“Leider bin ich momentan zeitlich ziemlich knapp dran, wie Ihr sicherlich an den ausbleibenden Postings hier im Blog bemerkt haben werdet. Die Wartezeit auf den nächsten richtigen Beitrag kann ich Euch vielleicht mit diesem netten Song der Band Globes on Remote aus Los Angeles vertreiben, der von ihrem just heute erscheinenden Album «Woo hoo hoo»stammt. Netter Space-Disco-Pop!” -COAST IS CLEAR der indie pop blog
Based in Los Angeles, California, Globes on Remote was formed in 2008 and named after an event that can never be retold in print.
The music of Globes on Remote is dancy, anthemic, and full of energy, instruments, and voices. Their songs are character-driven; wannabe stuntmen and/or spacemen, sleazy professors, carnival operators, and neurotic porn writers, all have their misadventures borne out over a beat. The band is DIY to the bone (okay, except for mastering) and all of their music is self-recorded, mixed, and produced. The band even built (like as in construction/electrical/hvac) their studio where they rehearse and record.
Globes on Remote’s influences channel all the cheesy living room dance-party tracks of Tom Tom Club, Hall and Oates, Michael Jackson, Huey Lewis. They were all ape-shit for “Beat It” as kids, but it’s not like they have grown much since those days. It’s not strictly dance music. The use of horns, megaphones, guitars, and noise effects keep things interesting; but when Globes on Remote play, people dance.
Members of Globes on Remote are Stephen Andrews, Tawny Carson, Kevin Ignatius, and Daniel Medina. Aside from Carson (the only member actually from LA,) the remaining members come from small towns: St. Augustine, Florida, Warren, Pennsylvania, and Winters, California. All mad about music from an early age, the four members collaboratively sing and play instruments that range from guitars and synthesizers to megaphones, trumpets, and a euphonium – all are classically trained, especially in megaphoning.
Their debut album, The Woo Hoo Hoo, will be releasing November 17, 2009. Meanwhile, the band is currently already hard at work on their second album, due out in 2010. Look out for a West Coast tour in 2009 and an Australian tour for Winter 2009/2010.
