The band is kind of like a fem-rock Voltron, built of members from various indie rock bands of note: Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weis of Sleater-Kinney, Mary Timony of Helium, and Rebecca
MP3 On August 23rd, Connecticut MC Apathy will be dropping his latest album, Honkey Kong. “Check to Check,” which gets some production credits from Evidence–yeah, from Dilated Peoples–is all about being broke as a joke. Seems Apathy is pretty open about his money problems whether they’re because

A new “double video” for two new YACHT songs from the duo’s recently-released LP Shangri-La.
