The Black Keys have another new song for you to stream and it’s called “Turn Blue”. A couple weeks ago, longtime Black Keys fans were disappointed by the duo’s new electro pop single, “Fever”.

The other day I was thinking that The Black Keys were due for another BLAKROC album. Not to mention, Dan Auerbach is due for another solo album as well. Considering the Keys are the hardest working guys in the music biz with all their relentless tours, albums and numerous side projects, it came as no […]

The Black Keys have to be the hardest working band in the business. From their GRAMMY winning album, Brothers, to their relentless touring and numerous side projects and appearances, Dan Auerbach and Pat Carney are pretty much amazing. It came as no surprise to hear the boys have just finished their seventh studio album, again […]

If you have yet to listen to the rad Nashville threesome know as The Ettes, you need to get aboard their show at The Echo on Thursday, August 25. We’ve been a fan of The Ettes for a few years now and every time we’ve seen them live it has been a balls to the […]

“If you don’t want a wild one, quit hanging ’round with me, you knew right from the start that’s my personality, if you can’t handle crazy, go ahead and leave, if you don’t want a wild one, quit hanging ’round with me.” Those Darlins could not have said it any better with the sassy lyrics […]

Continuing to draw intensity and suspense with their notable drum and guitar solos, The Ettes’ new album “Do You Want Power” stays true to their infectious ferocious sound, but have found a perfect balance of all things soft and those that tend to be a little rougher. Just like when it comes to performance under […]

Check out what all the hype is about: The revolution will be televised. BlakRoc drops November 27 (Black […]

The Ettes are pure all-fem rock n’ roll! From the moment I heard their “Danger Is” EP, I was immediately hooked and had to have every bit of music they ever put out. These rock-and-roll gypsies are back with “Do You Want Power” (street date September 29 on Take Root), the third LP from the […]

Damn! Only half-way through the year and so many great musicians have put out some killer albums! It was far too hard just to keep it at five albums, so I had to bump it to 10 and even that was tough. I can’t wait to see what the latter half of 2009 has in […]

‘Hombre Lobo” by Eels – Howling like a werewolf with a broken heart, front-man Mark Oliver Everett (aka “E”) and his band put out a stellar seventh album.  Eels’ “Hombre Lobo” is most definitely “12 songs of desire.” I couldn’t help but notice how almost every song is about a woman. I guess us ladies […]

This past Sunday’s 94/9 Independence Jam, proved all the more reason why California (So Cal in particular)is hands down the best place to live! The weather was perfect, sun was shining and the vast Pacific blue was directly behind us as we rocked out to The Creepy Creeps, Scarlet Symphony, Metric, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and […]

The Independent Music Awards (IMAs) is an influential and effective international program that helps up-and-coming indie artists blow their shit up! In other words, the IMAs recognize these low profile bands and grants them the opportunity for publicity and exposure with all types of industry movers and shakers, thus making it “BIG” and living happily-ever-after. […]

Those Darlins could not have said it better. “Wild One” is my new anthem. To all my potential suitors (if any), take this song as somewhat a warning. And to all you beautiful ladies who live lives that others dream of, free spirits, enjoying life to the fullest, even if you hit the end of […]

I’m still pondering how it took me some five years to hear about this bad ass band, The Ettes. I came across their new EP, Danger Is just a couple weeks ago, featuring guitar God and epic crooner Dan Auerbach on two of their tracks. You can hear Auerbach’s fuzzy basslines that so easily complement […]
