Show Spotlight: Zola Jesus

Zola Jesus, the musical project and stage name of Nika Roza Danilova, will be playing with Xanopticon on Saturday, October 29th at the Mohawk. Often described as dark and gothic, Danilova lists Throbbing Gristle, Diamanda Galas as well as Ian Curtis as influences. Growing up, Danilova was classically trained as an opera singer but began to gravitate toward more rock-oriented music in her teenage years. Yet, it seems that the singer still draws from her earlier training as one listens to her passionate, haunting vocals. Davila has toured with Fever Ray and the xx. Her current tour is in support of her latest album, Conatus, which is her third studio album release.

Zola Jesus' latest video for the track, "Vessel," features Davila against the stark background of the New Mexican desert.

Fun Fun Fun Fest Spotlight: Austra

At first glance, Katie Stelmanis appears to be the delicate, girl-next-door type. But her music suggests quite the opposite. As the front-woman of Austra, she creates mysterious dance music that would make for a great soundtrack of an experimental film. (No surprise, then, that Austra’s music videos delve into nude dancers, reptilian deformities, and sporadic images of missiles—a bizarre realm of visual representation that only its music could support.) Through obsessive electronic beats and extended vocal lines, the songs simultaneously evoke excitement and instill a sense of reverence. Stemanis’ commanding voice sings gruesome, passionate lyrics about love and anger that transform her from some sweet-natured girl to a woman cloaked in darkness and rhythm.

The Black Keys Premiere New Song/Video "Lonely Boy"

I love that The Black Keys are not one to rest on their laurels, but instead continue to put out quality music. That is exactly why they are one of our favorite bands, hands down.

The duo's most recent song is entitled "Lonely Boy" and is included on their forthcoming album El Camino, which is due out in just over a month's time on Dec. 6th. The video down below (directed by Jesse Dylan) features a guy getting his groove on to the awesomeness of Dan and Patrick.

Fun Fun Fun Fest Spotlight: Wugazi

   
Wugazi is a labor of love by Cecil Otter & Swiss Andy. A year’s worth of cutting up every imaginable Fugazi record and trying out every Wu-Tang acapella they could get their hands on, resulted in Wugazi: 13 Chambers (a must listen for anyone who even looked at a skateboard in the 90’s). Cecil Otter is an emcee & producer, and one of the founding members of Doomtree. He has contributed to over a dozen records. His most recent full-length, Rebel Yellow, was re-released by Sage Francis for Strange Famous Records. He’s now recording his solo project, Porcelain Revolver. Swiss Andy is a musician & producer residing in Minneapolis. He has been a contributor to several bands including The Millionth Word, Field Guide and The Swiss Army. He is currently working on a remix of Rebel Yellow.

Fun Fun Fun Fest Spotlight: Grimes

It's hard to imagine how Grimes mastermind Claire Boucher found the time to record her new full-length, 'Visions,' what with her heavy tour schedule sending her crisscrossing the globe. So when it came to hit the studio, the Montrealer did it the only way she knew how to.

"It's kind of crazy but I just locked myself in my room for about a month and didn't leave," Boucher tells Spinner. "I didn't tell anyone I was in Montreal and people just thought I was on tour." Boucher is no stranger to working 16-hour stints, often with no food or communication with the outside world. But with 'Visions' -- which drops January 31 -- she took things to a whole new intense level.

Fun Fun Fun Fest Spotlight: Matt Bearden

"Funniest Person In Austin" award winner as well as Chronicle "Best Comedian" winner, Matt Bearden has been doing his thing in Austin for some time now. If you by some chance haven't been fortunate enough to check out one of his performances around town here is your chance. He called me out for driving to last years FFF Fest press conference as opposed to biking (or something like that) and I have been a huge fan ever since.

Fun Fun Fun Fest Spotlight: Girls

Made up of two key members, Christopher Owens who is the main writer and Chet "JR" White who plays bass and produces. The band's lead singer, Christopher Owens, is a former member of the Children of God cult.

Listen: Girls | "Vomit"

   

Upon arriving in San Francisco (via Amarillo, Texas), Owens met White, a Bay Area native who was raised in Santa Cruz, California. White began recording bands in his parents' garage. Upon meeting, the two developed a strong bond and interest in similar music, as well as a shared background in Punk/Hardcore music. Shortly thereafter Owens and White started recording what was to later be their debut album, titled Album. A former member of the band Holy Shit with Ariel Pink and Matt Fishbeck in an interview with Exclaim! magazine, Owens related much of how being part of the Children of God cult informed his childhood and his music. While there, he was not allowed to listen to music from outside the group, but was allowed to watch movies from which he absorbed music like Queen and Guns N' Roses. Girls' Album is an "overflow of expression", as Owens could do whatever he liked on the album without worry for boundaries.

The band released their second full length album Father, Son, Holy Ghost on September 13th

Ultra8201 presents Junior Painkiller at The North Door Tonight (10/18)

Tonight we kick off the very first night of our new monthly party at The North Door. It is called Junior Painkiller and will be taking place on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. As most of you may know the "Ultra" in Ultra8201 is taken from the Depeche Mode album. Well did you know that album had a secret track titled "Junior Painkiller"? With that in mind I thought it would be the the perfect title for my monthly party. I have carefully crafted a huge playlist for tonight and the drinks will be cheap and plentiful.

To celebrate the kick off we will be giving away a pair of Fun Fun Fun Fest tickets at 11pm. We will be handing out tickets when you enter and you must be present to win. We will also have a full playlist of Fun Fun Fun Fest artists before we draw to get you pumped for the fest!

She released her Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Bird and the Bee) and Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) produced English-language debut on August 2, 2011 to effusive critical acclaim. The New York Daily News called the self-titled release, "One of the most inventive, and pleasing, reinventions of new wave pop in years," Nylon declared it "infectious, fun and just the right amount of poppy," and SPIN named Ximena Sariñana one of the "Best Albums of 2011 So Far." Ximena was also selected as VH1's "You Oughta Know" artist for the month of August.
