Maestro - A War Zone (EP) Romain Icick, Fred Soulard et Mark Kerr est un trio franco-écossais qui a sorti chez Tigersushi leur premier maxi, et accessoirement deux des meilleurs morceaux de l'année. "Devils" et "A War Zone" (écoutez-le sur MySpace ), bien que très différents, mais partagent la même classe. Ils passent aisément de l'afrobeat aux couplets à chanter en choeur à l'industriel sombre et psychédélique de "Devils". En écoutant ce morceau un gros "WARNING" s'est allumé dans ma tête, Maestro a tout pour réussir. Ils [...]
Marathon :: Tennis I've been sitting on this track for bit, and I finally have a chance to write a little bit today. Tennis are a husband and wife duo, and they begun to pick up some steam in the blogosphere with the track "Marathon." It's the perfect song for the summer. It is poppy and infectious, and the vocals (at least to me) evoke the sort of 50s/60s girls vocals; they maintain the upbeat and carefree feeling that make it so summery. It is destined for being [...]
Free Sonic Youth! Free Sonic Youth! Sonic Youth at Irving Plaza in 2001 was the first concert I ever went to. I was a very innocent 15. I went with my older brother and sister, and a drunk girl passed out in front of me. My only complaint about the show was everyone was just standing around instead of getting into it. All of those impressions seem hilariously funny now, and I'm excited that this FREE show tomorrow will be my first time seeing the tock and roll legends since. If you've never had a chance to catch them before [...]

Grass Widow: they might be your new favorite band...just sayin'... because I kind of think they might be mine. I'm hearing so many touches of things I already love in their sound. A little Breeders , a little classic 90s indie guitar sound, a little 70s proto riot grrrl/post punky stuff like Raincoats or Slits , a little Sleater-Kinney every now and then. And yet it's completely it's own thing. Yessssss. I've been listening to their [...]

SF Weekly's All Shook Down Festival - Photo by Spencer Crooks The San Francisco Bay Area has a wealth of great bands, but for some reason it's not widely recognized as the wellspring of music that it is. Maybe it's because we share a coast with Seattle, L.A. and Portland which have long been touted as fertile ground for artists or maybe it's just that we had our day (see the 1960's) and we've simply passed the torch. However, after Sunday's All Shook Down Festival in North Beach, it seems it might be time for the [...]

We're a bit late with this one we know, as it has been doing the blog rounds for a little while and we have been meaning to post it for ages. The reason is we have caught ourselves humming and nodding along to Shadow by Grass Widow on countless occasions recently. It is from their forthcoming album Past Time , due next month on Kill Rock Stars . Grass Widow are an all-girl trio from California released a self-titled LP last year which marked them out as ones to watch. This taster [...]
Ask any musician who's been around the world a few times, and they'll tell you hometown gigs are always special. Given that they will be on their home turf, Sonic Youth 's show at Celebrate Brooklyn! sponsored by LimeWire Store will no doubt be extra special, with the legendary Big Apple noisemakers expected to pull out all of the stops, dipping into their vast catalog of post-punk fodder and choking every last bit of feedback out of their arsenal of vintage guitars. The fun takes place on Saturday, July 31st at the Prospect [...]

The first single from Grass Widow's upcoming "Past Time" album is here. And, of course, it's great. I saw this quote from GW bassist/singer Hannah Lew and thought it was pretty awesome, so decided to pass it along. "Women on stage or on the internet play a similar role to women in films, looked at but not returning the gaze," says Lew. "Women have been excluded from the audience. I want to think that we are challenging this pattern by representing ourselves in a way that makes a lot of space for women in the audience" Grass Widow- [...]
