EBONY BONES PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS

Check out this interview that PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS did recently with the incredible and more importantly, the interesting EBONY BONES while she was in LA. I think she's holding Kelsea's cat in this session. In a world of lo-fi, I barely try cause I'm so cool, I love it when you find a true freak that comes from somewhere rather than just chasing the tail. Ebony is the real deal.

TONIGHT @ SOUTHPAW - EBONY BONES PLAYS THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN

New York, We love you!

Our Valentine's Eve gift to you is a show of epic and cosmic love proportions. This month THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN has put together a show worthy of some cuddle-time.

Headlining and arriving from London via Planet Love-tron, it's EBONY BONES.

"I am Cleopatra reincarnated, in search of KFC."- Ebony Bones

Trace a line from Parliment to Bootsy to Digital Underground to Grace Jones and the next one in line is London's EBONY BONES.

JESSICA 6, which boasts members of HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR, will also make sure the level of freakish love is turned up to 10 and openers, MONOGOLD, an act we can't stop playing on the Future Sounds WOXY radio show, will show everyone why this is a band to watch in 2010.

The Rumble: Brooklyn is brought to you by Future Sounds, The Musebox, Defalco Presents, WOXY, Stranded In Stereo, Sound Fix Records and Spin Earth.

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: EBONY BONES @ THE ECHO - RUMBLE BROOKLYN

Please take a look at this picture - THIS is the kind of freaky you will get if you go to tonight's show at The Echo and what will also be sitting in our little Kelsea's living room later this evening.

“I am Cleopatra reincarnated, in search of KFC.”- Ebony Bones

Trace a line from Parliment to Bootsy to Digital Underground to Grace Jones and the next one in line is London's EBONY BONES.


If all this gum-flappin' isn't enough to convince you to go out in this nasty rain to see a show, get a load of this video

We're even more excited that Ebony Bones will be playing next week's RUMBLE: BROOKLYN party at Southpaw with JESSICA 6 and MONOGOLD on February 11th. That's a line-up that translates to a line-up around the block to get in.

FUTURE SOUNDS RADIO DEBUTS 1.25.10

More information on bands that debuted this week on the FUTURE SOUNDS radio show on WOXY....

WORLD'S GREATEST GHOSTS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Portland, OR
TRACK: Phantastes

Thanks to the 3 Imaginary Girls folks for tipping us off on this band, someone doing well in the Pacific NW, but should in 2010 spook everyone with perfect indie rock. (Lucky Madison Records)

TV TORSO

WEB SITE
HOMETOWN: Austin
TRACK: The Days Of Being Wild

No stranger to WOXY, but new to FS, the band has already teamed up with our WOXY family for a show together and they'll be headlining the inaugural RUMBLE: AUSTIN party on February 11th at Beerland. Unsigned

VANAPRASTA
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles
TRACK: Color Of Sin

Silverlake's VANAPRASTA sent us over the short-but-sweet EP called 'Forming The Shapes' and we were hooked. Big harmonies, finger snaps, music ready for some great film and TV placements We need to see this one live, soon. Unsigned

GOLDHAWKS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: London
TRACK: 1996

Another act that is appearing on a lot of 'Ones to Watch in 2010' lists, London's GOLDHAWKS have that Brit sound that is oh-so English, but will it translate stateside? I hope so, I want to see these kids live. Unsigned

CLOUD CONTROL
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Sydney, Australia
TRACK: Gold Canary

Indie folk is everywhere and here's Sydney's answer to Fleet Foxes with CLOUD CONTROL, although these kids are strumming to their own folkie-roots. Many are watching this band for a 2010 run at the hype machine. (Ivy League Records)

SUPER EXTRA BONUS PARTY
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Kildare, Ireland
TRACK: Comets (Ft. Heathers)

I just missed this indie-electro act when I was in Dublin for the Hard Working Class Heroes Festival and now I'm regretting it, this has something super extra to it. This particular track features the ladies of HEATHERS, a FS favorite as well. Unsigned

DIRTY DANCING
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Austin, TX
TRACK: Black Blood

This is some dark music, think Tom Waits meets The Bad Seeds. Austin's DIRTY DANCING will be playing our first ever RUMBLE: AUSTIN party @ Beerland in February. Blood is the new black....Unsigned

REGRETS & BRUNETTES
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Fullerton, CA
TRACK: Uh-Oh

We don't only love this band because they hail from the same fine city as our FS family members Brock and Veronica (Fullerton), but because this track, "Uh-Oh" made an instant impact. Not sure how it didn't make it in THE HOT 5, probably because it just arrived. Unsigned

EBONY BONES
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: London, Outer Space
TRACK: We Know All About You

If Parliament's George Clinton had a baby girl and Grace Jones was the mother, EBONY BONES would that love child. It's a debut for FS radio, but we've been playing her since April 2008 on our Little Radio show and are thrilled that she'll be headlining February's THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN @ Southpaw with MNDR. This one is wild, wild, wild!

