Hipster: The Dead End of Western Civilization

Those crazy kids

Remember when you were too young to buy alcohol?

These kids have to live with that everyday until they grow up.

in the meantime they can be buzzworthy teens that sneak into the clubs.

Late of the Pier

are an English four-piece band from Castle Donington, currently signed to Parlophone Records. They have released four singles to date (Space and the Woods/Heartbeat, Bathroom Gurgle/VW, The Bears are Coming and the re-recorded album version of Space and the Woods, teamed with Focker for a double A-side). Their album “Fantasy Black Channel” was released on 11th August, with the album version of “Heartbeat” released a week prior to it.

They have garnered a large teenage fanbase from playing All Ages club nights, even playing the first ever Underage Festival, in August of 2007.

Lead singer Samuel Eastgate also has a side-project, La Priest, often written incorrectly as LA Priest. He has numerous productions and has made several remixes, as well as having the song “Engine” being remixed by Erol Alkan and released via Erol’s Phantasy Sound label.

A special gift from Eliot Lipp

Not sure if you remember back in the day when Eliot Lipp came through Houston. 

well he’s on his way back to the region of Texas, and you can catch him in Austin on

LOVEFOXXX got BJORKed

Is it me? Or does it seem like LOVEFOXXX (lead vocalist of CSS) is gettin all Bjork on us? This past weekend, the All Points West Festival took place and one might’ve mistaken the CSS performance as a surprise Bjork set. Wrong, it was lady LOVEFOXXX getting all zaned out and seems to be mocking Bjork’s weirdness. Check it out for yourselves.

 

APWfest

Can you tell who is who??

LOVEFOXXX @ Rise

 

Is Bjork Lovefoxxx’s greatest inspiration? Will lady Lovefoxxx outdo Bjork in the near future? Will she wear a swan dress or something similar next? Be crowned the next WeirdoQueen?

Hmmmm only time will tell.
