Good people of the world, we’ve been sitting on some hot info for a while now, and we simply cannot hold onto it any longer. Next Tuesday, Philebrity is proud to be presenting to you the knuckle-draggin’ rock magic of the one and only Part Chimp. The Chimps hail from Jolly Ole Englunnnd and are signed to Mogwai’s label over there, Rock Action. This is especially fitting, as the Part Chimp sound could brusquely be described as “Mogwai on METH, dude!” We’ll let you be the judge, though, as the group’s US label, Monitor Records (also home to Oxes, Cass McCombs, etc.) has been kind enough to fork over some of the goods from the group’s latest LP, I Am Come:
Part Chimp: “War Machine” [mp3]
Part Chimp: “30 Million People” [mp3]
Amazing, and as if that weren’t enough, we’re also hosting a listening party ó with free Guinness, no doubt ó for the new album by Editors, another UK upstart. (They play the Troc with stellastarr** and The Mobius Band on April 1.) New to Editors? Not anymore you’re not:
Editors: “Blood” [mp3]
Editors: “Munich” [mp3]
Rounding out the bill, spinning shoegaze, Britnoise and god knows what else will be J. Gabriel Boylan aka DJ Funk #49. This is going to be as stone-solid a hang as has ever been given on Tuesday night, so to keep this party tight ó and to know how many tanks of Guinness we need to pull up to the M Room ó we are going to ask that you RSVP to this event at PHILLY.RSVP@GMAIL.COM. Stay tuned for updates and contests!
