Great display of ennui and catchy music from Sweden’s Club 8.

I’ll be honest, I find everything about this song to be mediocre at best but I love this video.

Thanks GvsB

I’m lucky enough to see a lot of concerts these days and Portland is just getting to that sweet spot of a city being able to attract great acts at intimate venues. Being able to see many bands up close has allowed me to come to a sort of conclusion, that all bands enjoy what they do, but a few of them look like being on that stage is the love of their life. I saw it once with Peter Bjorn & John and I saw it again the other night with Passion Pit. When I spoke to drummer Nate Donmoyer a couple months ago, he told me how Passion Pit’s main focus was to grow as a live act and they certainly have improved in leaps and bounds. They put on a performance that could out shine the seasoned of veterans. I included a video below, that doesn’t do them justice because they had the whole room dancing so hard I was literally being thrown off the floor, the whole place turned into one giant trampoline. Look for more Passion Pit in a 10 page feature in Letter to Jane Magazine, coming soon!

This Monday is going slow and I needed a pick me up, luckily Apse just released a video for their great single 3.1. Not to any upcoming rockers out there, start your single off with a bass line like this and you’ll have me hooked, every time. You can find out more about Apse here.

It’s a short clip and there’s a good chance you’ve already seen this, but it got a pretty good laugh out of me.
