HOT CHIP – ONE LIFE STAND (Dance/Electro – UK)
Here is British electropop band Hot Chip’s new single off their forthcoming album. “One Life Stand” is an electronic pop track with hints of disco that starts off a little somber, but will get you dancing around your room before long… It’s fresh, fun and real Hot Chip sound…
Hot Chip - One Life Stand
Hot Chip’s new album, which will bear the same name as the lead single, should be dropping in February 2010. It will be the band’s fourth studio album, after Coming on Strong (2004), The Warning (2006), and Made in the Dark (2008).

LOCAL NATIVES – GORILLA MANOR (Indie/Pop/Rock – US)
Local Natives are a bunch of five musicians from Southern California and they have just released their debut LP Gorilla Manor (French Kiss / Infectious Music 2009), which you can get on iTunes. Upon first listen though, it seems as if there’s no way this can really be their first record. Taylor Rice (vocals/guitar), Kelcey Ayer (vocals/keys/percussion), Ryan Hahn (vocals/guitar), Andy Hamm (Bass) and Matt Frazier (Drums) really sound like they know what they’re doing! Their songs roll by with the ease, confidence and chemistry of a much more seasoned act.
Some have compared them to bands like Broken Social Scene but with rich orchestration à la Grizzly Bear or FleetFoxes. I say, let’s forget comparaisons and listen to their sound…
Local Natives - Sun Hands
The Local Natives are touring the US at the moment and will soon embark on a huge European tour that will take them to Spain, France, Denmark, Germany, the UK, etc… More info on MySpace!

Hot British five-piece, Robot Disaster unleash their new single “Boy” on an unsuspecting public following many adventures that have seen them bring their very own brand of angular indie electro to club nights, sharing stages with the likes of Late of the Pier, Calvin Harris, Trash Fashion…
Gavin (vocals), Tom (synth), Alessio (guitar), Dean (bass) and Sam (drums) describe themselves as ‘sick electropunk kids bringin’ you stuff with a beat, stuff that’s deep, and stuff that’s danced to by the kids on the street’.
