Event - Teengirl Fantasy @ Plano b



Friday, december 18th, Teengirl Fantasy @ Plano b [info: http://www.planobporto.com/index.php?opcao=2&tipo=2]

Here's a cotation from the band, describing their sound:
"Sometimes when I close my eyes I picture a club far away where there is free piña coladas. People are happy and no one can hurt me, not even myself. Suddenly a glitter ball light starts pulsating out of a cube that appeared out of the ocean. It slowly walked towards me and asked me to dance. I figured, why not? The night grew into a sunrise, I sat on a rooftop and cried while falling asleep, but with a glimmer of a smile on my face. It was possibly the most beautiful club I'd ever been to. The pulsating ball of light was called Teengirl Fantasy."


You can also find their music, free download [and legal], here:

Grizzly Bear - Cheerleader [Neon Indian remixes]




"Eighties-loving chillwave act Neon Indian brings baroque indie faves Grizzly Bear into his world on two new remixes of Grizz’s Veckatimest track “Cheerleader”. The cleverly titled “Sega Genesis P-Orridge” mix is upbeat (and more Sega Genesis than Throbbing Gristle) while the “Studio 6669” mix smooths things out a bit."

Egyptian Hip Hop




Egyptian Hip Hop is a teenaged four-piece psychedelic band from Manchester with a penchant for Cairo, 50 Cent and MS Paint. I found them while researching Neon Indian. Both bands’ sounds swathed in spacey synths, have been compared by Fader magazine. While Egyptian Hip Hop’s sound is a bit more fragmented and unsettled than Neon Indian’s chilled out euphoria, their songs (and only known recordings so far) ‘Heavenly’ and ‘Rad Pitt’ show a young enthusiasm for otherness and a gripping talent beginning to emerge. In their song ‘Heavenly’ they use sort of naff ’90s keyboard sounds with monotone singing styles and shattering, harsh drum machine rhythms. The song was played on Steve Lamacq’s infamous Radio 1 show in late April this year, obviously thrilling the band, who said, “he said it was impressive or something”. The cute and catchy cloudy pop of ‘Rad Pitt’ show their affected, youthful vocals are steeped in a much harsher reality than Neon Indian’s dreamlike bliss, but the hopeful adolescence shining through in the gritty guitar lines show this is a young band full of promise.

Charlie Why


Charlie Why. At 18, Charlie Why is already recognised as an innovative Australian DJ and producer, having started making music in 2005. Two years later, he is a regular performer at parties and clubs around Brisbane and has supported acts such as TIM SWEENEY(new york), COUSIN COLE(new york), RICHARD SEN(uk), LOST VALENTINOS(sydney), MIKE CALLANDER(melbourne), STA(canada), KNIFE MACHINE(kitsune) and many more. With such success Charlie has also had some radio play with stations such as ‘triple J’ and has been featured on blogs ‘Big stereo’ and ‘Hey Kids’ plus many more in the near future.

Influenced by artists such as Pivot, Trentemoller, joe and will ask?, Clark, Ellen Allien and Mr Oizo, Charlie began by making basic mainstream dance music. He has since moved onto a harder, more compressed sound but retained an ambient edge. His music is both different and likeable, versatile but individual.

Charlie Why is much more than a DJ. He is a performer and intends moving into a more live orientated set. Using a laptop and various MIDI controllers to DJ, he incorporates his own original music into his sets. He also mixes music from other bands into dub-step and disco tracks, creating songs that are mixed and mashed with unique flair.

Charlie Why also announces the release of an EP soon.

"Jesus Christ." (the indie band)



I'm not sure anymore what's relevant on the web and what's not, but here you go. A somewhat unconventional chillwave "sound project" by two(?) New Yorkers released their first song a few days ago. Tao Lin, a prolific gen-y writer (that's what they say - i can't afford his books) and Carles of Hipster Runoff are people/person behind "Jesus Christ." (the indie band). The whole thing is clearly intended to be a meme. Check out their muxtape page: a ton of IM-able Jesus-themed pics that aim to offend every kind of person/genre/subculture imaginable. Looks like it can be both a well-planned PR trick or the famous "throwing shit against the wall" approach. I also have noticed that every post/publication that reviewed "Jesus Christ." (the indie band) is extremely terrified of acclaiming/defaming the track from their upcoming EP. This is understandable, especially with blogs/periodicals that are trying to look"objective": better risk loss of truth than chance of error. So here's an opinion. I kinda liked how it begins with spoken stuff about "undiagnosed personality disorder" and stuff, but i would never buy it and i could never become a fan. Because contentwise it's nothing much special. I eat Hipster Runoff every morning with my oatmeal, HRO makes my day at least once a week, and i know the person behind it is a thousand times smarter than i could ever be. And yet "Jesus Christ." sounds like it was intentionally simplified to match presumable intellectual capacities of its presumable audience - gen-y'ers/indie-kids/hipsters/college students/artists and other scumbags like these (right?). "Is that really what you want?" sounds ok; it also sounds like they could do much better but for some reason didn't. It also made me write this (see above) so i guess "JC." (tib) still works on some level.
