  3. Concert Review: The Airborne Toxic Event Exhilarates the Music Box Up into Hollywood, climbing streets, dodging pedestrians and stopped cars, I went. Only a few hours ago, it feels like years. Paid a stranger to take my car—strange, when you put it like that. I stood in front of The...

  1. Chasing Kings: Music to make art to When I first searched for Chasing Kings online,  I discovered a melancholy acoustic band that didn’t seem at all like the band I had heard so much about. Friends and colleagues alike raved about the group, but I was less...
  2. Catching up with Active Child’s Patrick Grossi I first met Active Child’s Patrick Grossi while he was opening for Islands and Steel Phantoms at The Loft in Dallas in July. We chatted about how the tour was going, and he gave me a copy of his Curtis...
  3. Vonnegutt: Alternative Hip Hop Kings of the Dirty South Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Vonnegutt, the self-described “alternative/hip-hop/pop” four-piece repping the Dirty South.  Fronted by emcee Kyle Lucas from Marietta, Georgia, Kyle had been hustlin’ on the mixtape scene for years before meeting with session...

  1. Here We Go Magic Talks Pigeons, Band Dynamics, and Why Festies Have More Fun Here We Go Magic is like an ambient/psych/folk/jam band. The mix of styles is diverse, and the group’s ability to create such a textured yet cohesive sound is like a salve for the eclectic at heart. In addition to extensive...
  2. Deadman, Bringing Folk To Life Deadman is literally THE perfect chill out, relaxin’ all maxin’ all cool kind of music.  Think Dirty Sweet with a whole hell of a lot more 70s folk fused into it.  It’s completely clear that the 70’s rock era really...
