I first read about the Afghan Raiders on hot biscuits… and since then, they’ve definitely been a breath of fresh air. Their dirty bass and distorted/filtered vocals remind me of other electroclash artists like LCD Soundsystem and Ladytron. Here are some tracks they gave me the green light on… I’ll keep you bitches posted on […]
MGMT has seen a lot of radio play on our local Q101 radio program ‘Crash Test Radio’ since the winter. And now the Brooklyn based jungle/indie/rockers have a new video for their single ‘Electric Feel’. An excellent representation of the dirty and primal feel of the song. And yes, that is a cameo of the […]
Well fear not my fellow Chitown electrobots. Two unnecessary parties are in line for the next couple of nights. Starting things off Wednesday night at the Double Door, Urb Magazine presents the ‘Cool By Association Mixtape Release Party’. Apparantly there will be some ‘fresh noise’ from the likes of DJ Zebo, Murderbot and the Starters […]
After an incredible run in the US (3 shows in Chicago!), everyone’s favorite Italo Disco duo, The Bloody Beetroots. are headed for a much needed shindig thru Europe, most notably their first ever stop together in London. Kate Hutchinson recently did an interview for the electro blog Fried My Little Brain with the Beetroots, covering […]
These guys from France are absolute fire, and their myspace says US tour dates in June (double win!). I thought the Revolte remix of Daft Punk’s “Voyager” from earlier this year was nutz [and it is one of the best I’ve heard]… well the rest of their stuff is even better. Their track “Guess What” […]
Overthrill are a DJ duo from Germany (no exclusive info yet, just via myspace). Earlier this month, they contributed to one of No Love Lost Records mixtape compilations, and simply put, it’s epic. Over 80 tracks are mixed into 56 minutes of heavy bangin’ sounds. On top of that, their track “Revolver” is just as […]
I like to think that brothers watch out for each other. At least I like to think that I do for my little brother, and visa versa. Well my bro was watching out for my musical well being several months ago when he pointed me towards a band that slipped under my radar, Ratatat. I’ve […]
Taking a gander to the upper-rightish portion of the page here at soquitcherbitchen, you will notice a difference in appearance for our little countdown timer. At the time of this post, there are only 18 days until the release of one of the most epic fan vids of all time: The World Is Daft. A […]
I feel embarassed for having never heard of these guys until Kid Color used a Wham! vs Digitalism mashup on his Carded & DisCarded mixtape. But I’ve been living it up now, as The Avalanches are uber talented, and been having their debut album, Since I Left You, on repeat since I got it. 3500 […]
Minimalist experimental techno is an iffy topic for me. Everything has its time and place, and unfortunately, minimal doesn’t fit in my schedule very often. But while sitting here at work, bored as hell, with the same remidial tasks ahead of me, I dig it. I read about Pluxus first on Discobelle, with apparant good […]
