Tweet "Re-Introducing" ? This is a new feature to fill a little niche on LBYB, bringing some more attention to artists that we thought would explode but haven't quite yet, or just throwing the limelight on an act that hasn't had any recent releases that we just love too damn much not to write about. The Octopus Project are one of those bands. The Octopus Project are an electronic indie-rock group whose swirling, layered sound owes a serious debt to [...]

We resume our reposts of the Blogophilia series this week with volumes 8 and 8.5. Why 8 and 8.5? Well, I mixed these at the same time, and the tracks came from the same collection of songs I reviewed. Calling one 8 and the other 9 didn't feel right. We've also had a 12.5, and recently a 26.5 for the same reason. Like volume 7, these two mixes really capture the summer spirit. Volume 8.5 has a throw in from an "oldie but goodie." Enjoy...

THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Maserati w/ Hollow Stars, Skin Jobs Thursday, March 31 The Earl - 488 Flat Shoals Avenue in Atlanta 30316 Admission $10 / Purchase Tickets As good as those last two Maserati albums sounded, the group is unquestionably better live than they are on record. The stratospheric guitars climb higher and push further, the distortion-fueled bombast packs a greater whallop. In many ways, the band's sweeping instrumental post-rock is music made for marveling — at the beauty, the [...]

Oh No,no Devo? That was the cry for many when we learned of the band's cancellation of their Fun Fun Fun Fest performance due to a severe hand injury suffered by guitarist Bob Mothersbaugh. But, thanks to the fine folks at Transmission Entertainment, they make good with the fans and bring the band to Austin for a performance at the newly launched ACL Live Studio . Personally, I would have loved to see the band performing on the outdoor stage at Waterloo Park under the Austin sky, packed in tight with Devo fans both young and old, but if [...]
