Tiger & Woods, consisting of Larry Tiger and David Woods, are a secretive musical duo that often hides behind a fierce looking leopard logo.  They’ve recently garnered much attention for their funk infused disco, which has probably gotten them more ass than the real Tiger Woods circa 2010.

Their latest release “Through the Green” got them an 8.2 on Pitchfork media, with the track “Gin Nation” even making it on the sites top 100 tracks of 2011 list, coming in at a solid 83.   For the past few months, Tiger & Woods have been touring the world, selling out clubs in New York, London, and Miami.

While the lack of information regarding their personal histories is frustrating, especially if you fantasies involving a hotel room and bubble baths, the epicness of this dream team cannot be denied.  The only scary part is that these dudes are just getting started.

So if you want to experience the magic that is Tiger & Woods, come by FIVESIXTY (560 Seymour Street) on May 25.  Tickets are only $15.00 in advance and are available online and at the following locations: Red Cat, Puff, Zulu, Highlife and Beatstreet.

Also taking the stage is Winnie Cooper co-founder @Tristanorchard, as well as Luke Mckeehan, Joel Armstrong, DJ Woodhead, SKLA and Right Hand Barber.  Doors at 10 pm.  More information on the event page.

Wait a tic, ya’ll better check out what’s going on @ CANVAS (99 Powell St.) Gastown tonight. Strangelove Inc are apparently the new kids on the block for alt/electro. Launching tonight with the resurrection of DJ Tony Seoul (previously Needle Kineval), CANVAS looks like it might be cool again on Fridays. Winnie will see you there… ♥♥♥

Curious? Yea, I thought so. Not only do A Tribe Called Red boast a name all too intriguing to ignore, but their insane ritual beats will make you thirst for more. Trissy BABY sent me these bad boys and I just about flipped. Check out a track of theirs below and download their album FREE HERE… you best be doin’ it up.

Kuhrye-oo is the brainchild of Calvin McElroy from (Winnie favourites) Born Gold. With a nice underground buzz happening, Kuhrye-oo are on to some hot shit. Download three wicked songs recently released here and enjoy my favourite track below.

I’m pretty sure this is what Heaven looks like after experimenting with acid.  It’s a glorious wonderland.

Oh and I guess it’s sorta NSFW, unless your boss digs dem oldschool tittes. However, I’m guessing they’re supa lame so check out the MP3 below.

To promote their upcoming North American Tour, Winnie’s favourite pop-rock Parisian’s released this banging new remix from Hey Champ.  It’s retro but still upper cool.

Luckily they’re coming to the Electric Owl on April 6^th and you have Winnie and Timbre Concerts to thank.  Get ready to participate in some serious French kissing.  Advance tickets are only $13.00 and available online at www.northerntickets.com, at the Northern Tickets box office (located at the Vogue Theatre) and via phone (604-569-1144). You can also hit up Red Cat and Zulu Records.

Winnie loves St. Patrick’s Day, kissing the Irish is one of our favorite pastimes.  So, we’re teaming up with Intimate Productions and RadioZero to throw an event that is sure to make our leprechaun friends smirk with envy.  And of course banging music will be involved.  Riton, with RadioZero DJ’s Cam Dales and Tyler Fedchuck, will be helping us celebrate at the Electric Owl on Saturday, March 17.

Riton aka Henry Smithson hails from the United Kingdom, where he has been influencing European dance culture since the early 1990’s.  His psychedelic-inspired electro is not only hypnotic but also utterly refreshing.

Doors are at 9pm and early bird tickets are only $12.00…way more reasonable than the outlandish cover that every bar in downtown Vancouver will be charging and they won’t have any hipster babes. Now that you’ve made up your mind, tickets will soon be available online but you can also check out the following locations:

BeatStreet Records (439 Hastings)
Puff Uptown (3255 Main St & 16th)
Puff Granville (841 Granville St)
Zulu Records (1972 W 4th Ave)
Red Cat (4332 Main Street)

Vancouver party rockers, Humans have a brand new exciting EP up for fresh ear harvest today.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/traps/id507957101

Next week, if you see someone busting moves awkwardly at the bus stop you’ll know what’s up. Winnie has had the privilege to preview the new EP and there are some serious chest bursting dance tracks mixed in with some surprisingly thoughtful journeys. You can see Humans at the Winnie Cooper SXSW Showcase in Austin March 17th, as well as Winnie’s showcase in Los Angeles in March 8th at Dim Mak Studios.

Unfortunately for me, I’m a quasi-proud Calgarian.  However, every now and then something comes along that makes me wish I had been born in this beautiful place called Vancouver.

Recently, the sheer awesomeness of the local band Young Liars made me reconsider my loyalty to Alberta.  Coincidentally enough, I heard about them through Winnie Cooper back in 2010 after they received a tip from drummer Tony Dallas.

Young Liars are special for variety of reasons.  You see, not only is the band overflowing with babes (Hay Andrew) but their unique musical blend invokes a youthful maturity that I thought was only possible in my wildest dreams.  They’re indie, dance, electro and ultimately everything mainstream pop music should aspire to be. As an added bonus, their attention to lyrical detail makes time travelling back to that kick ass party in the 12th grade a legit possibility. Seriously, if these dudes don’t make you dance, or at least slightly sway your body, you might need to see a medical professional.

They’ve created something that you fall in love with after just one listen and then immediately text your homies to tell them the good news. If you haven’t already checked them out its cool, you’re just a bit of a late bloomer, but then again so was Lindsay Lohan.  And luckily, their first release after signing with Nettwerk dropped on Tuesday.  I kindly suggest copping the “Homesick Future EP” before you have less street cred than Steve Urkel <3. Check out a sampler here.
