1973 | Very Superstitious | Writing's on the Wall

Check out the kid at the top of the stairs headbangin' like there's no tomorrow. Nothing short of amazing, Stevie Wonder and the band are tearin' it up on the set of Sesame Street in 1973.

NO AGE | NOUNS | MAY 6, 2008

The Los Angeles band No Age is about to release their new album "Nouns" on Sub Pop this coming Tuesday, May 6. It's really freakin' good.... and interesting. I guess if you combine My Bloody Valentine with maybe a bit of seBADoh's experimental punk-bits you can kind of get an idea of what it sounds like. Or you can head over to their Myspace site and stream the whole album for free.

The Prospector | Thursday | 05/01/08

Other stuff: We recently did some live performances and an interview with the good people at Vlaze TV. Check them out by clicking here. Instead of listing off some of the bands that have been in the player lately we thought we'd step it up a bit and let you listen to them for yourself..... Our first ever CoCo B's Basement Songs Mix is here:

One Night Only - David Lee Roth w/ The Beatles

Ummmm..... You'll just have to watch it to understand.

IO Echo, Gran Ronde & CoCo B's - Thurs. 04/10/08

We're playing a show this Thursday, 04/10/08, at Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa with IO Echo and Gran Ronde. We played with Gran Ronde once before at Detroit Bar and they burned the house down. Still trying to figure out how they get their keyboard sounds from an iPod.

In the CoCo B's player lately are the new releases by Tokyo Police Club, Foals, Digitalism & MGMT.

New Order | Ceremony (1981) Live in NYC

"A change in musical direction was brought about when New Order visited New York City in 1981. The band immersed themselves in the New York dance scene and were introduced to postdisco, Latin freestyle, and electro. Additionally, the band had taken to listening to Italian disco to cheer themselves up, while Morris taught himself drum programming. The singles that followed, "Everything's Gone Green" and "Temptation", indicated the change in direction toward dance music" (Wikipedia).

CoCo B's: Remixes by Half Tiger | Now on iTunes

Two of our songs, "Modern Lover" & "I Live in L.A.," were recently remixed by our friends Half Tiger in the UK and are now available worldwide on iTunes. You can listen to the songs now by going to our Myspace, Facebook, Virb or iLike pages. And, you can hear more of the fantastic Half Tiger by clicking here.

Our buddy Alex Newport recently mixed a new song, "Long Division," for the forthcoming Death Cab for Cutie album that a lot of people are anxiously awaiting to hear. So far they've released a single, "I Will Possess Your Heart" from the album that sounds way different than their previous stuff. Check it out at their Myspace.

Airborne Toxic Event, CoCo B's & The Soft Hands - Thurs. 03/27/08

Last year we played a show at Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa with Airborne Toxic Event and all of us were completely blown away. So we're really looking forward to playing with them again and The Soft Hands on Thursday, 03/27/08 at Sachi in Long Beach. You can get advance tiks by clicking here.

The other day Joe mentioned a new band he heard called The Coast and said they reminded him of Rogue Wave, Tokyo Police Club & maybe bit of The Ocean Blue. Found out these guys are from Toronto, Canada and currently on tour. They sound fantastic and will be at The Silverlake Lounge in Los Angeles this Monday, 03/24/08. You can stream their whole album at their myspace.

Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell

Tokyo Police Club's previous releases were in constant rotation in the player throughout last year, so it's actually kinda exciting to hear new stuff from them is on the way. Their first full length album is set to be released in the U.S., Canada and Australia on April 22 and in Europe on May 5, 2008. They've uploaded a new song from the album onto their myspace called "In a Cave," it's super catchy and well worth the trip over there.

We decided to create some Merch using this website called Zazzle that has partnered with Myspace and kinda went a little nuts with it. We weren't too sure about the quality and ordered some of the stuff ourselves and it actually turned out top notch! We were really impressed. CoCo B's mousepads, buttons, T-Shirts, etc.... even coffee mugs. Pretty funny.

R.E.M.'s New Album - Accelerate - 04/01/08

From NPR.org "Coming out of a post-punk world that had little tolerance for pop, R.E.M. has spent 25 years as the bastion of pop music with a weird glimmer in its eye. Hear the legendary rock band perform a full concert at SXSW, webcast live on NPR.org from Stubbs in Austin, Tex., on Wednesday, March 12."

Wombats | Aanchors Aaweigh | CoCo B's = 03/11/08

We're real excited to be playing a show with The Wombats from the UK this Tuesday, 03/11/08, at Spaceland in Los Angeles.

I heard today that Danger Mouse will be producing the new Beck record? Call me crazy, but that's going to be one anticipated release. Is there anyone Danger Mouse hasn't worked with yet? I didn't know he worked with Sparklehorse / Mark Linkous' latest album "Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain," where have I been?
