Winnie’s 1 Year Birthday Party Photos!
I want to send a big shout out to the Local Natives and The Union Line for coming out and playing at our birthday party! It was a blast.
The next, NO MORE STRANGERS party is on May 9th, we have Garland and Yarn playing. More to follow!

It’s the Beat!
When I first heard of these guys it was a killer collaboration; Justice vs. Simian. A match made in heaven, like peaches and cream or Ying and Yang. Justice of course being the Yang with their balls-to-the-wall, metal-infused, slap to the face live act, and Simian as the more dance-inspired, melodic Yang….and boy was the Yang out last night; minus their tops, or boyfriends
(see Winnie photos).
Just in time for the launch of a new, up-coming album, the two James, now called Simian Mobile Disco, had the entire Commodore Ballroom creaming their pants – with or without the pharmaceuticals. Although their act didn’t really involve them “playing” anything – who gives a shit! These two mangled-tooth Brits don’t hide behind their technology, and actually know how to play to a crowd; proof that electronic duos are not just a bunch of fugly, introverted, manic-masturbating geeks, but showmen (or women) as well. When it comes to SMD, it’s not just the beat, it’s also the party.
Big up SWAK

Summer Heat
My Internet so conviently went out this morning and now I’m sitting outside in the comfy 105* So Cal Sun leeching community wifi. And showing some Winnie love.
Anyway SMD are releasing Sample and Hold in the UK on July 25th. Or you can hunt it down now and import a copy later. Every track is completely recontextualized and sounds amazing.
