Mar 26, 2012 • As I mentioned, I went to San Francisco last weekend to attend and photograph the debut West Coast event from the folks at The Creators Project. Spread over two days, the multimedia festival hosted screenings, interactive art exhibits and performances from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Squarepusher, LCD Soundsystem DJs (James Murphy, Nancy Wang, Pat Mahoney), Zola...

Mar 26, 2012 • Bay Area atmosphere-heavy black metal act Deaheaven tour a LOT. After the release of their staggeringly fantastic Roads to Judah issue, a slew of North American dates and a jaunt to Europe, the band has spent a hearty amount of 2012 back on the road. Their current US tour wraps late next week at a...

Mar 16, 2012 • While the overwhelming majority of you are likely trudging through the promotional-product-littered streets of Austin right now on achey feet after 15 minutes of said buzz band’s set (hey! I would’ve have been down there too, but sometimes things happen), there’s another pretty neat music and arts event taking place this weekend in San Francisco to mention-...

Mar 8, 2012 • Another Montreal-related post for ya all. A few days ago the news was announced that L.A. label Hippos in Tanks (Gatekeeper, James Ferraro) will be releasing the debut full-length from Canadian producer d’Eon. Known mainly for his split EP Darkbloom, with fellow electronic glitzer Grimes, d’Eon has also his smooth 2010 Palinopsia release to follow up here when...

Mar 8, 2012 • I’ve had my eyes and ears on Montréal-based collective Arbutus Records since mid 2010. The small label began in a DIY loft space (very Montréal as I’m told after a recent trip to Vancouver where I camped it with friend and Warp Records-signed producer Babe Rainbow) and has since grown into a disc and cassette-releasing business...

Mar 7, 2012 • Two weekends ago, the Denver-bred, Smog City-based 80s wavers The Chain Gang of 1974 headlined the Westword’s recent Artopia Festival, a music and arts event spread across multiple clubs and centered in the stupid-huge, brand new downtown club, City Hall. While on a brief stop in Colorado, I met up with the boys and loaded some black...

Mar 6, 2012 • Having sat as drummer in bands Dum Dum Girls, Crystal Stilts and Vivian Girls, Brooklyn’s Frankie Rose took the reigns of the oftentimes-difficult-to-steer solo career in 2010 releasing a self-titled debut with backing band, The Outs playing along.

Mar 1, 2012 • Fresh off the release of her heavily-buzzed third album, Visions, the Montreal-based electronic-pop gazer Grimes (real name Claire Boucher) played a sold-out crowd at mainstay venue The Echo last Friday. A perfect weekend-starting set, Boucher performed solo alongside a pair of keyboards, other boxes and some heavily hyped-out folks that stood near the back, on stage drinking-...

Feb 24, 2012 • The Costa Mesa quartet TRMRS have been on The Holloweyed’s radar for a bit now and with the recent news of a new 7″, a perfectly-billed jaunt of Spring dates with OC brethren The Growlers and a pair of Smog City shows, including one that’s free and one that has them taking rank alongside Ruben with his Unknown...

Feb 12, 2012 • Celebrating the release of their debut record, Rad Times Xpress IV for Drag City, brand-new outfit Black Bananas brought their soul-skuzzing, dance-oriented garage sound to the Echo for a record-release show last week with the rather good Pink Mountaintops supporting. Formed from the ranks of RTX, the BB project is led by glammer Jennifer Herrema,...
