Editor's Note Happy New Year! Some of you are probably wondering what happened to us. Well work, family, and of course organizing our little (not so little anymore) variety show Snob Theater has taken quite a bit of time away from the website. We've had probably the best year so far and I'm happy to announce my favorite records of 2011 to launch the reboot of Kata Rokkar. I don't review albums at all but i do listen to a shitload and it's been a great and surprising year for new music. [...]
Leah Lou and The Two Left Shoes , in addition to being brilliant, has a kick drum made from a garbage can – clearly a winning combination. With a sultry voice worthy of Norah Jones comparisons and songwriting as inspired as it is unique and quirky, she's an artist not to be missed. She's currently gaining momentum in the folk world with her debut EP, This Music Belongs To You , released in January. The EP is ever-changing, lush, and just damn likeable. Hop on her train. [...]

On a cool night on July 26th at Cafe Du Nord, our favorite Bay Area solo-pianist songstress, Debbie Neigher provided an intimate record release show for friends and fans. While her jazzy pop melodies can be labelled as radio-accessible, her relationship-oriented lyrics can be unexpectedly salty (" What Say You Now " and " Daytime " are honest and disarmingly vulnerable). Even calming songs of lost friendship like " Wishbone " received a quiet and respectful response from the attentive audience, allowing Debbie to express herself freely without distraction. Debbie is not [...]
