Wilco has done it once again. Are you surprised? We're not. If you're one of the few who haven't heard of or listened to Wilco this is a good album to start with. Fans that have been following Wilco since "AM" will be proud. Very proud. Whoever you are... Just listen to this new album that says... Rock and Roll is here.

TFE and Yards combine!

2011-09-26T17:08:00.000-07:00

This Thursday the 29th TFE and Yards are having an event at Roosevelt's Pub on 23rd and Walnut. It turns out that TFE and Yards have something in common. Yards has a seasonal Ale called "Cape Of Good Hope" and we released a song with the same title earlier this year. We were oblivious to each other until it was brought to our attention late this summer. We jumped on the opportunity, got in contact, and worked it out. Hopefully more will become of this coincidence in the future. For now... Come see us on Thursday to celebrate our similarity!

Studio Update

2010-11-06T09:20:00.000-07:00

We've been hard at work in MilkBoy studios for the past couple of weeks off and on. We've got rhythm, bass, guitar tracks pretty locked down on three tunes. Vocals are cut for one song and we need to cut two more. Keys and synth are pretty close to completion as well. Studio has its ups and downs and we seem to be experiencing them all. Soon enough we'll have new material for all of you to enjoy. Hang in there lovely people.

2010-10-11T18:47:00.002-07:00

Damon Albarn was the leader of a fiercely entertaining show last night at Camden’s’ Susquehanna Bank Center. The Gorillaz dominated the stage with presence rarely witnessed. Mick Jones pranced up and down on stage left with his Clash like confidence. Mick’s fellow bassist from the Clash “Paul Simonon” stood with his wide stance and booming bass notes on stage right. Two drummers played in sequence insuring the beat was felt deep in your chest. The brass section and strings soared high over the crowd through out the center. Snoop Dogg sat high above stage on the big screen while Mos Def, Bobby Womak, and Little Dragon made appearances through out the night.

The band played in sequence with the Gorillaz trademark animations. Frequently music would stop for a brief short including Gorillaz characters such as Murdoc and Noodle. Behind them stood tall letters spaced widely apart spelling GORILLAZ. The Letters flashed fluorescent colors all through the set. They could have had just the instruments up on stage and it would have been equally as phenomenal.

Damon said half way through the set “We didn’t expect this when we came to America.” The Crowd exploded in response. What we all should of said back was “We didn’t expect this when you came to America.” The Gorillaz reputation is high. Now it sits above the others. They blew us all away last night and will blow the rest of America away with us.

Spoon and Arcade Fire at The Mann

2010-08-03T12:47:00.000-07:00

Arcade Fires performance was filled with high energy, crowd interacting, mature but childish action mixed with good old fashion showmanship. Stage props consisted of a gigantic backdrop of an underpass and highway. Infront of the back drop was a tall standing billboard acting as a projection screen lined with blinding lights. All through the show a mix of live footage and pre filmed footage was shown. It was all we expected it to be.

Despite Arcade Fires amazing performance and stage props Spoon still came out on top dominating the stage with raw and powerful songwriting. The performance was Rock and Roll at it's best. Spoon's stage setup consisted of a large white curtain and small white screens with flashing lights behind. The drums and amps were lined with light bulbs.... Quite a difference from Arcade Fires elaborate setup. Spoon didn't need a thing other than instruments and a couple of mic's to get the point across. The point is: Spoon is one of the best bands in rock and roll. In our opinion they stole the night and inspired us in ways we couldn't imagine. Plus: We've never seen Spoon before. They are one of our top favorites. =)

When You are Engulfed in Flames

2010-08-02T09:17:00.000-07:00

Why does David Sedaris keep churning out unbelievably funny collections of stories? How does he get into so many hilarious, asinine situations, and somehow portray them in a way that makes himself and the reader learn more about life and love? You wouldn’t think telling a story about how a throat lozenge fell from his mouth and into the lap of another passenger on an airplane would accomplish this task.

Pigeon excrement! Would you rather be forced off stage by angry fans with beer bottles and rocks or by pigeons constant rain of.... Shit!? One of the show stopping birds had a direct hit when some landed in Jared Followill's mouth. KOL played Three songs ending in Taper jean Girl and walked off Stage. We wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Invisible Monsters

2010-06-21T09:49:00.000-07:00

This is one of Chuck Palahniuk's best novels to date (even though it came out eleven years ago.) Comically dark, wryly witty, and seriously sardonic, it centers around a former beauty queen who had it all- a boyfriend, a career, and a best friend- that is until a car accident permanently scars her face. A newly 'invisible monster', hardly anyone realizes she exists. She goes on adventures and searches her soul to realize that she may have to lose everything to start her life anew. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Invisible-Monsters/Chuck-Palahniuk/e/9780393319293/?itm=1&USRI=invisible+monsters
