Hiro Ballroom will be a Furries’ delight this Thursday when the TeddyBears take stage. I really don’t know how they got the clout to pull Neneh Cherry and Iggy Pop to guest on their well produced songs but if you’re wondering if these guest will appear at Hiro, you may be in for a surprise.

Teddybears Live
Plus Live Performances by Stylofone, Bryan Scary and Roman Candle
The Ruff Kids and Alex English DJ

Hiro Ballroom Thursday March 1

We have a great show this week - Teddybears are playing live (these guys are huge, and we cannot believe they are playing for us), plus there will be earlier performances by Stylofone, Bryan Scary and Roman Candle - it’s going to be an amazing night - and if you get on the guest list, there is no cover!! We are starting earlier though - with doors opening at 8.30…
After the Teddybears performance, we’ll be joined by the Ruff Kids (Steve Valentine, Sean Fightcats and Mike Nouveau), so it’s going to get a little crazy in the ballroom this week.

Two-4-One House Vodka Drinks from 8.30 to 9.30

Hosted by Tom & Alejandro, Ruben & Noel, Dagny, May & Dimitry.

The beginning of Souvenirs sounds like a dirty projector gearing up in a damp, dusty theater on Sunset Blvd circa 1960s. The murky surrondings does nothing to dampen the beautiful image it projects. The vocal stylings of Midnight Movies, Gena Olivier, is very indebt to Nico but clearly works very well with this band. Not as bleak as the Iconic Blonde’s, there’s always a tinge of hope carrying each of Gena’s delivery. Both Souvenir and lead single, Patient Eye, place this up and coming L.A. band along the likes of the other exceptional artists that mine the film noir dreamscape À la Broadcast.

Plus residents JDH & Dave P

@ Studio B- 259 Banker St (between Calyer & Meserole), Greenpoint, BK
10pm, $8 advance tix @ Other Music and www.igetrvng.com , $10 at Door

This Friday we present the return of Optimo! In case you didn’t know, we love these guys. They are two of the best djs in the world (we don’t take that statement lightly), throw THE best party in the world every Sunday night, and consistently put out kick ass dj mixes and remixes. They always kill it on the decks, and this is their first time to Studio B! Let’s go NYC…

I agree with the Fixed guys, Optimo is one of the best DJs out there. The only party you hear Johnny Cash/Depeche Mode/Os Mutantes/Pigbag in one sequence.

The new LP from !!! has been a non-stop stomp and romp on my playlist for the past month. It’s all about the groove for this album which is something I’ve been missing lately–listening to all the Dirty Electro Anthems from France. John Pugh, the two timing !!!/LCD Soundsystem Drummer, and Justin Van Der Volgen, the two timing !!!/Out Hud (rip), have plenty of groove to give. Nic Offer slobbering spitfire vocals ain’t as annoying as on the first album. You’ve guys should know the first single Heart of Hearts by now but the rest of the album isn’t too shabby either.

!!! - Myth Takes (mp3)

This opening track literally sounds like some groovy theme to a 60’s Spy flick.

!!! - Must Be The Moon (mp3)

I would like to make the Call that Must Be the Moon has the greatest sound of 2007 so far. Brace yourself when the break down comes around cus you’re gonna hear something that sounds like Optimus Prime punching the shit outta Megatron. It’s amazing and makes an already good song to genius.