SAVOIR ADORE
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Brooklyn
TRACK: We Talk Like Machines

Sometimes the demos and promo disc pile on the desk can be intimidating, and this band was on my 'must listen to' stack a few times and somehow never registered, so we're late on this Brooklyn four-piece, but right on time in my book. Their full-length, 'In The Wooded Forest' is superb. (Cantora Records)

WHAT LAURA SAYS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Tempe, Arizona
TRACK: Training

Tempe, Arizona? Isn't that Gin Blossoms territory? I thought the Long Wong's was closed?? This former duo has grown into a five-piece and has grown into a lush sound that is far from ordinary or even what everyone else is doing. (Terpsikhore Records)

GAVIN GUSS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Seattle
TRACK: Lifeboat

Seattle's GAVIN GUSS is no rookie, he's been kicking around a bit, playing with the likes of Nada Surf, Jon Auer, Harvey Danger, Fountains of Wayne and fronting his own bands, but now drops his first solo record ~ 'Mercury Mine' (Obsolete Media)

*Bold denotes FS radio debut

TONIGHT ~ THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN @ SOUTHPAW

Tonight @ Southpaw, Future Sounds, The Musebox, Sound Fix Records and DeFalco Presents bring you THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN. The line-up is stellar.....

Sounding like a Tarantino film in stereo, BLACK TAXI seduces with the seediness of a pulp fiction novel; a decaying sideshow that's as sexy as it is punk rock. Lyrics paint woozy pictures of Kerouac-ian misadventures, featuring a rotating cast of transvestites, bible-thumpers and corrupt cops. A cavalier concoction of carnival trumpets, swaggering bass lines and smoldering guitar, BLACK TAXI plays like a vintage spaghetti western dressed up in neon lights...the soundtrack to that desert road trip you should have taken back when your girl dumped you and you chanced upon her acid cache. Check out recent review of new LP Things of Nature

Also joining the bill will be THE ART OF SHOOTING. We can't wait...especially to hear the new tunes from Traveling Show. Traveling Show was produced by Keith Souza at Machines with Magnets Studios in Pawtucket, RI, home to the recording of the newest Battles album, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Chinese Stars, Made in Mexico, and many many more. Infectious and driving, the simplicity of the songs and styling are what make The Art Of Shooting one of the most interesting bands on the Brooklyn scene right now. Aggressive, dissonant lullabies mixed with a hint of Detroit Rock City, Southern Swing, and Circus flair. Singer/songwriter/guitarist Kelly Irene Corson growls, shrieks, and hums her way through the set with a vibrato and falsetto vocally consistent with Siouxsie Sioux and Kristen Hersh, but energetically matched with David Byrne.

"These dynamic tuned, jerky rhythmed, acerbic tongued, goth tinged, two girl/one boy Brooklyn art punks might've fit right in on Rough Trade in 1980, or opening for Siouxsie a few years later." - Village Voice

"Eerie, unearthly melodies promise to haunt your dreams."- CMJ

"Full-scale girl-led power-trio with a no-wave influenced assault in the vein of luminaries such as ERASE ERRATA and their early '80s ancestors... Singer/guitarist KELLY CORSON can go from a whisper to a scream at a moment's notice." - The Big Takeover

BOCAT (formerly Case Quarter) were brought together during a card game on a New York street corner. All four members found themselves pitched in to the pot as antes. Two were new to New York and two had been bouncing from pocket to cash register and vending machines around the city for years. As the card players placed bets around them, more and more money was dropped on them from above until they were completely covered from view by green dollar bills. To pass the time one quarter, a 1976 bicentennial, started playing a beat on his military drum. The next, a 2000 South Carolina quarter, yelled "You lie!" The other two quarters saw the humor in this remark and asked him to say it again but this time to sing it in rhythm to the drum beat. On the second time he sang "You lie!" the two other quarters, a shiny 2000 Virginia Quadricentennial and a 2001 New York Statue of Liberty sang in harmony. Each of the four quarters immediately had a tiny light bulb appear over their George Washington profiles and quickly hatched a plan. It was decided that when the winner picked up the pile of money, the four quarters were to jump as far as they could and hopefully land on a roll for the nearest drain hole. However, the winners hands were sure and quite large. The plans for escape were ended as the four quarters found themselves dropped into a dark pocket making music as they crashed against each other. The bicentennial drummer remarked, "Look on the bright side. It provides us with a great place to rehearse." They just had to find a way to stay together... and, oh yeah, we decided to rename ourselves BOCAT. To be continued!

WE ARE VERY PROUD TO ANNOUNCE...PLAYING THE NEXT RUMBLE ON FEBRUARY 13TH@SOUTHPAW, AN ARTIST WHOSE MUSIC AND STAGE SHOW HAS BEEN WOWING AUDIENCES EVERYWHERE! THIS ONE IS GONNA BE NUTS!!!

"Perhaps The Most chattered about act right now, the EBONY BONES! live experience is one part punk rock show, one part Mardi Gras carnival parade...with a truly wild wardrobe, a rocking band, and a raw sound EBONY BONES! is definitely someone to keep an eye on…” – Entertainment Weekly (US)
