It's not every night you get three solid bands in one gig. The long-awaited return of We Were Promised Jetpacks with openers Royal Bangs and Bear Hands at The Music Box proved that it can happen. The last time the Scottish lads of WWPJ performed in L.A. was at The Troubadour two years ago. You could tell most of the crowd at The Music Box was at that show and waiting to hear songs from their debut album These Four Walls . However, Adam Thompson (lead vocals, guitar), Michael Palmer (guitar), Sean Smith (bass) and Darren Lackie (drums) had [...]

Scottish band We Were Promised Jetpacks have played in DC twice before, but this was their largest headlining show to date. Along with them were two bands they were very familiar with – bands they've toured with before, but on the other side of the country: Bear Hands from New York and Royal Bangs from Texas. I thought they were unusual choices, given that both of these bands play with keyboards and synths, whereas We Were Promised Jetpacks has the basic rock 'n' roll line-up of guitars, bass, and drums. The [...]

For those of you who live in Indy, how great has the music been in this town over the last few weeks? I'm having issues with my camera's memory card which, thanks to a little help from Amazon I think it should be resolved mid next week. I can't believe the last time I posted [...]
![FANG ISLAND, JAMES BLAKE, TWIN SHADOW [SUGGESTED NYC CONCERTS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3766281_lg.jpg)
Another week here in New York City means another week of live music that will blow your mind. Though James Blake , Yacht ,and Twin Shadow are in town, it's Brooklyn-by-way-of Rhode Island band Fang Island that snagged our #1 concert of the week spot. Why you ask? These dudes are outrageous performers who know how to have a good time. They're also playing one of my favorite venues, Glasslands Gallery . It's a small place filled with strange taxidermy, mythological creatures and a backdrop of puffy clouds. Do yourself a [...]

![FASHION'S NIGHT OUT [MUSIC GUIDE]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3706884_lg.jpg)
Two years ago Anna Wintour, in all her evil genius, hoisted upon the unsuspecting masses Fashion's Night Out - A night where we normals get to pretend to be important by mingling at high fashion stores we would never otherwise walk into and get shitfaced so we can more easily spend our hard earned money on things that will make us feel pretty. Personally, I love it. If the pretty people, free booze and sales on jeans and shoes don't convince you to spend today wandering around the consumer hubs of our great city, maybe the list of [...]
The singer / guitarist / keyboardist of <A href=" http://theregoesthefear.com/ta g/notoriousbig" Bear Hands , Dylan Rau, was kind of enough to answer our Quickfire Questions, and his answers are below.

'Walk Like an Egyptian' by The Bangles. My pops was always into female singers and this was pretty early on. [...]

Tracks are from late October through late November 2009 Gapless mix ripped at 256k VBR. Download all tracks in one zip file [...]
