Hot Damn Jamz 36: Now with 75% Less Controversy
November 27th, 2009 | 12:00 pm est |
This week, we celebrate Thanksgiving here in America, and we’d like to give thanks to everyone who reads the Jamz every week. We do this for you and hopefully you’ve all found some decent groups throughout the year. We’ll be rounding up our faves in a couple weeks and there are still two spots open for the Reader’s Choice HDJs, which will be coming up soon. Until then, hold on tight because we’ve got another rip-roaring, good time jams for y’all this week. No turkeys in sight! Get it? Turkeys….Thanksgiving…..ha ha ha…whatever…
Zambri
The Zambri sisters concoct a bewitching brew of post-punk and funky pop on songs like “Bang for Changes” and “Easier.”
Babe Rainbow
This Vancouver producer’s dreamy take on dubstep shows that not all of the style’s best artists are from the U.K.
Pierced Arrows
Raw rock trio featuring weathered Portland underground legends Fred and Toody Cole of Dead Moon.
the dø
This cute and plucky French pop duo dø it tø it.
White Shit
Members of Melvins, Big Business, and Skull Kontrol take it back to the early days of hardcore and give the finger to Myspace.
The Blackest Knights of the Darkest Apocalypse.
If you want to wage a “rock off,” challenge these heavy rockers from TallaTHRASHee, Florida — they claim that demon code prevents them from declining the offer.
Happy Family.
Sunshine-pop indie surf electronics from the coast of Baltimore.
Grass Widow
This San Francisco group sounds like they could be from an alternate dimension where someone gave The Slumber Party a B-12 shot.
The Blanche Hudson Weekend
Caroline and Darren of the Manhattan Love Suicides have regrouped and formed a band with all the blistering noise and sugar sweet songcraft that the MLS had. The three songs they’ve just recently posted have us clamoring for an album!
Madrid
This duo from Canada are a couple of dance rock dreamers who creating shimmering soundscapes, throw them on top of wobbling beats, and croon along like a couple of melancholy schoolboys. it’s some of the twee-est dance music you’ll ever hear and we love it!
