Welcome RoundMusic - a San Francisco-based company that got its start promoting house music parties, but has expanded to an eclectic record label. For their first release, RoundMusic is putting out a split 7-inch with two highly energetic, local indie pop bands: Rykarda Parasol and Mister Loveless . The split includes a previously unreleased Rykarda Parasol track, "A Drinking Song," as well as Mister Loveless' "The Old Pain" from his Three Words EP released in May. Rykarda [...]

It's back and sporting some kickass line-ups for this year. Tonight kicked off the San Francisco side of the festival with shows at The Makeout Room, Café Du Nord, and The Knockout. The festival itself was created in 1996 and has since hosted the likes of Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banhart, Deerhoof, The Dodos, Kelley Stoltz, Thee Oh Sees, and Vetiver . This year is no exception. So to kick off this little festival, we decided to name our top five favorite artists on the bill (one of which performed last night, sorry Rykarda). So if you aren't [...]

2010 Mission Creek Music Festival Mix (Podcast #222) After a weekend of shows in Oakland, the 2010 Mission Creek Music Festival kicks into full swing this week with concerts around the City featuring a bunch of ace predominantly local bands. This mix features ten bands playing Mission Creek shows. For the full list of upcoming events, head to mcmf.org . I don't know a lot about The Lambs ("Brother Sister White") yet, but the San Francisco group has some [...]
Chambers opened the night at Cafe du Nord this past Sunday, launching the crowd into deep space with synthesizer and guitar layers that encompassed reverberated, cavernous vocals. Appropriately, singer Gareth Lloyd moonwalked his way through parts of the show. His vocals careened over the shifting rhythms of drumming played by three members of the band throughout the set, adding a great spacious feeling to their sound. It was refreshing to see the confidence of Chambers' female guitarists and bass player as they deftly worked through the rapid transitions of the songs. Sarah Melfy's performance on [...]

Καθόλου Πασχαλιάτικη, σίγουρα όμως ανοιξιάτικη η συλλογή του Μαρτίου.. 1. Casey Chandler - Lost Generation [zs] Ο Casey Chandler χρησιμοποιεί το όνομα Galapaghost για το one man project του, αλλά προτίμησα να παρουσιάσω το θαυμάσιο Lost Generation με το κανονικό του όνομα για προφανείς λόγους [είναι ο μοναδικός πραγματικός Chandler που ξέρω]. Η σύνθεση και ο τρόπος που τραγουδά ο Casey σ'αυτό το τραγούδι [...]

Photo Credit Sterling Andrews @ Shutterface Photography "The band decided to spend 2010 putting out a stream of singles. Singer/bassist Matthew Stolarz was the original bassist of The Briggs (who are a fairly well known anthemic punk rock band, on SideOne Dummy records) yet he left and formed the Active Set, which is something quite different. Here he shares his story of leaving and starting from scratch". The Active Set`s subtly poetic new wave focus, a [...]

Oft er fátt betra á sunnudögum en að fá sér smá rúnt. Kaupa sér ís og keyra um hverfi borgarinnar. Þetta á við um Netið og víðlendur þess líka. Ísinn verður að kaffibolla og farartækið er Eldrefur eða Alnetskönnuður. Maður stoppar við hér, heyrir eitt lag þar og á öðrum stað er slegið upp síðbúnu teiti og á enn öðrum stað situr fólk íhugult undir þungum tilvistarkrepputónum og starir út í tómið. Ég ætla á rúntinn. Vopnaður kaffibolla smelli ég mér af stað. Southerly - Trials [...]
You didn't think we were going to omit our weekly Friday Mixtape from the new site, did you? Sure, there's a lot of newness all around, but the formula for the Mixtape remains the same - put together week's best mix of new singles, remixes, and covers. Then, for kicks, we add mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out. Anyhow, as always, we did just that this week and are now ready to present it to you below. Enjoy! We also would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our brand new [...]

Riverside, Austin, TX – 7PM) 04/15/10: Pianos (158 Ludlow St. New York, NY – 8PM) Born of a holocaust orphan and distant Swedish royalty, Rykarda Parasol uses her life story and a love of literature to craft music that is vacuously dark while simultaneously a celebration of life and its vices. With a voice and lyrics compared [...]

RYKARDA PARASOL FOR BLOOD AND WINE (Self-released) www.rykardaparasol.com It's fortunate that Rykarda Parasol has such a strong voice, because otherwise her latest release, For Blood and Wine , would just end up being a boring and brooding mass of songs (sixteen in all). This isn't exactly a bad album, it's just one that is all that interesting. There's a lot to like about Rykarda Parasol besides her voice. She's established an underground art collective called "The Hive" in San Francisco, there is [...]

Great things happen when you least expect it. For example, when we began piece together this week's edition of the Friday Mixtape, we never thought it would turn out to be one of the best ever. Sure, we assumed this week's mix, which features the best new singles, remixes, covers, and mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out, would be good. But this good? Nah! Enjoy! NEW Singles: "Let's Go Fucking Mental" by The Brian Jonestown Massacre "Home" [...]

"Describing her sound as `rock noir`, Rykarda Parasol's music evokes moody cinema drenched in gin and white-collar crime. Her personal songs depict bad love and bad deeds in stark simplicity." All the necessary melodrama surrounding this talented lady and her multicultural family tree is wholly justified, if anything the hype is a little subdued. While Siouxsie vocal references are duly made and PJ Havery/Nick Cave post goth narratives break the ironic surface, Rykarda`s delivery is no accidental scenario. It will almost make you laugh, it will certainly make you cry, [...]
