Yes, your threat to aunt Josephine that she’d understand you if she only listened to Agent Ribbons, or your suspicion that your cousins would probably be a lot cooler if they checked out Sugar & Gold, or thoughts about how your mom probably would totally dig Bart Davenport?

Bay Area shows this weekend with Foxtails Brigade, Yip Deceiver & Papercuts!

yip deceiver live!A series of great shows this weekend in the Bay Area, check it out!

First, on Friday 12/2, Yip Deceiver (see photo) rolls into Oakland for a FREE show at the Uptown, part of the First Friday Art Murmur. The band features members of Sugar & Gold as well as of Montreal, and their live show is always a rocks off dance party. For more info on the show, check the Event page, here.

The same night in San Francisco (Friday, 12/2), chanteuse extraordinaire Laura Weinbach and her band Foxtails Brigade open a very special show for the one and only Jane Birkin at the Regency Ballroom. For information and advance tickets, click here. The following night, Saturday December 3rd, Foxtails Brigade head over to the Mission for an intimate show at Viracocha. Both shows will be the debut of the brand new Foxtails Brigade Christmas CD, so be sure to head out to one or both shows to pick up a copy! For more info on both shows, check the event page here.

Are we done yet? Not a chance! Also on Saturday, December 3rd, Papercuts headline a great lineup at the Rickshaw Stop! Noise Pop Presents Papercuts, with Dominant Legs and Tim Cohen’s Magic Trick. This is a rare SF performance for Papercuts, and with these great acts opening, this is not a show to miss. Advance tickets are recommended as this show will likely sell out. Get them here.

Finally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that the Agent Ribbons Brooklyn residency ALSO starts this Friday, with 5 shows in our fave NYC Borough, plus a quick run upstate for a show at Bard College. For the full itinerary, click here!

Sugar & Gold Release New Video!

It’s the dog days of summer and we’re all doing what we can to beat the heat. For some, it’s a run through the sprinklers, and for others, it’s a couple frosty ones down by the river. Well Sugar & Gold have a different idea. What about a warehouse party with a bunch of lame hipsters getting broken up by a werewolf rampage? Cold as ice!

Yes. Dance pop masters Sugar & Gold have just wrapped a new video, and it is all about keeping cool….but not too cool, otherwise there could be some blood on the dance floor….quite literally! First the band handed off their track Feels Like Fire (from their 2010 album Get Wet!) to their friend Nastique (AKA Dani Deluna, up-and-coming NYC DJ) for a 4 on the floor makeover. The original cut was already pretty hard, but the Nastique treatment takes it to a whole ‘nother level. You can find her version of Feels Like Fire, along with a bunch of other great remixes by the likes of Yip Deceiver, Sorcerer, and Maus Haus on Sugar & Gold’s Bodyaches Remix EP, released digitally earlier this year.

The track complete, S&G then hooked up with their friends over at Rebus101 Films to create the visual. And the resulting video for the Feels Like Fire remix is a tongue-in-cheek visit to a warehouse full of evil hipsters…bored to death until a werewolf tears up the party! Beware the concoction the creepy pharmacist hands you, this is a killer high. And yeah, you may never try to take a cell-phone picture of someone writhing on the dance floor ever again.

We Are All Awesome!

We Are All AwesomeEvery once in a while, we at Antenna Farm are reminded of how lucky we are to be doing what we’re doing: working with some of the most talented musicians and creative artists we know, doing our small part to bring their work to the world at large. A little gushy, maybe, but what can I say, Agent Ribbons just rolled through town last night and it was, as usual, incredible. So forgive us if the language becomes a bit…florid. We’re in mid-transcendence here!

Over the years, it has been our pleasure to release debut releases from the likes of Papercuts, The Donkeys,The Botticellis, Still Flyin’ and Sugar & Gold, as well as albums from Bart Davenport, Social Studies, Agent Ribbons and many more. With a brand new album from Foxtails Brigade, we are going strong.

And with that, we are pleased to release a brand new compilation of some of our favorite tracks from the last few years. We Are All Awesome is a love letter back to these great musicians and a tribute to their craft. Featuring some of our favorite cuts from the last few years worth of AF releases, this is a great way to get yourself acquainted, or re-acquainted with the Antenna Farm catalog. And best of all, it can be yours for free!

Already charting on a bunch of great radio stations across the US, including (just to name a few!)  KFAI, KDVS, KVCU, KGNU, WRUW, KUCR, KALX, WNYU, KCSB, KTCV, KCPR (#1, baby!) & KXLU, this little collection is just the thing to help you kick off your summer jam.

And yeah, I said it, FREE. Just scroll over to the right side of this page and sign up for our mailing list (we send out updates about once a month, with tour info, free music offers, and more….and we will never share your email with anyone!) for a free, instant download of this great 15 song collection including the artists above and more! For more information about We Are All Awesome and info on getting a free CD version (just pay shipping!) click here.

SXSW 2011 Wrap Up!

Ah yes, another SXSW has come and gone, a million excellent performances, beers, and gray tacos consumed, and the out of towners have departed, leaving the Austinites to clean up the mess. We at Antenna Farm had a great time, even if we don’t have stories of imminent riots or artist-on-crowd violence to share…

First off, a hearty thanks to The Ghost Room, our new favorite venue in Austin, who hosted the Antenna Farm showcase. What a great room, super comfortable, and great sound. Kudos! A big thanks to Yip Deceiver and Judgement Day, who rounded out our showcase. And also a huge thanks to the folks at Nail, Wiretap, SF Embassy, SFitAll, the Rheeperbahn, and everyone else who invited AF artists to play their events. Rager!

But back to the performances. I suppose I could discuss them, but why bother when the videographers were so copious! Below are three short vids from the AF & Friends showcase, featuring Agent Ribbons, Social Studies, and Sugar & Gold, shot by the inimitable Bob Boilen of NPR. And the 4th video is a special performance by Foxtails Brigade, shot at the lovely Hotel Driskill by our friends at WomensRadio. Enjoy!
