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.

Javelin – On It On It

Get to know 1 half of the duo that makes up Chromeo-oooo-o!

So why might people know Chromeo?

“People who are having sex might have heard or listened to Chromeo.”

What is something the internet might not know about Patrick Gemayel, that you think we should know?

“Hmm. Where do you start? Hold on let me think of something funny. Aah, this is a good opportunity to tell you something good. Oh, okay I got it. P thinks that Celine Dion, is gorgeous. He really thinks she is a beautiful woman. He adores her. This is a true story. We used to work in Montreal, out of the studio she owned. One time when we were there, Celine walked in with her husband and son. Unfortunately for P, she only said hi to me.”

What is overrated right now? “Television.”

What is underrated?

“Hmmmm. Education is underrated. (I start to laugh about David getting political.) Not that I am trying to make this all serious, but a good education for all is very much underrated.”

Do you remember where and who your first slow dance was?

“Yeah. My first slow dance was an extended arm dance. It was 5th grade, back home in Montreal. The girl was really hot. Way out of my league. Everyone was wondering how I hooked it up. Sad, but true, she started going out with someone else a month after our dance.”

And what song was playing? “Patience by Guns Roses.”

What are some people and things that are just so “1980′s” to you?

“Prince. Ronald Reagan. I think about Eddie Murphy. Most importantly I think about videos. I think of the amazing videos that I watched as a kid, that really shaped my modern vision and taste. I was born in 1978. But, as a kid I was just listening to my parents records, but then I started to acquire my own taste as music videos came out. I think of innovation, such as the microwave or neon socks. I think of a lot of hip-hop, a lot of the most music of our generation. It was the greatest decade for me.”

Check out Chromeo’s music video for ‘Turn The Lights On’:

What celebrity appears to be a lovely date and a match for you?

“Let’s see. Monica Belucci.

Who else, since I think she is taken?

“What is that others girl name I like? Hmmm that British chick. Alexa Chung. She is alright. Is she single?”

Do you have a favorite word?

“Oh, good question, I can relate. My favorite word changes each week. I have a lot of favorite words. Right now it’s Philistine. I mean I know it’s been around, but this week I am bringing it back. Last week it was assuage which means to alleviate.”

You have a great vocabulary.

“People always use the same five words – sick, sweet, awesome rad and legit. Which is of course okay when describing Chromeo.”

What are you favorite life sounds?

“I like the sound of expensive car door shutting. It’s just the sound of expensive. I like that. I like the sound of a snaffle bottle opening. I got an espresso machine, I like the sound when the espresso is made. That’s a pretty good one. I like the sound when I am wearing a leather jacket, and everyone of my movements.”

If you had to choose a food to eat for an indefinite amount of time what would you choose?

“My mom’s cooking.  All the Moroccan stuff she makes. My mom is Moroccan. If I can’t have that I want Pat’s moms cooking, she is excellent at Lebanese stuff and Italian.

2010 is wrapping up, so what are some of your favorite albums you would have on your best of 2010 list?

“Hands down, my favorite album of the year is Gonzales “Ivory Tower” produced by Boyz Noise.  Then I would have to say Kanye West’s album, cause that’s going to be a good one. The Roots album “Wake Up!”. Oh, I am adding a fourth. The Scissor Sisters album. That was slept on, but really should have been paid attention.”

What Scissor Sisters song do you recommend? “Any Which Way.”

(David goes hm and bum bum bum in between thoughts. It’s pretty cute and so relevant considering he makes music for a living and so his noises are entertaining when in conversation as well.)

What images come to mind when listening to “Business Casual”?
“White pants. Open shirts. And sunsets. Palm trees. Office romance gone wrong.

What track on “Business Casual” would you suggest I play if I want to set the mood?

“Don’t Walk Away is the sexiest song on the album.”

Lastly, who is an artist that you would like to interview to get to know?

“The Suzan all girl band. Signed to Fools Gold Label.”

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

You can catch Chromeo on tour for the next few months. So either you can get to know them by catching the funky-electronic duo at a show, or you can just give a good listen to their new album “Business Casual”.

::::::::::::::::: SO, YOU THINK YOU KNOW CHROMEO :::::::::::::::::::

Alright finally our good friend Friday is here.

So forget about your 7-Up and chips! Here’s the perfect little track to play while you pick out your outfit… get ready because we’re going dancing! Weeeeeeeee!

Breakbot – Make You Mine

Oh yeah, don’t forget… this is what we’re doing this weekend. It will be sooooooooo fun!

Holy moly NO MORE STRANGERS HALLOWEEN was just unreal! Our secret Chinatown loft space (aka The Lions Den) was wall to wall by 11 and the sweaty singalong makeout dance jamboree was so crazy crazy crazy.

UPDATE: You’ve got to check out the pictures! PHOTOS FROM NMS HALLOWEEN HERE.

Along with the usual mess of mobile phones, jackets, and wallets you usually find, we also found a bag of bread, a glass bottle of milk, love letters, the weirdest wall stains you can imagine (in the weirdest places), and a bunch of spinach. Milk and spinach at a dance party!

A massive thank you to everyone who came out to dance and check out the amazing bands. Winnie Cooper and the NO MORE STRANGERS family love you!

Stevie Wonder – Love Light In Flight

Don’t forget NO MORE STRANGERS is back at SMILEY’S this coming Saturday with live guests Modern Creatures and Tight Solid!

Janko Nilovic & Dave Sucky – In the Space

Want 5 free drinks?

If you’re in Vancouver, do the Gastown Shuffle on June 10. And no, it’s not like the Stanky Leg. To take part, check the flyer for details.

You’ll need a badge for the complimentary drinks (1 beer or shot at each of the five participating venues) and Winnie Cooper has extras if you need some – just holler.

Here’s something to shuffle to… this is a classic, heavily sampled gem from 1975:

The Blackbyrds – Rock Creek Park

There was lots of vomit on the sidewalks down there on Saturday night. But I’m sure it’s all evaporated by now. Wooo Gastown!

So yeah. Had a rough night to put it lightly. Here’s how it went:

1. Playing songs for dancing.
2. Power overloads.
3. Speakers go dead.
4. Me wanting to die.
5. Fixed, sound comes back.
6. Repeat 2 thru 5… twice more.

The Gap Band – Outstanding

I gather this isn’t new, but I’ve never seen it.

Demicouture put this out there, and I couldn’t resist sharing it.

Pop success = a blonde wig?

Ha!

The Deele – Hip Chic

We are throwing a Valentines party in Vancouver, Saturday, February 14th.

Its going to be radder than super sours. Think high school dance but with sloppier make outs. We’re bringing our pals, Type To Talk who played at Blastramp with us as well as the one man show, Keytar Warrior from Victoria.

As well as having ridiculously cheap cover, the drink prices are pretty damn friendly… $3.25 Pints / $4 shots and Highballs / $11 pitchers.

Ticket available at door!  Hit up the facebook event page for more info….
