MOBRODER



The long awaited debut mix from disco supergroup MOBRODER hit the web today. Comprised of the homies Spank Rock, Hoff and Blu Jemz, MOBRODER chronicles the down and out times of fictional disco legend Mobroder in Miami in the early 80's who has lost his fame and Precious, the love of his life.

The mix combines some hilarious skits and some disco freshness, check out the first video and download the whole MOBRODER mix on their site below. Highly recommended.

Yuck


First off, I know Yuck is a terrible band name. And I realize their logo and album cover are equally as juvenile and baseless.

However, these kids are championing the movement to bring back early 90's distortion-heavy rock and I am all for it. Flashes of Teenage Fanclub, Dionsaur Jr and Sonic Youth catch my ear as I listen to this debut album from Yuck.

Big thanks to the homie Del LeFevre for putting me onto these guys.


Get Away


Operation



Sunday


Yuck is also playing at The Echo tonight if you are in LA if your don't already have plans to glare dreamily at Win Butler or rub elbows with Diddy at a Grammy Party.
