Pink Skull – Ritualistic Bug Use (Endless Bummer – Rvng Intl.) from Georgia on Vimeo.

Okay, so I realized I barely write about any contemporary music on ye ol’ blog, but hey, I’m a throwback kinda gal I guess. Plus there’s a whoooole lotta garbage out there…but really I think I’m just losin’ my edge, or actually it’s probably just sheer laziness. Well, whatever, the point is, is that PINK SKULL has caught my eardrums, mind, heart, and animal spirit and goddammit, I’m seriously obzezzed! They RULE man, so much!!! Like whoa.

Julian Grefe and Justin Geller are the mastermind producers behind this electronic band/duo. And they’re actually based out of Philly (!? Shouts to Full Time Fun / Actionbastrrrd / Mini Tonka / MoSharp / whoever else I’m missing), and not some awesome obscure European city, and/or Australia. Americaaaa, fuck yeah!!!!!

They just came out with their second album/EP through Philly’s main man, Dave P’s label RVNG Int’l, entitled Endless Bummer, the title being both comical and just really cool. Which is also indicative of their sound and visuals as a whole. I’m googly-eyed for these bros, what can I say. Their sound is both familiar and not so much, walking this tightrope between being accessible and still pushing boundaries and leaving room for experimentation. It’s like this morpho-mutation betwixt post-punk, industrial, electronic, psych rock and dance/disco. Soooo…basically it’s fucking badass to the max.

Us New Yorkers just missed them at Le Poisson Rouge on January 23rd! Dah!!! I could kick myself for that. But I have a feeling they’ll be comin’ round the bend soon…plus Philly’s only a heartbeat away right?! We should all make a trip.
