EV2BK Productions – Boy Crisis “L’Homme” Official Music Video

EV2BK — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 20:27:14 +0000

After over a year of sitting on this amazing video that we produced with EMOTE Productions for Boy Crisis, the funk of a thousand suns burst through the cables holding it back and the glorious “L’Homme” video found its way into the world. Will this serve as the guiding beacon bringing Boy Crisis home again and ready to party? We hope so.

Jam of the Day – School Of Seven Bells Tells Us A Ghostory

EV2BK — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 12:41:38 +0000

Named for the infamous, clandestine, possibly mythical South American pickpocket academy, School of Seven Bells released their third album, Ghostory, this Tuesday. They are playing tonight to a sold out crowd at Mercury Lounge. The band’s lineup has changed on this album and the trio is now a duo: guitarist/producer Benjamin Curtis and vocalist Alejandra Deheza. According to the band, Ghostory is about a girl, Lafaye, and the ghosts that surround her life. Shot in an old house in Dallas, this video had a creepy, haunting vibe perfect for today’s dreary forecast.

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

EV2BK — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 22:37:01 +0000

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.

Jam of the Day – The Kills Start the Future… Slowly

EV2BK — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:22:08 +0000

The Kills just finished up a two-night stint performing at Terminal 5 yesterday to promote their new album Blood Pressures which came out this Spring. This is the fourth studio album from the two-member band (Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince) released by Domino Records. Their pared down style relies on a minimalist combination of beats, guitar, and vocals with an occasional sampled effect. The result is oddly addictive.

Below check out “Future Starts Slow,” the second single from the album. And just because it’s been a while, we included a bonus Jam today – a live recording of “DNA” from Cochella this year. Hince reportedly dedicated this song to his wife, Kate Moss.

EV2BK Live Music – Bear Hands, Slam Donahue, and Emil & Friends

EV2BK — Wed, 11 May 2011 05:19:42 +0000

At the end of any great show, don’t you have that fantasy moment that the band you were grooving to all night will come out and play just one more song? Well last Friday, the audience at the Gibson Guitar Showroom in Washington, D.C. got just that. Following the Bear Hands set at the end of the show as the crowd was trickling out to the porch to enjoy their last drinks and cigarettes, Val Loper and Ted Feldman from Bear Hands, Slam Donahue, and Emil from Emil & Friends rocked out to Slam Donahue’s “It’s Scary.” The show was hosted by All Things Go and curated by Cantora Records.

Jam of the Day – Charles Bradley Sounds So Dope He Might Be James Brown’s Lost Brother

EV2BK — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 05:34:00 +0000

I’ve always been a huge fan of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and Charles Bradley is stepping up to the plate as the next ridiculously dope band to watch from Daptone Records! Seriously, this is so amazing it basically sounds like James Brown had a long-lost brother who was about to hit his stride right now. You might want to explore a few other tracks like “This Love Ain’t Big Enough” and “How Long” before you dismiss that statement. And The Menahan Street Band is just holding it down like…. “OH, BABY!”
