Glockabelle live on the BJ Rubin Show 36th Birthday Spectacular

I had a blast performing as part of BJ Rubin's 36th Birthday Show on August 15, 2014 on MNN1 in Manhattan. Check out the live taping below and hear my "Washing Machine" and "FFFs." Kevin Shea from Talibam! is joining me on drums.

Stop! Stop! Don't Touch!

Here's my take on the 1963 French hit single by Patricia Carli "Demain tu te maries/Arrête, arrête! Ne me touche pas" (Tomorrow you are getting married/Stop, stop! Don't touch me). This song gets 15th place in the rankings of French 45's ever sold. 

Carmencita dances to The Cat Song

Here's what it looks like when a very talented Spanish dancer from 1894 dances to my song about two cats, a couple of mice, and a swimming pool.

I wanna be your boyfriend

Glockabelle covers another Ramones classic en français.

"Epically magical and wacky moments of the music and comedy variety will certainly transpire this evening as staunch DIY visionary host BJ Rubin opens his doors to you (yes, you!) to be part of his audience as he presents a super-rare live show taping of his longtime seizure-sparking, ape-shit public access program, The BJ Rubin Show." - BRAD COHAN

sophisticated pling pling

The NY Times says Glockabelle makes "busy metallic pling"

[6.14.08] Technique in action: The glockenspiel has a new heyday in indie-rock, following a lineage from Phil Spector through the E Street Band through U2’s first album to the Arcade Fire. But I haven’t seen one played the way the Fiery Furnaces did: not with mallets, but with thimbles on fingertips. That can make for more simultaneous notes, more busy metallic pling.
