James and Pat (more by Ryan Muir)
LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy has revealed that he is involved in a new band who are set to release material on his label, DFA.Pat Maloney?? (like I should talk). James and Pat are also collectively known as Special Disco Version, and............Murphy told NME.COM that the collective, featuring LCD cohort Pat Maloney plus former Hockey Night members Paul Sprangers and Scott Wells, haven't decided on a name yet.
"There's this rock band arguing about what name they are," Murphy told NME.COM. "They're from Minneapolis.
"We've gone back and forth for months, there's no way to say [what the band name is]. Pat and I are the drummer and the bass player [respectively]."
Murphy said he expected to release material by the new collective next year.
According to his spokesperson Murphy is not officially a core member of the band, although he produces and contributes bass.
we're back and better than ever! pat und james have returned from brazil, japan, korea, the UK, ireland and the ukraine to get stupid with gentleman dj matt cash. $4 prb cans? $5 cover? it's like a hardcore show, if hardcore shows had really gay disco. oh--and NOT the straight edge kind of hardcore show, either. the fun kind. GET NAKED!prb??? That's happening upstairs at Santos Party House on November 5th. Doors at 11 PM. Also in James Murphy's NYC future:

Artists in Music and Conversation:That one is happening at Joe's Pub.
James LCD Murphy & Sam Lipsyte
Price: $30, 7:30 PM - December 16Things will come full circle on this Tuesday night in December, when Sam and James reunite in a context that will be part conversation, part consternation, and part Ultimate Fighting.
Sam Lipsyte, author of "Home Land" and "The Subject Steve," and a recently Guggenheimed novelist and Columbia professor, began his descent as the much feared Sam Shit, front-man of the internationally ignored Dung Beetle Rock Band. And Dung Beetle's engineer was one young James Murphy.
James Murphy, the man who resurrected disco via punk, is best known for his band LCD Soundsystem and his record label DFA. James Murphy, upon being crowned artist of the year in the Village Voice 2007 Pazz & Jop poll, stated: "I'm 37 years old. I'm 220 pounds. I'm a producer. I've got about as much likelihood of being a fucking frontman as Christopher Cross..."
Special Disco Version also just DJ'd at the B-52's show that took place at Hammerstein Ballroom. Coverage of that is coming any second.

I remember when PRB was a buck at To The Johnsons Welcome in the Side Lower East.

I love these guys, but that 1st picture is just hilarous. James looks like he's shaking hands with Pat's dick and Pat's like, "aw man, I love you too dood".

Very ordinary music. & looks like beer-funneling middle manager.
Posted by Nessy | November 3, 2008 4:49 PM
There is no doubt if James Murphy is involved the new band will be a musical wonder ( I hope)

I just wish there was more LCD Soundsystem coming out. They are the best band out of NYC in since forever.

"...the man who resurrected disco via punk..."
I think James is great and I know I shouldn't expect anything better from the Joe's Pub website but fucking come one!
Posted by M | November 3, 2008 6:01 PM
the photo right after that involves a liplock. They have a beat connection.

jesus christ you are all tools, dfa sucks the fucking worst, listen to some liquid liquid or bush tetras for crying out loud( who are they?) ugggghhhhhh

^word.
I tried to get into a lot of DFA's stuff, but it really is second-rate schlock. Unless it's early Black Dice. LCD has a few pretty good tracks, but nothing that really has any staying power for me. Murphy's flimsy.

Actually James Murphy not in a new band. From the LCD site:
"oh jesus. it's all a mistake. stupid interviewer willfully misinterpreted me. i'm not in this band any more than i'm in the juan maclean, or shit robot, or any number of dfa things i produce, co-produce or play various instruments on. i'm just in the studio with them as a producer, and, as they didn't have a rhythm section per se, i figured it would be fun if pat and i did it in the studio. it's not like we'll go on tour with them or anything. they write the songs, etc. and play some of the bass, too. just a thing for making the record. not a creative position. just saying. --James Murphy"
and btw
10:08 and 11:40 are just jealous
