New Brunswick, NJ-based punk rockers Screaming Females have announced three initial shows for 2011. Dates are listed as follows:
1/14 – Chicago, IL – Lincoln Hall/Tomorrow Never Knows Festival
1/17 – Los Angeles, CA – Echoplex
2/12 – Brooklyn, NY – Music Hall of Williamsburg
The band has also released a new song called “Wild” that can be found on the September 2010 LP release Castle Talk.
On December 9th Perfume Genius released its new video for the single “Lookout, Lookout.” The video was directed by Patrick Sher also directed the video for MOBY’s “Wait for Me.” If you haven’t seen this video by now I would suggest making it a top priority on your to-do list. It’s a very simple and realistic video but it definitely puts of the vibe of the complex emotions poured into the track. You really can get a grasp of the song through the video. I’m a firm believer in not allowing a Video to impact the actual music to any measure of extent but this one just spoke to all my insecurities, and I found myself responding to it more with the imagery, than without it.
UK boy-girl duo Slow Club has announced they’ll be releasing a Christmas EP titled Christmas, Thanks For Nothing in North America on December 14th. The folk rock group are currently working on their full-length follow up record to be released in the Spring of 2011. Video for “Christmas TV” is available below.

Tokyo Police Club have premiered a new remix of the Champ album track, “Favourite Colour” by Brooklyn-based DJs PUNCHES, now available for downloading on RCRDLBL.com . PUNCHES is the Brooklyn-based disco project of twin brothers Greg and Darin Bresnitz-who can be found tearing up the dance floor as DJ duo Finger on the Pulse and nightlife pioneer Alan Astor. After iterating the original track’s piano lick, PUNCHES takes over with heavy beats and synth, adding even more energy to TPC’s material.
Tokyo Police Club just announced additional dates to their Winter tour, kicking off January 13 in Ottawa, and taking them through their native Canada and most of the U.S. by mid-February. Also, Champ just made Myspace.com’s “Year In Music”, landing at #31 – “In the end, this is TPC’s most “mature” effort, but the fact that they managed to create it without losing their sense of youth or spirit is what makes it such a rare, unlikely joy.”

2/10/11 – Covington, KY @ The Mad Hatter
