to say 'Forget music!' I'd still do a little bit, like if you would call me for a remix, then I wouldn't mind, but I wasn't going to put my focus on making more Run DMC albums. But then it just seemed like the more I would run from Run DMC saying 'It's over, I'm fine," the more opportunities would be coming at me. Opportunities to record, opportunities to do big tours. Spiritually it didn't feel like it was over all of a sudden. It seems like we're getting more offers to do things like this big tour and putting our hands in the RockWalk. I was like, "What the hell is this about?'" gc.guitarcenter.com

"The Blind Shake have found a way to mix garage punk, surf music, and noise rock into one hard-hitting three-piece package, and do it all without the benefit of a bass player (though the bandmembers insist that they're not anti-bass so much as they're "pro mid-range"). The Blind Shake were formed by brothers Jim Blaha and Mike Blaha, who were born in St. Paul, Minnesota, spent much of their childhood in Lake City, Minnesota, and finally settled in the big city of Minneapolis. The Blaha brothers became serious rock & roll fans in their teens, and not long after the turn of the century, they decided to form a band. Influenced by the sound of a fellow Minneapolis band they liked, VAZ, Jim and Mike hoped to replicate their guitar tone by featuring both a baritone guitar (played by Mike) and a regular six-string (played by Jim) in their lineup, which also settled the issue of who would play bass, an instrument that interested neither sibling..."

Of MCR, Don Yates writes, "This young British band’s debut album is an impressive set of lo-fi garage-punk inflected with old-school British punk and ‘50s rock ‘n’ roll, combining primal guitar riffs, energetic rhythms, snarling vocals and catchy song hooks." From our Featured Song of the Day post, "Ming City Rockers hail from the fine English town of Immingham. Together with near neighbor Grimsby, 'Ming City' is part of the largest port by tonnage in the UK, and serves as one of many midpoints for rail and road transit between London, Edinburgh, and Rotterdam. In other words, its a spot on a map, and it’s not flashy. Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1 said that Ming City Rockers may be the best rock and roll band to ever come out of Immingham, but as the band wryly puts it, there wasn’t much competition to begin with."

Not a whole lot of biographical info on Throw That Beat in the Garbagecan, but here's a start: "German combo Throw That Beat In The Garbage Can embody the quintessence of naive pop. They debuted with three singles and the mini-album Tweng (September Gurls, 1988), that were collected on the album Large Marge Sent Us (September Gurls, 1989). Klaus Cornfield sings power-pop refrains such as Heaven Sent and When I'm Dead and confesses his passion for the cartoons (Batman Stinks e I Wish I Was Mickey Mouse), while the band apes surf (Acid Dj) sand country (Mummy Mummy)." www.scaruffi.com/vol6/throwtha.html

"George Young is the older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young, who formed the group AC/DC. The Easybeats formed around five European migrants. Dutch-born Harry Vanda and Dick Diamonde were living at the Villawodd Migrant Hostel when they met 15-year-old English-born Stevie Wright and Scottish-born George Young. Young was the younger brother of Alex (aka George Alexander), who found success in the UK with The Big Six and Grapefruit. The last member to join was English-born Snowy Fleet. Unlike most other local bands of the day, The Easybeats donned neat matching suits and quickly made an impact at Sydney's most popular discos like Beatle Village, Surf City and Havana Village. The wild hysteria experienced at Easybeats concerts shocked and outraged civic officials." goo.gl

"The first thing that stands out about Holy Esque is lead singer Pat Hynes’ Ellery James Roberts-meets-Scott Hutchinson vocals, and but the second, more important aspect of the Glasgow quartet’s sound is how his bandmates match his ramshackle-yet-emotive performances with an equally as ferocious brand of post-punk. Formed in 2011 by Hynes, keyboardist/guitarist Keir Reid, guitarist Hugo McGinley, and drummer Ralph McClure, the band wasted no time differentiating themselves from the folk-indebted bands that dominated the scene... Since then, the band has sporadically released singles and played gigs at CMJ, SXSW, and most notably, Glastonbury 2013, and earlier this year, the band ventured to Copenhagen to begin work on their full-length debut. 'Silences,' a presumed taste of the aforementioned EP, shimmers with a new wave rhythm, but Hynes’ ragged yell and piercing guitars add a spike to the song’s shine." blog.kexp.org

