MAC DEMARCO, formerly Makeout Videotape, is the anti-thesis to your stereotypical singer-songwriter and one of Captured Tracks' most-highly touted new signings. Equal parts Ariel Pink and Berlin-era Bowie, DeMarco’s a weird cat cultivating an affinity for occult imagery, nudity and social satire. Like the name-dropped gents above, Demarco's strength is his songwriting--hooks and jangles overladen with Oscar Wildean insights...which he likes to sum up as "jizz jazz". This marks Mac's fir

RINGO DEATHSTARR are one of PTP's favorite new bands of the last year or so (finally catching up to them a bit late in the game, admittedly). These are the lushest and densest of shoegaze sounds--MBV's "Loveless" rolled into Cocteau Twin's "Treasure" in the reverb chamber... And the band will be celebrating the release of their brand new album, "Mauve" debuting the tracks live for the first time tonite!

CATWALK's debut LP is finally nearly complete, and with a bitta luck should be ready to wow the world this spring... (Think: the dreamier side of MBV meets The Wake and Wild Nothing and Beach Fossils...) And if you thought the debuts by Beach Fossils and Wild Nothing debut LPs were good, just wait til you hear Catwalk's! The band have promised to unveil more new songs tonite, so you're in for a real treat...because the live show is just as good as the recordings!
