Sex, Drugs and Electro from The Sonixx


The Sonixx are a new one man electro group out of Montreal, Canada, whose debut EP “Sex, Drugs and Electro” is full of string washes and split second classic house shout outs and grinding synth bass. If you’re intrigued, the EP is now available for purchase on his Myspace via paypal.

Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head

Natalie Portman’s Shaved head is a 5 piece out of Seattle that rivals the likes of CSS and Does it Offend You Yeah? with their clever hipster fashion references and relentless electro/power pop. Their new album ‘Glistening Pleasure’ drops July 15th and it is a bangin’ album. The concepts of the songs are amusing alone, like “Sophisticated Sideways Ponytail” and “Beard Lust” but wait there’s more, they erupt into a full on indie dance party often calling to mind the Cure’s experimentation in the early 80′s with pop/dance and the falsetto layering of the Dandy Warhols. If you’re in the mood for some reckless abandon with a shot of coy self awareness NPSH can provide you with a good time.

Frankmusik Alphabeat & Leon Jean-Marie Get Some Digital Lovin’

I literally just checked my e-mail and I saw the words “Frankmusik” and “Alphabeat” in one of the subject headers, so thought, “This is the best thing I’ve been sent in days” before I even opened it. So long story short, tour mates Frankmusik, Alphabeat, and Leon Jean-Marie collaborated on a cover of Daft Punk’s “Digital Love”. The results are highly enjoyable.
