GLASS CANDY RARITIES FOR FREE.
Long-standing Cannibal Cheerleader favorites Glass Candy have been ripping their brand of haunted disco for over a decade now, and as one might imagine the duo of Ida No and Johnny Jewel have racked up quite the collection of recordings to show for it, given the group’s penchant for Tour CDRs available only at live shows. Dozens of tracks remain hidden except to the select few who were lucky enough to be at some of the group’s earliest shows when the group was still Glass Candy & The Shattered Theater – that is, hidden until now! The good people at Pukekos have assembled a massive collection of long-forgotten Glass Candy Tour CDRs for your free download. Definitely check out the live (hard-rocking!) version of “Nite Nurses” or the early renditions of “Metal Gods”. Very worthwhile collection if you’re interested in seeing the evolution of an underground indie rock act. Killer stuff.

NEW BAND CHEER: PULL IN EMERGENCY.
Perusing the music forums over the weekend as we here at Cannibal Cheerleader are apt to do between watching schlock horror flicks, we came across an act that we were instantly excited about: London’s Pull In Emergency, a quintet of high-schoolers from the UK who combine indie-pop sensibilities with a lo-fi garage rock edge, sounding a bit like the Strokes fronted by a bored Corin Tucker. With these guys and Lissy Trullie making black leather cool again one can only hope we’ll start seeing a trend soon. Get in on these guys now before “Planes” becomes this year’s summer jam (sorry for the low quality radio rip!). Also check out the video for fantastic single “Silence” below.

SPINNERETTE ON TWITTER.
Everybody else is doing it, so why doesn’t Spinnerette’s inimtiable frontwoman Brody Dalle do the same? Turns out the ex-Distiller has her own Twitter account now and will be tweeting about the progress on her group’s upcoming self-titled debut throughout the summer. Here’s hoping we get an mp3 of new single “Baptized By Fire” soon!
PS. That’s the cover for the new album. Sexy but dangerous.

Are you jealous that I’ve already heard the Spinnerette album? I know you are… you can admit it..
