Chicago – London based band Daughter brought its indie folk rock to the Metro in Chicago last week, giving fans an emotional and magical evening. On album, Daughter is fantastic! Simply brilliant! However, the trio brings it ten fold live. Audience members at the sold-out show calmly and respectfully packed in. This crowd was the
Chicago – Despite it being a cold and snowy Wednesday night, fans packed Bottom Lounge in Chicago’s West Loop to see Kaleo. After witnessing the Icelandic band live, I completely understood why. The four-piece indie-folk band, comprised of Jökull Júlíusson (vocals and guitar), Davíð Antonsson (percussion and vocals), Daníel Ægir Kristjánsson (bass), and Rubin Pollock
Los Angeles – The Echo boasted an incredibly stacked lineup on Wednesday evening, hosting two of the Pacific Northwest’s hottest new indie bands: Deep Sea Diver and Radiation City.

London and Seattle might have an unspoken agreement between the drizzly cities that when natives of the two cities meet, presumptions of shallow and surficial friendliness can be cast aside and everyone will know that they’re all having a good time and enjoying the fact that the other one exists without making any physical or
Even in the weeks following SXSW, Austin is continuing to crank out music. Good music, live music, music on 6th street on weekday afternoons to crowds of plenty. New York City’s Caveman braces the stage at The Parish on Monday night. The room is dark and it is packed. Front man Matthew Iwanusa sings out,
I hadn’t been to a weekend show at Chicago’s Schubas in sometime. That being said, I was excited to go see On an On this past Friday. By the time I walked through the main bar part squeezing through the drinking folk and opened the doors to enter the back room, I remembered why I
Monday night at the El Rey Theatre marked the first time Melody’s Echo Chamber has ever played in Los Angeles; in fact, the band’s current tour with The Raveonettes is the first time the Paris-based dream-pop outfit has ever played in North America. Though Melody’s Echo Chamber is the brainchild of Melody Prochet with the
