New: Death Songs - Death Songs 10” EP Slightly less morbid in style than the moniker might suggest, Nick Delffs (also of Castanets , and The Shaky Hands ) is the man behind half Death Songs , a Portland-based indie pop outfit started with his Brother in 2007, set to drop their new self-titled EP on October 4th. From that release comes a rather unconventional Flamenco-influenced take in ‘Ophelia’, being offered as a free download by the band ahead of the 10” release on Post-Consumer. An evening European shuffle sits contentedly beneath [...]

The first installment of SoundTown Music Festival in Somerset, WI, had a lot riding on the shoulders of 2,500 attendees. The new management of the former Float-Rite Park Amphitheater tried to revamp the arena's image after years of Ozzfest-induced damage to the grounds and its reputation in the town of Somerset. And what better way to do it than to bring in beloved local bands with a Flaming Lips cherry on top? Granted, it’s not quite the same when a 40,000-person amphitheater is about five percent full, but who notices when you’re in the front row reaching for [...]
Slick Rick at SoundTownIt's hard to believe there are only a matter of hours left in this weekend's SoundTown festival; with a large portion of the concertgoers camping overnight, we've hit a stride

Mathieu Santos is the bassist and one of the founders of Ra Ra Riot. I was surprised to find out he would be releasing his own album and upon listening I was very satisfied with Santos' final product. I recently received an email from his promo company announcing a new remix by Friendly Ghost so I figured now's the time to post about Mathieu's new solo endeavor. Before we get to the music please read the story of how this album came to be: "The songs that compose Massachusetts 2010 were first written last year in [...]

Tweet "But have you ever been to New York in May The loveliest month so they say Up town and Central Park Until it gets too dark" Hot new artist alert! I'd like you all to meet Miss Alice Gold.

Looking the part for SXSW South by South West (SXSW) 25th Anniversary was a shit show of music, fans, and characters. Forgive me if we spare you the details, and decide instead to cut the filler and get into the meat. These are the bands we heard, even for a moment, with a short reaction. Daedelus Reaction : Daedelus, born Alfred, continues to wear button down clothes that are far too hot for the occasion. We realize that regal and sweaty is a look, but [...]
