Great Googa Mooga (May 17-19, 2013) Photo : D. Caplan The second annual Great Googa Mooga starts tonight in Prospect Park with a paid concert by The Darkness, The Flaming Lips and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs . Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings , who were supposed to headline Sunday's show, are being replaced by Kool and the Gang due to " an urgent family matter ." I'm sure that will be a disappointment for both concertgoers and Sharon Jones alike, who last [...]
Graphics by Eric Weiner What could be better than a festival of New York City's best food, drink, and music? The answer is nothing. The Great Googa Mooga festival , brought to you by the same folks that put on Bonnaroo, is taking over Brooklyn this weekend for the second year in a row and we couldn't be more excited. After a very successful launch last year, the festival is back and looking to be better than ever. A quick rundown of the best the festival has to offer below! [...]
Graphics by Teresa Yang The time has arrived once again folks - Sasquatch 2013 is just around the corner with a line-up that definitely won't disappoint! Located in scenic, central Washington along the Columbia River, this outdoor festival has long been an indie rock mecca for many. The venue itself features several stages, all of which are set along a majestic panorama of rolling hills and cliffs, providing the perfect backdrop for shows at the main Sasquatch Stage. Founded in 2002 by Pacific Northwest-based concert promoter, Adam Zacks, the festival began humbly as a one day [...]
Last Friday, former Fleet Fox, J. (Josh) Tillman...or better known recently as the great Father John Misty, frolicked into town to perform a truly captivating [...]
Josh Tillman has always been a man some might describe as a malcontent, but he wasn't always so damn dangerous. He first busted onto the scene in 2005 with a slew of hand-recorded demos sliding ... Continue reading "Father John Misty Is a Dangerous Man" >
Last night in Dallas there was a man seemingly comprised entirely of hips, the James Brown of Americana-folk, Mr. Father John Misty. He glided across the stage of the Granada Theater crotch-firs... Continue reading "Father John Misty, Granada Theater, 5-6-13" >
THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Soundgarden An Evening with Soundgarden Tuesday, May 7 and Wednesday, May 8 The Tabernacle - 152 Luckie Street NW in Atlanta 30303 SOLD OUT! Pessimistic Moe is here. He hangs around a lot, whispering shit in my ear. He's kind of a dick, but he tends to be right a lot of the time. Maybe the two things go hand in hand, I don't know. Right now he's trying to temper my expectations on Soundgarden tomorrow. And, Christ, I have [...]

by Bill Pearis Wild Nothing have a new EP, Empty Estate , on the way, which will be out May 14 on Captured Tracks. That's the cover art above. Recorded in NYC back in January, the record is pretty different than anything Jack Tatum has done before, with a warbly postpunk/synthpop vibe, like what might have been released by Ze Records in 1979. Here's what Tatum says about it: This is a record that happened very fast for me. [...]

Following his performances at both weekends of Coachella 2013, singer-songwriter Joshua Tillman, better known as Father John Misty, has scheduled a North American tour this summer! Touring in support of last year's debut Fear Fun, Father John Misty will headline...
Because Coachella's line-up this year hearkens back so very, very much to the days of my childhood, particularly high school, I've spent all weekend doing coverage in the formats I knew best from Freshman English. That means poems, particularly haikus and limericks ! But the concluding day of the festival called for a little somber reflection, and therefore I turned to sonnets, specifically Spenserian sonnets. That means ABAB, BCBC, CDCD, EE, for those rhyming at home, and the whole thing has to be [...]
John Shearer The era of the touring festival has by and large given way to massive destination and regional festivals - it seemingly being easier to bring a bunch of bands and tens of thousands of fans to one place than it is to bring a bunch of bands to hundreds of thousands of fans in a bunch of places - but sometimes a touring bill is so impressive that it warrants a fancy name of its own. And the bill of Bob Dylan , Wilco , My Morning Jacket , and Richard Thompson [...]
Our intrepid, heat-resistant reporters spanned both weekends of this year's Coachella to bring you a look at the (no exaggeration) epic music festival from the comfort of your own laptop. While the bros and the... let's say "overmedicated" crowds can sometimes be deterrents to enjoying the weekend, ultimately, you're there for the music. And there is something for everyone. Here are our highlights, with special thanks to Doug Levy, Liat Kriegel, and Dan Busta . Jonsi of Sigur Ros. Photo credit: [...]
Father John Misty at Coachella 2013 weekend 1 ( more by Dana (distortion) Yavin ) We knew that Father John Misty was quickly moving up in the world, but after his sold out Webster Hall show , he decided to scale things back a bit by announcing a tour with Adam Green & Binki Shapiro and Jessica Pratt which brings him back to the NYC-area for a more intimate show on May 17 at Maxwell's , the [...]

Who: Father John Misty in the Gobi Tent In 3 or Fewer Words: Cult of personality. Memorable Because: Is there a Gospel of Father John Misty in the works yet? Can I start writing one? Josh Tillman is an outsized personality in a great lake of minnows, the rare performer who has elevated schtick (not a pejorative here) to a high art of subversiveness. In the hands of many singers, especially those who can nail the notes, his beautiful comi-tragic folk narratives would be enough, but as his banter reminds you, [...]
