Artist:
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...

Nerd Rock for Science Geeks

Artist:

Album:

Track:
Last week I was listening to my Pandora station, when this peppy new song called "Science Is Golden" popped up. It was catchy, and spoke to my (inner) science geek. Turns out the Grates are just that- great at making catchy indie pop songs. I don't know much about them, but I'm professing my love here first to the mog-o-sphere.

THE GRATES AT MODIFIED ARTS 9/18/09
-
Artist:
All I can say is WOW! OK, that's not ALL I am going to say but I could, and probably should since I am a shitty writer and all. But "WOW" sums it up just fine. Oh wait...I just remembered something I heard outside after the show that REALLY sums it up..."They were better than Christmas for poor people".I didn't know what to expect going into this show but when I saw Patience Hodgson walk up on ...
