El Guincho’s “Bombay” video (NSFW)
This came out about 3 weeks ago, but I recently got to see it. El Guincho‘s “Bombay” is entrancing, odd and heavily features nudity (thus the NSFW warning).
Directed by Nicolás Méndez.
Produced by CANADA (lawebdecanada.com)

Oh, and totally unrelated, but it popped up on my RSS feed… TOOL frontman Maynard James Keenan‘s side project, PUSCIFER, will perform at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on April 4, 2009. He just got off a three-day stint at the Pearl in Las Vegas’ Palms Casino. Maybe this one-city-being-booked-at-a-time tour will come my way sometime before 2012. :)

Extreme… and a Naked Video
Double-packed post… unrelated topics (Extreme & nakedness)… what else is new? For nakedness, skip to the bottom…
First off… yes, I like Extreme. The band from the early 90s. They were awesome. No regrets. They were so much artier than what aired on the radio. I saw them in 1995 (Bogart’s in Cincinnati), and it was one of my favorite shows… EVER. They broke up later that year (or in early 1996).
Anyway, they’re back together. New album, new tour. I’ll be flying to Cincinnati (on SkyMiles) to see them at the Union Center Blvd Bash on Sunday, August 10th… as my bro lives, like, 2 miles from there. They just put out a press release for their upcoming album…
(June 9, 2008 ) New York, NY – This summer, EXTREME will release Saudades de Rock (pronounced “sow-dodge“), their first studio album in thirteen years which will coincide with their first world tour in over twelve years. Saudades de Rock will be released on August 12th on Open E Records and distributed by Fontana.
The iconic rock foursome – vocalist Gary Cherone, guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, bassist Pat Badger and new drummer Kevin Figueiredo – recorded their fifth studio offering at NRG Studios in Los Angeles with Bettencourt at the helm as producer and mixer. Saudades de Rock boasts 13 tracks, including the infectious roar of “Star,” the groove-laden, swagger of “King”, a raw funk rock anthem called “Learn To Love”, and the expressive ballad “Ghost.”
“‘Saudades’ was always a beautiful word to me,” Bettencourt explains about the Portuguese album moniker. “It expresses a longing; an underlying sadness for something or someone that’s been missing in your life, and never quite sure if it will ever return. In this case, for us, it’s Rock and Roll. Saudades de Rock.”
Gary Cherone adds, “I like how it expresses that longing we’ve been feeling to play for our fans and be together again.”
The multi-platinum, Boston-bred band’s 2008 ‘TAKE US ALIVE’ world tour gets underway on July 29th at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. and will be anchored by a hometown gig two days later at the Bank of America Pavilion. In advance of the tour, Extreme will be a co-headliner on July 11th at the five day Rocklahoma Festival in Pryor, OK.

And now for the nakedness…
This video is brought to you by the Brighton Port Authority (a pseudonym for Fatboy Slim)… it is both clever, funny, and catchy… and nude… but cleverly so…

the Sigur Rós announcement (27 May 08)
OK, well, the Sigur Rós announcement isn’t that the album is called ñækíð εή а ŧræé… it’s called Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (eh, I was close, huh?), and it’ll be out June 24th in the U.S. The album name means “With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly.” Seriously. Go HERE for more info on the album. Pre-ordering begins June 2nd from sigurros.com.
So, MSIEVSE would be the shorthand for the album? Quality. Or maybe just Medsud…

Sigur Rós’ new album is called… “ñækíð εή а ŧræé” …?
Naked, tree-dwelling Icelandic band Sigur Rós will have “an important announcement” on sigurros.com on Tuesday, May 27th (noon UK, 7am EST, 4am PST)…
My guesses for what the news is all about…
- They found someone with a ladder; so they expect to come down from the tree shortly.
- They’re dissolving and forming two separate KISS cover bands.
- They are only touring cities next time that have active volcanoes within 20 miles of the stage.
- Their new reality television show got picked up by ABC. It’s about 4 guys who live in the same house, and get along really, really well. In the premiere episode, a fight almost breaks out when they fight over who’s going to wash the dishes. The resolve it by all pitching in… aw….
- They are announcing their next album name and release date… (the most likely guess)

meaty Reptet, naked Raquy, and Gratuitous French Fries
REPTET. Great jazz band that lives about 4.5 hours too far away from me. Alas, they’ve been down this way (Eugene) from their way (Seattle) once lately (see review here). Great improvisors, great songwriters, great musicians. They’ve got a new album out. It’s great. It’s called Chicken or Beef?. My ears aren’t vegetarians. It’s quite delicious.
email “reptet @ hotmail (.) com” to see how to get ahold of a copy of Chicken or Beef?

RAQUY and the Cavemen… tonight at Cozmic Pizza… look for a review tomorrow. Seen her and her band of misfits a few times in Cincinnati. They’re always a treat, plus they’ve put out 2 CDs since we last saw ’em… gather together in a cave and groove with a pict…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Free French Fries are the opener for Peter Mulvey who is the opener for Patty Larkin… Thursday at WOW Hall. Peter Mulvey is one of my favorite singer-songwriters… ever. Great vocals, great guitarist (and his backing guitarist Goody is also wicked good, but not with him on this tour). Oh, and all you coupon haters can hate my cajun french fry fingers… foo! So, yeah, it’s all about literally free french fries via coupon (from The Vintage, who makes great cajun french fries & food and has great local beer on tap), not a band named Free French Fries. Though that would be cool in its own right… anyway, look for a review on Friday…
