Videos!

yep friday.

VIDEO: Public Enemy – Don’t Believe the Hype

Cold War Kids – Audience Of One (myspace/ buy it)
The Fucking Eagles – Gentlemen’s Blues (myspace/buy it)

so we’re kicking off the weekend with an unlikely variety. but why not, right?! after catching the legendary Chuck D, Professor Griff and DJ Johnny Juice of Public Enemy at the Viper Room last night, i feel like anything goes. and this video is all the CLASS you need to pick up what i’m puttin down.

so speaking of hype, how about that last Cold Ward Kids record.. eh? kind of makes you understand why this new EP came out so fast. or simply put, “Audience of One” does everything that “Something Is Not Right With Me” didn’t.

now, The Fucking Eagles are the type of band one could picture clawing the Cold War Kids to death if they ever crossed paths. off their latest LP Midnight Sour on Gaptooth Jukebox Records, they throw down some proper raw fucking rock and roll on “Gentlemen’s Blues”. The Fucking Eagles are a band that truly have no shame. seriously though. they really dont, check their myspace page. anybody who publishes hate mail as part of their press credits gets the nod from us…

“The Fucking Eagles are a spin off from Seaweed? Man, I didn’t know that. Seaweed treated me like dogshit on a project I worked on for them. It was a HORRIBLE experience. They actually left messages on my phone calling me names. Their production artist re-designed a cover I did for them and it turned out lousy. They wanted their money back. Their response was to blame me for their guy’s incompetence. I played that tape for friends for a long time as proof as my experience with them. Man, I didn’t know. I don’t think I’ll be bothering with the Fucking Eagles, now.” – Art Chantry, www.artchantry.com – 3/3/08

The Cribs live @ The Roxy Monday November 9, 2009

The Cribs – Last Year’s Snow
The Cribs – You’re Gonna Lose Us

The Cribs tore through a classic energy induced set at The Roxy this past Monday, with new fourth member, legendary guitarsmith Johnny Marr. and while he may be almost old enough to be their pops, the chemistry between marr and the other cribs was no less notable. sporting t-shits, leather biker jackets and early Richard Hell vs. current Kings of Leon butch haircuts, The Cribs wasted no time bashing out some brash gritty rock n roll.

the set was bold, unabashed. there was no banter between songs; aside from a request from Ryan Jarmen, that the lights be turned off in between songs (so the band could “look like rockstars”). and after their full-on feedback masterpiece of an ending to the set, there was no encore. and why should there have been? The Cribs had already put it all out front and on the table, the set being everything rock n roll and right fuckin classy. this was a classy fuckin’ show. fuckin’ class rock and roll.

kicking off on a high note with a new stomping anthem “We Were Aborted” from their latest release Ingnore the Ignorant, The Cribs then rolled straight into fan favorite and a somewhat ironic West LA theme on the night, “Hey Scenesters”. from there things soared, as the 4 piece performed a diversed set from their entire catalogue including favorites as “Men’s Needs,” “What About Me,” “Things Aren’t Gonna Change” and new favorites “Last Year’s Snow” and the single “We Share the Same Skies”. i found myself reflecting on a few things throughout this set:

1. these guys are fucking punk rock
2. this band belongs in clubs absolutely packed with 200 drunks spilling beer, slamming into each other, shouting at the stage and throwing their fists in the air..
3. Marr is a perfect addition, wayyy more appropriate than that Modest Mouse thing.
4. are those two really twins?
5. how do they keep doing that shit with their voice?!

In conclusion, The Cribs are the type of band that is imperfect in all the perfect ways. the groups fourth studio LP Ignore the Ignorant, released yesterday November 10th in the states, has shaped to be one of our favorites of the year. if you haven’t checked it out yet, then get familliar. also, stay tuned to b3science for an exclusive interview with the band..

Band Of Skulls – Friends

band-of-skulls

The Brothers Movement – Standing Still

the-brothers-movement2

“Standing Still” is the new single from the up and coming dublin, ireland band The Brothers Movement. their self-titled debut LP drops official early november, and from the sounds of it expect an effort that channels 90’s britpop ie. early verve and oasis but with the more contemporary indie spin of bands like LA’s black rebel motorcycle club. we’ll keep you posted, but for now dig on some pretty dec rock and roll..

New T.V. Series – V

in November ABC debut’s a new TV series titled V. cool and all, but somewhere along the line ABC must have passed on this guy (see below). don’t ask us why, he’s clearly the real GEM. and since we’re not sure if it can get more epic than this cat, the contest goes, who can go the longest watching this video before deciding he’s insane??? reptile aliens feeding on children seals the deal here. but most importantly, how come he got hooked up with the advance of V and we didn’t?! wtf.
