TONIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO: LILOFEE WITH GROOVE ARMADA @ THE FILLMORE

For all of our SF friends not here in Austin, tonight you can cap off your work week by seeing LILOFEE tonight when they support GROOVE ARMADA @ The Fillmore. It's a big stage, lots of history, but we've heard they are pulling out all the stops for tonight's performance. Buy tickets here.

TONIGHT - THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO @ CAFE DU NORD

It's dubbed as the 'Noise Pop Hangover Party' for good reason, because everyone OD'd on great music over the course of last week and weekend with NP2010 at work, but going cold turkey is never a good idea, it's all about the easin' in........so we've provided your segue back into life after 5 bands a night - THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO.

Headlining the event is a band that since last year - when they supported DEERHUNTER at the Noise Pop opening night show - has grown into a five-piece and has evolved their live show into a true performance - LILOFEE. Kimi and Co. will bring their Knife-like beats and lights to The Rumble along with a band that made tracks all the way from Athens, Georgia - TWIN TIGERS. Forced to celebrate the release day of their record - 'Gray Waves' - from the road in Texas and New Mexico, en route to the Bay area, they'll be packing heat upon arrival. They roll in after having CD release parties in Athens and Atlanta before heading west to Rumble. Opening up is STRIPMALL ARCHITECTURE, a band we've only recently come to know, but now we realize we go back with them through members in HALOU, the super cool, downtempo-Massive Attack like unit, and a drummer we used to have drinks with all the time at Murio's Trophy Room. Our resident DJ, and our piece of the rock - DJ BAGEL TED - will handled the duties between bands, playing all the kind of tracks that has kept Bagel Radio nominated annually as one of the best online radio stations anywhere.

Another treat for your hangover is more hair of the dog - TRUMER PILS beer specials all night!

The party is FREE if you bother to RSVP here before 5pm -- http://sonicliving.com/rumble27

The Rumble: San Francisco is brought to you by Future Sounds, The Owl Mag, Bagel Radio, The Bay Bridged, Noise Pop, SF Bay Guardian, Mr Roboto Presents, Stranded In Stereo and Spin Earth.

THE RUMBLE WEST COAST DATES ANNOUNCED - TWIN TIGERS PLAY THROUGH

It seems that it was just yesterday we we're knee deep in Hologram Jams (out now on Fat Possum btw) from last month's RUMBLE band, the mighty JAGUAR LOVE. We had a terrific time with that circuit and seeing the room go wild each time the duo roared into office favorites "Postcards and Red Wine" or "I Started a Fire." The response to the JL love couldn't have been better and before I tell you about March info, I want to extend a HUGE thanks to anyone that came out to any of the dates, all our sponsors and all the venues! Let's move onto MARCH!

We have so many RUMBLE parties in March that we need to roll them out systematically all the way into our 4 Rumble parties at SXSW in Austin (including the Super Rumble night party).

It all starts though in Seattle on Monday night at the Havana Social Club with two quality SEA based acts: HAIR ENVELOPE & NIGHTMARE AIR. We've spun both of these bands heavily on the FS radio show on WOXY, from Hair Envelope's brilliant "Largo Lagos' to the spin-off act sporting 2 members of FILM SCHOOL - Nightmare Air. If you've heard 'Who Who Lies Who Down' you understand what force DD and crew puts into each track, and by the way, that is Mr Dupuis on vocals.

THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO next Wednesday has the subtitle of being the official 'Noise Pop Hangover Show', because NP2010 has taken over the Bay Area this week and weekend, and if you haven't had enough great music, we offer up this incredible line-up:

LILOFEE - TWIN TIGERS - STRIPMALL ARCHITECTURE

There is no way to hide our absolute LOVE for LILOFEE. We put out their 7" vinyl for the single, 'Runaway' at the end of 2009, and are set to drop their second single, 'Destroy Me' (+a video + a remix) on Future Sounds Records in March. Stay tuned for more info on that release.

STRIPMALL ARCHITECTURE we were just introduced to but after listening to the Myspace songs and vibing their influences, we're instant fans. Here's what the SF WEEKLY had to say:
"Does the mention of a band somewhere in-between Sigur Ros and the Cocteau Twins make those little hairs on the back of your neck tingle? If so, you owe it to yourself to check for Stripmall Architecture's show." Resident DJ, BAGEL TED, will handle the DJ duties.

That leads us to TWIN TIGERS from Athens, Georgia, a band that will be playing through the circuit starting in SF, into LA, San Diego, and will be playing THE RUMBLE: LAS VEGAS that will be a part of the NEON REVERB MUSIC FESTIVAL on the 12th. They will keep the wheels turning to Austin and will be playing THE RUMBLE @ SXSW at Shangra La, as well as 6 other parties (including the WOXY Official SXSW showcase @ Emo's Annex on Friday night).

Their debut record - 'Gray Waves' on Old Flame Records drops Tuesday, March 2nd and the album is a flamethrower. We're thrilled to include 'Passive Idol' on the upcoming Future Sounds 34 release. Here's what AQUARIUM DRUNKARD has to say about it: "A four piece, the bands live show kills, reminiscent of Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and Psychocandy era JAMC."

So Twin Tigers will hit Los Angeles for THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES @ 3 Clubs on Thursday and we all had good fortune smile upon us when RUMSPRINGA stepped forward to headline our party as they prep for SXSW. We've been fans for some time and finally got our opportunity to bring them into that 3 Clubs backroom where they will take it apart. Our lovely resident DJ's, S.i.S. are always present, and always bring their smiles and great selections.

