Jam of the Day – Bear Hands Entertains High Society for FNO 2011

Bear Hands is back and ready to party with their latest high-octane offering “High Society,” the second single off their debut LP Burning Bush Supper Club. In keeping with the song’s title, the band is performing tonight at Rockefeller Center as part of Fashion’s Night Out 2011, along with White Rabbits and Lissy Trullie (and DJ sets from DJ Keiichiro throughout the evening). Come mingle with fashion icons and whatnot (or at least hear some great live music). There’s even a tent in case it starts raining again!

For the “High Society” video, guitarist Ted Feldman, along with co-director Andrei Bowden-Schwartz, used four computers and 10,000 images of the band playing live to create the kaleidoscope effect of the amalgamated scenes, as Feldman explained to Mashable in a recent interview. Keep the hits coming, lads.

Live Video – @BearHandsBand Performing NEW Song “Giants” at Cantora Records Official SXSW 2011 Showcase

In case you haven’t been able to see Bear Hands recently, they have started to play a new song live called “Giants.” This is probably my new favorite Bear Hands song, and ya’ll need to get ready for the dopeness when these guys record their next album.

This recording is from their set at the Cantora Records Official SXSW 2011 Showcase down at The Driskill Hotel in Austin, TX, where they shared the stage with Superhumanoids, Slam Donahue, Reptar, Secret Music, and Computer Magic. Take notes!

Featured Video – Bear Hands “Crime Pays”

Pitchfork debuted the new video for “Crime Pays” from Bear Hands today, featuring a special guest appearance by what appears to be Mike Tyson at the boxing match! Also, I really enjoy the ending. Take the camera and run little man!

Don’t Forget: Twin Shadow Drops Debut LP, Video for “Castles in the Snow”

On September 28, George Lewis, Jr. A/K/A Twin Shadow‘s much-anticipated debut LP Forget was released on Terrible Records here in the US (the album will be released in the UK on November 15 on 4AD). Obviously, we already knew this joint was hot. Pitchfork apparently agrees, giving the album an 8.4 in their review today. Go download this if you haven’t already!

Interestingly enough, this is not as *HIGH* as the score they gave the new Das Racist mixtape.

Check out the official video for “Castles in the Snow,” which continues in the same “was this shot in early ’84” vein as the previous video for “Slow.”
