Wikipedia:
In an interview with PopMatters, Fitz said that the band's musical style can be fairly described as "soul-influenced indie pop". He noted that while the band is influenced by the classic songs of the Motown and Stax record labels, the band is not trying to create an exact replica of that music.[7]

I Love This Video - Love Lost by The Temper Trap

Here... Great Song/Video
There... The Temper Trap
Where... Song is Love Lost



From Bandweblog
"The "Love Lost" video was shot over two extremely cold days on Walthamstow Marshes by sought after director Dougal Wilson whose previous work includes videos for Bat for Lashes, LCD Soundsystem and Coldplay.

"Love Lost" has been remixed by legendary electronic pioneers, Rollo and Sister Bliss who instantly fell in love with lead singer Dougie Mandagi's voice, so much so, Mandagi is a featured vocalist on the Faithless 2010 LP"

"They have arena sized songs in which layer upon layer of guitar builds up to a melancholically anthemic conclusion." - The Guardian

"Could The Temper Trap turn out to be the next Kings Of Leon? Their debut album, Conditions, has quietly sold 200,000 copies... a follow up could lead to their popularity suddenly exploding." - The Times 4/5

Influencers - R+I Creative

Here...Influencers
There...A Documentary
Where...Music, Fashion and Entertainment



INFLUENCERS is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends and creativity become contagious today in music, fashion and entertainment.

The film attempts to understand the essence of influence, what makes a person influential without taking a statistical or metric approach.

Written and Directed by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson, the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today's pop culture.

"Influencers" belongs to the new generation of short films, webdocs, which combine the documentary style and the online experience.

Syria + SUNY Purchase = Omar Souleyman @ Fall Fest

There...See His Show!
Where...Syria and the World


This past weekend, SUNY Purchase's Stoodent Center went in a frenzy over the most unique and feel good pop music. Syrian Pop-star Omar Souleyman played to the entire school, who in return cheered, danced and squeezed all together into an audience of hot mess. Souleman had a keyboardist lay down the beats with a two-tier keyboard setup. It was one of the gretest shows I have ever seen. BTW, I endlessly tried doing the shoulder dance featured in the video below. No one could figure it out haha.

Sing to Every Song. - Followup to Foals

Foals 10/1/10 w/ Esben and the Witch The show went great! I feel bad for those of you who did not come out and enjoy a little British invasion @ the Bowery Ballroom.
The concert opened with Esben and the Witch, who played a solid set. I never heard them before, but now I will have to download some of their stuff. To me they were a perfect compliment to the Foals. Not so much "math" rock for this group but more of The XX and Crystal Castles mix.
Check Em Out! --> Esben and the Witch
The Foals played non-stop and had me singing to every single song. They played everything I could have hoped for. Each song building and being more epic than the last. They even had a killer Encore!
