built by snow’s videogame launch party!- john
It is no secret that we are Mario and Lugui to Built By Snow’s Princess Toadstool, so we are as thrilled as jumping on a cloud with over 100 coins on it to be helping present their big video debut this Saturday at Club DeVille (because you get a 1-up after 100 coins, duh)
The band prides themselves on their embracement of nerdom, which makes them sensitive to the ladies and makes them heroes to all the fanboys out there, who are excited to flashback to a simpler time when rock music was catchy, about girls and had lots of that cool keyboard sound that the Rentals used.
Opening up are topically named Austin group the Politics whose new wave funk sets will go hand in hand with DeVille’s tall pints of Live Oak. By the way- did you see Clinton get booed last night during the debates?! Next up is Vinyl Dharma whose Human League and MTV endorsed vibe will further wet the palate for the video NES-tastic premier of Built By Snow’s “Underneath.” BBS takes the stage next churning thru their catalog of synthpop and nerd core gems that would please Matt Sharp and the editor of Nintendo Power circa 1990 alike.
The video itself is a giant love letter to the games we all grew up on that required blowing into the cartridge to make work. The games that had horrible translations that didn’t make any senses. The video is full of gags and homages that any postmodern video game fan will have a hard time not chuckling… oh and rocking. The song is one of my favs from last year’s debut EP titled Noise.

Headlining is Crash Gallery- an energetic Austin group who has shared the stage with everyone from the Riverboat Gamblers to Ghostland Observatory.
See you tomorrow night at Club DeVille!

Good song, too, and it's great to see a band like Built By Snow taking advantage of the current climate: DIY video everywhere and creativity trumping slick production. Just being your silly self on film is plenty enough to satisfy true fans. Seen "Be Kind Rewind?" This is undoubtedly the Age of the "Swede." More!
