Frog Eyes and Sunset Rubdown (despite having border problems) will be taking over Mercury Lounge two nights this week. Sunset Rubdown is Wolf Parade keyboardist Spencer Krug's side project, and he produced a beautiful album this year entitled, Shut Up I Am Dreaming. It got an 8.6 on Pitchfork, just a few points below last years Wolf Parade rating. Anyway, point is...it's good. If you go to the show tonight you can catch Beirut as......

We are tired and just a teeny bit hungover, so we'll keep this short. Thanks to everyone for coming out last night! And of course to Bravo Silva, Snowden, the Cloud Room and the Capitol Years for playing some great sets and keeping us on our feet - and the deejays for keeping us on dancing (well, we were dancing on the inside). Also thanks to Aziz Ansari for making us laugh. If you......

Come join us TONIGHT at our Movable Hype Anniversary Show. Just a year ago we threw our first show/concert/party at the Knitting Factory. Since then we've actually thrown 4 more there, tonight is the 5th. In addition we've had a slightly smaller version of the show at Pianos and one comedy (Laughable Hype) show at Tonic.

So we've been waiting to confirm our last band for Movable Hype 5.0 and we can now do so. Since we wanted to bring back 3 acts from previous shows we chose our favorites, one of which was so busy touring Europe with the Editors and We Are Scientists, playing shows with Maximo Park and hosting Mtv's Subterranean that it took them a while to fit us in, but alas, they finally have...so here's who......
