Where We Live: Jannus Landing – St. Petersburg, FL

By Dan Caffrey on March 19th, 2009

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 [...]

Les Savy Fav scares up the Epiphany (1/31)

By Russell Michniak on February 3rd, 2009

Few live acts today can really match the intensity and stage presence of New York’s Les Savy Fav. When the band plays a show, they bring not only music but also a stage show and more excitement than necessary. This is expected; however, this scant description hardly begins to paint the scene at Epiphany Episcopal [...]

The PoFo MoFo Ordeal: Pitchfork in a Nutshell

By Michael Roffman on July 21st, 2008

It’d be a pretty safe assumption that outdoor music festivals are the bee’s knees nowadays. Every state has one and it almost seems by next summer, every city will have one too. It makes sense. With the truckload of bands coming off the presses each week, it’s hard to keep up with everything and anything [...]

By Michael Roffman on April 21st, 2008

What is shaping up to be one of the hottest little weekends of the summer, Pitchfork Music Festival has just made things a little more interesting.

2007’s Top 50 Albums: #16 – Let’s Stay Friends

By Alex Young on December 12th, 2007

#16 – Les Savy Fav – Let’s Stay Friends

Les Savy Fav is probably the coolest band around. And while there was a six year span between the release of Go Forth and Let’s Stay Friends, whose complaining? Since we last heard them on disc, the band has gotten tighter, the song-writing has improved, and [...]
