• Strung Out – Update -

  • 8 February 2010, 11:08 am – Jerry

  • After a few technical difficulties with the opening band and their drum kit, Strung Out played an amazing set. We were within the grips of one of the best punk/rock shows I have seen in a long time.

    The opening band “The Darlings” put on a great show. I had never heard them before, but it really set the tone for the night. They played the perfect amount of songs and had everyone buzzing as soon as they stepped ...

• Princenton – SXSW Watch

  • 8 February 2010, 10:05 am – @lstempler

  • So this is the blogging world eh? Before I begin my first music blog of all time, I would just like to make a quick reference to one of my favorite scenes in Almost Famous.  Specifically the part when the infamous rock writer Lester Bangs is introduced while he is being interviewed as radio station.  I love the part when he just rips each album down from the wall, and exclaims “Give me the Guess Who, at least ...

• New Music from Beck

  • 8 February 2010, 9:50 am – Bowden

  • Do artists uninspired by profit who simply love to make music exist in the mainstream?

    It appears so. The recording artist Beck released another Record Club video last week on Beck.com, a cover of Skip Spence’s Dixie Peach Promenade.

    In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, Beck’s Record Club is an experiment of sorts where various artists are invited to his studio to remake a classic album. The goal is not to replicate the album, ...

• Wye Oak – SXSW Watch

  • 6 February 2010, 11:20 pm – @richiecordaro
  • Wye Oak is a Baltimore duo comprised of Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack, who will be bringing their indie tunes down south for a performance at SXSW 2010. Wye Oak's latest album The Knot is the duo's second release on Merge Records. Several publications have praised the album, including Spin Magazine, which said: "While the blurry folk-noise fusion of Wye Oak's first album had an offhand charm, Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack's follow-up is tougher and more engrossing." Check out Wye Oak's video for "Sight, Flight, Sight, Fight" below:

• Primavera Festival – 2010 -

  • 6 February 2010, 10:57 pm – Travis

  • In just a few months, right after SXSW concludes, the music festival season starts kick off at a rapid pace.

    For many of us, this means traveling to festivals like Lollapalooza, Cochella and Bonaroo, yet we often don’t consider what’s happening overseas in Europe.

    One festival that has garnered attention over the last couple years is Primavera, which takes place in Barcelona Spain from May 27th-29th.

    2010 marks the tenth run of the festival, that in previous decades has seen the ...

• Woven Bones – SXSW Watch

  • 5 February 2010, 12:51 pm – Courtney

  • This year, SXSW will feature home grown trio Woven Bones, a band known for using their magic time machine button that effectively takes listeners back to the middle 70’s when Iggy Pop was still cutting himself on stage and the Stooges were creating the backbone for what would later be called Punk on this side of the pond.

    Their most current release, The Minus Touch 12” is available now in limited edition release from Southern California’s  Zoo Music.

    Woven Bones have recently ...

• Gay Pirates and Jessica Alba – Meet Cosmo Jarvis

  • 5 February 2010, 12:47 pm – Bowden
  • What do gay pirates and Jessica Alba have in common? It’s hard to say what fans have in store for this contemporary entertainment-renaissance man. Not only does he write and perform his music, he is also a filmmaker, poet, and of coarse a campaigner for the equal treatment of gay pirates. His latest video, A Tale of Two Dicks, explores the comical facets of sharing an apartment with people you might care for but truly can’t stand. Written and directed by Mr. Jarvis, the video makes for one gay viewing (pun intended). For this Jersey boy turned Englishman, film making is just one avenue to release his comically creative exploits and rest assured, if you enjoyed the movie, you’re gonna love his music.

  • Set to perform during SXSW this March in Austin, TX are the Danish indie rockers, Choir of Young Believers.

    Fronted by 26-year old Jannis Noya Makrigiannis, who has drawn comparisons to legendary vocalists like Neil Young and Thom Yorke, Choir of Young Believers is set to deliver a raw and ethereal performance much like the ones that have helped them generate a buzz in their homeland.

    Hitting SXSW with an array of instruments and orchestral arrangements, this band, which becomes a 7-piece ...

• Woods – SXSW Watch

  • 4 February 2010, 2:29 pm – Bowden
  • The good bands keep rollin’ into the SXSW 2010 lineup. Check out this Brooklyn based psych-rock group Woods Family Creeps. Their video To Clean, is straight off their most recent self-titled album and it totally kicks ass. A stark departure from contemporary music video making, To Clean is a drug induced kitchen coral vacillating between live performances and straight shenanigans. The video may only be a skosh over two minutes, but filmed in stop-motion fashion with quirky gestures and hippie aesthetics, there’s no doubt this Brooklyn quartet plans to take viewers to a time of shaggy hair, free love, and a whole lot of…well…we’ll just leave it at free love. Enjoy! Check out this Brooklyn based psych-rock group Woods Family Creeps. Their video To Clean, is straight off their most recent self-titled album and it totally kicks ass.

• Four Weeks Down – 44 to go…

  • 3 February 2010, 4:49 pm – Jamie

  • Last night at Cranes was pretty cool.

    I decided I didn’t want to have to switch my capo up and down the neck of my guitar and retune every time, so I made it a point to make all my songs capo’d on the 3rd fret regardless of where they were supposed to be normally.

    I was told I played a “hill-billy” set, which didn’t offend me at all.  I played one of my favorite Ryan Adams songs, “This House ...

• LA Music Adventure Thursday: Citay, Fruit Bats, the Branches, Restaurant

  • 3 February 2010, 12:38 pm – Chris

  • After a long, stressful trip on the Metro 704 bus, I was more than ready to relax to music at the Echoplex on January 28th. With the lineup of Citay and Fruit Bats playing, I knew that I could expect to do so. Citay is a septet that plays a driving feel-good style of rock that revolves around rhythmic acoustic guitar. It gallops casually along but made epic by male & female vocal harmonies and stuttered yet ...

• Coast to Coast with STS9

  • 3 February 2010, 8:20 am – Bowden
  • Paging all electro-heads, STS9 has just confirmed their coast-to-coast US tour in support of their new album, Ad Explorata which hit stores this past December. If there is ever a group to break the piggy bank for to go see live it is STS9; their live shows consistently deliver high-pulse fist-pumping action leaving viewers in a cloudy fog of elctro-fuzz with a dash of ebullient hysteria. Though Ad Explorata explores different avenues of electro drum and bass, rest assured their maturation as artists in now way compromises the ferocity of their live performances.

• My Thoughts on The Grammys….

  • 3 February 2010, 7:51 am – Rosenblatt

  • It’s gotta be tough to put this show on. You have to cater to so many different fractions; pop, rock, alt, urban, rap, country and classical.  I guess there is no way to please everyone if you’re running this kind of gig.

    I was very happy to see Taylor Swift win some awards; I think that after the MTV awards show, people were really rooting for her. The night’s other big winner was Beyonce who’s basically the ...

• New and Breaking – The Soft Pack -

  • 2 February 2010, 4:42 pm – Travis

  • The Soft Pack (formerly the Muslims) are four gents from San Diego who make stripped down garage rock.

    The first time I heard them play was when they opened for seminal English punk band Wire in Los Angeles – not a bad introduction.

    Since then, the band has toured the globe and generated a healthy buzz; the limelight is quickly approaching.

    Today,   have released their self titled debut via Kemoado records and it’s anything but soft.

    In order to stay on ...
