So, how was everyone's Thanksgiving?? Yeah, I don't care much either. Don't get me wrong, I like "The Holidays", but I'm just kinda sick of talking about 'em. Call me Scrooge, or Charleton Heston, but I just dont care to talk about the upcoming Holiday season....
Could it be because I am excited about something else?....Yeah, you thought this rant wasn't going anywhere, huh?? EHHHH!! WRONG, SUCKAS!
I'm excited (and thankful) for the release of our (The Voyeurs) album, "Well Known Drag"!
After years of playing with Mr. Hylander, he and I finally get to release a whole album or original material!! Our previous group, E>K>U>K couldn't even do that!!
To make things more exciting, we decided to do away with that annoying plastic waste of space called CD's and release on a bigger waste of space called "vinyl". Yes, dear friends, we've reverted back to the old ways of grandpa Joe and did an "LP".
"B-b-b-ut, I don't have a "record player". Well, you're in luck!!
We've not only reverted to the past, we've also looked to the future (in our Delorean) and brought back DIGITAL DOWNLOAD DROP CARDS!
So, we've covered all the bases. We have LP's for the "purists" and we have digital download drop cards for the kids.
"Well Known Drag: will be released on January 27, 2009 on Otik Records. It will be avialable on ITunes as well that day!!
A record release show is set for January 27, 2009 @ The Echo with our best friends, The Monolators and Les Blanks!
I guess that's it for now!! Thanks for listening!
Love,
Sean Voyeur.
There's something mysterious about Datarock. Maybe it has to do with the fact that they're from Norway and that they go by the names Rock Steady Freddie and Ket-ill or perhaps it's their consistent and constant wardrobe of red sweat suits with dark glasses. Regardless of their mysterious identities, one thing is for sure, Datarock knows how to make an audience move. They recently swang through LA and dropped into The Echo where they lit a fire under the feet of an east side crowd who happily danced along to songs such as "Computer Camp Love", "Bulldozer", "I Used to Dance with My Daddy" and their radio hit "Fa Fa Fa". ManiaTV and Spaceland Recordings were there to capture the live performances as well as some behind the scenes action on the tour bus where a radio contest winner hung out with the band on their way to the show. Brendan however was not around as he wanders around LA looking for the bands tour bus, his adventure taking him from the bus stop outside his house to the subway station at Hollywood and Highland.

We're very excited to help celebrate the one year anniversary of RCRDLBL (November 15th!) by offering an exclusive live download of Datarock's "Computer Camp Love."

Showing the true amount of diverse acts that come through the Spaceland venues, this week we bring you Bob Log III, the one man band whose identity is at all times masked by a spaceman like helmet complete with a mic inside. It's the fifth episode of the ongoing "At the Show" series on ManiaTV.
The experimental slide guitarist from Tuscon who can count Tom Waits among his fans wows a packed audience at The Echo as he takes on the duties of drums, vocals and guitar. Bob Log III stirs up the crowd with shouts of "f*&% yeah" between songs such as "Damn That Sounds Good" and "Make You Say Wow". Brendan is present once again and backstage talks with Bob ,who through the muffled haze of his helmet mic describes himself as "a mother lifting a bus off a baby".A southern mad man who can crowd surf mid song and then just as easily play with two girls from the audience on his knees, Bob Log III is a truly unique artist who made for a truly unique night at the echo.

Also, once again we are pleased to make one song available for exclusive download here at RCRDLBL. This time it's Bob Log III's "Make You Say Wow".
See you soon,

Pop Levi is now a Los Angeles resident after re-locating from England. He was born in London, started his musical career in Liverpool and toured for 3 years as Ladytron's bass player before he fell in love with Los Angeles and promptly moved his band out here. Steering away from the electro side of Ladytron, Pop's solo stuff recalls more T-Rex and Ziggy Stardust era glam rock. He released the EP "Blue Honey" and the full length "Return to Form Black Magick Party" over the past couple years on Ninja Tune Records to some critical acclaim. Recently, he has come out with his latest full length offering "Never Never Love".
A couple weeks ago, Pop Levi performed at The Echo's regular Friday night event "Club Underground" alongside Spaceland Recordings alumn The Parson Red Heads. Brendan and ManiaTV were there again to take you inside the club for some live performances of the songs "Call the Operator", "Semi-Babe" and "Sugar Assault Me Now". Brendan also chats with the man about the age of Itunes, being English in LA and an improptu re-enactment of the Last Supper at neighboring French restaurant Taix. Watch Episode 4 of "At the Show"
We're also pleased to make an exclusive live download of "Sugar Assault Me Now" available here on RCRDLBL.
Until next time,
Dane
