Menomena, Throw Me The Statue Added To Huey Lewis Compilation

This year we've seen Huey Lewis jump aboard Pineapple Express, help Jimmy celebrate fucking Ben, and get his tunes covered by the likes of Apostle Of Hustle and Oh No! Oh My! for the Are You Still With Me?! comp....  CONTINUE READING MENOMENA, THROW ME THE STATUE ADDED TO HUEY LEWIS COMPILATION»

New Menomena - "Weird (Dekoder Remix)"

Last we saw Menomena, they were dropping flowers into the ol' nectar factory for the trippy IMAX-on-crack "Evil Bee" video. Now you can head over to the Portland trio's MySpace to hear the boys break out of 4/4 for a...  CONTINUE READING NEW MENOMENA - "WEIRD (DEKODER REMIX)"»

New Menomena Video - "Evil Bee"

It's never been a better time to be a fan of footwear and indie rock. Rockers are constantly announcing their own lines of shoes, Adidas is curating comps of free and original futbol jamz, etc. The PF Flyers line in...  CONTINUE READING NEW MENOMENA VIDEO - "EVIL BEE"»

Pitchfork Music Festival 2007 [Sunday; 7/15] Rating: 6.2

Wouldn't be a series of Pitchfork scores without at least one bearing little-to-no relation to the verbiage that followed, right? Well, day last of this year's P4K party in Union Park was another fine one, bringing two more mind-bending...  CONTINUE READING PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2007 [SUNDAY; 7/15] RATING: 6.2»

Menomena In A Basement

Been a while since we've heard from Stereogum crush Menomena, but that doesn't mean we don't think about them longingly on nostalgic walks in the park or stare longingly at the image of their album art. The Portland trio recently...  CONTINUE READING MENOMENA IN A BASEMENT»

SXSW: Friday In Austin

Despite the excellent lineups all over town, our daylight hours on Friday had been spoken for well before we made the trek to SouthBy (and particularly after spending Thursday systematically missing a bunch of the acts we'd hoped to...  CONTINUE READING SXSW: FRIDAY IN AUSTIN»

New Menomena Video - "Wet And Rusting"

The first vid from Friend And Foe is just as cheeky as you'd expect from a band that named their first album I Am The Fun Blame Monster!, an anagram of ("The First Menomena Album!"), but credit director Lance Bangs...  CONTINUE READING NEW MENOMENA VIDEO - "WET AND RUSTING"»

Menomena's Musical Heroes

Still not sick of Friend And Foe? Same here! If there's one complaint we hear, it's that the band wears its influences on its sleeve (doesn't bother us). So after poring over the album, it makes sense that Brent and...  CONTINUE READING MENOMENA'S MUSICAL HEROES»

Menomena Rehearses The Choir

Last night, Menomena sent their fans a little morsel of the choral wonder that awaits those attending the band's (superb) album release show at Portland's Crystal Ballroom 1/28. They'll be accompanied by the 25-member Portland Chapter of the Menomena Choir,...  CONTINUE READING MENOMENA REHEARSES THE CHOIR»

New Menomena - Friend And Foe

We've made no secret of our Menomena love, but Friend And Foe is even better than we expected. The record's got a perfect mix of experimental passages and hook-worth melodies, with the trio's nasty instrumental arrangements and consistently explosive writing....  CONTINUE READING NEW MENOMENA - FRIEND AND FOE»

Stereogum Hearts Menomena

Just a few months 'til the release of this Stereogum-fave's third full-length album, and we're frothy for it. It'll be Menomena's first on Barsuk and a welcome return to singing, as sophomore release Under An Hour was really just an...  CONTINUE READING STEREOGUM HEARTS MENOMENA»

OldStand: Rolling Stone, November 11, 1993

Take our ink-stained hands and join us at the OldStand, where Jon McMillan goes to remind everyone what an honest-to-goodness music magazine is supposed to look like. The late, lamented, Hoon-led Blind Melon shows up on the cover of RS...
