just found out the one of the LMG favorites, The Offering, have split up.
from the 2090 blog ...
the offering is all but no more at this point. i haven't heard from shane, chris, or brian in almost 3 weeks and i think the inevitable is total destruction. billy and i have started a new band that consists of only the two of us right now and hope to start playing live soon. it is with this that the blog of twenty ninety now officially becomes the blog of twenty ninety. if you're interested in hearing what we've been up to, take a look at our myspace (myspace.com/twentyninety) and let us know what you think.
thanks for the good times.

beta.beta
just came across these guys the other day. actually they came across LMG. regardless, this stuff is fantastic.
from their myspace page...
"beta.beta was formed in the summer of 2007 out of pure coincidence when parixit walked into the teashop that adelin was working at, and asked if she'd like to sing. she'd never been in a band before, and parixit was at that point without a project.
a pow-wow over ice cream and monster mix later led to the inception of beta.beta, a blend of sexy, wistful, fun, electronic beats and sounds mixed with parixit & adelin's mutual desire for creating music you can escape to. "
big New Order vibe within the music(which i love). "Hello Hello Over and Out" is a little slice of heaven. i'm bopping along as i type this. "14th Street Station" makes me think a little of Saint Etienne with the subject matter of the lyrics. "Noise you can't Recall" is just a straight up hit. all in all these guys have a nice mix of electro and dreamy pop that we at LMG dig. we hope to have them play live very soon.

Autorotation

used to be called Woomera, used to be called Bleep. no matter what they're calling themselves this week, they rule. I'm so happy this band escaped the cold clutches of Toronto to rainy London. since that time they've managed to put together a (almost) full band. i read on their myspace blog today that they're looking for a new bass player. I had the pleasure of sharing a bill with them a few years ago as a 3 peice and they were amazing. i can only imagine what how slammin' they are as a full band. if you live in london hit them up. the force is strong with these...
i see they have employed their cat as well. well what ever they do it works, they never miss a beat. the best band on the planet that you're still not listening to...
enjoy
Autorotation's brilliant song "Flika" will be available on the Self Storage Compilation
Deep Cut
Many moons ago there was a great band called Revolver. Their one and only proper album(the other was a collection of the bands first 3 EPS), Cold Water Flat, ranks high in my top albums of all times. some say they jumped on the shoegaze bandwagon, that they had too many "songs". despite genres it's a f**cking great record and well worth seeking out. to the point, Mat Flint, guitar player and main tunesmith of said band, has reemerged with his new band(along with his brother on bass) called Deep Cut. they have released the brilliant single Commodity in seven inch format via Club AC30 and as far as i can tell are now working on a full length.

Lights Out Asia - Tanks and Recognizers
I know very little about this band other than what it says on their myspace page. the album makes me think of what would happen if Auburn Lull made a record with Alpha. all i really know is the record is dope and you should check it out.
