Darwin Deez, Mixel Pixel and more
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
7:00 PM 18+
Tickets Available Here
DARWIN DEEZ
The effectiveness of Darwin Deez’ droplets of pop genius lie in their/his/hir carefully articulated guitar harmonies and infectious beats. Darwin Smith, former Creaky Boards guitarist and Meher Baba follower, makes use of every trope within the spectrum of disco and post-punk, formatting them into stripped down but satisfying numbers. Choreographed dance routines are standard for his notoriously colorful live sets. Bill Pearis of BrooklynVegan called them “hard to dislike,” and NME found his self-titled debut “easy to fall in love with.” He currently works indie imprints Lucky Number Music and Rough Trade Records (UK).
SCARY MANSION
Scary Mansion is the musical wing of Leah Hayes’ multimedia empire. The attractive trio articulates her bipolar folk-pop that ranges from danceable to gothy. Her wavering yet strong voice regularly garners comparison to Cat Power and Morrissey. Music Omh writes of her album Make Me Cry, “Her background is in art and anti-folk, so one might have expected to find an (over)abundance of acoustic quirkiness in this, her latest incarnation. But what we get is something more immediate and accessible.”
MIXEL PIXEL
The prolific Rob Coradetti was based in rural Minnesota and collaborating through the mail during the 90’s, but thankfully he moved to the East Coast in 2000 to turn his vision into Mixel Pixel. The trio sounds like the Pixies digitized by the late 80’s most advanced technology. Their alternative but poppy sound is more for suitable trip-outs than dance-offs, and they’ve fitted their music accordingly with some mindblowing visuals and spiritually uplifting lyrics. They have shared the stage with They Might Be Giants, Grizzly Bear, Of Montreal, and Man Man to name a few. According to Qromag, “To fans of indietronica and indie-pop, this is the continuation of a beauuuuuuu-tiful friendship….”
GORDON VOIDWELL
Post-modern head music from a South Bronx prodigy should sound something like Kurtis Blow jamming with Depeche Mode and Parliament. In that respect, Gordon Voidwell (aka Will Johnson) succeeds in spades, and then some. Their neodisco grooves are unashamedly funky, but they’re also sharp and concise enough for indie nerds, not to mention swathed in psychedelia, social commentary and irony. His singles on Cantora Records have been lovingly received by the media and the underground alike, as Voidwell is now a professed favorite of Mark Ronson and Das Racist.

Quintron, Jeff The Brotherhood, and Ava Luna coming in June!
Sunday, June 13, 2010
8:00 PM 18+
TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE
QUINTRON & MISS PUSSYCAT
Not much is known about the mysterious Quintron, aside from his bizarre and spectacular talents. Returning to the Party House for the third time, his expert organ keyboard and organ work pairs up with swampy electro grooves to create rhythm and blues for the 23rd century. And while he might be a musical Stephen Hawking, he’s an instrumental Dr. Moreau. Quintron brings with him several of his own hybrid musical inventions designed specifically for booty-thumping Cajun jams.
Quintron’s partner in crime, Miss Pussycat, created some legal issues for us when she raised the roof with her puppet show, posing a structural risk. We had to close the venue for three months in order to adjust the columns and foundation, meanwhile creating an elaborate scheme in collaboration with the media to keep up the appearance of a bustling venue. We are deeply ashamed, and we think a third performance is the right way to celebrate. Miss Pussycat is the founder of the Pussycat Cavern theater and proprietor of Spellcaster Lodge in New Orleans. This may be a puppet show but it’s realer than real life.
JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD
The psychedelic leaning proto-grunge of JEFF The Bortherhood is, for all its grittiness, incredibly tight and cohesive, each riff, hi-hat line and guitar effect falling perfectly into place. Their affinity for danceability makes them a powerhouse of modern garage, though they number only two members who are also real life biological brothers. Popmatters praises their 2010 album Heavy Days, saying, “With Jake on guitar and vocals and Jamin on drums, the brothers fuse together hard psych, muscular power-pop, and punchy punk in order to spit out a melodic speedball of pure rock ‘n’ roll energy.”
AVA LUNA
Ava Luna’s sound is hard to pin down, but “post-punk space-funk” might describe their incorporation of sensuous harmonies fused with jagged, urban grooves. The principle songwriter, vocalist Carlos Hernandez, builds understated and deceptively complex arrangements, recalling the likes of Stevie Wonder, Chad Hugo, and TLC at their best. The L Magazine named them one of the 8 Band You Need To Hear, saying, “Nothing is ever really front and center here, rather pushed just off to the side, briefly passing through your periphery and then disappearing just moments before popping up somewhere else entirely, and the result is some of the most immediately engaging and smart music currently coming from our city.”
