Flashback: Art Brut at Triple Rock (09 Nov 2009)

Oh man, how I love Art Brut. This isn’t really a band, it’s more like a weird art-rock with singer Eddie Argo “singing” or talking over music. Argo writes the best songs, like “Formed a Band”, which tells the secret origin of him forming a band: “Formed a band, we formed a band! Look at us, we formed a band! … And yes, this is my singing voice, it's not irony, it's not rock and roll. We’re just talking to the kids.”

Best of the Fest: Minnesota Yacht Club and Pitchfork

No surprises here, but Minnesota Yacht Club Festival (MYC) returns to Minnesota. Presale (lowest priced-tickets) will be made available today, January 30 at 10am. Public on-sale to follow if tickets remain. If you want to go, I suggest getting a ticket now, because it’s likely to sell out, like last year.
