London based band, the dead pirates, have surfaced an EP of the kind of Rock n’ Roll that is sorely missing from today scene of bloops & beeps. Formed by the visual artist McBess & his brother Ben, this 5-piece group is rekindling the flame of stoner rock & good ole rhythm & blues. The FAT EP leads in with a driving beat & a barrage of steady eighth note guitar assaults on “the fingers dance” before diving into the 2 part “Roadtrim” suite that is full of stomping, burning riffs & Rhodes piano melancholy that slow builds to an angsty climax.
Pick up the FAT EP on their site, thedeadpirates.com.
And check some of McBess’ artwork here.

I just did a new mix for a lovely site called Mixtape Club. This is called “Welcome to the Space Satellite Hotel”. This is about FUTURE. DISCO & HAZARD.
Hope you’ll like it. You can listen to it here : http://www.themixtapeclub.org/028/028_09.php
The french Duo Jul & Mat (So Lab Pictures) just signed the latest Metronomy (Because) music video “She wants” from their upcoming album release “The English Riviera”. Pretty cool.
Soulwax’s new track live hd video
This has turned to be just like Christmas, something we do everywhere : attending a radio soulwax show. London’s one is definitely a good one (despite a calm thursday crowd), the venue is clearly better than the one in Paris. But this year I saw that Porto is standing out with a superb venue. Try to make it for next year. 
Each year the band plays a bunch of new track, here is one of them, followed by the nite version of Miserable girl. I’ll add the track’s name in the post when I’ll speak to Steve S.
