Real excited to finally catch Las Vegas' hidden gem Afghan Raiders. While the duo has a few deservedly blog-hyped remixes under their belt (check their excellent take on The Faint's Mirror Error), it's their original work that we are most excited about -- Solid Gold and Admiral's Doorbell simply bang, and we cannot wait to see both laid down live.
The style is a bit reminiscent of Germany's excellent Digitalism, but the songwriting here feels more like that of a fully realized band than a bloghouse clone.

Self described "thug-house" producer Dances With White Girls headline the night... not blown away here, but should be solid at the always dancey Blowup.
No reason to miss this no-cover microkorg party at Farley’s coffee in Potrero Hill. We caught Boyz IV Men opening for Religious Girls a couple weeks back and were impressed by the raw energy of their dance-friendly set. As we previously noted, the sound reminds us of the stellar synthpop currently coming out of Portland – shit would work just as well in a basement on a Tuesday as it would at Mezzanine on a Saturday. Expect great things from these guys.
Casy & Brian likely need no further introduction… the oft-mentioned duo is poised to explode on the scene after their summer tour, so this could be the last chance to catch them in house party mode. If you can’t make it out this time, be sure to catch them later this month at Kimo’s.
…and to sweeten the deal, word is complimentary booze will be flowing. Party starts at 6.
As previously noted, Oakland's Boyz IV Men are fucking solid... Remind us a bit of the excellent synth heavy/dancey shit coming out of Portland. These dudes can start a dancefest in a bookstore, so House of Nostromo Friday should be hot. Is saying "post punk electropop" totally douchey? If so, disregard.
With epicsauce favorite Religious Girls rounding out the bill, we may just have to make our quarterly visit to the East Bay two days early (sorry Dad!).
