Natalie Portman's Shaved Head

Natalie Portman's Shaved Head played the Media Club tonight and what the fuck, Natalie Portman isn't in the fucking band? First time that joke's been made?

I had heard their debut album before and they seemed to be running a hipster awareness campaign that I wanted to resist at first. But their songs are fun and their show was too. They had platters of fresh fruit that they passed out to people in the front rows. How friendly! And their music is just catchy as hell and about great things like tandem showering and tilt-a-whirls. I want to stay young forever!

If you missed it, check out our audio interview with Dave Price from the band!

A band called Band of Skulls

On Saturday night The Media Club was host to a little three piece out of England called Band of Skulls. For a band that has yet to release its first album, they sounded really, really tight. They rocked that little venue in the strictest sense and really looked like they were having fun. Oh, and their bassist is a goddamn amazon:
Go check out their songs "Fires" and "Bomb" on their Myspace! Now!
