the video for Live A Little dropped earlier this week but I had to post it, first of all this is one of the few songs that Disashi wrote (the black guy) and one of the few he has sang on. I loved it, and the concept of the song.

And Travis gosh Travis..

Gym Class Heroes just released a new video for ‘Live a Little’ from their less than spectacular release, the quilt. Definitely one of the best songs of the album, and I absolutely love this video for some reason.

‘Bout Damn Time We Get Some Visuals For This.

Here’s Gym Class Heroes In “Live A Little”.

This Was My 2nd Favorite Track From “The Quilt”.

This track is off the Gym Class Heroes latest album “The Quilt”.

pretty damn late and a pretty random choice for what’s sure to be the last single from the quilt. i would’ve thought “catch me if you can” would’ve been an absolutely perfect choice for that ‘last-single-tour-video-last-album-push’ single that bands tend to do, but this is a great song too from a great album.

Alright so this looks like its been put together for coke to send some viral marketing round the internet but just like that xmas advert it makes me pretty bloody happy. Cee lo and Travis (gym class heroes) amongst those to lend a verse. If this doesn’t cheer you up a bit you’re a miserable bastard!

TEST

A lot of people have been asking me what I think about LMFAO. To be honest I considered them a total copycat group and their music just seemed like it was trying way to hard for their own good. Somewhere between Gym Class Heroes, Asher Roth and The Black Eyed Peas.

I finally caved, and decided to check out their debut album, Party Rock. It’s actually pretty good (yeah I said it) if you take it for what it is – a party album like the Peas’s The E.N.D. It’s nowhere near as good as The E.N.D, but you’ll definitely find some good summer cuts on it – for example, a track called “Yes”, which you can listen to above. It’s simple yet brilliant. Other standouts on the album include “La La La” and “I’m in Miami Bitch”. Check it out and support the group if you like it.

Desi Hits! trekked it out to the desert in Phoenix, Arizona to catch up with the Gym Class Heroes as they concluded their tour with Lil Wayne and T-Pain! Instead of just interviewing them, we took over their concert arena’s tour bus garage for a wild game of Pitthu, or India’s take on dodge ball. Watch Kiran attempt to add some Desi flavor to their already wild tour tactics – do you think she will succeed?!

I promised I’d write this and believe me there is a lot to know about the my obsession with bandom.

In late 2006 the internet became more available to me – I stumbled upon a community in livejournal that was focused on bands under the Fueled By Ramen record label. Maybe it only took me a few weeks or so, but by the end of the year – I was fully obsessed with alternative music.

Because I was a sixteen year old, only child, my parents were overprotective and wouldn’t allow me to go to any shows. Upon turning seventeen, I went to my first concert – seeing AFI at Jannus Landing in ST. Pete, FL. Now at this point in my young life, I could tell you everything about the bandmembers, that Davey was straightedge and vegan, Jade was also vegan, Hunter and Adam were vegetarian, etc. I became straightedge because of Davey Havok actually and have been for over two years now.

But I digress (considering AFI is not under Fueled By Ramen). FBR has a different genre of music, more of a alternative rock/pop rock sound. With bands like Cobra Starship and The Academy Is…, Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco, it was easy for me to become obsessed. Basically their music became the soundtrack of my life, it was nonstop, their posters littered my room, I begged to go to shows (In my high school career, I made it to Four or Five (sadly enough)), I drew X’s on my hands with sharpies, the band names’ on my wrists.

But now, I’ve become a more cultured fan, left the childish aspect of my obsession behind. No more sharpies…but, I can now offer you a plethora of facts. I can tell you that Gabe Saporta (cobra starship) is 6′3”, that Ryland Blackinton (cobra) is 6′6”, a half and inch taller than Travis McCoy (gym class heroes), who’s about four inches taller than William Beckett (the academy is). I can tell you where they were born and how many places they’ve lived in and where they are now, I can tell you where Gerard Way (my chemical romance) met his wife Lyn-Z (mindless self indulgence) or about that time that Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz (of Fall Out Boy) almost ended the band last year because Pete was stressing Patrick out too much.

I’d like to call myself a refined fangirl, yes, I am one of those that attend shows, meet band members and freak out. I made Ryland Blackinton (cobra starship) a shirt and he gave me a bear hug (best moment of my life), sometimes though, I’m not so suave. Upon meeting William Beckett last year, I promptly forgot my own name and told him that ‘his music was fun to listen to in the car’. He gave me a confused look and signed my magazine, smiling albeit. I realized that my band husbands must have quite a tolerance for fans like myself.

As for band husbands? I have over thirty, the number may have increased or decreased over the years, but my favorites are Ryland Blackinton, William Beckett, Gabe Saporta, Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Brendon Urie – the list goes on.

