TMAP INTERVIEW: Southeast Engine
Appalachian Garage-Folk Comes to Brooklyn The thinking man’s garage-folk rockers Southeast Engine are returning to Brooklyn’s Rock Shop this Saturday in support of their latest offering, Canary. Like Titus Andronicus’ The Monitor, Canary uses old shit as lens to see new shit. As gross as that sounds, its actually pretty good. Instead of focusing on [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Le Blorr (aka Bastard Lovechild of Rock n’ Roll)
A couple of months ago, I was stranded on a desert island with Chris (aka Cookie SugarHips) and Adam (aka Hot Damm) of Le Blorr (a sexified, shortened version of Bastard Lovechild of Rock n’ Roll). We brought a few of our favorite records with us and hung out with Marc Bolan and Freddie Mercury. [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: The Riff Raff
Last month, I sat down with a very hung over Alex Thompson of the UK band The Riff Raff for a morning chat at the Bowery Hotel. Doing an interview hung over is never an easy task – especially so early in the morning – but frontman Alex handled himself very well. In fact, he [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Jamaica
During our interview, Antoine and Flo of French band Jamaica sat on either side of me and referred to us as a ‘French sushi’ – haha! And the hilarity didn’t stop there. These guys are not only wildly funny and sarcastic – extra points for sarcasm delivered in a French accent – but they’re also [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Jangula
(Photo during interview) Last Saturday, I must have spent a good 9 or 10 hours in the company of Jangula and crew, a group of people not only sincerely caring but also wildly hilarious. They invited me over for dinner at their Bushwick pad (Korean BBQ, courtesy of manager Eugine) and poured me a couple [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Shit Robot
Shit Robot aka Marcus Lambkin has been dubbed “The Godfather of DFA” by LCD’s very own James Murphy. A resident of New York, Dublin, and Germany, Marcus gave us some insight into the making of his long-time in the making debut album, From the Cradle to the Rave. And by “long-time in the making,” we [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Blood Red Shoes
Between two shows, the busy, busy UK band Blood Red Shoes made time to sit down with us backstage at Bowery Electric and chat about their hometown, what they would be doing if they weren’t musicians, and the one Britpop band that isn’t embarrassing (can you guess?). Apologies for the loud music in the background [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Phantom Power
Have you heard of Phantom Power? Probably not. It’s okay, this is what we’re here for: to let you in on the best-kept indie secrets of New York. After chatting with Eric Littmann (aka Phantom Power),we learned his perspective on the music business, what it was like taking a class with a member of Cymbals [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Winter Gloves
Winter Gloves: Pat Sayers, Charles F., Nico Ormiston, Vincent Chalifour Montreal-based quartet Winter Gloves is like… cupcake. According to singer Charles, anyway. And we totally agree! The indie pop band is just the right amount of sweet when it comes to music and absolute sweethearts in person. Lucky for us, we got to chat with [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Warm Ghost
Paul Duncan of Warm Ghost took the time out of his busy day to chat with us about his enigmatic sound we love so much. His music is a must-listen, for it’s filled with so many different textures, creating an atmosphere both cold and warm.Read on to find out who his influences were and who’s [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW + PHOTOS: We Can’t Enjoy Ourselves
We Can’t Enjoy Ourselves is our favorite Brooklyn secret. Very new to the scene and fairly unknown, the band still gets a “We Can’t – who?” but they make the most charming, endearing music that everyone should be listening to. Singer/guitarist Giovanni Saldarriaga took a little humble tumble at the bar – ouch – but [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Murder Mystery
This was our second interview with Murder Mystery‘s frontman Jeremy Coleman. Second because the first recording got deleted – totally my fault. Shit happens, but Jeremy was charming both times. We kept things fresh on this second go and totally real by chatting on the streets of Brooklyn. Listen to him talk about his mysterious [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Bear In Heaven
Photo by Nick Heldermen Bear In Heaven‘s guitarist Adam Wills graced TMAP with a 10 minute conversation (for the record, he gave us 12 minutes, but who is counting). Read what he had to say about Icelandic volcanoes, band names, and touring with Twin Sister. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ TMAP: So can you pronounce Eyjafjallajokull, the Icelandic volcano [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Parlovr
Photo by Sharon Davies We got a chance to chat with Alex Cooper, one third of the Montreal trio Parlovr. The melodic “sloppy pop” front man was a sheer delight to speak with and we would have never guessed he was weathered by his hectic touring schedule (China —> Montreal —> NYC via bus this [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Yoko Ono
TMAP got the chance to ask Yoko Ono a few questions on what it’s like to have the # 1 dance track in the country at 77 years old and what critical success tastes like after 40 odd years of censorious reviews. Read Yoko’s surprisingly upbeat answers below! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Q+A with Yoko Ono May 4, [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Oberhofer
Enjoy TMAP’s interview with Brad Oberhofer from the band… Oberhofer. And a special thanks goes out to our favorite cyborg of an intern, Kristen, for the introduction and the fantastic questions (we are gonna make her walk through a degausser at some point to see if her hard-drive fries, so stay tuned). ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ TMAP: Hi, [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Body Language
Below is TMAP’s interview with Body Language front-woman, Angelica Bess. We caught her right before heading into the subway, so the entrevista is brief but informative; just the way we like them. Besides, we know you have a short attention span (wink). Also, enjoy a live recording of Body Language performing at SXSW. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ TMAP: [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Javelin
Javelin, the überkool electroband that counts David Byrne amongst its admirers and the MoMA as a previously played concert venue, is about to embark on a whirlwind tour with Yeasayer. I got to chat with 1/2 of the duo (you know – while they are still doing interviews with bloggers of my caliber), the charming [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Eddie Argos of Everybody Was In The French Resistance… Now: The Morning After Pills Interview
Eddie Argos, lead singer of Brit indie rock band Art Brut, has a side project along with The Bloody Arm’s Dyan Valdes called Everybody Was In The French Resistance… Now and he was gracious enough to tell me a little bit about their forthcoming album.
