Watch: Modest Mouse showcases “Satellite Skin” on Letterman
Modest Mouse has just completed a small tour, one that saw the band play smaller venues in support of nothing in particular. Since the release of 2007′s We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank, the band hasn’t released any proper new material. However, they have been performing a new song, “Satellite Skin” in the [...]
Listen: Charts and Maps
There is something to be said about jazz fusion in the realm of independent music, chiefly that it seems to be grabbing more and more of a foothold. The jazz part of the fusion goes hand in hand with progressive music by way of groups like Charts and Maps, a modern prog band from Los Angeles. Charts [...]
Rock On The Range goes Canadian, eh!?
Americans have drawn their fair share of criticisms against our neighbors to the north. After all, it is because of Canada that we got Celine Dion, the sadly less angered Alanis Morrisette, and Nickelback. On the other hand, we received Jim Carrey, Bob & Doug McKenzie and one of the best songs from South Park: [...]
Album Review: Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Its Blitz!
The days of Karen O howling over Nick Zinner’s dark, sporadic guitar parts may be over. Before all you Yeah Yeah Yeahs fans start chanting, “off with their heads,” you may just want to give the new synth heavy Its Blitz! a chance. Zinner’s guitar certainly hasn’t disappeared by any means, however the tracks are [...]
News in Review: Friday, March 20th
While Consequence of Sound is down in Austin taking in the sights of sounds of South by Southwest ’09, here is some of the news making headlines across the country… Were you one of those unlucky few that snagged Phish tickets, only to be told by Ticketmaster that there was no sale, after all. Because [...]
Album Review: Cursive – Mama, I’m Swollen
Disclaimer: Bias will follow anything I write about Cursive. The Ugly Organ stubbornly protects the top spot on my “best of” list for the twenty-first century. I picked up the album a year or two after it came out. On a whim I mostly chalk up to the cool cover art, I popped in the disc. Regardless, The [...]
Where We Live: Jannus Landing – St. Petersburg, FL
Large scale theaters usually have their fair share of musical history; The Chicago Theatre, The Filmore, The Beacon…you could go on all night with historic venues that contain just as many legends as the bands who played in them. But when it comes to smaller, indie-oriented locales, you’d be hard pressed to find one that [...]
EOTO head east, up, and away…
Though The String Cheese Incident will be reuniting at this summer’s Rothbury Festival, that hasn’t slowed down EOTO, the baby side project of String Cheese members Jason Hann and Michael Travis. If anything, their creative minds are on fire, and what better reason for hitting the road. The northeast tour kicked off a few days [...]
Miley’s “well thought out” autobiography…
It seems that with all the publicity surrounding the “Achy Breaky” heiress, our tween demographic could not possibly get enough, right? Wrong. It turns out that after millions of dollars in success, Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) is currently putting out her autobiography…at 16 years old. Movies, music, Disney television and now literature. While this [...]
Meg & Dia’s new album Here soon
Music’s favorite duo named Meg & Dia will soon be releasing its latest studio effort. In fact, you could even say it will be Here, Here, and Here before we know it. Due for release on April 21st via Warner Bros. Record, the 13-track, Howard Benson-produced album is design to chronicle “the past few years [...]
