You only have a few months left to start planning your summer getaway, and since stateside staycations are so winter season you need to hop on a plane and head straight to the U.K. for several summer fests- one of which being the Big Chill taking place August 4-7 in Herefordshire. The first string of
Summer fest season is fast approaching and I’m so beyond amped I’d fast forward straight to June if I could. Since I have the attention span of a goldfish, and I’m in serious need of a getaway I’ll be heading over to cover some U.K. and Euro fests this upcoming fest season- and since I’m
So Spring Break is so five minutes ago which means it’s onto planning how you’ll be Spring-ing into the Summer festival season. Lucky for us Austin is getting us amped for the fourth annual Austin Psych Fest! Grab your closest music friends and fiends and get to jetting over to a fest that will blow
In this week’s episode of BackStory Jon Plett of Canadian-based band “The Details” gives us the details on their single “weightless in the dark!” The song Weightless in the Dark is about two people (in my mind, it’s a man and a woman) who meet spontaneously on a elevator.

Paid Dues Festival took place this weekend, and our very own Rebecca Haithcoat was covering the scene! Since the musical madness and mayhem will take a while to recover from we thought we’d give you the soundtrack to detox to on Sunday Funday! ( HipHop2011.com ) Lil B ft Jean Grae & Phonte – Base
Pulled Apart By Horses is the definition of “rally”- and I know, because I learned from staff writer Laurel Kathleen the exact definition of “rally” this year. Those boys had about a bazillion shows and were still up with the sun to serenade us on Saturday morning at Latitude 30- the British Music Embassy’s headquarters
SXSW is over, you’re back in the City of Angels- and you need something sin-sational to get amped for Coachella. Lucky for us, Fight From Above is throwing “FAUX-CHELLA” a warehouse party in Silverlake, complete with new music for those afflicted with music A.D.D. such as myself- AND, that auditory entrée comes complete with a
Purple Melon won me over in L.A., fortified my obsession in Austin, and now what L.A. needs (aside from a million things) is more from my four favorite British imports.
