Friendly Fires, White Lies and The Soft Pack packed out Radio Radio and likely gave Indianapolis their only chance to see some or all of these bands in a club setting. Next time around, they'll probably all be playing much larger venues at a much higher price. You can tell the plans surrounding these bands are already focused on that likelihood. Their crew brought in loads of extra/dramatic ...

With Dan Auerbach out there hogging all the Black Keys-related headlines, the band's other half, Patrick Carney, decided to get busy on his own project appropriately called Drummer. However, to get all indie-ironic, Carney plays bass for the new project.Carney is joined by a cast of players who have all spent time behind the kit at one point or another, which is actually where/why the name ori...

We've enjoyed snowboarder-turned-electro-rocker Trouble Andrew quite shamelessly in the past, and not too long ago, Santigold's BF released his own album. As a pro snowboarder I guess he has/had a lot of sponsors, and they're getting behind the re-release of his self-titled debut album (remixed and remasted) by giving away an Analog backpack full of goodies...The backpack contains:1 T-Shirt1 B...

(photo cred : Joshua Bean @ Melophobe)When you come back from SXSW, everyone asks you the same question : Who did you see that blew your mind and/or do they need to check out. In years past, I've named off about twelve to thriteen bands, never really being able to commit to just one. This year, my resounding answer has been fast and easy : Starfucker. I pretty much overlooked Starfucker's 20...

For such a small woman, Shara Worden aka My Brightest Diamond is an enormous presence once she takes the stage. She is impossibly engaging. Whether with humor or drama or simply the shear magnitude of her voice, she will comand your attention and you won't want to look away or risk a word at the peril of missing something incredible.Shara stopped by The Pop Machine to record four live in-stud...

Peter Walker, lead singer of Eulogies, recorded a series of five songs in his home/bedroom, dubbed them "The Homespun Sessions", and will be releasing them via the internetz up until their new album's April 7th release. The tracks are basically acoustic previews of that upcoming full-length, entitled Here Anonymous. The album will be released by Dangerbird Records.Eulogies - The Fight (I've C...

WAVVES played at least ten different times down in Austin during SXSW, and Spike.com is already dubbing him an "indie superstar." These are from the Rhapsody Rocks party at The Mohawk, which once again proved to be our favorite bar in Tejas. Pamplemoose provided video from the performance as well.(photo by MOKB Staff Photog : Dave Evans)(photo by MOKB Staff Photog : Dave Evans)(photo by MOKB...

Great job and thanks to all the bands as well as Aquarium Drunkard and Knuckle Rumbler. We'll have loads o..

Late last year on Louisville's waterfront, I witnessed one of the best My Morning Jacket shows ever (ok, I know anyone that has ever seen them live generally believes that about the show they were at too). It was truly a show that unified the city and celebrated the heroes of the hometown. Our friends at Tugboat Productions were on hand to document it all and put together this incredible vide...

After a very neutral feeling towards Metric's 2005 album Live It Out, it took me a few days to get excited about listening to their upcoming Fantasies LP. I finally gave it a spin this weekend, and as it turns out, that spin led to more spins. Now, I've always believed this band to be a little over-produced, and that remains the case here. The album kicks off with the first single, Help I'm...

If you can't tell by our SXSW lineups, we're a big fan of The Grates. The Aussies are heading over for the first time in quite a while and will play multiple dates at SXSW, including all three parties MOKB is associated with, and then hit NYC and LA. If you haven't seen this band live, you're missing out. You'll leave out of breath and with an ear-to-ear grin of happiness.The Grates - Burn B...

Our recording of it isn't quite ready, but WOXY debuted their session yesterday.Here We Go Magic - Suprise (live at WOXY)Catch the band next week during SXSW at the always great Gorill...

We had to abandon The MOKB Covers Project at certain times after it drew the attention and ire of a certain menacing four letters and our hosting service. We snuck it back in here and there, but it never was gonna have the same punch...loss of momentum and all. The Radiohead Creep post was a mess for a variety of reasons, but if we could do it all over again, we know we'd get it right a secon...

Did you know the first time I brought The Acorn to Indianapolis only 18 people came out to see them? So sad. I think things might be a little different if I tried these days. This past January Kayne West raved about the beauty of their Crooked Legs video. After holding down the opening slot for Fleet Foxes in the UK, the band is currently on tour opening for Elbow.They have also recently re...
