Videos: Guadalupe Plata

Blues rock groups are a dime a dozen these days, but these guys are something ripped from the gates of hell.

Hailing from Spain, Guadalupe Plata play a mix of blues and spaghetti western style tunes while smoking a pipe packed with a suicidal mix of sex, heat and eternal damnation.

They've made some extremely badass video clips, including one incredibly NSFW where they play a live show at a strip joint, while a young lady entertains the crowd with some seriously impressive acrobatics and a very long string of beads. I can only imagine she makes her dad very proud.

They're heading to SXSW this year where hopefully someone will dig their vibe and get them touring more extensively outside of Europe, so we can go see them rip the house down (and maybe get in on some of that bead action too).

Como Una Surpiente! (NSFW!!!!!!)

Video: Unknown Mortal Orchestra – Thought Ballune

I was gonna skip the opening band for the Smith Westerns for their Toronto gig the other night 'cos I was feelin' tired/shitty.

Fucking luckily I didn't 'cos I would have missed these dudes tear the stage up.

Hailing from Portland/Auckland they play a funky, psycho-chillwave kinda rock that almost blew the headliners off the stage.

This song is from their debut EP:

Video: Odd Future Live on 'Fallon'

Nothing to say.

Just laugh, cry, scream, cum, swag.

Video: sanso-xtro – Hello Night Crow

Melissa Agate is an "alien folk" artist/mega babe, from Adelaide Australia that makes beautiful sound collages under the name sanso-xtro.

This gorgeous new clip's release coincides with the release of her album 'Fountain Fountain Joyous Mountain,' available from her website.

Video: Best Coast On 'Letterman'

Last night the fuzz pop perfectionists, Best Coast, took to the legendary stage of the David Letterman Show.

Watch their bitchin' rendition of 'Each Ane Every Day.'

Aso listen to Bethany sneak in a shout out to Snacks the now legendary cat from the band's album artwork.

Video: Times New Viking – No Room to Live

Check out this awesome new vid from shit-fi heroes/spankin' new MERGE records signatories, Times New Viking.

We can't wait till the new record drops April 25.

Video – Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti play 'Fallon'

One of our fave artists of 2010 finally got their much overdue debut TV appearance on the hilarious 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' last night.

(The episode also featured Stephen Merchant for all you Office/Extras/The Ricky Gervais show nerds)

Check the band in all their disco gear glory below:

Video: Kanye West – Monster

Best late Christmas present ever!

Yeezy's film clip for Monster has finally leaked and it's fucking phenomenal.

Wrap your eyeballs on this gem. You may also want a clean-up towel for Nicki Minaj's cameo.

Video/Mind Fuck: Neon Indian – Mind, Drips

Following on from our previous post, we are now declaring this 'Mind Fuck Monday'.

So running on that theme, please take acid/shrooms now and watch the new video for the song Mind, Drips by analogsters Neon Indian.

It was creatd by Lars Larsen (shit parents) and was created using an analogue video synthesiser. Whatever the fuck that is.

Question: How many hipsters does it take to plug in a light bulb?

Answer: It's an obscure number that you've probably have never heard of.

N-Joi.

Video: Glasser– Apply

Glasser is the name of L.A. grrrl turned Brookylnite (doesn't everyone fuckin' live in Brooklyn nowadays?!) Carmen Mesirow.

Glasser is also one of our fave new artists in 2010.

We thought we'd show you her trippy as fuck video for the highlight track from her debut album, Ring.

We also felt compelled to quote the first comment under aforementioned Youtube vid:

"This video is so trippy, when i was watching it my mom came in and thought i was doing drugs, but i told her its just youtube, the fucked up thing is my mom died 2 years ago, and i dont even own a computer" – eglbc

Roflcopter.

Videos: The Zoobombs Rocking The Fuck out

In celebration of having our fucking ear drums exploded by Japan's Zoobombs last night, we thought it would be only fair to share the decibel shattering experience with you.

WE RUV U ZOOBOMBS!!!

Video: Arcade Fire – The Suburbs

Check out the latest vid from the Arcade Fire's phenomenal album, The Suburbs.

The video was directed by some guy who's made a couple of clips here and there before. His name's Spike Jonze.

It reminds us a lot of the Smashing Pumpkins' '1979' clip, with a much darker twist.

Also, look out for a couple of the band members making cameo appearances (Hint: watch for the cops!)

Video: Twin Sister – All Around And Away We Go

Our favourite soundtrack band to a heroin overdose, Long Island's dreamy Twin Sister, have a new video out for their song 'All Around And Away We Go' from their Color Your Life EP.

Check out our interview with Twin Sister here, otherwise enjoy the vid!

Video/Free Download: The Decemberists – The King Is Dead

The Decemberists have been telling epic musical tales in various styles for around a decade now and their latest album is a waltz to the alt-country genre.

Their latest album is out early next year, but this is the firt single of it.

It features Gillian Welch, while the album features R.E.M.'s Peter Buck.

Funny seeing as 'The King Is Dead' sounds a tad like the Atlanta superstars.

Check out the vid and download the song for free below.

Video: Best Coast – Boyfriend

You've got to admit: 2010 has been pretty awesome to Best Coast. They've gone from being a little known surfy, retro band pre SXSW into a blogosphere and Pitchfork fave, into one of the biggest indie bands of the year.

And now they have a sweet video to go along with their great ditty Boyfriend.

Enjoy kids.

Video: George Harrison – Got My Mind Set On You

Happy Monday everyone!

Video: Arcade Fire – City With No Children / Month Of May (Live, Danforth Music Hall June 2010)

Theses videos were shot by Alt Con Del earlier this year at one of Arcade Fire's secret shows in Toronto pre-The Suburbs release.

Classic Video: Galaxie 500 – Strange (Live)

One of our fave bands from the 80s play a great live version of their classic song Strange.

Not often you get to see a fucking kazoo solo at the start of a song!

Video: Boards Of Canada – Dayvan Cowboy

Where the hell has this been on the radar? We only just read about this band in a recent article about their former label, Matador records.

A quick Google investigation later revealed a video fused with sky diving from hi-altitude balloons, synth sounds sucked from the 70s, a splattering of spaghetti western, and a groove to finish the whole mood.

Definitely delving into these Scots' back catalogue!

Video: Ten Kens – Spanish Fly

Chck out this amazing animated video directed by Alt Con Del pal Kareem T. Song rules too!
