  1. Concert Preview: Joe Pug – Congress Theater – January 28, 2012 Sometimes a musician bursts onto the scene and they take you back in history to a time that was so influential that it’s hard not to make comparisons. Joe Pug is that type of musician. “He’s like a young Bob...
  2. Hangout Festival 2012 I don’t know about anybody else, but I never really thought “beach and music destination” when I thought of Gulf Shores, Alabama. As the name of the city implies, it’s on the gulf, where it’s highly unlikely you’ll ever get...

It’s just… a little negligent. Even after the summer solstice, when the rest of the country bakes in warmer climes, it’s not uncommon to find us still cursing overcast skies (see: this). So if we ever needed some irreverent stoner rock to boost our spirits and fuel

  1. AU’s Both Lights Shines at Doug Fir In Portland They weren’t exactly unknowns, but after being introduced to AU via their excellent—and critically recognized—2008 release Verbs, mention of the Portland experimental pop outfit to local music fans had been met with a disconcerting number of shrugged shoulders and furrowed...
  2. Kaki King’s GuiTour What surprises most people about Kaki King is her size. She’s not a tall girl, and it’s a wonder how her small hands manipulate the guitar like they do. Since meeting her back in 2008 at Outside Lands while running...
  3. Show Review: J Tillman and Phosphorescent at Portland’s Doug Fir Lounge The mellow crowd at Portland’s Doug Fir on Friday night came to almost complete silence when folk singer-songwriter J Tillman sang his first words. Despite his relative fame as the drummer with the sweet voice from Fleet Foxes, Tillman has...

Frankie of The Safes talks playing with family, their back catalog, and finding home on the road Updated! “She’s So Sad” On The Safes‘ Facebook page, the Chicago-based trio describe themselves is described as “pop tunesmiths who play with punk rock intensity”(Go Metric). After a brief listen to the song and “She’s So Sad” above, it’s hard not...
  3. On The Road With Red Sparowes The severely ambient music of Red Sparowes is absolutely worth experiencing.  The songs peppered with somber notes and self-reflective starkness are unavoidably hypnotic- and if I’m this entranced via auditory tools, I can’t wait to see what their live performance...
