[PHOTO: Matt Dressen for Clicky Clicky] Philadelphia noise-pop crew Bleeding Rainbow blasted through a bristling, low-fanfare set at Portland's Wonder Ballroom Friday, visiting town in support of its third record Yeah Right , which was released earlier this year on Kanine Records. Bleeding Rainbow has successfully moved beyond the more traditional pop approach of its past and in the direction of a more calculated guitar band, one evocative of a very specific point in alternative rock history. The strength of the band's more recent approach was on [...]
Pretty Girls Make Graves - “Speakers Push Air”
U are hearing about this awesome record Funeral Beach by Blood Command. Get used to it!
I've just had a fucked-up day. It's cold and freezing. I thought, hey, lets check out this gig tonight and cheer myself up coz Azores (ex-members of Cissy) is playing and it's time to check out new bands that I probably would not have come across in my usual circuit. So I packed my camera and other gear in my bag and cabbed it down. It was like, in an industrial estate in the middle of nowhere. Well, no, it wasn't in the middle of nowhere, I'm just being bitter.Why bitter? Well this: So I was met at the gates [...]

Pretty Girls Make Graves ademas de ser el titulo de una cancion de The Smiths tambien era el nombre de una banda que lamentablemente se desintegro en 2007 despues de haber lanzado el que segun yo fue su mejor album: "Elan Vital". Esto por supuesto seguramente muchos de ustedes ya lo sabian por que Pretty Girls Make Graves no es una de esas bandas que son 100% desconocidas e incluso, tienen tracks que son recordados con mucho cariño de sus primeros albums como "All Medicated Geniuses" pero hoy, para finalizar la semana quise 'revivirlos' un poco ya que precisamente uno [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: There are a lot of fuzz-o-gistics going on with Black Wine's Summer of Indifference from their familiar So Cals sounds at times that are mixed with some Mission of Burma and then there are these epic zen-arcadian moments that just rip up the planks. There are also dark pop gems like "Maycrowing" with Miranda their drummer singing who's narrative like storytelling style evens out the Milo-esque keel in this vessel. In earnest all the vocal melodies drive this underground popish outfit. It's a very fine roast [...]
What do you do after you've nailed multiple genres and been in highly-respected bands like Murder City Devils and Pretty Girls Make Graves? You change it up again, of course. Derek Fudesco, of the previously mentioned bands, is now a member of The Cave Singers. Their third album No Witch dropped this week. It's a folksy romp of an album full of understated guitars and melodies that could bring the Hatfields and McCoys together for an afternoon luncheon. It made me want to drink a bottle of moonshine and [...]
It's time again to look back and reflect. What were we listening to one year ago? Listen to the November 2009 Mix to find out...

This is a serious subject, and one I don't plan to take very lightly. As I've attended several shows recently, even small local ones, I began to look at the racial dynamic in the Austin music scene. Oddly, one giant sore thumb sticks out: the lack of African-American attendees at these shows. This is probably the same way in every city across the land, and I tend to think it's quite unfortunate. I'm not here to debate how to solve the problem, if you deem this a problem, but rather to honor my Top Five African-American participants in the [...]

Rating: 0.5 out of 5 stars When the Jaguar Love project first came to fruition, it was initially 2 parts Blood Brothers and 1 part Pretty Girls Make Graves . They released an incredible single with "Highways of Gold." That was then. Now the band is 2 parts Blood Brothers and no parts PGMG ; will this affect the sound of Hologram Jams ? The answer is yes, and you'll be surprised how much. [...]
by chuck bell One would be hard-pressed to find a band name more allusive than Pretty Girls Make Graves . The most obvious reference would be The Smiths' song from their self-titled album. However, that song refers to a line from Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Burns , which itself refers to a correspondence between Allen Ginsberg and Bob Dylan. As it turns out, the band's formation was just as circuitous as their name. The core of the band was frontwoman [...]
We're happy to tell you about some new friends we've made from Denver, Colorado: Snake Rattle Rattle Snake. They've just release their self-titled EP, and they've already us wanting more. We're offering up one of these tracks to you, which showcases the brooding vocals Hayley Helmericks. For some reason, this recalls a really dark version of Pretty Girls Make Graves if they were more post-industrial than post-punk, if that makes sense to anyone but me. The group is making their way to Austin for SXSW, and we'll [...]
Im Jahr 2007 begann auch ich - als letzter von uns dreien - mein Studentenleben. Dafür blieb ich in meiner Heimatstadt Mainz, lernte an der Uni allerdings jede Menge neue Leute kennen. Unter anderem auch den Kollegen Matze , der mich bald fragte, ob ich nicht Lust hätte, einen Gastbeitrag für seinen Musikblog indiestreber zu schreiben. Wie ihr euch schon denken könnt - ich hatte! Und bei dem einen Artikel 1 sollte es nicht bleiben, schon bald war ich Teil der "Redaktion". Somit war [...]
2006 war für mich ein Jahr mit zahlreichen Veränderungen und Neuerungen. Ich machte mein Abitur, begann meinen Zivildienst in einem Mainzer Jugendzentrum, spielte das erste Konzert mit meiner Band, legte mir einen iPod zu und meldete mich bei last.fm an. Außerdem habe ich Ende 2006, nachdem ich mir zuvor schon einige Ausgaben am Kiosk gekauft hatte, mit der VISIONS meine erste Musikzeitschrift abonniert. Diese begleitet mich auch heute noch durchs Leben und hat mir in den letzten Jahren jede Menge interessante Bands nahegebracht. Die Musikszene wurde im Jahr 2006 [...]
So Leute, jetzt habe ich mal den Vortritt und darf als erster von uns dreien über mein 2002 schreiben. Als mehr oder minder cooler 15- bzw. 16-jähriger war mein Musikgeschmack damals noch immer hauptsächlich auf harte und laute Sachen beschränkt. Crossover, Punk, Nu Metal, Alternative Rock - diese Schiene. Inzwischen hatte ich auch, so wie einige andere Freunde von mir, angefangen zu skaten. Zwar war ich dabei nicht besonders erfolgreich, aber wenigstens passte der Soundtrack. Da sich sonst bei meinen musikalischen Präferenzen und in meinem Leben nicht viel tat, 1 an dieser [...]
Welcome to part one of GIMME TINNITUS' Best Songs Of The Aughts where we look back on the best songs of 2000-2004. Back when all the "best of the decade" whoopla started earlier this year (with Pitchfork's Best Of ), I began thinking about the songs I would have blogged about had I actually been blogging (or let's say posting about music on an angelfire page) way back in 2000. I sifted through many tracks to come up with this list, and I hope it helps you reconnect with some tracks you may have forgotten [...]
