Electric guitar plus electronic music.

 
 

Guitar Hero Christmas Lights

Guitar Hero Christmas Lights

We are insanely jealous of this kid's Christmas Xbox system. We're sure Clark Griswald is jealous, too.

 

Alternate Archuleta Guitar Hero Ad

Alternate Archuleta Guitar Hero Ad

Child pornography is "Risky Business" so guess the title still works, too bad he didn't win.

 

Tesla Guitar Amp

Jack White is pissed he didn't think of this.

 

DJ Hero

DJ Hero

Because playing Guitar Hero was still a little too close to making actual music.

 

2007 Air Guitar Champion

2007 Air Guitar Champion

This is all it takes to win the World Championship of Air Guitar? Ochi Yosuke won the 2007 crown with an Offspring backing track and an ugly tiger sweater.

 

Armless Guitar Player

Armless Guitar Player

I like street performers that actually bring something new to the table, to make me appreciate their disadvantaged-ness. Like playing an instrument with your feet.

 

Acute - Trouble

Acute - Trouble

Acute are a trio from Los Angeles who play pop music that is equally melodic and hooky. One song will have roaring power pop guitars and the next will lull you into submission with lush string arrangements and harpsichord solos! Check out their debut LP, “Arms Around a Stranger,” out now on Help Records.

 

Dinosaur Jr. - Alone

Dinosaur Jr. - Alone

Yeah that’s an acoustic guitar that J Mascis is playing the holy hell out of, but he’s added some bells and whistles like only Dinosaur Jr. can.

 

Live at LG: Wax On Radio - Today I Became A Realist

Live at LG: Wax On Radio - Today I Became A Realist

Wax On Radio are a collective from Logan Square, an area on the West side of Chicago that is quickly becoming a hotbed for new and emerging indie acts. They were kind enough to swing by our studio while they were on tour and we always welcome bands from the Midwest through our doors. Plus anyone that plays the guitar upside down is pretty awesome in our book!

 

Live at LG: Eastern Conference Champions - To The Wind

Live at LG: Eastern Conference Champions - To The Wind

Eastern Conference Champions are old school. No fancy gimmicks or studio trickery. They just put one guy on drums, another on bass and have the singer bang out some guitar chords. The result is a refreshingly awesome blend of rock that will have your feet stomping and head nodding. Don’t believe me? Well they’re just a click away!

 

Live at LG: AMPOP - Carry On

Live at LG: AMPOP - Carry On

AMPOP are from Reykjavik, Iceland and they sound more like Radiohead than they do their countrymen Sigur Ros. Big melodies, soaring vocals and some pretty cool guitar effects highlight this performance. Look for a couple more songs in the near future.

 

Live at LG: Autodrone - Panic

Live at LG: Autodrone - Panic

Short textAutodrone are a four-piece from New York who usually play with much louder guitars, but were willing to come by our studios and strip it down for us. The result was a much different sound than that found on their debut record, Panic.

 

Live at LG: Sierra Swan – Don’t Say

Live at LG: Sierra Swan – Don’t Say

Sierra Swan was the first Live at Liquid Generation performance that featured only vocals and a piano. Guitars are soooo overrated.

 

Live at LG: Landon Pigg - Eggshells

Live at LG: Landon Pigg - Eggshells

Landon Pigg brought his guitar over to our studio and played a couple of intimate songs for us that we still can’t get out of our heads. This is the first song he played, called “Eggshells,” and look for more on the site soon.

 

Live at LG: The Village Green - Life On The Run

Live at LG: The Village Green - Life On The Run

The Village Green are a rock band originally from Portland, OR. If you like the Rock the way it used to be then they are right up your alley. Check out this guitar and piano version of the track “Life On The Run.”
