Riotous bluesy-rockers from Austin, Texas, by way of Toronto, Canada, the duo that is Black Pistol Fire, have announced a Los Angeles headline date at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. The  ear-shattering, heel-stomping duo composed of Kevin McKeown (finger-bleeding guitarist) and Eric Owen (head-rushing drummer) will take on the Troubadour on Saturday November 18. Supporting […]

The indie music prankster, Jimmy Kimmel is at it again. He did it at Coachella, he did it at Rock The Bells, and now Kimmel has taken his hilarious “Lie Witness News” music segment to SXSW. Edited or not (or acted), but it does appear to be real this time — check out the morons […]

Gosh damn, this is a hefty SXSW photo gallery. Wednesday at SXSW was just action packed with so much awesome live music and beautiful people. I mean just look at our SXSW 2014 photos below. If you weren’t there, this photo gallery will make you wish you were there. Who says it’s all about the […]

A Grimy Goods favorite since their early days — we’re super stoked to see the rock ‘n’ roll babes of Deap Vally tearing shit up and growing more successful. I think the first time we covered Deap Vally was at the Tom Tom magazine showcase back in 2011, just a couple months after they formed […]

While putting together one of our blog posts for our 2014 SXSW photos, we realized that Together Pangea straight up annihilated The Echo’s SXSW party proving to Austin that they are some wild garage thrashers to be reckoned with. We realized that these guys need their own dedicated blog post to showcase their lively set. […]

Yet another band we saw perform at SXSW who definitely needed their own dedicated photo gallery. At first glance, French surf-pop connoisseurs, La Femme look like the super hip kind of kids you want to be friends with at a party. Styled up in biker leathers with orchids accenting their hair and jackets, La Femme […]

SXSW 2014 photos are in! Check out our photo gallery from our lovely photographer’s adventures on Tuesday, March 11th. Capturing the underground spirit of SXSW, Dominoe caught the Venus Illuminato, The Sour Notes, and Hott MT‘s live sets, as well as some awesome fashion and style portraits from the scene at SXSW. Check out our SXSW […]

This year’s SXSW festival is turning out to be a real treat for hip hop fans, from hipster-rap buffs to old school aficionados. The roster is a fun mix of new and old hip hop, and as an east coast transplant, I couldn’t be more excited over the additions of New York heavy weights Mobb Deep, […]

Austin native, Jess Williamson is a folk-rock singer/songwriter that is more folk than rock, not usually following the standard “verse-chorus-verse” structure. Upon hearing the first words from the lead track and opening single “Blood Song” from her newly released debut full-length Native State, I immediately thought of Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Meiko in terms of Williamson’s […]

  Fun Fun Fun Fest (FFFF) has just plowed all other 2011 music festivals into the ground with their bangin’ line-up! Not only focusing on today’s indie buzz bands and mindie (mainstream indie) heavy hitters, but FFFF keeps it real through bringing a lot of classic bands and musicians into the forefront. Taking place in […]

After playing some awesome shows in their hometown of Austin, the Strange Boys made their way to Los Angeles on Tuesday, March 22 at the Echo. Also, on the bill were the Fresh and Onlys and Nature Child. It was  sold-out show and the place was jumpin.’ Kids even floated the small venue! Check out […]

After two attempts to catch these boys live at SXSW, for once my terrible sense of direction didn’t lead us astray. On the final day of SXSW, while everyone was nursing their hangovers or catching a flight home, we ventured to Side Bar to catch a hot afternoon set featuring our SXSW favorite, Guadalupe Plata. […]

Alright kids, here’s part-two of our “SXSW Fashion: The Lovely Girls and Boys of SXSW.” More cuties and drunkies to ogle over. If you missed part-one, you can view all the beauties here.

Just like what we do with Coachella and so many other festivals, of course we’re going to highlight the fashion and lovely people of SXSW. Sure, most of them are hipsters, but who gives a fuck. They’re full of great fashion and some not-so-great, making for some fun-time photos. Check out our photo gallery below […]

Dodos The final madhouse of SXSW, Saturday, March 19 was probably the most action packed, fun adventure we had. Partially because of the rad music we were exposed to and the other part due to the great amount of old friends we ran into. It was such an awesome day and about 70 percent of […]

After waking up refreshed and surprisingly NOT hungover, we headed out to check out the band I had been most excited for: Guadalupe Plata (from Spain). Unfortunately, I have the worst sense of direction and I had led us in the wrong direction (about 15 blocks off) not once, but twice. Yeah, this was the […]

After spending the first day of our SXSW experience on a red-eye bender of no sleep, we decided to actually bring the camera out on the second day and take some snaps and video of some of our favorite performances. We were useless the first day and pretty much just cruised around downtown getting to […]

If you haven’t heard the news already, Death From Above 1979 (DFA) played surprise reunion show at SXSW. This was their first show since their break-up in 2006. Unfortunately, the show was held at Beauty Bar which housed about only 200 people. As soon as the masses found out, the Beauty Bar alley entrance was […]

Gary Clark Jr. is one of the best kept secrets that’s about to explode! Acclaimed as the “future of Texas blues,” we caught him last week at the Foundry on Melrose for an intimate two-set performance that left the crowd in complete awe. He has an undeniably authentic sound heavy in the blues from Delta […]

It never fails! Since 2006 every time I have attended a show by The Black Angels I’ve arrived late. The streak continues for last Wednesday’s November 24th sold out show at the El Rey Theatre where I showed up half-way into the song, “You On the Run” which may or may not have been the […]
