New Music For The Mundays: The Octopus Project

FEATURED ARTIST: THE OCTOPUS PROJECT official site myspace [MP3] The Octopus Project - The Adjustor [MP3] The Octopus Project - Music Is Happiness Deep from the heart of Texas (Austin to be exact) The Octopus Project have decided to brave the "May Day March" and Immigration Protests going on all over the city and head into Los Angeles to play a FREE SHOW tonight at The Little Radio Warehouse. The band played Coachella over the weekend. Sure it was exciting and filled with noise pop goodness. I was probably still trying to jimmy open my fucking glove box while they were playing. I am very excited to see them for the first time live tonight. I have been trying to think of the best way to describe The Octopus Project all morning. For some reason a Rubik's Cube keeps popping to mind. Completely colorful experimental electronic pop. I'm a sucker for sweeping instrumentals. Their music is insane and I'm in love with it. Download two tracks above from their new album 'ONE TEN HUNDRED THOUSAND MILLION' out now on Peek A Boo Records. You can purchase it right here. WATCH the video for "Music Is Happiness" Over 500,000 protestors are expected to march through the streets of Downtown LA today for the Great American Boycott. You can watch live streaming video of it right here. Businesses all over the city are closed today or closing early because of staff shortages, demonstrations, clogged city streets, and people using the MAY DAY holiday as an excuse to play hookie.
