Supercute! "Not To Write About Boys" youtube version

2010-05-01T13:51:00.000+01:00

SUPERCUTEMUSIC — 19 April 2010 — Supercute!, New York City's teen-indie-bubblegum-pop sensation, presents their world debut video "'Not To Write About Boys"! The band features Rachel Trachtenburg (16, of the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players) and her bffs Julia Cumming (14) and June Lei (13). The video, directed by Sherief Elkatsha with art direction by Shawn Patrick Anderson, features a cameo appearance from singer, songwriter and Supercute! friend Jack Skuller... as the "boy" in question.

"Not To Write About Boys" is a song the New York Times calls "incisive and cynical about inter-band relations: two group members fall for the same guy, then realize its tearing the group apart, and sacrifice the guy for the sake of friendship. For kids, it's dark stuff." (Jon Caramanica, 1/10/10)

Supercute! is now opening for Kate Nash on her current North American tour, which started in Toronto on April 26th and ends in Los Angeles on May 11th.

SUPERCUTE! (Rachel Trachtenburg) – “Not To Write About Boys” Video (Stereogum Premiere)

2010-04-16T19:58:00.001+01:00

Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players’s Rachel Trachtenburg is 16 years old and working with a new, non-familiar band in addition to her solo work. Don’t take that as a sign she’s grown up — her frequent appearances speaking against Mayor Bloomberg are better indications of her maturity. Now for SUPERCUTE!’s first video, she and bandmates Julia Cumming and June Lei (ages 14 and 13, respectively) pick a less serious topic: They sing about boys and their potential band-damaging effects (hence the titular promise). It’s, you know, supercute stuff (especially since it’s sung over a single keyboard melody), but the girls throw in some hilarious details, like during the band’s mid-song argument, their insults are: “You shop at Old Navy / You wish you were indie.” The video was directed by Sherief Elkatsha.

2009-02-02T18:35:00.000Z

Animal rights activists wanted to end horse-drawn carriage rides in New York City. The carriage drivers, who recently joined with the teamsters, wanted to get the City Council to raise their fares. Both sides met at City Hall and hijinks ensued.

Rachel Sings @ City Hall

2009-02-02T18:31:00.000Z

Rachel Trachtenburg went in front of a crowd of teamsters and carriage drivers who were convinced she wanted to end their livelihoods and sang her song about horses. By the time she finished singing, the whole place broke out in applause, which is not normally allowed during sessions of the City Council.

BTW the teamster shouting in the beginning is nice in real life, I spoke with him a couple of times. It's important to remember we're all real people, we're not just the issues we believe in.

Rubber Room Song - Jason Trachtenburg & Catherine Dudley

2008-12-24T15:55:00.000Z

NYC Teachers are sent to Draconian Gulags awaiting Kafaka esque Trials. Jason takes up their plight.

Rubber Room (by P. Dejean & Jason Trachtenburg)
Rubber Room, we have padded walls to keep you here.
The beaurocracy it is crazy here.
An atrocity, no individuality is glorified
To conform in order to survive
There are those that call this dignified
But what comes from dignity is lack of creativity
In words to educate instead of miscommunicate
To a higher insubordinate
Teachers reassigned and misaligned
With punishment for commitments
To file claims
Legal action is our middle name
When you try to go against the grain
Leads to postulation, arbitration, education
The power points, a semesters tenure
Retention rights
Failing grades increase hostility
While receiving disability
Leaving teachers all alone
Dont disturb them with that calculated drone
Please be unique to who we are
And everybody escapes thus far.
