The Octopus Project “Fuguefat”

Traditionally the term “hot shit” has been reserved for american football players, bands that sound like AC/DC, and the Kansas City Chili Cook Off. Now however, I am officially bestowing the name to a malnourished post-electronica instrumental band called The Octopus Project. Unlike the above mentioned “hot shit” people, what sets the Octopus Project apart is that they don’t care at all about being seen as “hot shit”, and that’s even more reason why they deserve the honor. I would even wager good money that if you had the former and the latter “hot shit” makers have a go at it, The Octopus Project would brutalize the rest. First reason is because there are five of them and they obviously have each others backs, unlike douche bag jocks that are only about themselves. Second reason, their music alone will knock your ass out, and if that doesn’t then their trippy new video for “Contact” will – check it below. Third reason, their talent is at Heavy Weight Champion of the World level, unlike most bands that can’t even make it past the first EP release…… just no staying power.

If you think your band is as “hot shit” as The Octopus Project and their new album Hexadecagon then please email us your press kit and we’ll throw it in the garbage because I know you are lying.

    Greenhorse @ The Satellite, 5/11

    Greenhorse’s performance at the Satellite was more than just a typical opening band on a Friday night. Sharing their home state with popular headliners Gauntlet Hair (its Wyoming), Greenhorse also recognized how monumental this moment really is: “It’s kind of exciting because when we first moved to L.A, we came to Spaceland and we were like, ‘I hope we get to play here someday.” The trio played to a dark room, each member merely lit by their own spotlight, which [...]

    Choir of Young Believers at SPOT Festival 2012

    Choir of Young Believers are a band whose music perfectly emulates their name. With an ecclesiastic, reverberant sound quite akin to that of Fleet Foxes, this seven-piece Danish band not only possess a musicality that is powerful and elating, they are also captivating live and have a stage presence that is transfixing. CYOB’s show at SPOT Festival was deep and dynamic, possessing a memorably surreal energy. Their music resonates within every cell of the body, stirring emotions that you never [...]

    Thee Attacks @ SPOT Festival 2012

    Thee Attacks were an unexpected highlight at this years SPOT festival with their seductively wild performance that shook the Voxhall stage to it’s core and stripped the walls bare until all that remained was a static sexual charge that was impossible to ignore. It was not their first time at SPOT festival, nor were they new to the stage in any way- having performed at numerous locations around the world in the last few years, including this years SXSW. Yet the [...]

    SPOT Festival 2012, Århus Denmark

    It was a Scandinavian Spring morning as I boarded the train from Copenhagen to Århus, Denmark’s smaller, quieter version of Copenhagen, and the home of SPOT festival. Being my first time at SPOT as well as my first time in Århus, my expectations were built solely on the good things I had heard through the grapevine about the two-day musical whirlwind, dedicated to showcasing emerging Danish and Nordic bands. My first thought on arrival was ‘where are all the people?’ [...]

    The Mowgli’s CD Release Party @ The Roxy

    In a word, The Mowgli’s are happy. The crowd that follows The Mowgli’s is quite a diverse one, not so surprising given their demeanor – filling The Roxy with old and young, long skirts, short shorts and even studded belts. Turns out love & happiness arent’t just reserved for flower power! The benefits of releasing an album before throwing the party are that the audience already owns, loves and knows every word so this crowd didn’t miss a beat once [...]

    Boz Boorer – Slippery Forces (video)

    If the name Boz Boorer doesn’t ring any bells, then you’re probably not alone. Quite possibly more commonly known as Morrissey’s guitarist,Boorer presents you with a tune that demonstrates that he is capable of and on his way to etching a name for himself in the indie music scene.