"Until recently, The Vaselines may just have been known as a blip in musical history. Their recording career spanned from 1987 to 1989, releasing two EPs, Son of a Gun and Dying for It, and one full-length album, Dum-Dum. The band found greater exposure a few years later, when Nirvana covered their tracks on Incesticide ('Son of a Gun,' 'Molly’s Lips') and on MTV Unplugged in New York ('Jesus Don’t Want Me for a Sunbeam'). Kurt Cobain even told The Seattle Times The Vaselines were his 'most favorite songwriters in the whole world.' Although the band broke up soon after the release of Dum Dum, they briefly reformed to open for Kurt & crew."

"The new wave revival/post-rock side project of Nick Chiericozzi and Mark Perro, both of whom are founding members of abrasive, N.Y.C.-based punk/noise rockers The Men, Brooklyn's Dream Police specialize in gritty yet hook-filled, Krautrock-inspired electro-pop that manages to retain the muscular, lo-fi aesthetic of the duo's flagship band. Falling somewhere between the laconic, punk-addled nihilism of Parquet Courts, the dirty, fuzzed-out melodicism of Wavves, and the homespun electro-goth pulse of early Sisters of Mercy, the band issued their debut long-player, Hypnotized, via the Sacred Bones label in November 2014." www.allmusic.com/artist/dream-police-mn0000167269/biography

"Hookworms have been stirring up a ruckus in Leeds since late 2011. They intentionally baffle press from getting any information on them. Their names in all press statements and their Facebook are limited to initials and their band description on Gringo has been left blank. Their style is decidedly all over the place (they called themselves 'freakbeat' when talking to Guardian a year or so ago), mixing American southern rock tendency with space rock for a weird and winding psychic journey. Their new record, Pearl Mystic is a grab bag of emotional ups and downs with a stark difference between each track. The resulting product is a fresh and exciting sound that sets them apart from their geographic predecessors." More, and download "Form and Function," right here: blog.kexp.org

DJ El Toro: "In September 1991, I’d been living in New York City for two years, working a day job on Broadway while I cut my teeth writing for third-tier music magazines. Yeah, they still published magazines about music back in the early ’90s. I’d been dispatched to the offices of Geffen Records to interview British industrial dance act Nitzer Ebb about their new album, Ebbhead. As we got settled in, the label publicist asked if I needed anything else. I mentioned that I was going on a long trip the next day and could sure use some new music to fend off boredom during the plane ride. Maybe he could slide me a promo copy of Guns N’ Roses? He left and returned a few minutes later, as Nitzer Ebb and I were settling into the interview, and handed me both Use Your Illusion records, plus a Nevermind CD. 'Trust me, you want this,' he insisted." The rest of El Toro's story here: blog.kexp.org

"This Seattle duo's debut full-length is a promising set of brooding, goth-tinged electro-pop with a dark, haunting sound featuring atmospheric synths, occasional guitars, hypnotic beats, and gloomy vocals."

