VIDEO: Passion Pit - "Sleepyhead"

Passion Pit announced today they have to cancel their May headlining tour of the US/UK due to personal issues. The band had this to say:

Due to a personal situation at home, we will unfortunately not be able to play our May UK/Euro dates. We feel really awful about this and hope that everyone understands. We are looking forward to getting back overseas soon to make up all these shows for you.

They are expected to be back in the UK for festival appearances and rescheduled UK shows this Summer.

Now that the bummer news is out of the way, here is the good news. Their new album, Manners, is due to release May 18th, and with that comes new singles, photos, tours, and videos! Please enjoy the new video for their single "Sleepyhead"...

BONUS:
Here is another fresh new remix from the "We're Not DJs" duo AFGHAN RAIDERS. They mixed, mashed, mangled, and transformed a new Broken Spindles (Joel Peterson of The Faint) track called "The Moist Red Mess" from their latest album Kiss/Kick. Enjoy :)

VIDEO: Rainbow Arabia - "Omar K"

Badical Beats had the pleasure of meeting the two beautiful people that make up Rainbow Arabia at our SXSW party a couple weeks ago. Their music is a fascinating combination of electronic, world, garage, and indie, and I highly recommend you check out more of them on their Myspace page. Below is their brilliant new video for the single "Omar K". Yay.
