We'll admit we're still not exactly sure HOW the Heaven Seventies should be musically classified. Are they a dance-rock band? A disco-funk combo? Electro-gangsters? Remixers? DJs? All that and a bag of chips?
They've given Chicagoist this exclusive unreleased track to offer to you folks, free of charge. It's undeniable groove, sex-drenched vocals and rib-rattling bassline are the perfect combination to deliver on the promise of a forgotten weekend. We recommend playing it on repeat in order to amp you up and ramp up the party for the next couple days.
Don't let the photo above fool you, this is a crew full of freaky motherfuckers.



Wow. Cool. They used a swear word. Such renegades.
Wow. Cool. You gave feedback that had absolutely nothing to do with the actual music. Such a renegade.
On what planet do titles not matter when it comes to art, especially in genres such as pop music where "edginess," whether perceived, real, ironic or otherwise, has been an obsession since long before Elvis?
My comment had everything to do with the band's art. I am not sure what galaxy you are going to for your criteria.
Did you ever consider that their song, including it's juvenile title, was part of their work?
I don't think they're is any such thing as being a renegade anymore. I don't like it if I feel that you're trying to shock me. That's boring. It's been done. To death.
I liked the song ok, but there were riffs in it that reminded me of Eminem's "Superman" .
I don't think they're trying to shock anyone. They're just trying to have fun.
Then they succeeded, because it is a fun little piece.
Exactamundo.
Ok, 5 posts and it seems like only Tankboy has actually listened to the track. I dig the hell out of it and want to hear more.
The rest of you should really shut the F*ck up.
Old people, sheesh.
Yeah, we should. Never question, never make other point outside the scope of the discussion laid down by the director.
Deal with it. Some people find interesting things in different aspects that have nothing to do with the main point--that is how communication, and life in general, fucking works . Frankly, I shared Ward's thoughts upon reading this post, and I am sure other readers did, too. It's a valid point when it comes to modern music.
Young people--christ. So freaking sensitive about their pop music.
Have you heard the song yet? Cause that's what the post is about.
Turn it up real loud you horrible old troll. :)
Indeed, I have. Fun, nothing special.
Still an interested in the title though, despite your silly annoyance at that interest.
Horrible? Do you even know that word means? Bit dramatic, don't you think?
But I admit my haircut and "horrible" acne make me resemble a troll in the dusk.
Who cares what you think? About anything really?
Silly troll.
@InDaKnow
Are these them?

Cause that is LOVELY. Thanks.
jeezus man ... relax. i don't disagree this powerpop shit is invigorating. some people just find Tankboy's taste to be absolute shit. Maybe he could review the new DOOM album or something a little less white, a little less hipster and a helluva lot better.
Apparently you do because you keep responding.
You do have the choice to ignore, which is pretty effective on blogs such as this.
But hey, keep up that healthy attitude regarding discourse--or, as you like to call it, "Discuss only what I want you to discuss, and nothing more, or otherwise you are socially unacceptable," or something along those lines.
Hey Matilda how about you drink a hot cup of shut the fuck up?
Can I get that in a to-go cup, or is that extra?
Again, that's the best you have?
Hey! I'm an "old people"! But this track is funk-a-licious.
(Crap. I used a made-up word. Will everyone give me shit?)
It's also Dance-A-Bitchin' ...
Jess
You should listen to early 2000 Avenue D, it's good to see the early New York City 2000 dance underground has final found approval in Tankboy's ear.
It's worth noting I am indeed a longtime fan of Avenue D as well. "Do I Look Like A Slut?" still finds its way into overly nostalgic DJ sets o' mine from time to time, so yes, it makes sense I dig this sound.
Then don't make it out like it's something new, call it what it is, and since that movement is getting close to the 10 yr mark, perhaps we should call it "Retro Clash" . I admit it's a fun song but sounds dated very dated.
Someone put jmagic and matilda back into their nursing homes. Seriously, are these people 70?
Fucking christ, Matty--it's a legitimate question, if not the most important in the world--and if you don't think so, you know less about pop music and its history and ethos than you pretend to know, and certainly less than I do.
Yeah, I'm old--I remember when curse words were edgy and shocking in pop music lyrics and titles, and then when they became ironic, and then when they were mere simple-minded fun. I simply wonder, like Ward, what's the point of such titles now, that's all.
Hey look I found jmagic and matilda's portrait
http://tinyurl.com/ddvkpw
Wow, Matty, your sense of humor is so ... uh ... edgy and fresh.
Seriously, that's the best you can do with the power of the intertubes at your fingertips?
Yes, but which is which?
I found a picture of them listening to some more age appropriate music.