"In the brief time she spent with Wild Flag, Mary Timony learned one of rock’s great truisms: The quickest path to the heart is the most direct." blog.kexp.org "I moved down to D.C. to record with [Fugazi drummer] Brendan Canty, one of my friends from when I was a kid. When I was growing up, Marion Barry, the mayor of D.C. at the time, put on these summer youth programs where you would get paid minimum wage to do activities, and one of the activities was 'play in a band in a church basement.' [laughs] A lot of people who ended up being in bands in D.C. were in that youth program, and I met Brendan Canty through that. So I came down here and started recording [2005 album Ex Hex] with Brendan and Devin Ocampo... I like that record a lot—it's probably my favorite solo record that I did. I moved back into the house I live in now, which is the house I lived in with my family until I was 5." goo.gl

"The point band of the early-'90s riot grrrl movement, Olympia, Washington's Bikini Kill exploded onto the male-dominated indie rock scene by fusing the visceral power of punk with the impassioned ideals of feminism. Calling for 'Revolution Girl Style Now,' the group's fiercely polemical and anthemic music helped give rise to a newly empowered generation of women in rock, presaging the dominance female artists would enjoy throughout the decade. Bikini Kill formed in the late '80s at Olympia's liberal Evergreen College, where students Kathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail, and Kathi Wilcox first teamed to publish a feminist fanzine, also dubbed Bikini Kill. Seeking to bring the publication's agenda to life, they decided to form a band, enlisting guitarist Billy Boredom (born William Karren) to round out the lineup." www.allmusic.com

"It's an addiction I can't stop, you know? [Music] just kind of fills my head and takes over. My main thing with music is I like sitting in my room and making up little songs. As long as that keeps me happy the rest is... I don't want to say icing on the cake, but all of us would be doing this stuff regardless of whether we were playing in front of people or not. Black Mountain have more fine details; there are five people and some of our tastes are similar and some are just completely opposite. With Pink Mountaintops it's usually trying — whether it's recording or for a show — to keep it loose and raw, and not go over things too much. Sometimes it's more of just a party vibe to see where it goes, like controlled chaos. This one is more about celebrating the beep — there are lots of beeps all over this record." exclaim.ca

"The Shivas smartly thread other sources through the familiar fabric of their sound, creating a unique pattern, with a bit of western jangle here, a wisp of woozy psychedelia there, plus other touches of doo-wop, twee pop, pop punk, surf rock, even psychobilly as on the opening of today’s featured song."

"You get people saying, 'You’re too old for this,' but they don’t realise that this is all I’ve done. No-one told Miles Davis or BB King to pack it in. John Lee Hooker played literally up to the day he died. Why should pop musicians be any different?" Still, "I never thought beyond tomorrow, to be honest with you. I didn’t imagine getting to 50, let alone still be playing music. When I was 18, I thought it’d all be over by the time I was 21. I saw the Stones’ movie, Shine A Light, on the plane on the way over, and Mick Jagger says pretty much the same thing. It’s the only way. At 18, 25 seemed like a lifetime away. Then before you know it, you’re 30. Then you’re 40. And all of a sudden, you’re 50. I’ve never thought beyond the next record." ~ Paul Weller www.uncut.co.uk/paul-weller/paul-weller-success-does-strange-things-to-people-feature Read more at http://www.uncut.co.uk/node/17728#jbopyD6B6OVHGGuf.99

"The local darlings’ catchy, ebullient pop jams are most certainly youthful but far from anything that could be considered sinister. Led by Troy Nelson and Mackenzie Mercer, the band broke out in 2011 with a vocal chemistry that buzzes in your ears with the pleasing oohs and ahhs of something that is simply meant to be, like two voices separated at birth. Nelson and Mercer’s harmonies are what leave listeners swooning, but it’s the band’s jangly, buoyant, and delightfully precise instrumentation that gives their pop tunes their unrelenting propulsiveness and energy, leaving listeners with a spirited sense that everything is going to be all right."

