by Bill Pearis Los Angeles residents Darian Zahedi and Jon Safley began working together as The Refelctions about a year ago, adding bassist Brady Wills to the fold a little while later and have released two singles this far, "Summer Days" and "Disconnected," which are both shimmering, keyboard-kissed pop with a little post-punk drive in there too. The band, who conclude their February residency at LA's The Satellite on Sunday (2/24) , are finishing up work on their debut album, [...]

There isn't much I can tell you about Coachella 2012 that you don't already know. The logistics of the festival were known to the world after Weekend 1, and we "Overflow-ers" knew no late, large surprises would be held for us. Not that our group didn't hope. Outside of the promise of an unforgettable experience, my apprehension lay on the fact that we were headed for a rerun in 100°F-105°F degree weather. Would it be worth it? I'm happy to say it was. But I'll get there. [...]

SXSBest Week Ever: Diary of Indie’s Favorite Party Girl SXSW 2012 Wrap Up: Tuesday With one of the best SX’s behind me the inevitable wrap up post(s) are probably ripping through your tumblr feed like a shit faced drunk girl at the 24 hour pizza joint, which can be funny but also a bit much, especially since it’s only 10:30pm. This bitch isn’t allowed to take shots anymore. So in the spirit of keeping things like SXSW, shorter than usual but still amazing, sensory overload and so much fun to take part in, I [...]
SXSW - Friday, March 16 Ominous tones suffuse the corner of Red River and Sixth this afternoon. At the no-longer-named Emo's Annex, the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival is in full swing. The guttural primal screams, pounding bass and speed guitar licks complemented the nearby Green Zone with its motto of "Free Range Against The Machine." For the first time in a couple years, I had an old-fashioned SXSW day, bouncing from venue to venue without encountering any lines. Not that they didn't exist, my plans for the day just seemed to avoid [...]

Our man Flater may have left the Chippewa Valley for the 24/7 combination rave/orgy that is Chicago, but his bread-making, rubberband-headband and basketball shorts-wearing spirit is still here, persisting in the hearts and retinas of all who knew him and suffered the chronic snow-blindness that came from looking in the general direction of his immodestly exposed and highly reflective (bright, bright white) legs. God protect his soul navigating the dingy corridors of that non-stop feast of Saturnalia that is the windy city, that suppurating gas bladder of festering urbania, where the pizza sauce scandalously rests ON TOP of the cheese. [...]
