Naughty Zombies - Spanish Goth-Punks!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

myspace.com/naughtyzombies
naughtyzombies.tk

When they met at a Subtonix show in Portland, Oregon, Lilymunster Scalofrios and Hj Zombie decided to create a torment musical project called Naughty Zombies. A neurotic Robot named Markenstein joined the band to help them in their mission of dominating the world and cause panic wherever they play their terrifying music. From the disturbed minds of these two personalitys, mixed with the deranged musical concept of the Robot, comes an array of songs that will make the most psychotic listeners dreams come true. The first song on their myspace page is a cover song called Me gusta ser una zorra (I wanna be a bitch), from Las Vulpess, a famous all female punk band from Bilbao, Spain.

Short bio: Las Vulpes were an all female punk band and their song, Me gusta ser una zorra, caused a lot of gossip in Spain in the '80s. Just like The Doors when they performed on the Ed Sullivan show (singing the song, "Light My Fire"), Las Vulpes were asked not to sing the original lyrics when they performed on a Spanish television show. And just like The Doors the ladies broke the rules and sang every original lyric down to the last zorra (means fox or bitch)! The show was pulled off the air and never went back on again.(at least this is the version of the story I heard, haha)

So, back to Naughty Zombies...They are Punk, they are Goth, they are Hot, and they are Spaniards. They have a new 7"(only 300 available!) that came out in March '06 on Blondes Must Die Records. I just found about their new album so hopefully I can still buy a copy!!!

(Diplo signed) Bonde Do Role | Listen & stuff

BONDE DO ROLE



DIPLO
"Afew years ago, Diplo -- the genre-crushing Philadelphia DJ-producer and M.I.A. collaborator -- discovered funk carioca, the booming Miami bass-ish sound of Rio de Janeiro's shantytowns. 'It was, like, little children screaming about drugs over a Smiths loop and a breakbeat,' says Diplo, who regularly visits Brazil. 'I thought it was perfect music.' Bonde do Role, the first signing to his new Mad Decent label, have an art-school take on the sound (also known as baile funk), pairing the biggest, dumbest samples ever with comically dirty shout-rapped Portuguese lyrics..." [Rolling Stone says you better watch them] (J told me to watch them too)

LISTEN
Rolling Stone writes, "In complete disregard for U.S. copyright law, Bonde do Role (D'eyrot, 22, MC Marina Ribatski, 21, and producer and DJ Rodrigo Gorky, 25) pile super-recognizable samples -- AC/DC, the Grease soundtrack, Tone-Loc -- into an over-the-top party-starting mix" --FOUR SONGS STREAMING @ THEIR MYSPACE--


They have an EP. That's it pictured there to the right. It's got a Diplo remix on it, and the sleeve was designed by Nick Catchdubs.

NaNuchKa - NYC Gypsies by-way-of-Tel Aviv
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

myspace.com/nanuchka
nanuchka.com

Golgo Bordello meets Oingo Boingo meets Shakira meets Fiona Apple meets Danny Elfman. The best way for me to explain what I witnessed last night at The Annex in the Lower East Side.

Nanuchka's myspace page says NYC and their website says by-way-of-Tel Aviv. Gypsies, punks, vixens, party people lookin’ for a good time in the darkness of NYC nights? You'll just have to take my word for it until you get to see them yourself...

The show starts off with a weird little alien-like creature coming on stage (a guy in a black brimmed hat and a halloween mask with a black plastic bag wrapped around his forhead.) He mumbled into the mic and pointing to people out in the crowd as if he was looking for someone. Then he rolled around on the floor while a camera girl filmed it all.

The band finally makes their way on stage and begin playing with no stalls or last minute sound check. The singer, bassist, keyboardist, Nula stood front and center looking exotically sexy yet militantly strong and firm. Long flowing brown hair with fire red low lights and poison red lipstick that could kill. A traditional black asian dress w/ slits up the legs to her mid thigh and black shit-kicker knee-high boots. The guitarist, Roy Gurel, looked like son of the gypsy king with his long, black hair and mysterious mad-in love eyes. Wearing a black shirt w/ white pin stripes, black skinny pants, and black boots. The way he plucking away at his guitar effortlessly yet so perfect. The drummer, John Gurel, played deep cabaret rock-like beats. Looking sleek and conservative yet handsome and smart with a mischiefous smile.

