ALAS, DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979

ebastien Grainger on the reunion of the dance-metal duo: "Why not say YES to playing the music we designed to be an undeniable source of power?"

http://pitchfork.com/news/41467-death-from-above-1979-release-statement/

It's been 5 years since Death From Above 1979 played a show, 10 years since Jesse played me the first demos & 11 years since we sat in his parents basement and played so loud we knocked the china off the shelves upstairs. 11 seems to be a YES number for me. Though I am usually a pretty rational guy, if I have something on my mind and I see an 11 somewhere, I know I’m on the right path. It’s one of my last remaining superstitions. 2011 has a nice ring to it & if you’re so inclined, it may be the last year ever! So why not say YES? Why not say YES to Coachella? Why not say YES to playing the music we designed to be an undeniable source of power? Why not say YES to stirring up a writhing pit of sweaty humans? YES to riots! YES to heavy music! YES instead of maybe, and YES to make death your adviser and remind yourself always, that this is not a dress rehearsal. This is the big show.

Jesse and I have decided that what we can do together should not be denied.
Together again, as was always the intention, as a collaboration.
The collision of two different worlds.
As this all takes shape, we will reveal it to you.
All of it happening, as it always has, in our own way.
Thank you all for sharing in our excitement!

Yes.
SEBASTIEN

THE DARKNESS

WHO REMEMBERS THE DARKNESS, RAISE YOUR HAND!

The Brit award winning band were never given as much recognition as they deserved here in Canada.
The band released album Permission to Land which pulled off #1 album in the UK in 2003, then in 2005 One Way Ticket to Hell...and Back released in November 2005, only reaching #11 on the charts.

Chart numbers aside, while being a byproduct of influences such as AC/DC and Thin Lizzy, The Darkness found their own distinct sound in the voice of singer Justin Hawkins. The Darkness is the kind of band that is hard to take seriously, but you cannot help but love listening to.
