WAMPIRE – ON FIRE

Wampire are great. Fucking great. After seeing them support Mac Demarco (Also great) at Kentish Town forum late last year, We felt compelled to let you guys know how great they really are.

Known for wearing puke inducing shirts- and sporting questionable facial hair these guys are committed to doing things – shall we say- unconventionally.

The Hearse is a track that sports a synth in it that wouldn’t seem out of place in an 80’s ski movie montage – and a rocking base line. With an equally shoulder padded video to match.

Wizard staff is an anthem that bears a real hard listen and is beautifully, yet challengingly l arranged we expect big things from this two. The Video shows the twosome as private investigators – sometimes riding a two man bike – as you should have guessed…

Oh yea – and listen to Fly on the Wall- another GREAT tune.

Only a short one from us- but check em out- Wampire are your new favourite band.

CHROMEO

We love Chromeo – and whilst they may be hugely popular, touring the hottest clubs across the globe, we still think they deserve a little bit more love. As such – here’s some stuff about we learnt recently about the French-Canadian duo….

The duo met in the mid-1990s at Collège Stanislas in Montreal. Considering their backgrounds, the two childhood friends jokingly describe themselves as “the only successful Arab/Jewish partnership since the dawn of human culture

At the beginning of March 2011, Chromeo sent out notice that they had recorded the “world’s smallest album”, entitled Drive Time, which consists of 55 songs in only 183 seconds.

Their latest full offering White Women (check it out the lead track Jealous (I Ain’t With It) above) is arguably their best yet –  a seamless combination of energy and melancholy, disco and soul, all mixed together into some of the most effective songs they’ve written. We’d even go as far as to say it’s timeless  and well-crafted, a shining example of disco’s renewed relevance from a pair of musicians for whom the genre never went out of style.

Our fave track of theirs is below – Fancy Footwork. We even included a link to the LA Riots remix for your audio pleasure – aren’t we nice?

WE’RE BACK! (you noticed we were gone….right?)

After a leave of absence (No – we’re not telling you why!) We at Dissatisfied Sounds are back and ready to shield you from the musical nasties that are out to get you.

We’re kicking off 2015 with a string of articles profiling who we think are going to be huge this year – but unlike Radio 1 – we ‘aint getting payed a penny for our troubles.

So sit back – relax – and get ready for some satisfaction.

MAC’S STINKY SHOES SELL FOR A BUTTLOAD

Everyone’s fave Pepperoni Playboy Mac Demarco, not content it seems with writing one of the albums of the year (Salad Days for those of you living under a rock) now wants to take over the retail world. Kind of….

The above pair of rather tattered vans were posted on eBay by Mac himself with the following caption –

“I’m selling an old pair of my shoes. I’ve John Hancocked the left shoe. Will anyone buy an old stinky pair of shoes? I don’t know. lets wait and see.”

Well following a bidding war someone was willing to buy the pair – for a whopping $21,100 on eBay. Yea you read that right – $21,000 

He even answered a few of the weirder fan questions on the site – our faves below;

Q: i love you but my mom thinks that you are a reckless hillbilly who does nothing but smoke cigarettes and be foul. can you convince her otherwise? i cant seem to convince her myself. P.S. you should play an all ages show at brooklyn sometime goodbye mac (i love you)

A: Not a hillbilly, just Canadian, there’s a difference. Sorry mom. We’ll do a bk all ages show soon

Q: hey so whats the deal man?

A: Pee pee!!!

Q: What are your thoughts on Nickelback?

A: Look at this photograph.

Q: Do you have any interest in trading a jar of ghost cum for your red clown shoes? #slimer Best Jeremiah

A: I don’t think they need any ghost cum at rock camp for girls

But if you were unsure as to the pong – he even posted a video of his much serenaded lady – Kira – giving them a ceromonial whiff – watch below.

We love Mac and the fact that all the proceeds went to benefit Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls – so he’s a doing his bit for charity too. It seems like everything this guy touches turns to gold at the moment – even a pair of smelly old vans.

Need a further dose of the Mac? Check out his “Mac-umentry” below – following him and his band touring Salad Days.
