Recently, in the middle of Chinatown, a phoenix rose from the ashes at The Grand Star Jazz Club. It had been 40 years since the world heard Chip Kinman play songs from his legendary punk band The Dils. After the loss of his brother, founding member Tony Kinman (Tony 19), earlier this year and at […]

Last Friday at the Echoplex, concert attendees experienced an electrifying sold-out show with Seattle originals Mudhoney followed by L.A. Punk Legends The Flesh Eaters. The unsurprisingly packed house, filled with fans old and new alike, seemed to carry more of a subdued energy than the bands onstage — however, that didn’t stop a small mosh […]

Atlanta’s Deerhunter stopped by Lodge Room Highland Park Thursday night to celebrate their eighth LP Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared? to be release the following day. The sold out crowd was calm, yet enthusiastic; the maturity fitting of a band that’s been around for 18 years. The merch table was remarkably empty. A hand-written note […]

Conner Youngblood moves through time with the stillness of a forest. The quiet, wild-haired musician seems like a visitor to earth imagining what places might be like in a 5th-element-Leeloo-way, Googling an image searching to satisfy his wanderlust. These musings are then interpreted into his music which is layered like the sounds of the wilderness […]

Australian indie rock group Middle Kids wrapped up their US tour Friday night at Echoplex in Los Angeles. Touring their debut full0length record released in May, Lost Friends, it seemed as if the Aussies had gained an entire venue’s worth of new friends. With chops ranging from singer and classically trained pianist Hannah Joy, to […]

In today’s political climate it’s nice to have music to turn to that shares the sentiment that all has gone to shit. Nine Inch Nails has had our backs through all the worst times in life since the late 1980’s. Fortunately, Trent Reznor decided that their farewell tour of 2009 was more of a see […]
