TPS NEWS: ABRA STARS IN, DIRECTS & EDITS NEW VIDEO FOR "PULL UP"
"DON'T TRY ANY OF THIS AT HOME." - our lawyers
News from True Panther Sounds for you this morning...
“PULL UP” on a typical night out in NYC with ABRA and her BFF… Drinking 40s, going to Chinatown, stacks of cash, motocross and ATV racing, “Scream” masks, late-night tattoo appointments. Filmed on-location in summer 2016 with support from The FADER, ABRA says of the video, "Shout out to A$AP Tyy for bringing his boys out, and showing us a good time."
ABRA’s new merch store is now open for business (http://www.darkwaveduchess.net/shop/) and her recent Pitchfork Paris Festival set can be viewed HERE. PRINCESS EP is out now on True Panther Sounds / Awful Records.

Kraftwerk live in Soest, winter 1970. The earliest surviving concert footage. My favorite part starts at 16:42. You will have others.
Watch Polish free jazz combo cover Queens of the Stone Age
Actually it's a bit unfair to reduce Polish musician Gabriele Kulka to just a genre label, so call this whatever you like. A truly memorable & new take on "Keep Your Eyes Peeled" by Queens of the Stone Age from this talented group of Polish musicians.
Savage: A New Song (and Music Video) from Majical Cloudz
Fans will already be familiar with "Savage," a staple of Majical Cloudz sets over the past year. They have now recorded it in the studio and made a quick music video. Watch it at the link above.
Devon Welsh writes about the song on the video on his tumblr HERE
Lots of interesting Majical Cloudz stuff happening in 2014 so keep your eyes peeled.
Queens of the Stone Age perform Vampyre of Time and Memory on Conan
Keep your eyes peeled (as they say) for the Vampyre video coming soon.

High-quality video of Glasser performing last Saturday night at Fader Fort
Unbelievably high quality footage of Glasser's set at the Fader Fort during CMJ last Saturday night. Even more amazing is when the power cut out and she finishes off "Tremel" acapella, totally unfazed (not unphased as some might have it).
Magic Kids "Candy" for Yours Truly
Magic Kids were in the Bay Area for the first time. They played Valentines Day with Girls and Smith Westerns the night before and it was a beautiful show. The next day they cobbled together this orchestra, which features Christopher + Garrett from Girls, Max from Smith Westerns, some friends of someone's aunt who had a weekend flute club, a real string section and some more random friends to play this early version of Candy for the Yours Truly guys. It was kind of a rainy day but it felt so warm in that room. Hope you enjoy. Video is hosted HERE on your's truly's site which also has a nice letter from the band.The band is leaving for Europe this week and coming back for a tour of the states. Tour dates HERE

Delorean- Real Love Video
A few months ago, when talking about the meaning behind the song "Real Love" and possible ideas for a video Ekhi said something like "Real love is being in a state of conflict against the outside world". Focus Creeps took this concept and ran with it, making a beautiful, dreamy and ultimately pretty psychedelic and creepy video for "Real Love". Enjoy!Order Subiza HERE

The New Pornographers play Crash Years on Fallon
The New Pornographers performed "Crash Years" on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon yesterday. Neko Case takes the lead vocal and yes, that's Todd Barry playing the sleigh bell. Dan Bejar was also in the house, and it's a straight-up loose, joyous performance of a kind rarely seen on broadcast TV. And some serious rock cello moves.
