It’s not for the cock, it’s for a beautiful mess and chaotic success

Saturday Morning Videos
caUSE co-MOTION! "Who’s Gonna Care"; For a band that specializes in songs under 2-minutes in length this is pretty much the perfect video. Super sped up, jumpy, energetic vibes that go right along with their fast, funky song. Grade: B+ Dent May - "Howard"; Corny may just be the most appropriate way to describe Dent May, so it’s pretty fitting that his...
Micachu interview
Shapes Of Things Before My Eyes Mica Levi has been surrounded by music her entire life; she admits to knowing little about life itself but it doesn’t seem to bother her. She’s emerged from the British underground like a hurricane, creating a musical genre all of her own. Whether she wants to admit it or not, her music is truly unique, paving the way for a whole new musical...
Buzzworthy??? Or Not???
Who: Micachu & the Shapes Location: London, UK elbo.ws Ranking: N/A (as of yesterday) Thoughts: Followers of the super blog known as MBV may have noticed a bit of a trend running through most of yesterday’s posts as the individual bloggers behind the site each did their best to hype up Micachu, her band the Shapes, and their new album Jewellery. After seeing that out pouring of love...

The Shapes MP3s

Micachu and the Shapes - Lips
You know that little tuner that every band carries around, plugs into, and checks constantly throughout their shows? Well it turns out that little box isn’t really necessary to create incredibly catchy and addictive pop music, just ask Mica Levi. Levi, better known as Micachu, has decided to tune her guitar in a totally different manner and I highly doubt there’s a tuning pedal that...
Micachu - Lips (We Have Band Remix)
(Photo: Olly Hearsey) We’ve lauded the disjointed, frenetic rainfalls of 22-year old ingenue Micachu Levi since January. Thus, to see Micachu and The Shapes (Raisa Kahn on keys, Marc Pell on drums) live here in Austin couldn’t make us happier (than the 80 degrees weather already has made us.) To celebrate, we are bringing you more Micachu. Another new favorite band, the somewhat...

Siren Fest 2009: Built to Spill + Thee Oh Sees + Japandroids + Raveonettes + Grand Duchy + more
Built to Spill Grand Duchy/Frank Black Thee Oh Sees Without a doubt, this was the most pleasant weather the Siren Festival has ever seen. Maybe a weird thing to say up front, but here’s a festival that has a reputation for being held on the most miserably hot, humid day of the year, where you wish someone would squeegee you every half hour. So with temperatures in the mid-80s and low...
Siren Fest '09
Do not go to Siren Fest hungover! This should be a rule that’s written on the post because it is a pretty awful feeling to stand in the sun on one of the warmest days of the year when you were drinking till 4am the previous night. Yeah, sometimes my decision making is not what it’s supposed to be at this point in my life, but I did my best to battle the hangover and my sudden aversion...
