Wallpaper. Indian Summer Desert Session
Friday, November 5th, 2010For most people, driving past endless truck stops and dusty, sun-drenched freeway towns doesn’t really inspire much creativity. In fact, such uneventful treks can tend to be pretty boring for everyone involved. This isn’t the case for Wallpaper., as Ricky Reed checked in from the road somewhere in Nevada during Wallpaper.’s current tour with an impromptu car rehearsal of his newest creation, “Indian Summer”.
The song, a singalong, synthed-out road trip jam, captures the feeling of being stuck on the road for hours on end, driving in oppressively hot Autumn conditions towards a more enjoyable destination.
Ricky even says so himself, introducing the video with these words:
“Touring is hard! While we’re off driving through random parts of Nevada, the SF Bay Area is having an Indian Summer and the Giants win the World Series! Wish we were home today celebrating with yall! So this desert driving tour rehearsal of our new song also titled “Indian Summer” is a tribute to our favorite place to be when its hot in Autumn. Brought to you courtesy of flip camera, duct tape, and red bull.”

Donwill “Love Junkie” (Wallpaper LIVE Remix)
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Imagine you’re chatting up a head-to-toe hottie at a show. She’s a bit bored but not enough to flee the scene, so you stay the course. You talk about your dreams, she’s interested, she admires your passion, she buys you a drink, she says “cool” when you ask for her number. Feeling yourself you decide to ditch the playbook and invite her over for a dip in the pool (you’ll have to imagine actually having a pool too). The next day, she’s at your door with a bikini that won’t quit, a case of beer, food to bbq, and a posse of equally foxy friends who came to play water volleyball!
Put yourself in that place. Are you there?
What you’re feeling is 10,000 times better than watching this video, but the scenarios are similar: a great song gets better with a brand new outfit and a little help from some friends. – yourstru.ly

Boxed in by layers of percussive funk, dark synthesizer blurt and crushing bass, Eric Frederic lost himself inside of Ricky Reed, the character he’d long ago conceived as Wallpaper.’s frontman. He gave in to Ricky’s rampant narcissism, love for party and supreme indifference, and as a result, discovered the guiding duality behind Doodoo Face, the album: There’s sadness inside all that celebration. A little madness too.
But one needn’t know any of this to “get” Wallpaper. Just as it thrives under scrutiny, Doodoo Face bangs at face value, and the record’s title is a reference to that: a contorted expression inspired by discovering something unbelievably funky. From the cavernous thump and honking sax of opener “Indecent” to the warped hyphy of “ddd” to “Doodoo Face” itself, this is dark, nasty, load-bearing booty funk of the Oakland house party variety. It’s the part of Wallpaper. that Frederic and his flashier alter ego almost see eye-to-eye on. Is it satire? Sincerity? Something in between? Doodoo Face invites you to decide. – theindependentsf.com
Track of the Day: Donwill & Wallpaper.’s “Love Junkie”
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010If you’re waiting for the right season to crush out on someone, pop culture likes to lead young hearts into spring with songs fit for falling in love. Brooklyn’s Donwill and SF’s Wallpaper. and the Park got down for the remix of “Love Junkie.” The lyrics are kinda funny–about being addicted to someone you haven’t met–but hey, I guess in the Internet age anything can happen.
You can hear the original track on Donwill’s MySpace. Personally, I prefer the new remix, though, which has a high pop energy that puts you back in that junior high crush junkie frame of mind. (Plus, the new version, recorded locally at Different Fur Studios, has more of a King of Pop sound–which isn’t surprising, given Wallpaper.’s obsession with all things Michael Jackson.)
In other Wallpaper. news, the duo is taking its multi-media extravaganza to a bigger stage the next time they play in SF. Look for a show on Friday, May 7, at the Independent. If you want to see the group’s songwriting mastermind a little sooner, Eric Frederic will be performing with the Park, OG Bay Area funk and soul man Darondo, and lots of other guests at the Park’s live mixtape series at La Peña Cultural Center in Berkeley this Friday, April 3.
BiancaRocksOut. Getting My Glitter Back SXSW10 Edition
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010BiancaRocksOut: Getting my Glitter Back SXSW10 Edition
The week started with getting off the plane and running to the tumblr party… from there, everything was a crazy awesome blur. Lindsay welcomed me and giant pale Dutch Justin made a great partner in crime.
I love SXSW because most of my friends are in the same place at the same time (both internet and music) and I run around and adventure with them.
There were some other bands I caught and other people I partied with, and didn’t get video of because my phone and camera were dead half the time. But I still love you guys.
Music: Wallpaper- I Got Soul, I’m So Wasted (appropriate for my SXSW on so many levels)
Thanks so much Bianca : )
