Pepper Rabbit have announced that the psych-pop outfit will be supporting Ra Ra Riot on their upcoming West Coast tour.
The LA-duo released their first album, Beauregard in October on Kanine Records and have been on the road ever since. Along with a few Ra Ra Riot dates, post-SXSW Pepper Rabbit will be hitting the road with Miniature Tigers. The band also has some news regarding SXSW that they will be sharing in the near future.
The duo have also released a music video from their first album. It features floating instruments and moving paintings, and is excellent. You can see it right here:

Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers released an album yesterday called Teenage and Torture. It has been celebrated by both Spin and the Village Voice. Nick Cave of Grinderman called it “too f*cking good.”
To commemorate this event, Shilpa Ray (and Her Happy Hookers of course) will be playing a show at Brooklyn Bowl on January 21st. Also Featuring Soft Black and Shee Keeps Bees, you can score a ticket for $5.
The band has also released a video from the new album, featuring b-movie horror and a werewolf. You can check it out right here.
For most of us, LOLcats ran its course a couple of years ago. For Best Coast, the fun is just getting started!
In a new video for the song “Crazy for You” (off of their debut album) the band play in a studio run by loud, bossy kittens. They serve “Teaz” and “Coffeez” and there is liberal use of catnip.
You can watch the video below, brought to you by…I Can Has Cheezburger.
Though it sure seems that way, probably not everyone in Montreal is a member of an indie rock band, but it’s kind of fun to imagine an entire city of talented musicians, eh? Beloved residents, the Dears, have a new release due out February 15th, called Degeneration Street (Dangerbird Records) and a tour in support of the album.
The new album features the track, “Omega Dog,” which you can the brand new video for here.
News about An Island trickled into the blogosphere in small doses: in November 2010, Efterklang and Vincent Moon announced that they were working on a film together, to be premiered in February 2011; in December we were told that Efterklang will bring An Island with them on their 2011 European tour.
Now, Efterklang and Vincent Moon are welcoming all of their listeners and followers to host their own premiere screenings of An Island- people can sign up to host a screening, to be held between February 1st and March 31st.
Efterklang and Vincent Moon call these screenings Private-Public Screenings, and the rules are very simple:
• The screenings need to have free entrance.
• The screenings need to be public.
• The screenings need to have a minimum capacity of 5 people.
• The screenings need to be verified by Efterklang & Vincent Moon, and only screenings that are featured onwww.anisland.cc are official Private Public Screenings.
An Island is an unconventional mixture of performance film and abstract documentary- about both a band and an island. Last summer, French filmmaker Vincent Moon and Efterklang’s 8 piece-live band met up on an island off the Danish coast. The objective was to shoot a film: a film with the same length as an album, and a film full of performances, experiments, and collaborations. Over an intense period of 4 days, Efterklang collaborated with more than 200 local musicians, creating new performances and interpretations of songs from their album Magic Chairs- filmed in its entirety by Moon.