Together they played wonderfully and kept the momentum up to a 10 throughout the show. Erie-yet-dancable bass lines, strong smoky vocals (sounded a bit like Shakira without the belly dancing, haha), a snappy guitar and deep drum beats, I felt like I was listening to a Tim Bertun movie soundtrack.

Go to their myspace page to listen to three great songs, my two favorite are "Red" and "Wonderful". I bet these gypsy princes and princess would get lots of luv from a Golgo Bordello audience. They get my full luv with ****! One thing I wish I could have heard in their sets: Hebrew and English lyrics. Now that would make them even hotter!

Sub Pop Signs Cansei De Ser Sexy (from CMJ.com)
Apr 11, 2006
Story by: Rebecca Raber

Sub Pop has added Brazilian dance rockers Cansei De Ser Sexy to their roster. The six-member band, whose name is Portuguese for Tired Of Being Sexy, is the Seattle label's first South American signing. Sub Pop will release their eponymous debut album, which was originally put out by TramaVirtual in Brazil, on July 11. Earlier this year, we named them On The Verge (in issue 137 of New Music Monthly) because we knew their pulsating synths, profane English lyrics and girlishly snotty delivery made them a band to watch. It seems someone at Sub Pop thought so too.



Tracklist For Cansei De Ser Sexy:
01. CSS Suxxx
02. Patins
03. Alala
04. Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above
05. Art Bitch
06. Fuckoff Is Not The Only Thing You Have To Show
07. Meeting Paris Hilton
08. Off The Hook
09. Alcohol
10. Music Is My Hot Hot Sex
11. This Month, Day 10

They worked hard in the kitchens.

They dreamed of rap superstardom.

Blasting out of the streets of Chinatown, the gates of Hell have opened and The Notorious MSG have been reborn with a vengeance. Servin' up deep-fried beats straight from the Chinese ghetto, they will not be stopped until they achieve complete musical destruction.

The Earth will tremble. The winds will roar. The chopsticks will shatter.

God help us all.

Once again I found this band on myspace and I couldn't help but tell you about them! No, they don't sing in chinese, or at least I don't think so.

THE FADER to launch Japanese edition in September 2006!



website/blog

[Text from Advertising Age magazine] - The Fader, the hip emerging-music and lifestyle magazine that has been published in New York since 1996, has struck a deal to introduce Japanese edition due to appear on newstands this September 2006.
Because The Fader, an independent title that publishes eight times a year, struck a lincensing deal with Blues Interaction, a Japanese publishing company, the foray will become a new revenue center at the word go. Blues Interaction was able to win over The Fader, which has never published an international edition before, partly because of the company's commitment to music. In Japan, it publishes a music magazine called BMR, while a subsidiary called P-Vine distributes albums from independent American publishers like Matador Records.
"I had done a lot of due diligence on these types of deals," said Andy Cohn, publisher, The Fader. "I'd heard a lot of stories about the translation, which gets really messy. You think of the deals from a financial standpoint but it's really more important to think of the editorial translation. It can really damage the brand - it's a small world."
Fader Japan will comprise 70% translated material from The Fader and 30% original material, and will include advertising. In the U.S., advertisers include General Motors Corp., Heineken, Puma, Pepsi Cola Co. and Armani Exchange.
The Fader, Which claims unaudited paid circulation of 87, 500 in the U.S., anticipates more international editions ahead. "We're going to be announcing more of these deals down the road and it's given us a really good template for how to make these deals work from an editorial integrity standpoint," Mr. Cohn said. - Nat Ives (Advertising Age)
TIGARAH! Tokyo's version of MIA and Lady Sovereign coming to LA!



myspace.com/tigarah
tigarah.net

Tigarah found me on myspace about a few months back and I couldn't believe my ears...her music sounded like a mixture of MIA and Lady Sovereign but she was singing in English and Japanese!! Me being the foreign language lover, I wrote her and told her how much I was gushing over her stuff and that she needed to send me her demo. In a matter of a week or so I received a package in the mail w/ two demos and a press release:) I've been telling everyone who will listen about her!

