This time tho` I thank him so much because I came across this AMAZING band which was featured in one of his videos.
Crazy I would say, also because when I found out that these guys are italian I really freaked out: their sound, the atmosphere , the music influences I spotted are not italian at all!
This doesn`t mean I wouldn`t have fancied italian "sounds" but I am so impressed and shocked on the fact that this is such a "Brooklin-esque" kind of sound.
It`s hard to recreate that atmosphere if your band haven`t born in that kind of environment, plus, the kind of instruments, the influences, the background....everything is so specific of that place.
I wish the last MGMT album was this good, to be honest.
FUCK YEAH ITALIA!

Today's album:
CIVIL CIVIC- rules
this album just randomly came to my attention, and to be honest, it's SO GOOD.
the band is a weird combination of guitar and bass, playing on some pre-registered drum patterns.

The Husbands are an all-female American garage punk band that formed in 2002 in San Francisco, California. The band has gone on an international concert tour in the United States and Montreal, Quebec, Canada.They have two full length records on Swami Records. They have toured the United States four times performing with bands such as Dead Moon, Demolition Doll Rods, Beehive and The Baracudas, The Sultans, Hot Snakes and The Black Lips
As of 2007, the band includes Sarah Reed, Sadie Shaw, and Casey Ward and previously included Nikki Sloate, Tina Luchesi, Donny Nuenhausen, John Dwyer, Matt Hartman and others. Sadie Shaw was previously the keyboardist in the punk goth band The Vanishing on Gold Standard Laboratories. Casey Ward also played keys in the black metal band Weakling.
The Zeros were an American punk rock band, formed in 1976 in Chula Vista, California. The band was composed of Javier Escovedo (younger brother of Alejandro Escovedo, older brother of Mario Escovedo of the Dragons) on vocals/guitar and Robert Lopez (later known as El Vez) on guitar, who were both attending Chula Vista High School; Hector Penalosa, (bass), and Baba Chenelle, (drums), who attended Sweetwater High School.
In 1977, The Zeros played their first major gig in Los Angeles at the Orpheum Theater. Opening the show was the first performance by The Germs, followed by The Zeros and then The Weirdos. The gig was promoted by Peter Case of The Nerves who later served as the frontman of The Breakaways and The Plimsouls. The Zeros' first single release, "Wimp" b/w "Don't Push Me Around" was released in 1977 on Bomp! Records.
In 1978, Penalosa left the band briefly to live and play in Los Angeles, and was replaced by Guy Lopez, Robert Lopez's brother. Soon after, Robert left to live in Los Angeles as well and his brother quit the Zeros. Penalosa rejoined the band and they continued as a trio, and eventually relocated to San Francisco. In March 1979, theUK music magazine, NME, reported that "punk riots had come to the U.S., when Los Angeles police broke up a Zeros' gig at Elks Hall."
In 1980, the band recordeda new single, including the songs "They Say That (Everything's Alright)," "Girl on the Block" and "Getting Nowhere Fast." After more touring that led to Austin, Texasand New York, the band fizzled out.
The band is infamous for playing an entire set consisting of 8 replays of "Beat Your Heart Out" in San Francisco.
More recently, the Zeros reunited to tour in Spain in early 2007. All four members reunited again for a short West Coast tour that began in San Diego in June 2009. In October 2010, the Zeros embarked on a short U.S. tour of the East Coast.
Cover versions of songs by The Zeros were released by The Hoodoo Gurus (Wimp), Los Angeles' bands, Wednesday Week ("They Say That Everything's Alright") andThe Muffs ("Beat Your Heart Out").
The Cramps were an American punk rock band, formed in 1976 and active until 2009. The band split after the death of lead singer Lux Interior.[1] Their line-up rotated much over their existence, with the husband and wife duo of Interior and lead guitarist Poison Ivy the only permanent members. Guitarist Bryan Gregory and drummer Pam Ballam completed the first complete lineup in April 1976.
They were part of the early CBGB punk rock movement that had emerged in New York. The Cramps are noted as influencing a number of musical styles: not only are they one of the first garage punk bands but also by being the first known band to blend punk rock with rockabilly, The Cramps are widely recognized as one of the prime innovators ofpsychobilly, and they inspired many of the early goth rock bands.

2+2=4
so, let's do update what's going on.
this week's gig:
20/01/2011 tennis at captain rest
she's terrific. skinny as hell, long curly hair, small girl , nice voice.
the guitarist looks just like he's out of "happy days", his hair tells
the way they were playing made my friend realise they were married: smiling one to another, wearing a big wedding ring on the left hand.
liek the sound, very nice slow twee pop, mixed with the sound of the waves of the atlantic ocean.
read their story and u'll understand.
this week's song:
hard to tell, the week has just started. but I feel like it's fair enough to say this stupid , poppy, 90's sound new song from the go! team and bethany cosentino will be this week's song.
at first listen it makes u happy, and u really don't understand why.
but then if u think about it a bit u'll soon realise that , if u were born in the 80's (which basically means have lived the childhood during the 90's), this is the mood u get at first listen.
why? because the song sounds like a FUCKING 90's big hit!
do u guys agree? those songs reminds of the greatest time ever: hanson, backstreet boys, spice girls and mtv's charts.
oh dear, THIS IS FREAKING NOSTALGIA
youtube comment to the video:
and this is the go!team after all, never been a fan on them, but definitely a fan of the mood of their song.
