ROLLING STONE says: "Sexy Lucy are the best kept secret of Columbia's electro scene."

Sexy Lucy, are not tired of being sexy like CSS but they sure have an electro pop-punk feel to them. When I saw them peform live at CBGB's Gallery, I'd say they remind me of an electro Slits meets early Glass Candy. When listening to them on recording, they remind me of CSS, Ladytron, and Glass Candy all mixed together.

The Synth and Sequences savy, Pal, and another friend started the project a while ago and has now developed into a full on band with members; Eva (Vocals), Juan Carlos Palma (Bass Guitar), Carlos (Guitar), Guguillo (Real Drums), and Pal (Synths and Sequences). Their music is filled w/ sparkly sythesizers, trance-like drum beats, crazy guitar spazms, and sexy-breathy vocals. Flirtatious lyrics (mostly in English but w/ some Spanish lyrics too) tempting you to come closer, loosing control of your body, wanting to read your pervert thoughts and such things when Eva sings "boom, boom, boom - body breaker - boom, boom, boom - body shaker."

They arrived in the USA on August 1st and have played two shows in NYC, the Latin Lovers Ball @ Crash Mansion on August 5th and the CBGB's Gallery on August 6th. Unfortunately, their bass player had to go back to Columbia on Thursday, forcing them to canceling their third show at the bi-monthly party, Night Time (hosted by Justine D, Tim Sweeney, and Dave P). They thought of possible substitutes but there seemed to be nothing that could be done (another bass player couldn't learn 9 songs in 2 days and the bass track recording via mp3 file was messed up a few days before they came to NYC).

Their album, Not For You, has some great tracks w/ my favorite one being "Lonely"! Other great songs include: Saturday Jerry, Fifth Avenue, Loosing Control, Tell Me, and Holy Hollywood. You can check out some songs on their myspace site.

Even though a lot of luck hasn't been with them on this tour, they did make it here to NYC and got a feel for how things work in the Latin and the non-Latin music community. I feel their manager, Yuzzy Acosta, has good intentions and really sees something special in them that will be appreciated much more in the future. Hang in there Sexy Lucy!! Keep strong, keep working on the music and focus on what you want!! Then, come back to the USA, rawk the world from the Algo side of things and see what happens!!

Britpop. Latinos do it better…


British rock and Britpop are cultural movements that influenced music from the 1960s to now. In the 60’s, British bands like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Kinks were some of the top hitmakers. In the 90s, Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Suede, and The Verve gained popularity around the world. These bands didn’t necessarily have a single unifying sound but they were grouped together first as a ‘scene’ and later as a national cultural movement.

Eventually, this movement spread outward from the UK to influence bands from Mexico, Spain, Peru, and Argentina to write songs in the British rock and Bripop styles but with Spanish lyrics. Iberpop is British pop sung by Spanish bands (a fact that I found on a Coldplay message board, and surprisingly, not on Wikipedia). Bands that followed this style include Los Bunkers, Sidonie, Second, Noise Box, Libido, Jumbo, Porter, Lucybell, Volumen Cero, Jeronimo, and Zoé.

Though not many people have picked up on the fact that Britpop could be sung in Spanish, bands like Zoé have made a successful career for themselves. Zoé’s history begins in Mexico in 1994, just as Britpop became the decade's most important music style. Mainly inspired by this movement, with slight influences from Seattle's grunge, Zoé would go through a period of changing line-ups and varying styles before stabilizing in 1997, with León Larregui (guitars and voice), Sergio Acosta (guitars), Beto Cabrera (drums), Ángel Mosqueda (bass), and Chucho Báez (keyboards). By this time, a clear influence from The Beatles can be perceived, alongside the mentioned Britpop and certain reminiscences to The Stone Roses and The Charlatans.

From 1998 to 2004, Zoé found that Mexico lacked venues to showcase their music and so they relied upon self-organized concerts, the Internet, and a self-published demo. All of these efforts, plus a good deal of positive word-of-mouth, helped them gain popularity in Spanish language radio stations in the USA. They signed their first recording contract in 1998, but nothing came of it, and once again they decided to rely on themselves. They independently released a "debut" album in 2000, which attracted the attention of Sony Music, who in turn took over distribution of the album. Some of the most popular songs from this recording were “Asteroide” and “Miel”.

In November 2003, Zoé launched their second album, produced by Phil Vinall, who had previously worked with the likes of Placebo, Elastica, and Pulp. This new album was titled Rocanlover, and the main singles were “Peace & Love”, “Love”, and “Veneno”. By this point, their musical style was clearly defined and easily recognizable, as was their idea to mix Spanish and English into their lyrics.

In 2004, Zoé went into a short hiatus but returned to the music scene by mid-2005, when independent label Noiselab signed a recording contract with the band. New songs and a new EP (named The Room) were produced.

Their popularity has been growing, and they're becoming more and more popular in their home country, as well as outside the alternative circles. Some of their songs have been playing in pop and alternative music stations in Mexico and the southwestern United States. Their new album, Memo Rex Commander Y El Corazón Atómico De La Vía Láctea (Commander Memo Rex and the Atomic Heart of the Milky Way), comes out in the USA on October 3rd 2006. Zoé have already been favorably reviewed in the NME.

