Dr. StrangeLuv - Sissypuss

The year is young and Dr. StrangeLuv is rockin out. I run across the music from this band a few times so now I decided to give them a proper post again. Thanks Ivan and Keon for sending me their album, "Sissypuss", so there's no excuse to give it a listen. Another folksy tunes and a new blend of soul into it. I sometimes wonder, how the hell do they even think of something like this? Very creative and unique.  The opening tracks "Be the Boss" following with "Sarcasm,Spasm!" are an indicative of the quality of the rest of the album that has a bit more arrangement and fullness than their previous works. Dr StrangeLuv is not stopping, they have recently signed with Terno Recordings, a local independent label catering music of indiepop/rock, jazz, house, techno, and everything in between.

Sissypuss is definitely an album to take a listen to especially if you need a dose of blues and laid back feel. You go home, put the CD/MP3 on, settle back with a beer or any drink and listen.

Stigmatics FM Radio debut

Here's a new band from Laguna that reminds me of The National when I heard their song "Song and Dance Man" which is my favorite by the way, something about the voice I guess. The rest of the songs have a touch of either goth rockin' blues harmonica songs like "Guilty Conscience" and "Something Got Lost Somewhere." Stigmatics is a diy home project according to Grandioso and Funboy. Having Radiohead, The Velvet Underground, Sex Pistols, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Johnny Cash and Iggy and the Stooges as their priced possession, their music combined with each style which I find kind of unique, they've created such deep soulful soundscapes. Grandioso is also a member of Dr. StrangeLuv, a side project with his brother which I will feature on the next post soon. Overall, this isn't your normal everyday alt-goth-rockish trend, the music infused with a sort of strange and soul into it.

On Aug. 9, 2010, Stigmatics will have their fm radio debut in UR105.9 FM at 8pm plus a live interview with the members, so watch out for it.
