[source unknown to me] Abe Vigoda - "Wild Heart" A stack of chips as tall as my chest. A wheelbarrow of chips, a hearty wagon, a shopping cart. I sold everything to get this many chips, sold my bike, my computer, even my winter boots. I take a free drink and head to the high rollers hallway, my pant cuffs wet with melting snow. My shirt sweaty and my heart beating fast. I sit next to a fr...

Abe Vigoda look more like zombie mimes than skeletons in the West Currie-directed clip for the title track for the title track from the their second record, but the video's camera work and editing perfectly echo the song's rhythmic upswing, making for a striking, ghoulish rave-up. It gets even more secret-society celebrational when California quartet remove the face paint and get down next to t...

A wise man once said "as soon as you admit that you don't know everything, it's a good time to collaborate!" So here we go, the first irregular guest column on DiS from those eagle-eared chaps at popular club and blog No Pain in Pop. It's run by some former DiSsers who on our watch were the first to rave about the likes of No Age, Telepathe, Abe Vigoda, El Guincho, etc. Here's what they're lovi...

--- - |- MP3: Abe Vigoda - Dead City/Waste Wilderness MP3: Abe Vigoda - Cranes Damn man, I was way bummed when I missed the Abe Vigoda duders at the No Age gig in NYC this past weekend (showed up late). I did pick up their new album that dropped last week, "Skeleton", which if you've been reading the internet you know is the new hype. It's worth the jerking off over folks, 14...

Visit the Abe Vigoda Web siteAbe Vigoda ReviverPost Present MediumBy Jose FritzThe record begins with the unexpected—three seconds of overdubbed moaning vocals that drop into a fast-fingered, bass-driven song with squealing guitars in the back evoking early Killing Joke more than any two consecutive seconds from their last album. It really begs the question: Where is this band going?While some.

Summer is halfway through. That's frightening, but it's been an incredible couple months of live music, and Saturday, July 12th's show was the best of them all. Todd P, along with Impose and my great friends at Crashin' In, curated a spectacular celebration at the Yard, an outdoor venue in Brooklyn that I've been meaning to visit. The singer of Titus Andronicus put it best, when he called it ...

MP3: Abe Vigoda - Don't LieIt's the make over nobody asked for: in less than year's time, Abe Vigoda return with their most defining and rewarding work yet, in an ep titled "Reviver". A strange title and concept, considering this is a band that sounded near fucking perfect on last year's "Skeleton", but when music gets changed up to something this good, there is no reason what so ever to compla...

Artist: Abe VigodaAlbum: SkeletonLabel: Bella UnionRelease date: 06/10/08Link: www.myspace.com/abevigodaPicture the scene. Vampire Weekend one day took a trip to Mexico, where on arrival they were kidnapped and forcibly fed all sorts of mind altering drugs over the course of a month. The resulting band would probably sound something like Abe Vigoda. There’s no sign of preppy clothing or Pe

--- - |- Chino, Calif.'s Abe Vigoda, whose Skeleton has been one of 2008's welcome surprises, brought their brand of clanging, spidery guitar pop to the rooftop of the Queens, N.Y., venue Silent Barn. Their distincitive guitars are turned way up, the vocals are pretty far down, and their deceptively catchy tunes pretty much worm their way into your brain. The title track from the latest is fir...

This was the second time I’ve seen Abe Vigoda, but the first at SXSW. They took to Waterloo Park’s small stage at the peak of the midday sun just as Cursive was starting up across the park on the main stage. As some of Cursive’s heavier sounds echoed across the park to the smaller stage, Abe Vigoda lead singer Michael Vidal reminisced about how he loved Cursive’s The Ugly Organ back in hig
