127. MONEYPENNY IS COOL & THE GANG (NYC SHOW 6.26)

moneypenny just released their new website and it looks pretty nice. they got a sexy web design makeover with new promo shots too. definitely hip + with it.

with the release of their new website, they've decided to give out their track "cool & the gang" for free. the track is like america's answer to yelle, but it's 2010 now and it sounds like calvin harris helped out with the production; all of those r&b, house and trance sounds fit perfectly into a really nice track.

the chicago duo is working hard on their debut EP, a new record label called "loose change recordings," and their live show.

103. MONEYPENNY + HEY CHAMP

here's a fast-paced saturday remix of moneypenny by hey champ.

both groups are from chicago. moneypenny is just getting started and has only released a few tracks. they fall under the pop / electro / club aesthetic, think yelle americana x2. hey champ has been around a bit longer and i would consider them electro / indie, think of bands like phoenix or penguin prison.

hey champ is giving away "cold dust girl" and "neverest" on their website for free right here. sure you have to sign up for their newsletter, but it's well worth it + all you're going to get out of it is more free music and info about a solid band.
