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.

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.

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.

Late Guest at the Party plays Cameo Gallery tonight with Slam Donahue, Easy Over, and Ponyhof. Should be a fun show.

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.
