The past few months we’ve been touting Los Angele’s Lo Fang (aka Matthew Hemerlein) for his undeniable talent as a producer and soulful falsetto singer.

I get it when my six-year-old niece collects wristbands to colorfully adorn her wrists, but I don’t get it when SXSW-goers collect a mess of venue entry wristbands to wear as though they were precious gold. I can’t stand wristbands and lanyards and immediately take them off when possible. How old are you again? Is […]

SXSW was once a very awesome music event that showcased some of the best undiscovered talent from around the world; but like always, all good things come to an end. Now you have a bunch of douches invading the shows and mega mainstream artists such as Kanye and Lady Gaga paving the way for these […]

This dude may look a bit goofy with the chester-the-molester stache, but jacket pins are a must at SXSW, or any music festival for that matter. Not only do they rep who you are and what tunes you’re into, but they’re a great way to to meet people. If you can part ways with one […]

SXSW Music kicks off this week, and while most people attend the annual conference and music festival for the music, there are a lot who just go for the booze, babes and bones. These people are usually dressed to impress and not for function. Well, you can definitely dress up your SXSW fashion with comfort […]

In 2012 we were blown away by the Canadian dark-wave electro duo, TRUST’s debut album TRST. So much that we gave them a Hot Band Alert feature and then they blew us away even further at their show at the Echoplex, opening up for Oh Land and Blood Orange. Led by the handsome and lusciously baritone, Robert Alfons — the boy has […]

He’s dapper, he’s rock ‘n’ roll and he’s a straight up awesome guy. Queens of the Stone Age front-man, Josh Homme breaks the rule of the “ugly-red-headed-step-child” because he’s one hot ginger who’s bones we’d love to jump. The 40-year-old rock musician, multi-instrumentalist and record producer is a Southern California native (born in Joshua Tree!) […]

There’s no doubt about it, young Keith Richards was one guitar slinging babe. Even if he looks like a prune these days as a result of the heavy life he has led. At 70 years old, the man still rocks it as though it were 1972. We were personal witness to this after seeing the […]

Goth and pop? Isn’t the combination of the two blasphemy? Well if it is or isn’t, the Casket Girls have done it well. Sisters, Phaedra and Elsa Greene create “eerie” (but not so eerie) dream pop that will have every high school hipsterette singing along to their tunes. From sweet and innocent tunes, to fuzz […]
