Thus, each week, they email a different artist and find out what makes them tick, in the studio and in life. Today, the "fairly well-adjusted" dance-punker-turned-songwriter Sebastien Grainger chats tornadoes, Tom Waits, and futile attem...

Sebastien Grainger & the Mountains: I was running a bit late after the late night before and I didn't get myself to Brooklyn Vegan's day show until the last two bands were about to hit the stage. Lucky for me one of them was Sebastien Grainger, the ex-Death from Above member, that I was dying to see this week. Unfortunately I wound up crushed behind the back bar so I didn't get too great a

As previously reported, DFA1979 drummer/vocalist Sebastien Grainger has a new solo project that is catching some waves in the blogsphere. It's certainly more poppy than the old thrashy bangers he put out with DFA1979, but don't let the pop fool you... the tracks we've heard so far are full of flavor and will be a worthwhile edition to your playlists.