Now she's in Cali, uh, wait, when are you coming to NYC then??!!! Hopefully soon:)
By the way, Tigarah's looking for management right now, supposedly talking to the manager of Goldfrapp...so if anyone's interested contact her guy, Manuel (AKA Mr. D - Beatmachine).

She'll be performing in LA on April 25th. Here's the details:

CANSEI DE SER SEXY! From Sao Paulo, Brazil Coming to America!



myspace.com/canseidesersexy
canseidesersexy.com

Cansei De Ser Sexy translations: TIred Of Being Sexy, is coming the USA in July 2006 and you better get your ass to see at least one of their shows!!!

Jul 19 2006 11:00P Avalon New York, NY
Jul 20 2006 11:00P Warsaw Brooklyn, NY
Note: Go to their myspace to see the rest of their USA dates.

Now I must say the locations are a bit weird and rather large for a band that even though I know are awesome, don't really have a USA following YET. But all the same, my friend Greg from Finger On The Pulse (thank you Greggy pants!) intruduced them to me and I've been hooked ever since!

A young group from Sao Paulo, with an electro-punk-funk-dancehall vibe goin' on that feels so good! Apparently the official press release translated from Portuguese reads pretty interesting in the English language, (text taken from CCS myspace) stating: "Taking the fact of not knowing how to play their instruments as a challenge for creativity, the group started to risk small shows in the night clubs that feed Sao Paulo underground."

Skip back to Sao Paulo, circa 2003: A band comes together not with any presumptions or typical formulas, but by meeting at clubs and photologs (some sort of social networking sites focused on sharing photos and video, and apparently quite popular in Brazil), deciding to try something new. They meet in basements. They plan. Without knowing how to play the instruments set before them, the experiment begins. One day, a girl forgets her guitar and is given the microphone instead, suddenly able to yell out. It fits. Eventually the group expands into six members strong, a combination of some girls with guitars and one guy trying out new drums; all steadily tumbling into their skills. Handclaps and one crappy keyboard, throwing in beats; tumbling and tumbling again. Fuelled by aggravation towards the empty swagger of faux artists, and to celebrate the un-celebrity, a name was chosen: CSS. "Lovefoxxx is a very gifted designer, Ana studies cinema, Ira is a fashion designer, Carolina works with graphic design. Luiza is in art school."

Fast forward to 2006: Over loose beats and quick programming, this group sings in Englishas opposed to their native language of Portuguese and claim that their scene is not Sao Paulo, but the internet. As evinced by "Meeting Paris Hilton" and "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above," CSS makes unshakably clear its predilection for the glorification of pop culture. Between funky dancehall and keys that bubble and bounce, lead Lovefoxxx continues to yell and throws down vocals in a way that is wholly unafraidshameless in the best of waysand the rest is filled in with wire-thin guitars, swift drums and manic hooks. It is a thick, pulsating thing full of haphazard synths ("Alala") and a come-on of call and response that tears down any attempt at posturing ("Art Bitch," "Patins"). An album bursting with its own unique squeaks and pops, it is intensely urgent while remaining cohesive. With fully formed music and entirely fragmentary lyrics, they had truly arrived. "Each of these nights turns into an adventure. Everything can happen: plastic balls war between the band and the audience, stage divings, panties showing, male underwear threw to the stage (and back), people playing with their backs to the audience the entire show and even people playing seated on the floor in a rare anti-show position."

CSS's Cansei de Ser Sexy, or "Tired of Being Sexy," is their debut for Sub Pop. It is equal parts rock mantra and throwback into something new, transcending boundaries of genre and geography. It careers full speed into dance territory, into the unknown and untouched, to emerge all hot and bothered with wild electro-rock. Pretension? Absent. Friction? Probable. They are the un-pretension: unfinished, exposed, and throwing all they have right at you. It is quick, tightly-wound, unfastened and supreme. Not a sneer but a giggle. "Not only music, but a new way to live with it. An unfinished group that, unlike preserving itself until getting 'to the point,' was bravely showing off, turning everything into style."

