Ariel was exciting to be around; he was fun and he was driven. He would come to me with seemingly impossible show ideas but then always managed to pull them off. He approached his work with a sense that yeah, there might be consequences but the good and fun will outweigh the fallout because we have the right spirit and if i don’t try and get this done it’ll never happen. One of Ariel’s most triumphant moments in my eyes was when he somehow convinced the skipper of Clipper City to let all the Famous Class bands charter the boat for a quarter of the usual price. The feeling was unforgettable, sailing around the Statue of Liberty having a beer with Ariel and watching friends play and dance.  Last year he began working with me at Famous Class, helping us take some big steps forward. It breaks my heart that he isn’t going to see the results of everything we worked on together. He was a dear friend and a brother, we love you and miss you.

Patrick from Titus did that guest list thing on pitchfork yesterday and gave a little love.

Favorite New Band

Boogie Boarder are kind of a spaz band from Brooklyn. They have lots of bad-ass riffs but also lots of wanky goodness, and they definitely know how to entertain. They have a lot of that reckless abandon that’s at the heart of all great rock’n'roll music. The bass player plays this half bass-half guitar thing in the tradition of the Presidents of the United States of America. And their album Pizza Hero comes with a really beautiful zine with all these really nice drawings. A lot of bang for your buck.”

February 28, 2010

Both bands went to the studio at breakthruradio.com and recorded some jamz last fall. old news yes but still fun!

February 27, 2010

As Winter continues to keep its chilly grasp fastened tightly upon our fair city, Darlings have hunkered down and are combating the cold with a barrage of Brooklyn-brewed garage pop.  Last weekend, the band convened with their guru Nick Smeraski at Headgear Studio to record six new tracks.  We’re in the mixing stage, so these songs will be coming at you sooner than you think.

February 27, 2010

Vanity Fair used “Teenage Girl” in a behind-the-scenes video of a photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz and a bunch of Hollywood starlets.  Check it out at the end of this article.  Unfortunately it’s not a photo shoot of Hollywood starlets AND Darlings, they’re just mugging for the camera while our song plays.  Plus we would never agree to share the spotlight like that.

February 27, 2010

We recorded some new jamz that we’ll be slowly giving away for free on the site. New things are brewing here…
