Quien,es BOOM!

Quien es,Boom!

"The foundation of the Quien es, BOOM! sound is laid out by the chimey guitar work of the band's two founders, writing partners Jason Butler and Dabney Dwelle. Recalling early and the melodic side of REMSonic Youth, the pair interweave delicate appreggios hypnotically throughout the seven songs that make up the sturdy, refreshing "Cast Your Burdens Aside" ep"

Anyone who likes sonic youth,pele,ghosts and vodka,modest mouse,beck or wilco to name a few will love this band! check out two mp3s below taken from their debut EP "cast your burdens aside" realesed on sixgun lover records.

Go go gadget superchunk

SUPERCHUNK

As usual i have no idea where to start with this band. For one i cant even remember how i first came about hearing them, it could of either been thanks to a BMX video called Road fools back in 97' or through hype from a zine i used to get that i cant even remember the name of now thanks to a friend of mine Mr J.Daniels.

Either way, since the first time i heard them i have never ever stopped loving them, the more i listen to them the more i like them! Most bands that ive gotten into over the years have produced some amazing first few years of music and then seem to change everything great about them and start to follow a new lables "great new sound" or try too hard to follow whats hot right now instead of keeping up what theyve always done! Superchunk on the other hand have done the opposit! Instead of following all the passing fads and sounds and fashions they just stuck to their guns and kept doing what they always did, and that was straight up great American indie rock.

"Superchunk released Superchunk in 1990, a critically-lauded LP. In spite of the ensuing bidding war, Superchunk decided to stay independent, sticking with Matador Records for their second, just as critically-lauded LP, No Pocky for Kitty, followed by a collection of singles, Tossing Seeds and another pair of well-reviewed LP's, On the Mouth and Foolish.

Superchunk singer Mac McCaughan and bassist Laura Ballance launched Merge Records to release the band's future albums, as well as other indie-rock acts, including Lambchop and The Arcade Fire. They continue touring and recording, appearing on Lollapalooza and backing a minor hit in "Hyper Enough" (from Here's Where the Strings Come In). In 1999, Superchunk released Come Pick Me Up.

The band has not released a new studio album since 2001's Here's to Shutting Up, and their most recent tour was in support of the 2003 compilation Cup of Sand. Their most recent show was played at this year's South by Southwest in Austin, Texas." -wikipedia

One hell of a bender

Ill Ease

"Brooklyn New York's Ill Ease is the solo band of multi instrumentalist Elizabeth Sharp. After playing drums in New Radiant Storm King for 5 years. Sharp decided to go it alone in 1998 recording three albums for the Smilex label which brought her to the attention of Too Pure/Beggars Group. Her first UK album release "The Exorcist" came out in 2004 and "The After After Party Party" EP followed in 2005.

The Ill Ease live show is a fun fuelled whirlwind of deconstructed guitar riffs, bass loops and drum licks performed as one seamless set with one song melting in to the next Like Ill Ease recordings, many songs in the live performance begin with the drums, are built up with bass loops and fragmented guitar riffs, and then fully animated by cityscape sound collages, aka found sounds, like car horns and police sirens. Elizabeth Sharp runs the Ill Ease show from her drum stool front of stage delivering her unique slippery vocal style which crests over and contrasts with the drums, guitar, bass, shaker, tambourine and everything else that rattles and buzzes. Ill Ease manifest snippets of Chicagoan electric blues and warped Rolling Stones b-sides all scratched and skipping to a New York noise with a hip-hop beat. Sonic dissonance with recalcitrant vocal hooks that won't go home. Woozy rhythms that won't stumble out until after last call. A one-piece that you'd swear was a 5 piece if you blurred your eyes." -sxsw
