In the space of a few recuperative days, we relocate from the stones of Brighton to the sands of Barcelona. During transitory stints over the past few summers I've sat with the Mediterranean shoreline between my toes, gazing forever longingly over toward the exotic gleam of the iconic, angular slant of the Parc del Fòrum's placa fotovoltaica as it juts out into the great unknown in the general direction of all the more peculiar continents. Then, it sat beside the sea an intangible dream; now, it becomes an intense reality. Life even, if only for a few [...]
Por Pablo Luna Chao desde Barcelona Acabada la retahíla de conciertos del Primavera Sound 2013 de Barcelona, es el momento de pasar balance. Fueron siete días de festival, tres de los cuales en un recinto, el del Fòrum , que casi llega a los 100 mil metros cuadrados, con 9 escenarios y más de 200 bandas. Prólogo: miércoles 22 Pese a que desde el inicio de la semana se podía disfrutar ya de conciertos [...]
Gonzalo Aylwin estuvo presente en la edición 2013 del Festival Primavera Sound. Este es su reporte de la primera jornada, el jueves 23 de mayo. Fotografía por Toni Rosado de Scanner FM . La gigantesca fila que había en la entrada al Parc del Fòrum barcelonés para la primera de las tres jornadas principales del Primavera Sound 2013 (que incluso llegaba a ser de varias cuadras), era señal inequívoca de que la masa humana llamada fans iba a dejar muchos euros y, si era necesario, más de una zapatilla tirada [...]

Photo Credit : Cary Whittier "Brooklyn trio Dead Stars is a sonic throwback to the ‘90s with a modern twist, blending elements of rock, pop, and grunge to create a large, resonant sound full of memorable hooks, melodic vocals, and plenty of guitar solos. Having been compared to iconic acts like Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, and Pavement, the band has won over fans with their raucous live show. They’re gearing up to release their new EP, High Gain, June 4th via Uninhabitable Mansions, a label founded by fellow Brooklyn band Radical Dads". [...]

Dino Jr @ Coachella 2013 ( more by Dana [distortion] Yavin ) As mentioned , DFA 1979 canceled their Governor's Ball appearance, and the afterparty they were to have played with Fucked Up at Irving Plaza on June 7.

Après la sortie de Bankrupt! il y a quelques jours, qui en a déçu quelques uns, mais qui nous, nous a carrément plu , plusieurs remixes du premier single, Entertainment , ont fait leur apparition sur la toile. Petite sélection dans ce 33ème Give Me Five . Entertainment | Phoenix (Dinosaur Jr Remix) Premier d'entre eux (qu'on peut difficilement qualifier de remix en réalité, on devrait plutôt, contrairement à ce qui est annoncé, parler de cover ), celui de [...]
Baby Nelson & the Philistines en vivo en el festival Nrmal 2013 / Foto: Daniel Patlán Por: @folkmetender Durante el festival Nrmal en Monterrey conocí a Alonso , de quién ya me había hablado un amigo que tenemos en común. Alonso es de Guadalajara y tiene síndrome de personalidad múltiple: divide su tiempo entre trabajar en una oficina donde le pagan por hora, desgarrarse la garganta en la banda de post-hardcore Bocanegra (de quienes hablaré en otra ocasión) y hacer canciones de garage adolescente con su [...]
"Hexxy" made its first appearance as the opening track on Speedy Ortiz's debut release, The Death of Speedy Ortiz . Back then it was called "Hexxy Sadie" (a particularly witty Beatles reference—the lead singer's name is Sadie) and it was a lo-fi bedroom recording with sloppy and distant drums and poorly recorded vocals. It was awesome back then and it is still awesome now, with Justin Pizzoferrato's (Chelsea Light Moving, Dinosaur Jr.) engineering. The song still has teeth but now they're sharpened to a point. "Hexxy" is the B-side to their just released 7-inch which also includes "Ka-Prow!". Get it [...]
Boston ensemble Slowdim immediately strike me as the sorts who could quite conceivably become the kind of cult band cherished by legions of steadfast alternative music acolytes worldwide, were they only afforded vertiginous enough a platform. Needless to say we can't provide that pedestal, but we can give 'em something of a slight leg up in the meanwhile as they continue to optimistically "paddle upstream." Whether headed for the mainstream or other, more boggy patches Up Stream is a positive tour de force in jingly indie jangle, Paul Sentz' lax delivery redolent of Lou Barlow's better bits from [...]
By Kenny McMurtrie May 01, 2013 The Primavera Sound festival has been around for over a decade in Barcelona and is now in its second year in Porto. Offering a consistently high level of acts from around the world it is also an important platform for acts from Spain, Portugal and Latin American countries, proof of which is seen this year with such acts as Blur, Bob Mould, Dinosaur Jr., Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Woods rubbing shoulders with The Suicide [...]
DIRTY PROJECTORS aren’t the first name that come to mind when you think of remixes but their new take on Phoenix ’s ‘Entertainment’ brings a chilled, fresh mood to the electro-rock original. The remix kicks off with warped vocals, stunted percussion and handclaps to keep it all together. The track follows a slower tempo, certainly less chipper than the original, which releases the inner sadness of the song: “I’d rather be alone.” The vocals of Phoenix front man Thomas Mars remain the centrepiece and [...]
