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 […]

Styled up in biker leathers with orchids accenting their hair and jackets, La Femme […]
