Hey LA, this is Amazing Baby, they're from Brooklyn (who apparently already hate them, so they must be doing something right) and are on their way to being huge, like what MGMT is experiencing right now, and are playing little ole Bordello on Thursday night. A one-off show in Los Angeles for a band from New [...]
There are a couple of really good shows going on tonight on the West Side, one being The Sword's one-off show at the Viper Room on their night off from their opening spot on the Metallica tour.

Austin, TX by-the-way-of Nashville's Harlem's debut LP, the cheekily titled Free Drugs;-), is a wonderfully loose lofi punk garage rock record of ramshackle clang that sounds like the repeated opening and slamming shut of a drawer full of silverware over the bass lines on Bad Religion's 80-85. Think Mark Sultan and pretty much anything in [...]

Referring to what I wrote earlier this year after seeing Nudity at the Mountain Bar - Don't make the mistake of assuming a band with a name like Nudity is an ill-conceived late-to-the-party electroclash band, as you will surely miss out on some really exciting swirling psychedelic Hawkwind meets The Velvet Underground riding the MC5 [...]

Parts & Labor make a lot of noise. That is the usual sentiment expressed by critics of the band, and yes it is true, "noise" plays a large part in Parts & Labor's sound, but what should be noted is it is a highly focused noise. On their new album Receivers , an amalgamation of noise punk, indie rock and pop, Parts & Labor have [...]
