tonight Fritz Helder & The Phantoms will be celebrating the release of their debut album, Greatest Hits: Platinum Edition (hee hee, get it? it’s their first album, but they’re calling it Greatest Hits: Platinum Edition? ha!) at Cinespace for Dim Mak’s (i.e. Steve Aoki and The Cobra Snake and pals) weekly Tuesday event. the event is hosted by Nelly Furtado who is releasing the record under her new indie label, Nelstar Music. to me they sound a lot like a Scissor Sisters that doesn’t suck, but you can judge for yourself after watching the fcuking sweet video above. most importantly, there is free vodka from 10-11, which means jesus satan will be at this one, folks, in case you needed any extra incentive. follow the white rabbit.
apparently the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are getting a little lazy and cheap in their old age. they’re running a contest for their fans to design a shirt which they will then use to sell at their concerts and online. so basically they make a ton of money off your blood and sweat and tears and all you get is some autographed ‘booty’. (unless by ‘booty’ they mean Karen O – then suddenly it’s the best contest ever.) sounds like a rip to me, but then again, we’re offering a pair of free tickets to Fritz Helder and the Phantoms if you Twitter for us like the hookers you know you are, so who are we to judge? oh yeah, we’re bloggers. info below.
Hey Folks, all us YYYs have been avid collectors of t-shirts over the years, what can we say, WE LIKEY A GOOD T-SHIRT. In our travels many of you have chucked a homemade YYY tee on the stage or what not and all the shirts have always been unique and poured over with loooooove. So it got us thinking: how about giving you the fans a crack at coming up with a fresh new blitzin’ YYY T-shirt design! It’s a natural fact that YYYs have amongst YOU a whole heap of ART STARS! So school’s out for the summer and we want you to spend a hot lazy afternoon throwing something together for us YYYs to REPRESENT! And I got a hunch you’re gonna bring it! And if you do we’ll bring back a little something in return…!! Luv, YYYs
