It's a bloody, swollen state of affairs on the IGIF front today, as I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled this morning. The procedure was something I'll never forget, but only because I'll never remember it either. Thanks to general anesthesia I was widsom teeth-full one second, and as I awoke from my drug-induced slumber I was wisdom teeth-less. It's sort of fitting in a way... as those ...

Thursdays at my office are pretty boring. Everyone sort of stands around wishing it was Friday, waiting for that sweet release like a weary Death Row inmate. I'd usually be sniffing dry erase markers and playing solitaire on my palm pilot in the men's room by now but today is different, different because of Pela.Their debut album "Anytown Graffiti" is just the anthemic, grandeous rock I need to...

Number 7. Pela "Anytown Graffiti" (the Great Society label) Pela is an American rock & roll band. At a time when the word ‘America’ has never been more fraught with meaning, songs that speak to our basic feelings and emotions about life could never be more resonant. Lost amongst all the geo-political tumult are the stories of every day America; the aches and pains and the beautiful possibiliti

Pela is without a doubt my favorite new band in the last 5 or 6 years. After hearing a sampling of some of the new material on the record slated for release sometime this year, I have been salivating for anything and everything Pela. Fortunately for me, there is a really great interview with lead [...]

I think the title says it all. I am just so angry to see that Pela and Bad Veins have only a few thousand friends on myspace but beyond half naked girls and little scene kids have like 15,000 friends on their accounts. Whyyy, universe? I don't understand the way brainless people work, but maybe again it's because they're brainless. Sooo, how about you brainiacs show these bands some love? Espec...

Ok, so they want 10 words I see. Well I'm really just digging this band at the moment. Let the music speak for itself.

Used on Veronica Mars (3.13 Mars, Bars) when Logan, Parker, Mac and Bronson come to the last of the challenges in their scavenger hunt.

On May 29, 2009, Pela performed four new songs acoustically at the KEXP studios. Those acoustic gems have now been released for download. Unfortunately, it was one large podcast file which I so graciously cut up into individual tracks for your (and my) listening pleasure. The four songs they played were: “Augustine,” “Strange Days,” “Juarez” [...]

Two years ago I met my girlfriend (her name is Andi, too) at the Capitol Hill Block Party, one of Seattle’s many kick-ass local summer festivals. Last year I went again, and it was packed. This year, as much as I hate to say it, I most likely will not go unless I [...]

Pela performed the second of their 2-night residency to a packed house last night at NYC’s Mercury Lounge .This was not the first time I saw Pela live but was hands down the best time. The boys from Brooklyn debuted a handful of new songs from their just finished second LP, and as if my [...]