That is certainly a better picture, but has anyone every told you that most assumptions are wrong?
Too young to have learned that yet?
oh I insulted your band of choice by recommending that we try to liven this shit up with some hip hop and that makes me 70 years old? man, you ARE fucking stupid.
You rail on anything and everything that has even a semblence of youth and culture. I mean, what do you do all day? Play with cats? Are you a cat lady? Is that your problem? Too many cats?
So, you are pissed because sometimes I comment more than you?
Are do you get pissed because I don't rag on fat chicks, like you do so often?
Yeah, you nailed it, Matthew: Cats. In my case, pumas and endangered panthers. Don't tell the Interior Department, though. Those fines are rough.
Seriously, I asked a question about the role of edgy language in pop culture/art. Excuse the fuck out of me. This affects your life how? Just ignore it if you don't like it--silence kills on blogs and most other forms of communication.
How fragile is your emotional/intellectual life is this really bothers you?
Do you always have to make it about yourself? Sad troll. Without our attention do you even exist?
If silence kills, you're the highlander.
That's a tv show. I know they don't let you watch the magic box at the home unless it's Jeopardy or that nice Judge Judy.
So, asking a question is making it about myself?
OK.
What do you call it when you bitch and scream that people don't stay on point?
And you are still not ignoring me ...
Seriously, give it a try.
Ever watch The Simpsons? I have. Great satire. Ever see how Lisa gets frustrated dealing with mobs of stupid people? That might be a good comparison.
As for highlander, I've been to Scotland, so maybe that's what you mean.
matilda is totally Angela Martin from the office.
lol, are you on a party committee matilda?
So, you have to compare me to pop culture, heh? That's the depth of your intelligence?
That is what high-schoolers do, Matty.
Actually high schoolers tend to start pointless arguments with people in the hopes of getting some kind of attention.
Culture snobbery makes your skin leathery.
So now I'm a snob?
I would love to see an outline of your logic on that one. I suspect it goes like this: She doesn't like the same things I do, and asks a question that has no place, therefore--snobbery.
Hell, I though the song was fun, if not classic, and it's neat to offer it through this medium, and pretty smart, too. Perhaps you missed that point.
@matty
Real Cats are alot more fun to play with then LOLCATS
It really seems you and JessNevins love music that was happening almost 10 years ago like at the turn of the century. Perhaps you are the old ones.
O.K. kids, calm down. Remember, this post was just supposed to be about a free download of a fun pop track...
she started it!
Heh, sorry man. The reflexive "UH, 'SCUSE ME, 'SCUSE ME! I HAVE AN ISS-EW" internet mindset just begs to be mocked. Back under your bridge Matilda.
Funny, I see you as having the troll like behavior here...or maybe more of an angry little foot stomping pisher.
Matilda, even if you don't agree, usually backs up all posts with well thought out facts.
btw, I did listen to the whole song, as I stated in my earlier post, and I did actually like it. I wouldn't buy it, but I'll listen to it.
It was nothing to get into an uproar over....but that's why this site allows comments..so we can all chime in, loved or unloved.
Yup yup!
The irony of it all? I don't think any of those guys in the picture could...
ZING!
Love the band name, love the song title. However, this ain't my cup of tea. This sounds like it was made on a laptop by bored couple.
I'll admit I'm out-of-it, musically speaking. Perhaps this kind of thing is hot shit right now.
Catchy, but arranged poorly. A more competent producer could probably make a great remix from this.
First of all, It's funny that the 44 comments are mostly bitching about the other 34 comments made....
Secondly, these guys are a friend's of a friend of mine's band, so I gave it a listen.... not my style, but catchy...
Catchy is all I can really say (sorry sabz)
I can't believe it took 5 people to put that song together, and I do kind of think they were going for either shock value, or at least a guarantee that it would get on the rotation at Roscoe's Sat night playlist...
I love seeing the posts that elicit the most responses. Can't wait for Friday's "Whatcha Wearin" segment. Hopefully they're not wearing anything that I have in my wardrobe. If they aren't, then he/she is a tasteless fashion lemming.
wow, i searched for some more of this groups music... it's fucking amazing! different from this track, but SO GOOD! as for the above ZING..... something tells me they're getting more than you are!
Thank you for playing, random commenter. I'm sure your post will generate tons of interest in your band. We're all going to buy this now. Your newest single will go platinum and put you guys on the map. Watch out, Kanye - here we come Grammy awards!!!
