Our hometown home boys in InnerPartySystem are back with yet ANOTHER video for their first single "Don't Stop." If you saw the first version, this new version prods the same veins (see: melting lipstick, zombified couple foaming of the mouth while watching TV, human Barbie & Ken dolls), but with a lot more band and a lot more performance, and thus a lot better. Cool video; check it out!



And since it's Monday, why not a bonus?! I stumbled across this short of them remaking a scene from The Big Lebowski, ala Spin Magazine. The System abides.

Let's skip over the fact that I belong in the doghouse for, uh, not blogging much these days and move right along onto what you should do with your Wednesday evening.

Forget about walking the dog, forget about watching Friends reruns. Our musical hometown heroes (and Scene and Heard favs) Innerpartysystem are bringing down the house tonight at Club 1402 in Reading. I'll be there. They'll be there. Loud hypnotic booty shaking rock will be there too. Which means there is no reason to not be there.

And why else can you NOT miss this show? Glad you asked. Well, it's your absolute last chance to catch them play their hometown before they go on to, what they call in this silly music business, "the big time." The Berks County-bred group will release their Island Records debut later this month, Sept 30.

Sounds like a monumental historic moment if you ask me. Like when General Washington crossed the Delaware. So don't miss it!

They'll be joined by The Urgency, and doors open at 8. Sorry high schoolers, gotta be 18 to get in. See ya at the show, folks.

And aw, heck, here's a video of "Don't Stop" if you need further enticing.

Here's a novel idea. While most bands are trying to get their songs into our heads, our boys from down the road--InnerPartySystem--are trying to get into our ... bellies?

The debut single from the Reading, PA group recently hit the UK. But when it did, it looked like it had come from the Willy Wonka factory instead of an Island Records factory.

Made entirely of chocolate, you can listen to "Don't Stop" -- the first single to come from IPS's upcoming full length debut on your conventional turntable, lift the needle and take the record off, and then eat it in all it's chocolaty melty goodness.

Yes. Seriously.

But chances of scoring one of these highly limited edition singles is about zip. Only 100 copies were made and they were shipped to UK shores.

No word yet on whether their full length in the fall will be filled with peanut butter or caramel, but I'm looking forward to it.
