Amazing Baby have had an upgrade

After opening for MGMT and Bloc Party, all that was left for Amazing Baby to do to finalise their pre-album buzz was a suitably quirky music video in a familiar location. Here it is:

The video is similar to the song in its gooey unpredictability, with slam dunked crosses, purple glows, emotional Egyptians, rainbow breath, and curious dogs, all viewed through the mesh fence of a basketball court.

Here is an older song that shares the slippery, sloppy vibe:

Invisible Palace

Their Invisible Fucking Cross EP is still available on their site here, more details about Amazing Baby here.

That's Amazing Baby!

Amazing Baby are another Brookyln band hopping on the psychedelic-rock-pop MGMT train, and they are riding it large. The band, formed by Simon O’Connor and Will Roan in late 2007, have been touring all this year, playing songs from their Invisible Fucking Cross EP, which is available for free on their website. The four tracks: "Pump Your Brakes", "The Narwhal", "Supreme Being", and "Head Dress" all share a similar liquid vibe and sense of scale, with guitar riffs overlaying reverb-drenched backing vocals and spacey melodies.

Pump Your Brakes

Despite being around for a ridiculously short amount of time they have already supported the likes of Bloc Party, and this November are journeying over to the UK to play with MGMT. After touring and supporting, they plan to record an album with Claudius Mittendorfer, who has worked with Muse and Interpol.

Here is a video of them playing in a small dark place:

Parklife, Melbourne - 2008

Tonight - Yuksek

Yuksek playing his new single "Tonight." Throughout the set Pierre-Alexandre Busson looked slightly frustrated, probably due to his mic not working for half the set.

Phantom Pt.II (Soulwax Nite Version) - Justice

Soulwax

Soulwax were absolutely amazing, they played their versions of Robot Rock, Phantom Pt. II and also the track with the lyrics "Do you know where your teenager is at five o' clock in the morning? Some say they come looking drugs, dirty dancing, and pounding, pounding techno music. It's 5AM do you know where your children are? Well things have changed, today the question for parents is it's 10AM, do you know where your children are?"

Kids (Soulwax Nite Version) - MGMT



The Worm (Erol Alkan Remix) - ZZT



Mind Dimension - Tiga

2 Many Dj's were also superb, dropping tracks new and old, from the Soulwax Nite Version of MGMT's Kids to tracks such as Tiga's "Mind Dimension" and ZZT's "The Worm".
