but it’s spring break! i’ve been listening to larkin grimm quite a lot in the past couple of weeks. she has a wonderful, powerful voice and plays the dulcimer (and other instruments) beautifully. now based in providence, rhode island, she was born in a commune of energy healers in tennessee, raised in the appalachian foothills of georgia, and once hitchhiked across alaska.

March 28, 2008HOT BOX
March 4, 2008
this has been said of wizardtron, and yes, i am repeating it:
“Darbong, Humtron and Rainbow Tits comprise this Montreal band that incorporates punk, art rock, no wave and various sounds to give you a cerebral hemmorhage and akathisia.”
i got quite happy when i heard their song hot box. this band could easily get a room full of people dancing. kickass dancey drums, wicked organ, and super fun, half-screamed vocals!!!!! plus they have a song called hot box. hot boxes are amazing, by the way. they’re also acquaintances/friends/fans? of fellow montrealers aids wolf. if you’re in/around the montreal area and they’re playing, go see them. i think the show would be very fun, although this is just…speculation.
for your listening/dancing pleasure:
hot box
it’s really fun to shout HOT BOX!!!!!!!!!
je suis pants
March 3, 2008not really. je suis france, however….
je suis france is an amazing rock band from the lovely athens, georgia. its 9 members make anything from a loud wall of psychy-influenced sound to still loud rock anthems. the guitars are catchy (they remind me of sonic youth’s daydream nation and goo as well…sonic youth in general maybe), the vocals are nice (lyrics just witty enough), and every other piece of instrumentation is a lovely addition. the france. wall of sound wall of sound wall of sound. loud loud loud! GREAT BAND. one time they did some frank zappa covers too!
here are two songs your ears will appreciate:
california still rules
wizard of points
happy listening!
