  1. 4 New Bands Worth Seeing At Fun Fun Fun Fest Austin – Everyone recovered from ACL? Cool. It’s time for Fun Fun Fun Fest. Austin’s third-favorite festival starts this Friday, November 7, and while the name is trying a little hard, the lineup is enticing. The headliners are a mix...

  3. 4 New Bands at Bonnaroo: Day 4 Manchester Tennessee – The final day of Bonnaroo was a slow, hot one. People moved at a snail’s pace. The sun burnt shoulders, arms, and noses. Dust blew in every direction. But despite it all, good vibes and happiness seemed...

  1. This past weekend: MS MR and Xylos at Glasslands MS MR is somewhat of a mysterious new band. They seem to have just emerged from the Internet, using the most random web images they could find in their media, and labeling themselves as “Tumblr Glitch Pop, Soul Fuzz, Electroshock”...
  2. Maps & Atlases With Zechs Marquise Live at Glasslands Maps & Atlases By now we already know to expect a great show whenever Maps & Atlases is playing. Last time I caught them at Bowery Ballroom, it was a sold out show filled with adoring fans. If they could...
  3. Unknown Mortal Orchestra Live At The Echoplex It’s been a busy year for Portland-based lo-fi outfit, Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Not only has the trio released its self-titled debut, but it has also been touring the world non-stop for well over six months now. I was able to...

  1. Concert Review: NewVillager and Okkervil River Wow the Wiltern, While Titus Andronicus Fails To Impress Okkervil River I found myself back at The Wiltern last night to check out yet another of the venue’s repeatedly rocking lineups.  On the bill for last night were NewVillager, Titus Andronicus, and Okkervil River.  So, I paid too much...
  2. Deadmau5 Rocks Victoria Park, London! Normally in L.A. the indicative sign that a show will be amazing- and PACKED- is the lack of parking available.  Apparently in London, it’s lack of available subway space and underground canals that in one feel swoop becomes akin to...
  3. Horse Feathers and Y La Bamba Give LA a Taste of Portland Horse Feathers Everything about last night’s show at The Echo was Portland-esque, from the intimate, nondescript venue; to the good (and cheap) tap selection and flannel clad band and audience members. If I hadn’t known better, I would’ve sworn that...

If you’ve actually been to The Gorge, it’s not hard to believe, but photographs just don’t do it justice. Regardless of the stunning scenery, Sasquatch!
