Just [...]

I would be a bit more excited about this news if we hadn’t already been notified of the band’s scheduled performance @ Fun Fun Fun Fest ‘09, but it should get the blood going for many of those in the cities listed on this tour. The return of The Jesus Lizard to the stage is [...]

As if we needed any more reasons to love St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) this piece on ABC’s Amplified piles on the adorableness. Have I mentioned….I heart St. Vincent?The St. Vincent show @ the Mohawk is rapidly approaching, and I have a feeling this one just might sell out. Just a feeling. Oh yeah..June 19th.Unfortunately, [...]

photos by : Joel SumnerSince being made painfully aware that I had been missing out on one of the greatest rock bands around currently, I’ve dedicated myself to the idea that, albeit a rare event, I was not to miss The Constantines live show if it came anywhere near Austin. It’s true, the band [...]

Brooklyn’s School of Seven Bells captured my attention @ SXSW 2009, and although Black Moth Super Rainbow were the main event for Tuesday’s show, the dreamy lush synth-rock sounds of SOSB secured future fans on this night, without a doubt. Bathed in deep red light, the Deheza twins backed by Benjamin Curtis, delivered a sexy, [...]

The Constantines are not new to the scene, nor should they really need much introduction. Why more people aren’t paying attention to this band is a bit beyond. Maybe we’ve found ourselves too caught up in the herd mentality of the current digital online music media machine, which has managed to ignore or put aside [...]

While many a band that started around the same time as, and even much after, have run their course, broken up, or just been drained of their creative juices, Yo La Tengo keeps trudging along, and still have a surprise or two up their musically sleeve.Yo La Tengo have a new recording in the bag, [...]

The Brooklyn trio, School of Seven Bells, left just enough of a positive impression on me during SXSW 2009, that I quickly marked Tue 6.2 on the calendar, when the bands scheduled appearance @ Mohawk surfaced. Wafting over the afternoon crowd, the lucid, soothing sounds produced by twins Alejandra and Claudia Deheza backed by former [...]

Seattle’s Cave Singers dropped one of the more welcomed debut records in 2007 titled Invitation Songs. A distant cry from the musical backgrounds of members Derek Fudesco, Peter Quirk, and Marty Lund, with it’s folk inspired, stripped down, acoustic sounds. Released on Matador Records, the release drew plenty of attention on the blog circuit and [...]

By now, I’m sure that most of you have seen the reports of the shooting that took place early this morning outside of the downtown club Spiro’s, injuring 6 people. Spiro’s happens to be next to one of our frequented haunts Emo’s. As we happened to leave the area just a few hours before, two [...]

I really do like Tiny Vipers. Great name first of all, and Jesy Fortino’s dark, seductive voice and guitar are hard to deny.2007’s Hands Across The Void probably didn’t get as much recognition as it deserved, but enough people are paying attention that Fortino’s sophomore effort will definitely stir up a blog buzz. The recording [...]

Fans of fuzzed out, hazy, sexy, guitar bliss should be heading to Emo’s tonight to catch LA’s trio, Gliss. I didn’t really mean that to rhyme, it just happened, and I don’t spend much time editing myself. I probably should.The band released it’s sophomore effort Devotion Implosion this past April, and have already spent some [...]

Manchester Orchestra’s debut release I’m Like A Virgin Losing A Child was an interesting character driven rock portrait, created by the mind of band leader Andy Hull. Although the album found little success, the band’s relentless touring schedule, finding them sharing the road with bands Brand New, Saves the Day, and even Kings of Leon, [...]

I honestly set myself up for utter dissappointment with Silversun Pickup’s sophmore release Swoon, but have found this recording to be in contention for one of the most listened to albums of this year. It’s a great rock record dense with orchestration, and the question of how they are going to fill in those spaces [...]
