Check out Ugress. They have several albums and ep’s available for purchase or download. I highly recommend Decepticons, Redrum (Featuring Christine Litle), and Makina Fifth.  Einhorn22 is also quite spectacular and was released in celebration of a funky Norweigan space, science and puppets show for kids called Kometkameratene. Now why don’t we have anything cool like this for Jello-brained American kids?

Check out 3OH!3. These guys are fun and remind of the Beastie Boys and the Bloodhound Gang.

She’s great. I love Aurgasm.us. There are all kinds of cool artists making great music over there such as Trinah, Pretty Lights, Amylie, and the highly recommended Una Mas Trio. Oh wait, I almost forgot the not to be missed Sonar Kollectiv Orchester. Did I mention that I highly recommend this site? It has a great Yahoo Music Player from the YUI (Yahoo User Interface) Library that makes listening to the music reviewed on the site a breeze. Also don’t miss the Aurgasm mix on Mixtape.

It’s a handy trick to break out, especially in the midst of a Super Bowl party (when you don’t want to miss a crucial play) or any event where you’re reluctant to leave your seat to hunt for an opener.

Visit http://aurgasm.us for a great dose of new music. They just had a site redesign (courtesy of designer Tom Kershaw)  which looks rather spiffy if do say so myself. Highly recommended.
