Sonoma, CA – It’s not often I travel up to a random auditorium in the middle of wine country to see a concert, but for Father John Misty’s show at the Sonoma Veterans Memorial Hall, I did just that. Josh Tillman—the man behind Father John Misty—will be releasing his second LP under the FJM moniker—I
Los Angeles – Electronic rock trio Geographer performed to a bouncy crowd on Saturday night at The El Rey. They’ve embarked on this small headlining tour in order to introduce new songs off their forthcoming third LP, Ghost Modern due out in March. This marks the San Francisco band’s first material since 2012’s Myth. No
Nashville – Following the 2014 release of his third studio album, Bahamas (a.k.a. Afie Jurvanen) has since embarked on a North American tour, visiting Music City along the way. This past Saturday, the Canadian artist played a sold-out show at the Mercy Lounge and, unsurprisingly, fans arrived seriously early to stake their claim at a
Chicago – Every winter, music lovers across the Windy City refuse to let bone chilling temperatures, icy streets, and snowy sidewalks ruin their fun… especially when it comes to the annual Tomorrow Never Knows Festival! TNK Fest was created by Schubas and Lincoln Hall but expands beyond their doors to include the Metro, Athenaeum Theatre,
Nashville – Fresh out of Baltimore, Sun Club—a hearty arrangement of five guys and plenty of energy—delivered an epic performance at The End this past Wednesday night, playing for a full house of young fans. Praised by Paste magazine back in 2013 as a new band to watch, the band has since released a variety
Los Angeles – LA-by-way-of-DC “brat-pop” specialists Holychild put on an energetic set last Monday, the second appearance in their month-long “Money, Money, Mondays” residency at The Echo. You may be asking yourself: “What exactly is this ‘brat-pop?’” The term is essentially a meaningless label the band has concocted to categorize their infectiously contagious songs, though
Los Angeles – Late on a chilly Thursday evening, Angelenos packed into the warm confines of The Satellite to take advantage of the venue’s free “Satellite Nights” concert series, which kicked off the first week of 2015. Those that made the trip out to Silver Lake were treated to a powerfully propulsive set by Monogem,
London – The year-end holidays of course can have a damaging effect on both your wallet and waistline. Add to that any over-indulgence on New Year’s Eve and you have first world populations suddenly vowing to detox, lose weight, stay home and spend next to nothing in January. If that sounds like you, fear not
Chicago – I’m going to break some rules here. One being some first person talk and the other being an admission of bias. I love The Orwells! This is not just because like me they were born and bred in Illinois. They genuinely rock! Thanks to my fandom, I’ve discovered I also love LA bands
Austin - Yip Deceiver doesn’t have much star power…yet. Even piggybacking off their status as Of Montreal alumni. Last year’s debut record Medallius was no instant breakout, good as it was. So, maybe those in attendance at their set at the Mohawk one night last week will be able to look back as that time they
