Ready or not, electroclash has been back for a while, and I've got the fever to tell. Inside, my (podcast) deep dive on Yeah Yeah Yeahs, plus a playlist of the sleaziest revivalists of the genre.
this actually got me to buy fever to tell cause i realised the only yyy's i've heard is maps and the one song they did on glee. will report back when listened on bus tmrw.
ok so this album is solid, i think tick is solid af, maps is like duh a classic duh, i think i heard one of the other songs in bad british tv and that rules, man is like garage punk & i am into that, y control is possibly my fave tho, i am going to give this a VERY TIGHT SILVER JEANS OUT OF 10
My favorite Electroclash record was The Fitness's "Call Me for Together". In classic fashion, the band recorded one perfect LP then disappeared entirely.
ohhh yes i nearly forgot about that record. i think mine was tracy & the plastics "muscler's guide to videonics" but she definitely had another in 2004
I've been waiting for electroclash to come back since it left..no-one told me it had been rebranded as indie sleaze..i guess i missed that memo. my favourite ever electroclash club was was nag nag nag on falconberg court behind the astoria..well before they demolished it..such great vibe, crowd, tunes..and all on a wednesday night
yes, i think the term was first applied to the fashion of the era about 3 or 4 years ago (check out @indiesleaze on IG for examples, not that i need to tell you what i'm talking about), and then quickly was applied to the music, too, as these things often go hand in hand.
Thanks to you i went down an electroclash rabbit hole last night so thanks for that..and then went on to your indie sleaze playlist which I also enjoyed…

Saw Model/Actriz live - it was menacing and sweaty, so totally awesome.

awesome! the new stuff doesn't compare to the old, admittedly (I rarely say that)...I think it's too soon. but it's still fun.
Gabbie! I have a Fever To Tell sweater I need to tell you about! Love that album to bits. Looking forward to listening to the podcast ep.
UM EXCUSE ME

it's magnificent
As a former devoted attendee of the First Unitarian basement, I'm very happy for this post!
still one of my favorite venues
I’m ridiculously happy to hear this genre has returned even if it never left for me.
Just as on brand as the Karen O haircut
oh it's BEEN back... and with a ridiculous amount of contentious debate around it, which i think is just so on brand lol
Mother Feather!!
