Release: Drink Up Buttercup release "Farewell Captain/Sosey and Dosey" Single

Posted by Creep On March - 31 - 2009

Trash-can bangin' Philadelphia pop-quartet, Drink Up Buttercup are set to release their first single with Brooklyn label, Kanine Records. Barely a year old, Drink Up Buttercup has grown from humble roots, originally rehearsing in a Buck's County, PA barn. Kicked out for unsettling the horses, these four pop-monsters have developed a jangling, ramshackle sound that has people dancing in the aisles on both sides of the pond—they were recently featured in New York's version of KidRockers.

After Releasing Chunk of Change to rave reviews last year, Boston natives Passion Pit are back with one of the most anticipated new albums of this young year. Sadly, much of the new album—out on Frenchkiss Records May 19th—has already been leaked and is available all over the internerd, (read: blogosphere). But for those of you willing to pay—and I know that's all of you, because we all need to make a living—if you pre-order Manners from Newbury Comics in these last few days before it drops, they'll include a limited autographed booklet. Now, it may not be gold and diamonds, or even a t-shirt, but it's still something fun.

A very good friend of ours recently holed himself away in his Bushwick apartment for most of the later winter after his former project, The Siberians, parted ways in search of greener pastures. Little did we know that Dustin Payseur was piling hook upon gorgeous hook in preparation for a massive release of new material—outside of the other two projects he had already set to simmer at the end of last fall. Pitchfork recently gave the first single, "Daydream", a 6—perhaps, only a cautious starting point from which to climb?

Release: Dinosaur Jr. set to release Farm on June 23rd.

Posted by Creep On May - 3 - 2009

Living through the '90s was an emotional roller-coaster for us, watching Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, and Shannon Hoon break down the walls of pop music only to see their personal demons unravel them again. Albeit less dramatic, it was sad to Dinosaur Jr. come apart at the seams in late 1997. You can imagine our excitement when Dinosaur Jr. resurfaced again in 2005, despite only containing one of the original members, lead guitarist J. Mascis. They're hitting the road this summer to support their brand new full-lenght, Farm, out June 23rd on Jagjaguwar. Check the first single, "I Want You To Know".

Check out Scott Campbell's solo show from the good people at Oh Wow. Some of you might know Scott as the owner of Saved Tattoo, or you may have never heard of him. Either way, his work is amazing and he's collected quite a stable of other tattoo artists at Saved whose work is undeniably impressive.

Here's the info on the show from Oh Wow:


Scott Campbell
Make It Rain
April 11 - May 9, 2009
3100 NW 7 Avenue / Miami / Florida / 33127


In what will be his first major solo presentation of his works, Campbell will showcase his unique aesthetic via sculptures, paintings, drawings and photography.

Scott Campbell was born and raised in a fishing camp, perched alongside a muddy bayou in rural Louisiana. With a clever knack for drawing and a fondness of stories, he began his career by doing illustration and assistant editing. Curiosity soon led him to experiment with tattooing and his immediate mastery of the art was undeniable. After a subsequent 18 month stint in Spain honing his craft, he packed up his skills and his tattoo machines and traveled for the next 5 years taking inspiration from the art and folklore of tattoo cultures all over the world.

In 2004, he opened Saved Tattoo in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Since then, it has grown to be the East Coast's premier tattoo shop with a devout following of celebrity clientele. Campbell has the taken the blue collar grit and lore of tattoo culture and extracted a visual language and wit that are supremely refined and deliberate. He has an uncanny ability to tell a story with any medium, flesh or otherwise.
