Damien Rice - Prague Als aufgeweckter indiestreber sollte man auch mal eine Klassenfahrt unternehmen. Und genau das habe ich getan, sozusagen: Das vergangene halbe Jahr verbrachte ich in Prag, um dort an der altehrwürdigen Karlsuniversität ein Auslandssemester zu absolvieren - und natürlich auch, um die Konzertlocations der Stadt zu erkunden. Was ich dabei so alles entdeckt habe, davon will ich hier berichten. Prag mag zwar nicht in der ersten Liga der europäischen Hipster-Metropolen spielen, doch neben der ganzen architektonischen Schönheit und einer angenehmen Entspanntheit hat die Stadt auch ein [...]

We already revelaed the three curators —Les Savy Fav, Battles, and Caribou—for ATP's annual Nightmare Before Christmas shows in the UK. Now comes news of some of the bands those artists have chosen to appear at the event, and it's starting to shape up like another rmust-see event from the organization. Archers of Loaf, Marnie Stern and No Age have been hand picked by Les Savy Fav; Flying Lotus, Walls, and the Psychic Paramount have been added by Battles; and Junior Boys, the Ex, and Omar Souleyman will appear on Caribou's day. The Battles/FlyLo match-up should make this worthy [...]

Toronto - March 8 was International Women's Day. I can think of no better performer to watch on that day than Marnie Stern . Why? Well, obviously because she's a woman. She's such a woman that she named her blog The Vagina Monoblog . Yes, she occasionally likes to talk about vaginas onstage, much to the delight of the fanboys up front who shouted things like "You're cute, Marnie!" She and her band also apparently talk about strange things like how much money they would have to be paid to have sex with 11 year olds. You thought Taylor [...]

It's hard to dislike Marnie Stern , especially when you're standing right in front of her. The New York guitar experimentalist is vulgar, irreverent, sardonically-sweet, and 100% charming, offering hilarious, comedienne-ready quips at every lull. She's a lovable character, something that's cherished in the patchy realm of weekday rock-club touring. But no amount of banter can fully salvage the muggy interiors of Austin's Mohawk – especially on a Wednesday night. The crowd wasn't especially dense, and the patrons that did make their way downtown seemed weighed down by middle-of-the-week gloom. Stern herself was struggling through [...]

Now, in a story that has gone viral the last few days and has been picked up by news outlets such as USA Today , the Associated Press and the Huffington Post [...]