Correct spelling; PR4VD4, formed in Paris circa 2003 exclusively to record Buzzcocks covers. (2 songs finally released on Label Mimikaki, Poitiers, France). Thought about calling themselves The Truth before deciding to adopt the much more explicit PRAVDA name, after which they lost many friends but gained plenty more!

They have now moved on to write their own songs and are playing gigs around Europe. Recorded and released Tu es à l'ouest (split vinyl single with infamous French rudesters KWARTZ /LE CHINOIS, 2005)

ARE YOU SUPER ELEGANTE? Los Super Elegantes from LA are!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

myspace.com/lossuperelegantes
lossuperelegantes.com

Los Super Elegantes are a unique punk-mariachi-hip-pop group from Los Angeles (via Tijuana and Buenos Aires). Milena Muzquiz and Martiniano Lopez-Crozet founded the group in 1995 and have mixed original music with theatrical stage improvisations in amusing live performances. Favorites of David Byrne and featured in Index, Interview, ArtForum and the Fader, their 2002 album "Channelizing Paradise" was praised for its quirky, entertaining riffs, and they performed in 2004 as part of the Whitney Biennial in New York and in the Frieze Art Fair in London. Los Super Elegantes have played with Beck, done a version of Nirvana's "Rape Me" in French, DJ'd throughout Europe and North and South America, and have received significant airplay on Indie 103.1, WFMU, and KCRW, on which they played live in 2001. The band is currently working on a new album that will be released in 2006.

The album is now available to download through iTunes, Napster, and other digital providers!

"Less 'rock band' than all-out 'experience,' a thoroughly modern hybrid that defies easy categorization." - The Fader

Think of early Sugarcubes with a twist of New Wave, techno-y, Power pop, and a mix of Spanish and English lyrics. Their album, "Subliminal Kill," was introduced to me by a friend who saw them in London last week and she said I had to hear it! Some key tracks include: Telephone Dilemma # 10, Transpira Lo #2, Anfefetaminado #5, Santiago Song #8. Panico is on the French record label Tiger Sushi, go figure.

KARAOKE KILLED THE CAT?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MONDAY NIGHTS • FREE • 10PM PIANOS (UPSTAIRS)

Yup, I went to a Karaoke night at Piano's last night for a going away party for a co-worker. Alot of people got wasted and started singing Guns n' Roses songs and Salt n' Peppa songs, but not me. I just stood by the side lines enjoying the attraction while taking embarrassing pictures. (I'm only putting some innocent pics on here).

If anyone is interested in going to this hillarious event here's a brief write up from Anthem Mag and more detailed info:Karaoke Killed The Cat site

"Karaoke" is a dirty word. Typically it evokes images of wooden, perfunctory performances by Asian businessmen or housewives shrieking their way through Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time" while slugging back appletinis. Sure you may have done it at your cousin's wedding or at the Polish bar down the street on a drunken dare, but you wouldn't want your friends to see you. Just like enjoying elimiDATE or Ralph Nader though, sometimes you need reassurance from a more confident source to validate your guilty pleasure. Here's where Chris Ehrmann can help... - Anthem Magazine

This past Saturday night I went by Element with my friend Marcelo and his girlfriend, to see a very entertaining performance by TORREMOTO de ALCORCON, "the Flamenco Madonna of Spain" who performed her # 1 hit "Time Gous by con Loli"...

Image hosting by Photobucket

We were expecting to see a drag queen, not sure why, but this lady has real boobies, and a woman's voice so it just couldn't have been. See put on a great little number and the regular crowd of sweaty, gay men loved her! For a bunch of super gay men they sure took a liking to me and Marcelo's girlfriend and kept slapping our asses! I wonder if she's actually popular in Spain...I bet the popular transvestite party in Madrid called En Plan Tranvesti loves her!!
