sept & august shows...

damn, kids! next couple months is looking bu-sy! no mixes this time around, just reading... (sigh.)

First up we've got !!! on August 31 at Richards on Richards. Bit more Brooklyn rock than electro but check the Hot Chip remix of Must be the Moon, a brilliant cut that loved the remix even if it didn't entirely need one... I've got the original buried in that first mix I posted a couple weeks back, check it out if you haven't already... tickets at Zulu, Scratch, Red Cat, Highlife - all the usual suspects (ticketmaster too, but fuck them...)

September really picks up so be forewarned...

Battles starts it off Sept2 at Richards. They're signed to Warp Records, I think that says a lot (So's !!!, btw). I dunno that you'd really call these guys electro at all. But man they're fuckin brilliant. Maybe not for everyone, but that's probably part of their charm, yeah? Tickets at Zulu, Scratch, Red Cat, Highlife - all the usual suspects

Then it's The Jaun Maclean on Sept9 at Richards again. Some of the hottest house production out there right now & they're supposed to play a killer live set. They're signed to DFA (LCD Soundsystem & Hercules & Love Affair, anyone?) so you know what kind of quality you're getting. If you want to dance this is NOT one to be missed... tickets same as above...

Goldfrapp's playing the Commodore on Sept16 but I think that's already sold out so if you didn't get tickets yet you might be SOL on that front. Imagine a British M83 with more lyrics (but maybe not quite as good - Happiness is a great song, tho). Guess there's always the scalpers out front or a long wait hoping some extra tickets get released just before they start their set... Tix at all the usuals, just in case...

Obviously, the best of the month's gonna be CSS on Sept17 at the Commodore. If you haven't heard these guys go to MySpace right now! Tilly & The Wall opens & I've heard rumors that the show's already sold out so if you don't have tickets yet you'd better get some now. (Right now, I mean it! Stop reading this & go buy tickets!) The official after-party's at Republic where CSS'll be doing a DJ set till 3. Grab a CSS minimix here to get a taste of what you'll be missing if you don't get shopping right f#&*ing now...

that's gotta be enough for now. blog posts are usually only 3 lines long... mr_
