We’re going to be M.I.A. for the next few days during CMJ.
(Hopefully) we’ll have show reviews and photos coming in a good amount of the week. Otherwise hold tight and they’ll be up next week. We will be running around the festival day and night, so if you see us say hi. We have postcards, buttons and all kinds of fun stuff.
We will also be live tweeting at www.twitter.com/modernmystery
Also check out our CMJ After Party on Sunday!
UK electronic group Mirrors have their first full-length coming out very very soon. Titled Lights & Offerings, the band hopes to get it to your ears sometime in February.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, the group has released its first music video from the album.
The track is called “Hide and Seek” and the music video is the stuff of nightmares. Featuring two legless clay figures that reanimate and stare at each other in the flickering glow of a TV screen, it’s disconcerting to say the least.
Just watch the video for yourself, but be careful. These things will haunt you.

Shilpa Ray And Her Happy Hookers of Nick Cave and The New Yorker acclaim are set to emerge with a new album, Teenage and Torture on January 18, 2011 via Knitting Factory Records. Shilpa Ray’s debut record A Fish Hook, An Open Eye garnered critical praise for its strident, female-fronted version of rock and roll.
The first single, “Venus Shaver” (available here) is our first taste of what’s to come with its sturdy deadpan vocals and rousing instrumentals.
Shilpa Ray And Her Happy Hookers have a few New York dates planned for 2010 to showcase new material:
CMJ Distiller Showcase @ Knitting Factory, Brooklyn-October 22, 2010
CMJ Windish Showcase @ Arlene’s Grocery, NYC-October 23, 2010
Shilpa Ray And Her Happy Hookers w/ Hooray for Earth, Arpline, Zambri @ Pianos, NYC-November 3, 2010
