One of my favorite bands is set to return (Finally!) with a new full length album. The Canadian/Belgian electronic/pop/rock duo of Mathieu Gendreau and Pieter Van Dessel who formed Plastic Operator in London, UK have released a fierce new single rife with guitar riffs and danceable beats. That familiar enveloping warm electronic fuzz is all over this track and makes me want to hear more tracks. But alas, I have to wait until Feb 12.
A little drawing I just finished up. They launched this chimp into space. Here they are… “preparing” him.
Another submission to Illustration Friday. Keeping these simple since I’m a busy man.
What a year for music. So many great bands made a triumphant return this year and so many new bands burned their mark into the consciousness of listeners this year as well. A steady stream of good music flooded my inbox and continues to do so. Let’s celebrate this year by recounting all the swell albums that have come our way. (more…)
Bear Cavalry are a band that I presume are from the UK. They employ a bouncy mix of traditional rock instruments with some synth and horns. Imagine all the energy of ska but much better musicianship.

Pretty cool that they can do all this stuff live.

Wrongkong is a band that lives and works in Nürnberg, Germany, although their singer was originally born in Canada. Their first single “Crystal Clear” has a bouncy electronic meets acoustic sound with an icy vocal that cuts through the mix. It’s a bit like Neko Case fronting Junior Senior. Have I intrigued you?

Two guys with beards from Sweden who really get into chess. Nothing wrong with that.

Some great editing in this one. Or perhaps some superfast clones.
