SXSW Fashion: Part Six

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 […]

Man Crush Monday: Robert Alfons of TRUST

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.

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!) […]

Man Crush Monday: Young Keith Richards (1972)

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 […]

Women Crush Wednesday: The Casket Girls

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 […]
