"Sleepy Head (White Sirens of Burr Remix)" by Passion Pit

Born in the future world, The White Sirens of Burr were sent back to modern day to begin a crusade against a future full of complacency and idol-worshipping. Emerging from a cloud of mist they streak across the night time like the frigid glow of neon that illuminates midnight diners. They will not quit or be held back. The future must be saved.

Finger on the Pulse NYC held a remix contest a while back for Passion Pit's "Sleepy Head" and none other than the White Sirens of Burr chosen as a personal best of the entries. Picked by the NO Big Deal crew as their favorite, the little Portland Electro/Metal/Healing&EasyListening group has already started down the path towards the destiny that awaits them. Complacency should prepare to be sodomized.

"Cornelius" by the Bloody Beetroots

CORNELIUS from borntofilm on Vimeo.

Taking a cue from my boy Dylan over at portlandplayground I feel the need to share with you this masterful video of debauchery and all around good fun from the Bloody Beetroots. Reminiscent of Justice's recent release of A Cross The Universe, this video keeps on the idea that our generation is going to make civilization swan dive straight into the shits of chaos, abuse, and all around anarchy. Oh the beauty of it all. One thing to note is that this type of shit doesn't happen in Portland, because of its non existent dance/electro scene. But do not fret good sirs and madam es, this is about to change, thanks in a large part to the aforementioned portlandplayground and its leaders, the White Sirens of Burr. So prepare to sodomize complacency and hopefully this video, and the Blood Beetroots (they are fucking amazing, check their shit out, it is mind blowing) will tide you over and prepare you for the irrevocable change that is awaiting our great city

Getting a Little Freaky Down In P-Town

For all of you who don't know, Portland is fucking awesome. That said, there are a few things that need changing. For one, we have all of these people in our great city that need to be forced to do anything, and are reluctant to go check out a show or band unless there is some hype or they are in right now. Another is the complete and utter lack of constant dance parties. Being someone who loves to get down and dance the night away, this is a complete drag, yet there's a savior on the horizon. A little coalition know as PortlandPlayground (portlandplayground.blogspot.com) has high ambitions to fill that void. Headed by members of a little upstart group know as The White Sirens of Burr (myspace.com/whitesirensofburr) are hoping to collate a collaboration of Portland musicians, artists, writers and give them a space to present their work. As of right now they are small, consisting of five members, yet their ambitions are not reflective of their size. Armed with a set of concert speakers and a wish to dance the night away, this is a force not to be reckoned with. Their goal is to oppose the complacincy we have with our current scene and hope to provide an outlet for musicians to preform in front of audiences and to give people a steady set of dance parties and shows, did I mention these shows are set in warehouses/rented storage spaces/rented moving trucks/dorms/ and any other place that they can break into and plug in. So check out this blog (they even have a link to our own) and keep watching for more news on these up and coming Portlander's
