Vodpod videos no longer available.
Well here’s another video of Justice talking about their crazy ass DVD coming out entitled A Cross The Universe. It’s due out December 9th as a Live DVD/CD combo and promises to be a great release. According to these guys they filmed over 200 hours of footage and narrowed it down to just one hour for the DVD (for all of you doing rapid math that’s .5% of the footage). This shit looks like it’s going to be crazy, I know I’m going out to get it.

Get Your Georgie Fruit On

Posted in Music News with tags , , on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 by Erik Burg

Georgie Fruit, the alter ego of Of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes, and his sex crazed erotic fantasy world have been brought to the masses on Of Montreal’s new tour in support of the modern day Ziggy Stardust album Skeletal Lamping. Not only is the album release over the top (coming packaged with a shirt, lamp, sticker, bag, etc.) and can be found at Polyvinyl Records, but the new stage set is absolutely ridiculous. Of Montreal has been known to put on a pretty elaborate show in the past (i.e. dumping applesauce on the crowd) but the horse-riding, dancer choreographed, and gallow-filled stage set at their show in New York this past weekend takes the cake. Barnes and Co. played 25 songs, but what’s more impressive may be the 30 costume changes throughout. Lucky for us midwesterners, Of Montreal will take their traveling circus of a stage to both Minneapolis on October 25th (which yours truly has tickets to) and to Milwaukee the next night. Get your tickets for the First Ave show here or for the performance at the Pabst Theatre in Milwaukee here. Don’t miss an opportunity to see this once in a life-time spectacle, or twice in a life-time if you were as scenester in the 80’s and a big Bowie fan.    

p.s. Did I mention that they covered “Smells Like Teen Spirit” for an encore? well yeah, they did.
