My phone call woke up Little Dragon singer (and all-around indie goddess) Yukimi. She was napping before the show while on tour with Gorillaz. Yukimi and the band are from Gothenberg, Sweden, a town known more for its metal than its chill electronic indie pop. You'll have to listen for when I get poor groggy Yukimi to give me her best metal GROWL.

No one knows who Little Dragon is YET, but everyone I have introduced to the band loves ’em. Check out “Feather.” This song Yukimi wrote because she resented being told that women are not risk-takers.

Tracks played on the show...

1) Little Dragon, Machine Dreams "Feather"
2) Gorillaz (feat Little Dragon), Plastic Beach "Empire Ants" (partial)
3) Jose Gonzalez "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (cover) (background only)

This week we’ve got another undiscovered chilled-out, Scandinavian electronic group. Meet WhoMadeWho! Yes, WhoMadeWho is named after the AC/DC song, but the band  sounds NOTHING like AC/DC.  These guys DO sound a lot like Miike Snow and Hot Chip.

When I met up with the band, the guys were so jetlagged that I had to wake them up to chat.

Tracks played on the show...

1) Who Made Who, The Plot "The Plot"
2) Who Made Who, Who Made Who "The Loop" (snippet)
3) Who Made Who, The Plot "Keep Me In My Plane"
4) Who Made Who, The Plot "Small Town City"
5) Who Made Who, The Plot "This Train"

They say the 90’s should be “coming back” any time now (if they ever went away). This week, I've got not one but two acts with a special connection to that era.

Shane from The New Loud knows is convinced the 90's are coming back. His band has a new single called “Wrapped In Plastic.” The track was inspired by the cult classic TV show Twin Peaks and the song was written from the point of view of the dead 90s icon Laura Palmer.

Loreta also has a special soft spot for the 90’s. She has recently covered Michael Jackson‘s 90’s single “Stranger In Moscow.” Listen to our chat and see how she reacts when an angry Mariah Carey invades her dressing room!

Tracks played on the show...

1) Angelo Badalamenti, Twin Peaks Soundtrack "Twin Peaks Theme" (background)
2) The New Loud, Measures Melt  "Wrapped In Plastic"
3) Angelo Badalamenti, Twin Peaks Soundtrack "Laura Palmer's Theme" (background)
4) The New Loud, Measures Melt  "Get Lost"
5) Loreta "Stranger In Moscow" (Michael Jackson cover)
6) Loreta "Happily Never After"

Evil Ebenezer has been slugging it out in the sometimes unforgiving west coast hip hop scene, trying to make a name for himself. When I called him, he was updating his Facebook page, getting ready for a tour. Not very EVIL, but he told me he leaves the true villainy for the stage.

Tracks played on the show...

1) Evil Ebenezer, Evil Eye "Scarecrow"
2) Evil Ebenezer, Evil Eye "Ghostbusters"
3) Evil Ebenezer, Evil Eye "Step To"
4) Evil Ebenezer, Evil Eye "Take Me With You"

As soon as I had my foot in the door of the Halestorm tour van, the band's drummer Arejay was shaking my hand and calling me “Shades” (because I was wearing sunglasses). In fact, the entire group had an explosive energy (they later blamed on coffee), but one thing was clear, these guys want a career in music.

Hard rockers Halestorm started out in 2005 touring a live EP and then in 2009 finally released their self-titled debut. These guys tour relentlessly and being a road veteran gives the band a confidence you don’t see in a lot of new acts.

At the centre of Halestorm are the Hale siblings, Lizzy (the frontwoman)and Arejay. They believe in keeping things in the family. Mom is the tour manager and Dad drives their bus. And at a Halestorm show, you will run into their mom in the audience selling Halestorm CDs.

Apparently Arejay gets asked a lot how he feels about his sister singing about “getting off,” (Halestorm's signature song is “I Get Off”) and he HATES it. Listen to him go off about it in the our chat.

Tracks played on the show...

1) Halestorm, Halestorm "Bet You Wish You Had Me Back"
2) Halestorm, Halestorm "I Get Off"
3) Halestorm, Halestorm "Familiar Taste of Poison"
4) Halestorm, Halestorm "It's Not You"

If you were listening to music in the 90's, you will remember the track “Drinking In LA.” It was one of those songs that was EVERYWHERE. That song is by a group of Montrealers called BranVan 3000. 

Back in the 1997 when “Drinking In LA” exploded, a bunch of friends who had been calling the project an “electronic music collective” were suddenly touring the world. Then BV3 got signed to the Beastie Boys‘ record label and R&B Legend Curtis Mayfield sang on their second record’s lead single “Astounded.”

Things turned quickly. The Beastie‘s label imploded, leaving Bran Van 3000 high and dry. “Astounded” turned out to be Mayfield’s final song. And the group seemed to disappear forever.

Good news! The crew is back with a new record, The Garden. This week, I talk with BV3 kingpin James DiSalvio about everything, from having one of “those songs” to riding that crazy wave of success to getting the old crew back together again and recapturing the magic.

Tracks played on the show... 

1) Bran Van 3000, Glee (1997) "Drinking In LA"
2) Bran Van 3000, Discosis (2001) "Astounded"
3) Bran Van 3000, The Garden (2010) "Oui Have Now"
4) Bran Van 3000, The Garden (2010) "Stillness"

It’s never easy to end things. Not for me, not for you, and not for musicians, either. It is an under appreciated discipline for bands to bid farewell to the costumes and habits that they once held dear and to break new ground in opposite directions. When the first demo cassette by Cologne’s Urban Homes was released in early 2011, the four songs constituted a blend of the musicians’ former musical projects, like Yage, PTTRNS, and Airpeople – a lot of what had been special and sophisticated in Punk and Hardcore in the Rhine region over the past 13 years. Measured by that, »Centres« is a revolution, a document of the band’s astute awareness and high standards. 

“The change came when our drummer left the city for several months,” the band explains, describing the beginning of the process that resulted in the changes that lead to »Centres«.

As a reaction to their drummer’s professional hiatus, Urban Homes decided to start from scratch with a Roland TR-707 drum machine. Shaped and influenced by ever-changing musical predilections, the group developed a style that drew influence from house music, dub, kraut rock, balearic, and disco – a sound that is complex and structured, but powerful when performed live. Because of this, »Centres« resembles a producer-record, yet it comes from a band that is rooted in the guitar underground, a design that is comparable to what bands such as Supersystem, !!! and The Rapture did to North American post-punk. 

The individual tracks on »Centres« provide hints to the band’s development process. “Full Trance Effect”, with its acoustic drum set, can be considered a relic of the early days. The record’s final track, “Untitled Luv,” is a spacey and slow growing eleven-minute rave, which brings together all of the group’s influences, marking the boundary for a house-music sound that can actually be played as a band. At this point, »Centres« fully abandons classic song structure and embraces the dynamics of electronic music, a sound that is clever, ingrained in a tradition, and imperative in its consequence.