"Specializing in rollicking but slightly shambolic tales of hard living and questionable behavior, the Spider Bags were first formed in New Jersey by guitarist and vocalist Dan McGee and bassist and guitarist Gregg Levy. The two met in the mid-'90s when Levy, still a teenager, was playing with a band that needed a new singer, and the vocalist they recruited brought McGee along to play second guitar. Levy and McGee discovered they shared an enthusiasm for Jimi Hendrix, acoustic blues, and marijuana, and while Levy's band proved short-lived, he and McGee became fast friends. Levy and McGee ran with a hard-partying crowd where alcoholism and serious drug abuse became common, and after a few of their friends succumbed to their habits, Levy retreated first to college, then to marriage, parenthood, and a nine-to-five job, playing in bands with friends as a hobby." www.allmusic.com

"Like most bands, Australia's Hoodoo Gurus were largely the product of their influences; unlike most bands, however, the Hoodoos channeled their inspiration from the vast entirety of the American pop cultural landscape, drawing on such disparate sources as B-movies, bad sitcoms, and junk food -- in tandem with the usual suspects like garage rock, power pop, and surf -- to create a distinctly kitschy and catchy sound. Formed in Sydney in 1981, Le Hoodoo Gurus (as they were originally dubbed) were led by singer/songwriter Dave Faulkner, who along with drummer James Baker previously served as a member of the short-lived Perth punk unit the Victims (best known for the autobiographical single 'Television Addict')." www.allmusic.com

Gah! "Recently, Northwest legends The Sonics performed live on KEXP’s Shake the Shack with Leon Berman. If you’re unfamiliar with The Sonics’ legacy, take note: they started in the early 60′s what would evolve into American punk of the 70′s and 80′s, grunge of the 90′s, and the garage sound we continue to hear today. Some critics even cite them as the first punk band ever! Undoubtedly, their hard sound and occasionally dark and eerie songs like “Psycho,” “The Witch,” and “Strychnine” inspired the punks and other rockers to follow, many of whom cut their teeth playing those songs. Even though The Sonics recorded together for only a few years in the mid to late 60′s, their influence remains strong even today." Check out their in-studio session right here: blog.kexp.org

That's one of the things we always connected to with James Murphy. LCD to me is like New Order and the B-52's and we deeply share a lot of those influences, and we did completely different things with it. Regine is kind of the person who dances.

"Sparks is the vehicle for the skewed pop smarts and wise-guy wordplay of brothers Ron and Russell Mael, Los Angeles natives who spent their childhood modeling young men's apparel for mail-order catalogs. While attending UCLA in 1970, the Maels formed their first group, Halfnelson, which featured songwriter Ron on keyboards and Russell as lead vocalist; the band was rounded out by another pair of brothers, guitarist Earle and bassist Jim Mankey, and drummer Harley Feinstein. Halfnelson soon came to the attention of Todd Rundgren, who helped land the group a contract with Bearsville and produced their self-titled 1971 debut. Their quirky, tongue-in-cheek art pop failed to find an audience, however, and their manager successfully convinced the Maels to change the group's name." www.allmusic.com/artist/sparks-mn0000009084/biography

"Philadelphia band Restorations have managed to both attract and defy labels since their humble origins in 2008. Formed by singer/guitarist Jon Loudon and guitarist Dave Klyman following the breakup of their post-hardcore band Jena Berlin, the two casually assembled a new band with little more ambition than having a reason to get together once a week and play. It took a couple of years to get going, but by 2010 Restorations had begun a string of releases that would garner them ardent critical praise for their marriage of post-rock, punk, Americana, folk-rock, and anthemic indie." www.allmusic.com/artist/restorations-mn0002542317/biography

"If you played 'North Side Gal,' today’s featured song, by JD McPherson (or any of McPherson’s other songs, for that matter) for someone and told them that they had to bet their life on whether it was recorded in 1958 or 2010, it’s a safe bet that almost every person polled would end up dead. His debut album, Signs & Signifiers, was released in October of 2010 and is full of throwback 'rock ‘n roll' that could easily serve as the soundtrack to a night of cruising down Main Street in the convertible before hitting up a drive-in movie. McPherson seems like such a product of the ’50s generation, that when reading about his humble beginnings in Oklahoma as the son of a farmer and a preacher, I was taken aback when his bio casually mentioned Talking Heads and Bad Brains as influences." blog.kexp.org
