In this digital age of music sharing, copying, and outright thievery, it’s rare that you come across an unknown band with such raw, unbridled talent and well-constructed songs that are almost impossible to actually hear. There were few websites offering the tunes of Electric Guest, and only a handful of music bloggers and LA-based DJs were able to gush about the band’s sound after catching an unannounced weekday show at a random Southern California bar. This may be exactly the strategy that Electric Guest, or perhaps their management company Monotone Inc. (whose clients include the likes of Jack White, Vampire Weekend, The Shins, and Cold War Kids) was going for. You’d also discover, with a small bit of digging, their producer is Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse, which makes you even more excited to hear the other eight songs on their electro soul-pop debut album Mondo, due out at the end of April.

Going Away Party for Nathan & Jerri/Strange Bedfellows Viewing Party
My good friend Nathan, with whom I lived at two houses and talked about endless projects with over the past 12+ years is moving with his girlfriend Jerri to South Korea to teach English. Our loss, their gain.
Come out to Cous Cous next Sunday, February 19th at 7pm, and watch all 5 episodes of Strange Bedfellows Season 1, including the premiere of episodes 3, 4 & 5, the best thing I’ve ever done with him.
I’m so happy with how it’s all turned out, and working with everyone this year has been such a blast, but he will be missed around these parts. Best of luck to them both.
Reminder: Kyle Kinane is coming 3/15/12
(Heckling seriously discouraged). Tickets selling here.
