With its 16th studio release, The Eternal, on the brink of release, Sonic Youth is beginning to bust out new songs on the live circuit.

Icons of Rock: Roger Waters
One evening, in early 1968, an up-and-coming group known as Pink Floyd was on its way to a gig. They had but one person to pick up, and they decided not to.

Where We Live: The Black Cat – Washington, DC
I love D.C. I really do, but the local music scene hasn’t been anything to talk about since Bad Brains went reggae. That’s not to say we don’t love our icons, though. In fact, when our state quarter was issued recently, none other than Duke Ellington was chosen as the iconic figure to represent the [...]
