'Media' gazer

 

Fresh from playing two high-energy shows at the Mercury Lounge... here is the LA-based trio Clarion with "Media Mediocracy."

Start me up

 

Local band Gogol Bordello has a new album, titled We Mean It, Man!, due out on Feb. 13. 

Ahead of that is "Ignition" (with a video featuring Liev Schreiber), which adds some electronic layers to the band's usual gypsy punk sound.

Night moves

 

The above video for "Ascension" is from the recently released debut album by the Manchester, UK, duo Nightbus — an eclectic mix of moody nocturnal pop and post-punk.

Dog day afternoon

 

Local band Earth Dad — featuring at least two lifelong East Village residents — recently released a single titled "Good Dog" ... check out the above video with some very familiar locales.

You can find their music on Bandcamp. (And today is Bandcamp Friday — where the music platform waives its revenue share for the day.)
