Apes & Androids @ 29 Wythe Ave., Brooklyn 10/31/07

So this is what Stereogum's Halloween looked like: A bunch of us dressed like Feist & The Indie Rock Choir (Feist like the video, choir like Letterman), went bowling at The Gutter, drank too much, shed a lot of sequins, and ended up at a big art space known simply as 29 Wythe Ave. for a big costume party/concert with arty rockers Apes & Androids. It looked a bit like this...




Glammy theatricality isn't exactly a rarity for A&A, but it was out first time with 'em so we wouldn't have known any better. Plus, they were decidedly zombified (as mentioned, everything looks a little better un-dead on Hallow's Eve).

Anybody else see a band dress for the occasion last night? Dan Deacon making good on his promise to be Captain Crunch, maybe?

I went to see what was billed as "The Spooks" at Lenny's in Atlanta, and it was the Black Lips, so that was pretty cool. The opening band, The Howlies (really great, by the way), wore little furry wolf caps, but they may always do that, given the name.

That apes an androids show was the toughest thing to get into ever...but for good reason! What a great band! Myopenbar.com should throw more parties like that. Also did stereogum see Totally Michael? I dunn who that kid is, but he needs some recognition!

Went and saw Cassettes Won't Listen at Union Hall last night who came out looking like he got his face sledge hammered, blood everywhere. David Cross was there dressed up like Tobias from Arrested Development in blue man group makeup and all!

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...

Premature Evaluation: Beck - Modern Guilt

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse. Since then, we've gotten a look at the old-school jazz/Blue Note-style cover art and...

Damien Jurado - "Murderer" (Low Cover)

After hearing "Gillian Was A Horse" from Damien Jurado's forthcoming Caught In The Trees, we contacted the Seattle singer-songwriter and asked if he'd want to premiere a track at Stereogum. Lucky for us (and you), it turned out he had...
