Vocalist Aaron Berhens and keyboardist Thomas Turner rock Trophy's.

I just uploaded some shots of Austin, TX electronica rockers Ghostland Observatory rocking Trophy’s Bar back in 2006 (back when they could still play small clubs in Austin.  I’ll upload the definitive interview I did with them quite soon. As soon as possible. You can check out the other Ghostland photos in the blackswansongs flickr photostream here.

The interview was conducted over three different sessions. The first with both members after a show. Then the second and third parts were conducted with each member seperately. Behrens and Turner have such unique backgrounds that them at first seem like unlikely partners, but so many things had to align just perfectly that their collaboration feels more like fate during the telling of their story.

More to come…

One of my favorite bands – Air (French Band) – are prepping their new audio orgasm, getting it ready to drop in October…and it’s appropriately titled “Love 2.”

My ex and I flew up to NYC to vacation and catch Air at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden a few years back. It was our first time to see them…and the Parisians did not disappoint. Clad in all white, those dudes were like an aural aphrodisiac. Homeboys’ slinky bass lines were on point while his falsetto was pitch-perfect. They put on an amazing live show…and had the good taste to have TV on the Radio open up.

Needless to say, I’m very much looking forward to the release of Love 2 (no pun intended). Knowing Air, they’re likely to just shoot their warm electronica sounds and dope-ass beats all over your ears, and you’re gonna lick it up and ask for more.
