Brooklyn's indie-pop/electro act Blip Blip Bleep is the work of producer Sean Han, who started recording under the name in 2006. With the help of singer/keyboardist Alexa Danner and drummer Jojo Schwarz, BBB is excited to be celebrating the release of their debut full-length album, Like Track Stars, at Mercury Lounge on Saturday, June 26th. The official release date is Tuesday June 29th (via Undercover Culture/IODA), but advanced copies will be available at the 6/26 show!
BBB has released two prior EPs, 2006's Wireless and 2008's Alarm Clock, Snooze Bar, Get Up. The EPs have earned the project a thumbs up from the likes of IndieFeed, PopMatters, LimeWire, The Deli NYC, BillBoard Underground, and NME.com's video blog. Songs have been licensed to NBC, ABC, The GAP, EMI, MTV, and BravoTV, among others. The trio has had the pleasure of sharing a stage with acts such as Still Life Still, Bear Hands, Boy Crisis, XYZ Affair, Baby Dayliner, Walter Meego and Woodhands.
STILL LIFE STILL are a Canadian five-piece band from East York, Toronto, who play a textured and layered style of indie/grunge/pop style music. The band’s line-up has undergone minor changes over the years, but currently consists of guitarists/vocalists Brendon Saarinen and Eric Young, bassist Derek Paulin, drummer Aaron Romaniuk and his brother, keyboardist/percussionist Josh Romaniuk.
Their debut LP “Girls Come Too” was released on Arts & Crafts August 25, 2009 with the first single “Pastel” put into rotation on Toronto radio stations. Girls Come Too is chock full of catchy melodies, deep lyrics, dynamic drumming and songs that will get stuck in your head for days.
Though all the band members are in their early 20’s, SLS has been playing together for nearly ten years and their chemistry and experience make for good music and a dynamic live set. Their consistent play in Toronto indie circles has resulted in a large local fanbase that is eager to dance and party each time the band plays.
