Yes Giantess’ Jan Rosenfeld Wants You To Dance, Played with Little Boots in New York
PMA was at Little Boots’ Bowery show featuring Yes Giantess and The Plastiscines Wednesday. We got to talk to Jan Rosenfeld of Yes Giantess outside the venue standing in front of the JMZ Bowery station subway entrance. It was a short, five minute chat before the start of the show.
As you know, Yes Giantess (formerly just Giantess) are the four piece synthpop band from Boston that caught our attention after showing up in the pages of NME amid much praise. Jan’s the lead vocalist and songwriter of the group. We asked him to explain a few things about the band and he obliged. Below, we discuss everything from porn to Twitter. Jan enlightens us on the band’s influences, how they got hooked up with miss Boots herself, and their undying drive to get you kids dancing. Continue reading →

Super Cool MP3 Grab Bag #9
I do these grab bag posts every once in a while. These are basically songs that have just barely missed my radar. Some older than others, but they’re all pretty good.

Yes Giantess
I was never really sold on Yes Giantess (formerly just Giantess). Something always felt off. But when NME started hyping them up for their Radar tour, I started paying better attention. Say what you will about NME, but they have turned me onto some great acts (La Roux, Friendly Fires, Little Boots, The Big Pink), so I’ll give anyone they hype a second chance.
The electropop outfit’s “Tuff ‘n’ Stuff” was released earlier this year by Neon Gold, backed by “You Were Young.” The first half of the song is uninteresting, but somewhere near the 2 minute mark, “Tuff ‘n’ Stuff” is injected with Grade A pop magic. The connection wasn’t instant, at least not with me, but with a few listens, it becomes painfully clear that this song is pretty damn great.

Neon Gold have also posted a brand new Yes Giantess remix of Erik Hassle’s debut UK single “Don’t Bring Flowers.” I’m not a big Hassle fan, but for those who must know, he is an up and coming Swedish pop act. You might dig his “Hurtful.”
