| Moonbabies http://www.moonbabiesmusic.com Moonbabies are possibly one of Sweden's most exciting and adventurous bands. Since the early 2000's the band has released a suite of high-quality albums and ep's and toured extensively with sold-out shows in countries like Germany, Sweden and the USA. Moonbabies have been hyped by both critics and an ever growing following in the USA, not least in Canada, which may not come as a surprise since the band share a similair artistic and musical approach with Canadian acts like The Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene and Stars. Their anticipated third full-length album will be released by Startracks/V2 in February-March 2007. - (Read more) |
| Mr. Solo http://devant.info Here is the first instalment of the Norman Wisdom installation as it occured on Sunday 1st July 2007. the day of the smoking ban implementation (in confined public spaced). It feels a little like hoardin milk teeth or collating my own toilet paper (used). but on the other hand there is a real joy in seeing the space filled with human nonsense. I was very lucky in that the steps were the perfect for for the screens I made. As you'll see the fanzine pamphlet becomes a bit of a side show and the real work comes out of my struggle to relinquish control. having said that the pamphlet (in all good art shops) will hopefully have a ripple like effect. - (Read more) |
| Saturday Looks Good To Me http://slgtm.com Saturday Looks Good To Me is the songs and experiments of Michigan-born songwriter and producer Fred Thomas. Since their almost accidental genesis the band has taken on many different forms and variations, channeling widely varied influences from the history of pop music and the world all around us to sculpt a very personal, intensely honest wall of sound. The group materialized in 2000 as part of a highly conceptual project involving a record label that only put out bands that didn't exist. Fred ventured into his basement room in Ann Arbor Michigan and with various singers and musicians stopping by to add their help, emerged a few months later with nine songs of dusty, loopy Motown-inspired pop. He named the project Saturday Looks Good To Me. Nothing more than an exciting recording experiment, the songs were pressed in a super limited edition on LP, and when those were gone, they were released on CD in an equally obscure and grassroots manner. The band still existed only on records in the fall of 2002 when a phone call came in from emo-heartthrobs Saves The Day asking Thomas if he could assemble a live band to play these songs as the opening act for their US tour. A band was pieced together and thus began SLGTM's foray into the strange and dizzying world of independent music. Based on the exposure gained from that tour and an accumulating library of songs that were ready to be heard, the group signed a deal with Polyvinyl Records. Over the next three years the band would tour constantly and release two albums with Polyvinyl, "All Your Summer Songs" and "Every Night", both met with critical acclaim, top ten lists, and the love of a growing audience. - (Read more) |

| The Clarks http://www.clarksonline.com/multimedia/ The Clarks have never worn matching outfits, never choreographed a step or dragged around overkill lighting and stage sets. They’ve never struck arena-rock poses – never had any gimmicks or affectations at all. They just get onstage and get it done. - (Read more) |
