We have new songs. We have new shoes. We have the same keyboards. Come see all of it on November 7th at Arlene's Grocery where we'll be reuniting with DJ Swaaan. HOLLER. And in the meantime, download this:

The Bad Juice

2009-05-02T13:27:00.000-07:00

In U2's 1988 documentary Rattle and Hum, Bono performs "Bad" shirtless while wearing black suspenders. When we first saw this, we cried. Then we ordered Chinese food. Then we made this track. Grab some Kleenex. Buy some suspenders. Bump this.

Wide Awake

The Chrome Dipper

2009-04-10T09:57:00.000-07:00

Two new tracks. Dipped in and dripping with chrome, giving off the sweet scent of a '96 East Coast regatta or the interior of an Orvis Edition Grand Cherokee.

Dropped this one at the last Public Assembly show but forgot to upload it until now. Enjoy.

Layover In San Juan

One their way back to NYC, the duo exchanged gifts at the airport. Here are a few that they'd like to share with you on the 24th.

Indian Giver is coming out of hibernation for one night only. Sean D and AJ are chartering seaplanes from their island escapes in Cuba and Roosevelt Island respectively for another show at Public Assembly Jan 24th. Here's a taste of the new payload.

Give to the Kids

Few Megapixels. Many Emotions. No Emoticons.

Neat. Neato. Oh Schtick. No Schtick. Stick. Sick. GDP. RNC. DNC. Run DMC. CVS. UBS. Duane Reade. AP History. AP Spanish. Learning Curve. PSAT. Halloween. STP. Pearl Jam. indian giver. indian giver. INDIAN GIVER. LIVE. 10/4/08. This is a glimpse; this is an example that needs no citation; this is a necessary condition of excellence; this is poorly edited and is of low visual quality; this is for your children. See you on January 24th.

Still Crushing

2008-10-15T08:27:00.000-07:00

This one was debuted the other night when AJ and I came out into society like a couple of debutantes in shiny Vera Wangs. Turning heads, taking names.

An Early Christmas

2008-09-24T06:28:00.000-07:00

No presents, no cookies, no milk, no bullshit. Just Indian Giver doing it live for the first time at Public Assembly in Williamsburg. Come for cheap drinks, music you love, and a few surprises. The evening will be brought to you by our good friends at New Rome Clothing.

Sean writes a song about the streets (seriously)

2008-08-20T11:31:00.000-07:00

Guys, sometimes when nobody's around... I rap. Judge if you will, but once I got back to Bushwick a realized that I can't leave rap alone... the game needs me.

Show Stoppers and Beach Competitions

Because SD and I were born with "who gives a fuck" dispositions, and because that phrase will undoubtedly become some kind of IG mantra, I have decided to upload an unfinished, unpolished, but inevitable show stopper. I've also decided to do this because I am stuck without producing capabilities overseas and SD keeps uploading hot shit, so I gotta dig deep into my catalog (this was recorded about 5 weeks ago) in order to keep/step up. I'll finish this when I get home, so keep this version for eBay. Oh, and Cape Cod ain't got shit on Brighton (semi-true statement).

Update 8/27/08: The track is now mixed and completed. Holler at it.

Add That Shit Up

Tegan and Sara meet GFK at an awards show afterparty

2008-08-14T16:12:00.000-07:00

Hello from a makeshift studio on Cape Cod. The salty air of Chatham, MA is apparently as conducive to making aggressive hip-hop as that of Wu-tang's old stomping grounds. Staten Island stand up!

Walking with a GFK

Two New Heaters

2008-07-28T19:10:00.000-07:00

We built the first track, a (mostly) original Indian Giver song, around the guitar lick from "Ragoo" from Kings of Leon's stellar album Because of the Times. Sean D on vocals.

The second is a mash-up of Spoon's "You Got Your Cherry Bomb" and Clipse's "Mr. Me Too"

Enjoy.

Coast to Coast

I Got Your Cherry Bomb

Here's how it works...

2008-07-21T09:52:00.000-07:00

It's a mixtape. You've probably never bought one out of the trunk of a car, but we've read in XXL that that's the classic venue through which hip-hop mixtapes are distributed. This one goes beyond sides A and B, beyond CD-R capacity. It goes on as long as we want it to. We upload new music as soon as we finish it. Visit the blog regularly to check for new shit to bump in your Jeep. When you play the songs in your iTunes they will already be as organized as tracks from "The Bends" or Katy Perry's new album "One of the Boys". But imagine if you got to discover bonus tracks for the Katy Perry's album consistently for the next few years!!!! Sick, right?

Sometimes the music is 100% original. Sometimes it's a mashup of a couple songs. Sometimes we'll sample a song and write something new over that. Sometimes we sing. Sometimes we rap. Sometimes we dance. Mostly it's Hip-hop. Sometimes it's not.

Reach way down to the crotch of your Jnco's. Put a finger in the air...

This is INDIAN GIVER... Taking It All Back: The Mixtape
