What better way to start off the week than by announcing the line-up for the July 27, 2008 McCarren Park Pool Party!
Brooklyn’s own MGMT will headline. Watch the uber-psychedelic video for ‘Time to Pretend’ from their first full-length studio album Oracular Spectacular here. Also check out their live performance of the song on last week’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and set your Tivo’s for their next late night appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on June 9. And make sure you’re stone-sobes if you’re going to check out their super-fun website, otherwise you’ll never escape playing with all the colorful squares, or watching the 3-D version of the ‘Time to Pretend’ video on loop.
We also have Pittsburgh’s experimental-electronica and vocodor-enthusiasts Black Moth Super Rainbow, who will be bringing their vintage synths and hopefully copies of the new Zodiac Girls 7” that just came out on Suicide Squeeze. Get it now directly from the band!
And The Ting Tings! They are so awesome. How awesome are they? Just yesterday their new single ‘That’s Not My Name’ knocked Madonna (!!!) out of the #1 spot on the UK singles charts! The new album We Started Nothing will be available for download tomorrow on iTunes (duh, they’re in a new Apple commercial), and the cd will be in stores June 3rd.
Happy Monday!