As a fangirl, I sympathize with their plights. The tragic breakup of Panic! At The Disco, was a sad day for me – I moped around (found out at work). But, oddly enough, both new bands P!ATD and The Young Veins seem to be doing pretty great! I’m lucky enough I got to see them last fall as the original band, otherwise I would have been crushed. I read the interview in which Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy) almost left the band because of the stress (I’m guessing Pete Wentz related) – OR that time he got arrested this summer. While I panicked over his arrest, I also considered him to be a certified badass and that he was undoubtedly my favorite band husband (currently: he’s lost a lot of weight and is more gorgeous). Sadly though, Fall Out Boy, after the release of their Greatest Hits cd is going on hiatus :’(, I’m actually really sad about that. But I’ll just patiently wait!

But my favorite bands give their fans treats too, The Academy Is… has a serial video podcast that they post each week while on tour called TAI TV. Each mini episode ranges from 2-7 minutes long and usually has a funny plot or just tour updates. Cobra Starship has something similar with their CobraCam.TV, just when I thought I was spoiled enough with TAI TV, CobraCam (featuring the love of my life Ryland Blackinton) is hilarious. Fall Out Boy posted tour updates too, with funny parts throughout their touring.

Ohhh and the fanclubs. In my lifetime, I have been in four band fanclubs. The Academy Is…’ Santi’s Little Helpers, Fall Out Boy’s Overcast Kids (which I found out expired this march ), Cobra Starship’s CobraCrew, and AFI’s The Despair Faction. Fan clubs offer fans the opportunities to meet the band, get presale tickets, see exclusive videos and photos, and participate in contests. Rest Assured, I will rejoin the Overcast Kids when Fall Out Boy regroups after their hiatus!

Last but not least twitter. My band husbands love twitter, therefore, I love it too. Surprisingly enough, they update pretty regularly, several times a day or more! It’s always a treat to see pictures and 140 character posts about their days. I follow over 107 people on Twitter, I bet you anything that 90% of those people are in my favorite bands. There’s always so much to read about, plus, fan clubs and band related things become more accessible, like where to meet the band, when the presales start, etc.. Let’s just say I pay special attention to @BillBeckett, @InfinityOnRy, @GabrielSaporta & @PeteWentz.

After having been to 20+ shows in my lifetime, mostly seeing my favorite bands over and over again – I can proudly call myself a fangirl. Sure, the term can have negative connotations but I take it into stride! Bands should be lucky to have fans like me who love them so much!

Travis McCoy, vocalista do grupo Gym Class Heroes, é uma boa exceção. Ele segue um estilo diferente dos pretos do mainstream da música americana. Nem tanto pelas roupas, que são bem típicas da streetwear, mas pelo seu jeito, tatuagens, cabelo, piercings e alargadores.

As tatuagens são coloridas, diferente dos outros, que tem tatuagens só da cor preta. Repare, até os rappers pretos de pele mais clara (Caso do Travis) não costumam colorir as tatuagens. Um dia descubro de onde vem essa tradição, mas fica pra outra postagem.

Também usa um piercing bem grande no septo e alargadores. Além de uns acessórios diferenciados, como faixas, munhequeiras, cachecóis…

(Certa vez,  Travis foi preso por dar uma microfonada num cara, em um show. Motivo? O cara o chamou de “a fucking ignorant nigger”, uma ofensa racista bem feia. Microfonada bem dada do McCoy. Pena ele não cantar usando um tijolo.)

A foto foi retirada da revista Complex, que é sensacional. Travis aparece usando os clássicos tênis Nike Air Force One (Mid) e óculos Wayfarer de grau.

It’s Saturday…I think you know what that means.  The night time is the right time.

Last Thursday, Gym Class Heroes performed down here at Georgia State University; another dope event I had to miss out on for no apparent reason. Lucky I have some friends that are nice with a Nikon to get me some snaps. Check out a few more photos from the event after the jump.

A bit of Alternative Hip Hop today. Yes you have heard them. No you probably didn’t like them.

The newest album (The Quilt) with that awful ‘Cookie Jar’ song has tainted them a bit because ‘As Cruel As School Children’ (the one with ‘Cupids Chokehold’ on) and ‘The Papercut Chronicles’ are decent pop/alt hip hop albums.

Cupids Chokehold is probably the worst song on the album but was the lead single and got them their first big hit, I think the video with a (just) pre fame Katy Perry had a lot to do with that… The radio friendly song ain’t bad, its just the worst song on an album full of win. The song was also on ‘The Papercut Chronicles’ and had a different music video but was slightly remixed and released again for ‘As Cruel As School Children’

The lyrics are brilliant and range from egotistical rapping about sexing up his teachers to finding love on Myspace (Yes the album is actually so old [2006! Ancient!] people still used Myspace then!) and the whole album is based around a high school theme with the album being split into different ‘periods’

Best song is probably ‘Clothes Off’ which takes samples from a classic 80’s funk song by Jermaine Stewart called ‘We Dont Have To Take Our Clothes Off’. Dont let the fact that the fat one from Fall Out Boy does the singing parts put you off though.

This is the Jermaine Stewart song. Feel the 80’s-ness!

Just because we all love to see Katy Perry, have the Cupid’s Chokehold video as well. The original version from Papercuts is underneath.
