Yelle The Interview

I was lucky to have the pleasure to meet and interview Yelle (Julie) herself! Watch and learn a little more about where the music you love comes from, the inspiration for Safari Disco Club and Yelle’s big gay fan base. Thanks again to TheNewGay and of course the amazingly lovely Julie.

Yelle – Safari Disco Club / Que veux-tu (exclusive full length edit)

I have been hugely delinquent on posting in general, even more delinquent in sharing the absolute amazingness that is the new Yelle LP Safari Disco Club.  Delightfully quirky, perfectly French and completely addictive.

Did I mention that Yelle is in D.C. tonight? They are taking over the 930 Club along with the French Horn Rebellion. Tickets are surprisingly still available and trust me this is a show that should not be missed! I for one cannot wait to see them live again.

If my overly positive words and the video above aren’t enough, then take a listen to a few more tracks below. I then dare you to resist the urge to get yourself  a ticket and come join the party tonight at 930 Club.

SIREN: ROBYN RIOT!

So it seems all Gaga is about to break has broken loose today on the interwebs, but what’s a little Gaga when you can have an entire Robyn Riot?!!

The man behind SHIFT is bringing a night FILLED to the brim with his favorite lady of music, Robyn. DJ MAJR will be running the show after midnight upstairs – filling your ears with all the best sirens of electro-pop. C&B’s very own DJ Donna (you may know him better as Josh) will be running the show downstairs. With Robyn videos, music and general amazingness provided lovingly by the C&B team. SHIFT and Coffeeandbars coming together mix up something amazing for your Friday night.

If you can’t wait to imbibe and don’t want to be dancing on your own, head over to Nellies before 10 for a bit a pregame and see your favorite sirens on the big TV screens, along with yours truly.

Enjoy the DJ MAJR edit of Robyn’s newest single ‘Call Your Girlfriend’ and get ready for the RIOT.

Oh Land – Sun of a Gun

I know I posted about Oh Land just a few ago, but since then I have become obsessed. Finding myself playing her as I get ready in the morning and to wind down before bed nearly every night. I am heading to 930 Club tonight to see her open for electro icons OMD. This gloomy work day cannot come to pass soon enough! Oh….and tickets are still available, so if you need something to do tonight, grab a ticket and head to 930.

Zowie – Love Demolition

Zowie is back with more music, and a few US live shows. Fresh off making quite the splash in her native New Zealand, the 22 year-old Auckland native is visiting the US to promote herself and her new music.  Zowie teased us with a snippet of ‘Love Demolition’ her sexy, dark, electro-rock sound, but now we get it all and so much more.

Zowie has come state-side, and has planned a few gigs while she is here. She kicked off her US stint with a show in LA last week, and has a busy week on the east coast in New York City. She will be playing Wednesday at the Nicky Digital CMJ Showcase at ELLA LOUNGE. She will be starting the weekend early and playing at the iconic gay bar Splash, on a stage that has seen its fair share of pop superstars and divas of all kinds! Not to worry if you can’t make it out on a school night, she will be kicking off the weekend at CMJ Official Showcase at Fat Baby on Friday night. This is going to be quite the music packed weekend!

Penguin Prison – Something I’m Not (Video)

As a filmmaker I find this video really intriguing as incorporates video from Skype chats and other innovative, yet simple, techniques to create a really cool music video. This week is the perfect time to dig up this great bit of video from Penguin Prison as he will be visiting DC for a show this week.  Penguin Prison has been touring the US supporting Two Door Cinema Club before heading off to the UK. The tour brings both acts to DC this Friday at the Black Cat. If you are in town you should definitely find a way to make it to what will no doubt be a great show. If you are in NYC start the weekend a bit early, as I fully intend to do, and see him at Webster Hall on Thursday night.

The Cataracs – Club Love

So I have had a small jonesing for the guys of The Cataracs since the winter of 09, in doldrums of this past winter they were burst of musical fresh air. Completely different from the electro-pop I was surrounding myself with at the time, and a bit before I was regularly sharing here at C&B. So now with the rise of Far East Movement, who feature The Cataracs, to a #10 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, I was reminded about this song ALL over again.

I am DJing over the weekend at Cobalt for SHIFT, with our good friend and guest blogger DJ MAJR. I have run of the entire first floor all night long, and most likely the bar itself. (should be fun kids!) With that much time to play my hearts desire, I plan to take the music on a few musical tangents, one of which (along with many others) being the sound coming out of LA and the nether regions of England (Frankmusik and his KillPop records). So if you are looking for a good time Saturday night head over to Cobalt for SHIFT and some great music all night long down and upstairs.
