YES!!!  I’ve been super stoked all day cuz I am in love with this band.  I don’t think I’ve been this stoked about a band since I did that post on P-Model and Plastics… Most of the new music I’ve heard lately has taken me on a one way trip to frown town, but I discovered this band yesterday and i was ACTUALLY SMILING at work yesterday while i hummed these songs in my head.  And, unlike P-Model and Plastics, this band will be releasing another album sometime this year!

So anyway, Urbangarde’s sound reminds me a bit of Plus-Tech Squeeze Box, but they are not quite as eclectic.  Maybe even a little like MacDonald Duck Eclair… (Another current LYM fave).  The sound of Urbangarde relies on overstimulation and slightly dark, very epic sounding songs.  Ugh I cannot explain this at all.  Here are some videos.  DID I MENTION THE VIDEOS?!?!  Do yourself a favor, watch these.  Especially “Don’t Take Off Your Sailor Fuku”.  Gross.  and rad.

DON’T TAKE OFF YOUR SAILOR FUKU

WATERDROP SYNDROMES

Also, check out their website for more ginchy stuff.

Or, you can do what i did and buy their record from japanfiles.com

As promised, here are the photos & videos from MMNY! Yay!!!

Roadside Graves was so fun I almost bought a beer!

And Fan-Tan was dreamy!

Finally, this is a video of us. It’s the longest video ever! I couldn’t decide which clips to post — so I mushed all the clear shots of -004 (and some of our friends) together! It’s so rare that anyone gets to see him on stage. Plus, I think the choppiness really captures the essence of our set with all the equipment malfunctions. ^_^

Starring: -004!!! also featuring: Naked Highway, J’aime and I, Backlights, The Last King of England, and i.HUG!

Look at how -004 moves! Amazing!

-003 & -004 have been busy recording at HQ-MNH:

-004 aglow

The command center

I know, the design of our command center is freaking amazing. This is our inspiration. (btw, if you have a cheap not-smelly practice space with a/c and want to share, please email us!)

-001 & -003 have been scheming as well. It sounds like Neon Fever (it’s sooooo good! click it! & click on the link in SOUND/AUDIO to listen!).

As for me, I’ve been busy eating cake & watching Dexter. Music-making is for boys! ^_^ I’ll post MMNY videos by the end of the week!
