…Vanity Theft's debut full-length, Post Script, Pace Yourself, was one of our favorite local releases of 2008. So, we were naturally stoked in 2010 to see Alicia Grodecki (vocals, keyboards), Brittany Hill (vocals, guitar), Elyse Driskill (drums, vocals) and latest addition Lalaine (bass, vocals) were touring nationally and actually starting to generate a buzz… …when the [...]

The Dollyrots will be at Skully's on Monday, August 30 along with The Cliks and Hunter Valentine. Sure, it's a Monday night, but the show starts at 8 and should be over before anybody turns into a pumpkin. I hit up a campus-area CD store last week, the day A Little Messed Up was released. The CD store owner told me that his UPS shipment hadn't come in for the day and he wasn't sure whether or not this CD would be part of [...]
The volumes of great music that artists and bands have been sending in over the past few months is impressive, and taking time to get through - literally hundreds. And so we have to keep slimming down the list to make it realistic. Today we are adding five more bands to watch in 2010. A couple [...] Related posts:Band to Watch: Chicago's Glitter Bones Bands That Rock!

Hunter Valentine - Stalker (mp3)* I love this! There is a severe lack of this kind of female-fronted hard rock bands. Reminds me a little of The Distillers. Hunter Valentine are an all-girl three-member Canadian rock band led by singer-guitarist Kiyomi McCloskey. Their new album Lessons From The Late Night will be released May 11th. Buy @ Amazon (only $6.99!) ****************************** ** Mountain Man - Soft Skin (mp3)* Despite the masculine name, Vermont-based Mountain Man is another all-female trio. Their [...]
At least for us east coast peeps, it looks as if summer has officially arrived. The temperature is crackin' 80, the humidity is already driving us nuts, and free shows are now a plenty.

As always, included below is a mix of the week's best new singles, remixes, and covers along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check [...]

Frank Yang I would say that a band that's been around as long, as influential and as consistently excellent as The Wedding Present has been over their quarter-century existence is entitled to a little indulgence, and what better occasion than the 21st anniversary of one of your most beloved albums? But indulgence isn't the Wedding Present's style, so rather than make a big production of it, they rolled into town on Wednesday night to do their thing, same as they've done a number of times since David Gedge put [...]

by Richie Adomako and Marjana Jaidi At Sullivan Hall, Break Science scored early points when they started their set with dubstep; Rusko's remix of "Pro Nails" (Kid Sister) was an early highlight. Over the course of an hour, duo showcased their wide breadth of both musical styles and talent. Adam Deitch's sharp drumming was complimented by Borahm Lee, who played the keyboard and dropped samples from his laptop. They played all styles of music, with influences from hip-hop, rock, jazz, [...]
