First of all, I have never, ever, seen Los Angeles’ venue The Satellite so packed for an opening band (and I go to a lot of shows), and secondly, if you live in the LA area (or anywhere, for

  1. NO Plays FREE Show at LA’s The Satellite When I interviewed Bradley Carter and Sean Stentz of NO back in December, the band was still getting its bearings. The quintet had just released its debut EP, Don’t Worry, You’ll be Here Forever, and had admitted that not many...
  2. Interview – NO: It’s not surprising if you haven’t heard of NO yet It’s not surprising if you haven’t heard of NO yet—the majority of the anthematic indie rock band’s friends hadn’t even heard of them until the last few months. That’s not to say the band is brand new; in fact, founders...
  3. Tennis Dazzles The Satellite Tennis sold out The Satellite in Los Angeles on Wednesday. I’ve been to the mid-sized venue plenty of times—and I’ve seen them crowded plenty of times—but never completely sold out.  As soon as the trio began to play, it was...

  1. Album Review: White Denim’s “D” Is an A+ The Background: Ah, White Denim. I remember the very day when my love affair with their distinctly deft sounds began.  ‘Twas a chilly October night last year.  I was at the El Rey, seeing Portugal. The Man for the first...
  2. A Conversation With James Petralli of White Denim Sometimes a name can be an accurate way to describe a band. But with White Denim, it is not. Something as simple as, well, white denim, doesn’t do the band’s eclectic combination of garage rock, dub soul, alt-rock, country and...
  3. Concert Review: The Black Angels Steal the Show at The Fox Theater The Black Angels in a haze of awesomeness. On Saturday night, I had the chance to see The Black Angels, Cold Cave, and The Kills at The Fox Theater in Pomona.  So I drove east to the city, parked in...

  1. More Love Care Of Red Arrow Messenger So the Troubadour and I are getting to know each other quite well.  I’ve been twice this week already- and I’ll be heading back tonight.  Third time’s always a charm, and there’s talk of getting me my own VIP parking...
  2. Getting Lost In Translation & Music With Karnivool So I head to one of my new favorite stomping grounds the Troubadour- where everybody knows my name and they’re always glad I came (the bouncers actually greeted me by name) to check out the Aussie import Karnivool. Now I’ve...
