Bonnaroo announced yesterday what might be our biggest excitement of the year, in terms of a festival line-up. Ok, we’ll admit it – not extremely impressed with Coachella this year and still waiting to hear about Lollapalooza. Bonnaroo 2010 will take place June 10th to 13th. If you haven’t seen the line-up yet, check this: Dave Matthews Band, Kings of […]

As I sit in LaGuardia waiting to board a flight back to LA I thought I’d write a blurb about last night. Really there isn’t much to talk about. Besides another plethora of mediocre music I did see two acts I really enjoyed. One I was already familiar with, Twin Atlantic, and another I discovered that night called Rubik. Twin […]

Didn't know too much about this band, These United States, going into their set other than they have been highly recommended to me for awhile. They are a 5 piece rock band that's best described as Kings of Leon between their 2nd & 3rd album and then having a baby with The Features (oddly enough the latter band being Kings […]

First of all, I apologize for some reason my Saint Motel post won't go through. It got lost in cyberspace last night. Weird! However, I'm here to post about the band I'm watching at Piano's right now call Surferblood. The not-so-great photo above is from a cowbell solo (amazing). The music would be classified as indie but only the same […]

Watching The DiSCiPLiNES at Mercury Lounge, the room is filling up fast and the band sounds great.

They've got a very raw garage rock tone and are keeping my attention so much it's hard to type this short review. […]

Well things are starting to stir up in NYC today as the CMJ crowd checks in. I'm currently at a media mixer for LimeWire. I heard Jon Spencer played before I got here but the current DJ is kickin' out the jams (Let's Dance by David Bowie at the moment). Heading to the New Zealand music showcase in a few, […]

Streetlight Manifesto Overheard their set as I waited for Senses Fail. Ska, fun, and anyone that covers NOFX’s Linoleum (and sounds great) gets kudos from me. I will definitely look into them some more. Senses Fail – SmartPunk Stage Crowd formed early and compressed toward the center as the band took the stage- always a good sign. They played songs […]
