The two best albums of the year will be released on May 18th. Seriously. Listen for yourself at Ersatz Audio. And I'm not just saying that because Tamion and Goudron support our night and Adam and Nicola played a killer set to a packed basement of smiling, alcohol soaked (literally) art school freaks.

So, about that: Huge thanks to Will Calcutt, Mark Lazar, the Ersatz camp, the Ghostly camp, The Peacock and everyone who made Les Infants Terribles edtion 2 the best night out in Detroit (or anywhere for that matter) in a long long time. It certainly tipped toward the punk side of electropunk, and that's defitiely the "Detroitness" of the night coming through in all its seedy, hard-edged glory. I also want to give a big thanks to Motor City Rocks and Gibby for the generous media support. (We're planning to get Gibby's ass out here to DJ very soon.)
