  1. Jeremy Messersmith Live @ The Mint – Saturday, July 17 2010 Last night hipsters from various Los Scandalous area-codes hightailed it to The Mint to watch singer/songrwriter Jeremy Messersmith grace the joint with folk-pop akin to Death Cab For Cutie, Sufjan Stevens, and embellished with just enough 1960’s retro-pop to actually...

Album Review: Minus the Bear’s “Omni” on Dangerbird Records Minus the Bear’s fourth studio album, Omni, is a groovy trek into synth-pop that packs a powerful electronic punch with a deadly rhythm section headed by Corey Murchy (bass) and Erin Tate (drums). Frontman/guitarist Jake Snyder lays down his signature...
