I was always a big fan of Pedro The Lion, so naturally I wondered what might be next once Bazan and former percussionist TW Walsh parted ways and dropped the PTL band name last year. It did not take long for Bazan to resurface, with his Fewer Moving Parts EP, which I mentioned last […]

The Sixth annual Lebowski Festival was held down in Louisville, Kentucky last weekend, and while I did not make it out, our live reviewer Mike was on the scene taking it all in. If you don’t know, it is a celebration of the classic Coen Brothers film, […]

It had been awhile since I took in a live set of music, probably due to the overload I got last month at Bonnaroo. But last night I made a point to head over the Decibel Lounge in Northside to check out two great bands. First up was Mason Proper, who are out […]
A great show tonight here in town, be sure to get yourself over to Decibel Lounge, or Alchemize, not sure what the hell they are calling it anymore tonight for two excellent bands. Ra Ra Riot are out in support of their debut EP, which is self titled, that was released earlier this month. […]
Maps are another band that have taken me by surprise here in 2007. With a sound that falls somewhere between Air and Boards Of Canada for me this band from the UK. The band also pulls some influence from early shoegaze acts like Ride. Then, they took that sound and influence and […]

It feels like it has been a really long time since we told you about the new Robbers On High Street album, Grand Animals. And now, finally, the disc is in stores and ready for you to consume. The sophomore release from the band is very solid, but the timing for pushing it […]
A great video to share real quick of Spoon playing The Underdog live on Late Night with David Letterman last week. Dave held up the vinyl, and almost managed to recite the Ga x 5 without cracking a smile….almost. Maybe it was nerves, (or just YouTube), but the song sounds a half second […]

So here is a band that has me very intrigued. Dirty Projectors seem to be building some buzz right now with their album coming out very soon from the new imprint out of Bloomington that brought you Secretly Canadian and Jagjaguwar, called Dead Oceans. The new label is already home to Bishop Allen […]
