THE END OF AN ERA!

The rumours are true. Thunderheist is over. [Insert weeping emoticons here!!!!] Red Bull sales will plummet. Clubs will be just a little less sweaty.

But Isis and Grahmzilla don’t have any time for any funerals! Both have solo projects in the works.

Isis is working on tracks for her new project Surprise Sex and Grahmzilla is remixing hype artists like Vancouver sorceresses, Fan Death, calling himself Nautiluss.

I talk to them both about the death of one of party rap’s bright lights and life after Thunderheist.

Thunderheist on the interview show

Thunderheist “Jerk It” (bootleg mix) The song that started it all.

Thunderheist “Little Booty Girl” (Alias remix) 80s remix goodness.

Fan Death “Veronica’s Veil” (Nautiluss from the deep mix) Grahmzilla’s new project.

the interview show is everywhere! (interviewshow[at]gmail.com)

OK so one of our fave Vancouver bands, Fan Death (although they say they are from Christmas Island, which does sounds pretty magical) are opening for one of my other fave bands, Vampy Weekend for their almost completely sold out UK and European dates.  As well as Little Boots in NA.

AND

They are taking one of Vancouver’s finest talents to drum for them, the one man spectacle, Mr Tony Dallas (who has graced us on many occasion at our NMS night).  This is rad right?

Vampire Weekend – Cousins (myspace rip, purchase the newly released version)

Fan Death – Reunited (CCENTURIESS Remix)

Hunk The Drunk – When The Bump’s Right (Fan Death vs Spank Rock)

You should check out the other bands Tony’s in, Boogie Monster, The SSRI’s, Junior Major, Mexican Drug Patrol & Supercassette.

Hurry on back Tony, you will be missed.

Fan Death – Cannibal

Local sweethearts, Fan Death have a new single out!

They were featured on Perez Hilton yesterday.

Check out their new video with appearances by Prince, Marilyn Manson, Axl Rose and an Asian Pee Wee Herman.

I’m pretty sure Merriweather Post Pavilion will be in a lot of peoples top albums for 09′.  Continuing the trend of rapping over samples from the latest hip(ster) band for internet fame we have 607‘s take on Taste.

Animal Collective ft. 607 – Taste (Remix)

Phoenix‘s latest, “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”, is a pretty damn stellar pop album.  It’s set for release, May 25th.  This is a tight new wave/disco/pet shop boys-ish reworking of 1901 from Mother Father.  You can download the original for free from Phoenix’s website!

Phoenix – 1901 (M_F Nu Wave rmx)

Fan Death has also done a great remix of this Datarock track.

Datarock – Give It Up (Kissy Sell Remix)

Anorak of the french house posse, Valerie is a WC fave.  French house / disco pop.  Did you know, in British slang an anorak is a person, typically a man, who is an enthusiast interested in information regarded as boring or unfathomable by the rest of the population.

Anorak – Nightdrive With You (Pomomofo Remix)

Pegase is the newest and youngest member of Valerie.  If this is the demo version, imagine how good the final version will sound.  Very excited to hear more from Pegase!

Pegase – Without Reasons (demo)

***The term, “Fan Death” is a Korean urban legend which states that an electric fan, if left running overnight in a closed room, can cause the death (bysuffocation, poisoning, or hypothermia) of those inside.

Fans manufactured and sold in Korea are equipped with a timer switch that turns them off after a set number of minutes, which users are frequently urged to set when going to sleep with a fan on.

The Korea Consumer Protection Board (KCPB), a South Korean government-funded public agency, issued a consumer safety alert in 2006 warning that “asphyxiation from electric fans and air conditioners” was among South Korea’s five most common seasonal summer accidents or injuries, according to data they collected!!!!!

wtf? lolz. THIS IS FOR REAL. read more

If your having trouble understanding here it is simplified:

Here‘s another blog article on it.  Remember to turn that fan off at night.  Thank god it’s not summer anymore.
