More Live Videos...

Here's a video of The Cult performing "Embers"...



And a video of Peter Bernhard from Devil Makes Three performing "Heaven".

New Cake

So Cake premiered a new song called "Sick of You" on Conan the other night. The song is actually pretty great...and I'm not even a big Cake fan. And I kinda love the "Daytripper" inspired guitar riff.

Girl in Coma and Under Covers

Girl in a Coma - a trio of girls hailing from San Antonio are surfacing with a couple of cover song projects. Signed to Joan Jett's Blackheart Records, Girl in a Coma contributed their somewhat haunting version of Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas" to the label's holiday compilation A Blackheart Christmas (which features The Vacancies and of course, Joan Jett).

For a download of Girl in a Coma's rendition of "Blue Christmas" click here.

In other Girl in a Coma cover news, they have recently just released a full length of album of cover songs called Adventures in Coverland. Here the band takes on songs by artists as varied as Buffalo Springfield to Patsy Cline, and Joy Division to Selena.

Here's a video for Girl in a Coma's take on Patsy Cline's "Walkin' After Midnight"

Pas Chic Chic

Here is the latest release from Pas Chic Chic...an art rock supergroup that features members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Set Fire to Flames, and Fly Pan Am.

The new 12"/digital release features three new songs with all the lyrics written in French...“Allez Vous Faire Influencer”, “Premier Souffle”, and “Interlude”.

You can hear “Allez Vous Faire Influencer” here.

Little Dragon

Little Dragon is one of the most unique original groups out there right now - with a sound that infused melancholy pop, everything else, this group is positioned to be huge. And they were just the opening act on the most recent Gorillaz tour...need I say more? Validation and street cred has been effectively established.

Here's their video for "Blinking Pigs"
