If you can’t make it to our Victim Dance Party in the bay tonight. Perhaps L.A. can treat you to some $8 Bklyn-style indie rock from Matt + Kim and Japanther, with support from L.A.’s own lo-fi punk experiment No Age.

I am massive Japanther lover. And this is a brief Japanther sampler platter:

MP3: Japanther - Pleased to Meet You (2003)

MP3: Japanther - 1-10 (2004)

MP3: Japanther - Flower Garden (2005)

MP3: Japanther - Seventy Nine (2007)

Japanther have just released their newest LP, ‘Skuffed Up My Huffy’ and it’s mad LOLz. And good! Perhaps their best yet? The track ‘Seventy Nine’ is a sample. The full album is released on EXO Records, and you can buy it directly through the EXO Records MySpace. You can find some earlier Japanther albums and shirts for sale on Japanther’s MySpace. All that said, enjoy one last track from Japanther, another new one from ‘Skuffed Up My Huffy’ ‘titled, ‘Boys Don’t Cry’—a little ditty borrowed from The Cure:

MP3: Japanther - Boys Don’t Cry (2007)

Off-genre covers are my favorite. How about you?

Moving on, I can’t say much about Matt and Kim that hasn’t already been said. They’re great! I love what they do. For this post I’m bringing back the Flosstradamus remix we posted last month:

MP3: Matt and Kim - Yea Yeah (Flosstradamus Remix)

And tacking on some more re-werks by Vyle and another by Ocelot. Yea Yeah Yea Yeah Yea Yeah 4evr:

MP3: Matt and Kim - Yea Yeah (Vyle Remix)
(via Still Listen to Gangsta Music)

MP3: Matt and Kim - Yea Yeah (Ocelot Remix)
(via Big Stereo)

L.A. people go see them play! And visit Matt and Kim at MySpace and get their records from their label Iheartcomix.