Opening up LA, but headlining THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO is a band that we're freaked out about - BEATERS. This band heads out on tour as direct support to THE SOFT PACK post-SXSW, and we get to double-dip with them in both cities, in our effort to show swap San Diego and Los Angeles bands together. They had us from the first 30 seconds of "Fishage". TWIN TIGERS will continue their tear of the West Coast at Bar Pink on Saturday night, and a San Francisco act that is a Rumble veteran, BIRDS & BATTERIES, round out the bill in SD. We're big fans of their single, "The Villain" off their 'Up To No Good EP'.

We'll be announcing the line-up for THE RUMBLE:LAS VEGAS, which is the featured show at this year's NEON REVERB FESITVAL on Friday night, as well as all the details surrounding the four SXSW Rumble parties. THE RUMBLE: NEW YORK will also be announced next week - New venue, back in the big apple.

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES - LILOFEE RECORD RELEASE @ THE ECHO

FUTURE SOUNDS RECORDS teamed up with ORIGAMI VINYL to release the "Runaway" 7" vinyl by the San Francisco act, LILOFEE, and have come together for a record release party at The Echo tonight. There will be hand-numbered, limited-edition vinyl 7" for sale at the party, it's already sold out in San Francisco.

Joining Lilofee will be WAR TAPES, TWILIGHT SLEEP and ACID GIRLS, along with the Origami Vinyl DJ's throughout the night.

To listen to the single, "Runaway" - visit http://www.futuresounds.com/artists/lilofee/

Here's what the LA WEEKLY had to say about "Runaway"

The party is FREE to those over 21, $7 for the youngsters.

TONIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO: LILOFEE'S VINYL RELEASE PARTY WITH THE DONNAS

LILOFEE debuts their newly printed "Runaway" 7" vinyl (Future Sounds Records/Origami Vinyl) tonight for the SF record release party as main support for THE DONNAS at Slim's this evening in San Francisco.

Here's a look at Saturday's show at The Independent...

LILOFEE RELEASE 7" ON FUTURE SOUNDS RECORDS/ORIGAMI VINYL

Future Sounds Records and Origami Vinyl in Echo Park have teamed up to release a 7" record by LILOFEE for the single, "Runaway", with a B-side of "In Flight" today!

We're going to celebrate in two cities, the first being December 9th, when Lilofee supports THE DONNAS at Slim's, and then the follow up Origami/FS party at The Echo on December 16th. Origami will also host a pre-party at the record store to warm things up.

For a preview of the track, visit HERE

FUTURE SOUNDS RECORDS & ORIGAMI VINYL SET TO RELEASE LILOFEE 7" ON DEC 1ST

San Francisco based electro rock outfit, LILOFEE, are set to release a 7" with Echo Park's Origami Vinyl and Los Angeles based Future Sounds Records on December 1st. The 7" will feature the single, "Runaway" with a b-side, "In Flight".

Lead track, "Runaway" hums like Kim Wilde's "Kids In America" with a mix of Blondie's rapid-fire lyrics in "Rapture" that fits nicely next to contemporaries like Santogold or MIA. "In Flight" is a dreamy melancholy song of a girl who slowly turns into a bird and flies away, set to a musical backdrop of glitchy, radiating magic.

Two record release parties will take place around the launch of the "Runaway" vinyl, the first in San Francisco as Lilofee supports The Donnas at Slim's on December 9th and the second taking place in Los Angeles on December 16th at The Echo.

Lilofee's music is exactly like the dark German fairy tale it is named after, full of angst and love, dripping with affliction and laced with enchantment. Add to that a serious dance beat, a sprinkle of glitter and some remarkably catchy lyrics, and you have Lilofee.

The San Francisco duo, composed of Rob Easson and Kimi Recor, met through friends in 2007 and bonded over their mutual interest in dark pop, industrial music, and the Beatles. As Recor says, "the first time we played music together, we didn't leave the studio for 15 hours." The band has already shared the stage with Hercules & Love Affair, Sebastien Tellier, and opened for Deerhunter at this year's Noise Pop Music Festival in San Francisco.

As a live act, Lilofee transforms into a dynamic six piece, joined by drummer Dan Aquino, bassist Cyrus Etemad, guitarist Shea Roberts and keyboardist Chris Vick. Their collective musical experience comes through in their dramatic live performances and their dark, heavy sound has garnered comparison to bands such as Ladytron, Interpol and the Knife.

Lilofee's first full length - 'The Only Years' - will be released early in 2010.

A GLIMPSE OF THE NEW LILOFEE VIDEO FOR "DESTROY ME"

Here's just a sneak peak at what San Francisco's LILOFEE have been up to, as we take a look at a piece of the music video for "Destroy Me". The band are releasing a 7" vinyl single of "Runaway" on ORIGAMI VINYL and Future Sounds Records on December 1st, more on that to follow soon. The "Destroy Me" digital single release will come out with the BIGSTEREO contest winner remix as a b-side and 'Destroy Me' video on FSR in early January 2010.

SUM THE GREATER GIVES AWAY LILOFEE

Music blog, SUM THE GREATER, today created a LILOFEE widget that allows you to download the Lilofee single, "Lock & Key" for free!

VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM LILOFEE @ BLOW UP

Just got a bunch of links to videos from last Friday's LILOFEE performance at Club BLOW UP in San Francisco. Check out this one for "Runaway".

TONIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO: LILOFEE @ BLOW UP

Bay area friends, tonight at the Rickshaw Stop, the Blow Up party has LILOFEE and HOT TUB, along with Frisco Disco's RICHIE PANIC. We're nearing the end of the BIG STEREO-LILOFEE remix contest, so DJ's, if you're holding out on us, get those submissions in. The winning remix of "Destroy Me" will be released on Future Sounds Records digitally with the single and the video, as well as getting a copy of REASON RECORD and a Vestalife Ladybug.

LILOFEE REMIX CONTEST ON BIG STEREO
