Free Energy - ex-Hockey Night DFA band - MP3 & NYC show

DOWNLOAD: Free Energy - Dream City (MP3)

Free Energy

DFA liked Free Energy, this new ex-Hockey Night band from Philly, enough to sign them. What do you think? I'm not sold yet. Grab an MP3 above, and listen to one more at their MySpace. You can catch them live at Mercury Lounge with Awesome New Republic in NYC TONIGHT (5/19).

Hockey Night was THE best band EVER!

People are going to remember them for a loooooooooong time.

I don't care so much for what they're doing now.
I guess I'll just sit home and listen to my Pinkiny Canandy record.

This is not as good as Hockey Night.

I'm still pissed they never finished that second record. The demos were infinitely better than these songs. Dude doesn't even sound like he's trying anymore.

Yowza! I liked it. Haters from above, did y'all hear that sax at the end? That's kinda the sh*t...

hockey night was amazing, all the pavement crazies hated on them though, which is weird when you think pavement's lead quit because he hated what he was doing. these are the kids that would have jumped on the nirvana bandwagon if they were a few years younger. raining on everyone else's parade. sweet. are you people serious hating on this band? they just started, they're sharpening their axes, playing something unique but also reminiscent of the better days when you didn't have to be a computer science major at MIT to make "cool" music. this is the stuff you can listen to under christmas lights in the basement. feel the melody and spread the honey people.

"playing something unique but also reminiscent of the better days when you didn't have to be a computer science major at MIT to make "cool" music"

That's a very polite way of saying "They Suck".

ok i just read the voice blog which references all the negativity radiating out of this thread. looks like this band is now VV approved, and i am listening to the song for the 2nd time now, mainly cause the writer mentions NY Groove which is like the best song ever. why is everyone mad at this song? sounds like a good time to me. is it cause they are signed to DFA record label which is mostly dance music i guess? but lcd soundsystem records alway6s seemed to play more like rock records to me. (i also read ANTI is releasing the new record by the Field which sorta surprised me more than this.) anyway stop overthinking this. maybe it is because i dont live in NYC but this sounds good to me. definitely curious to hear more. lose the garfield shirt and leak more songs!

here is that voice article:

no no, i think the majority of the commenters here are right. they're not very good. sorry. now, does that mean that i'd set fire to them. nah. not now. but they're not very good. and dfa isn't infallible, dance music or not. plus, that one chick looks like a dude. what's up with that?

Posted by Anonymous | May 26, 2009 6:28 PM

These songs are really good! I am looking forward to the album. Do you have to be vegan to post on this website? Maybe all these haters on here need to eat something...such cranks!

Hockey Night totally sucked too. It all sucks.

Posted by Anonymous | June 2, 2009 11:54 AM

What's the fuss? I think they sound great and look fresh! If you listen to one of their songs/watch their video/see a show you can think what you want, but you will have more fun being positive- these guys sure seem like they are!!

Posted by whoever | June 14, 2009 5:07 PM

Ok, it's a "nice" song but WTF. 200 other bands in Philly are playing the same shit in their basement right now. These guys definitely know somebody at DFA. I think the drummers mom works there.

ABSOLUTELY DYNAMITE

Posted by uhnuhnumus | August 15, 2009 6:17 PM

i just want to say, I know these guys and they are doing what they want and how they want. That is more than most of you mean and unhappy people who love to judge folks for no other reason than how they look. They don't have to get up and do something they hate. They just get up and play music. I wish I could do that. My opinion on if I like their music or not doesn't matter. Neither should yours. Live and let live.

Well, I liked the song. There is character in it. I believe this band has a good future. The thing is that some people liked the song others didn't. But noone remained indifferent. And making name in show-business is very important to be special. You know, to become more popular I advice to learn more about PR (there are a lot of books at the torrents files search engine http://www.picktorrent.com ). It will accelerate the process of becoming famous.

Fantastic. Go for the gusto and I hope you Free Energy hit the bigs. Lots of hard work, away from friends and home but the rewards will be worth it. Da American Dream Free Energy should write a song called Off the Grid.