Zoé’s new album incorporates influences like The Cure and The Verve, with dark rhythms and shoegaze textures, along with their signature poppy guitar riffs and buoyant drum beats. My favorite songs are “Vía Láctea” (Milky Way), “No Me Destruyas” (Don’t Destroy Me), “The Room”, and “Human Space Volt”.

They performed in the USA, for only one night, in New York City on Tuesday, August 1st at Webster Hall. I was in luv w/ their musica and was so excited to finally see them live!! Can’t wait for them to come back!

You ever get that feeling of butterflies in your tummy when you're in Luv?

Yeah, so do I and I totally felt it this Monday afternoon when I heard California based band, Persephone's Bees!

Prince House Records Queen bee, Ann Lee, sent me an email today w/ their link and a little image of the band. Though, I had never heard them nor heard of them I clicked on the link (I trust Ann's opinion on music so duh, why wouldn't I click the link?). Right away the web page opens w/ their automatic player starting (I love when band sites have this feature), to the song "Nice Day". I automatically felt all light and fluffy inside. After a couple of listens I felt like I was listening to a female version of The Doors, don't ask me why (I became a fan of The Doors in 3rd grade and spent that whole year painting my friend's bedroom w/ peace signs, smiley faces, flowers, and suns!).

When singing in English, Angelina Moysov's (originally from Russia) accent sounds like a mix between a native French and Spanish speaker, and to me, it that's simply luvly. Moysov is inspired by gypsy folk, French pop, and British punk, more than enough to generating an international buzz no? I think yes!! OMG, and read this: When asked what her influences are, rather than listing favorite records, Angelina replied “Some books, films, smells, colors, interaction with people and my observations of the human condition.”

Their first self produced LP, “City of Love” was nominated for the best debut album at the California Music Awards in 2002. The word of mouth buzz caused by their live shows earned them a 2001 SF Weekly Award for Best Pop Band, and led them to share bills with Cake, BRMC, Jonathan Richman, and many others.

Their song "City of Love" appears in the 2005 film and soundtrack for "Bewitched". Their full length major label debut record "Notes from the Underworld" will be released by Columbia Records in 2006, which is already getting airplay on radio stations such as KCRW.

The two songs you must, must, must listen to are "Nice Day" and "City of Love"! After you hear them, let me know if you feel the same way - "Persephone's Bees are bringing the scent of fresh flowers through song." - AmyluInLuv

** Ps Bees are performing at Star Shoes in Los Angeles tonight, July 24th!

THIS MORNINGS MYSPACE COMMENT:)

This morning an indie record label from Puerto Rico, Rokirol Records, posted a comment on my myspace page. It was a music video by Los Pepiniyos called "Ding Dong". The song definitely sounds like pop punk, Ramones meets the Queers, and I love it! The video is super low budget which I also love, with the band members playing their instruments lookin' super cool in their leather jackets and spripped t-shirts. The song is about how the singer can't sleep at night cause he's dreaming of his love (the girl on the tv screen and hidding in the corner), ugh, puppy luv!! So cute and simple!

Propia Vision (Our vision) @The Queens Museum of Art - TONIGHT!
6 to 9 pm
projects by Carlos Amorales, Graciela Fuentes, Diego Medina y Dulce Pinzon
Fresa Salvaje will open the show!

Then I'll be at Nacotheque celebrating my gurl, Yuzzy's bday!!

INCREIBLE!!...is all I can say to describe my past two days:) Wednesday was the CSS party at Sapphire, where I was the hostess and the djs of the night included: Greg B (Finger On The Pulse), Eamon Harkin (Calling All Kids), and Cansei De Ser Sexy! Some of the girls from CSS spun a pretty funny, but cool mix of stuff including Gloria Estefan, Maria Daniela, Lushious Jackson, 80's classics, and some cool Brazilian soap opera songs! More party fotos here.

Thursday night was the big CSS show at Warsaw! Unfortunately, I missed Bonde Do Role:( I really wanted to see them perform live... Joanna and I got there right after CSS' first song and we pushed our way to the front and started to dance! They played all their songs except for Superafim, which I totally wanted to hear:/ They said they always play that song in Brazil and everyone goes nutz. Love Foxxx was jumping around on stage during the whole show. Stripping out of her clothes, stage diving, pulling her shorts down and mooning the crowd, and pulling her hair extentions out of her real hair, haha! Greg and Darin were standing by the very front and when Lets Make Love From Death From Above they got to sing into the mic:) So much fun!

After the concert Diplo spun some stuff...yawn. Sorry, but I was bored. Greg, Darin, and I went upstairs to the dressing room to hang out w/ the band. We drank wine and beer while talking about cameras, music, art, and learned a couple of words in Portuguese (I can't remember them now)! The band was so cute!

At about 1:30am I called it quits and went home to Manhattan. I was super tired and needed to get some sleep. No matter, this weekend I'm sure I'll be able to get more sleep:) Last night and the night before totally ruled and I've got the pics to prove it! More show fotos here.
