The Long Blondes Play the Echo Tonight Pretty active night in LA. Tonight's Pick: The Dillards @ McCabe's ($26.50) – There's an 8:00PM and 10:00PM show. The Dillards are a bluegrass band that plugged in and were very influential in the development of country-rock. Doug Dillard was hard partying and teamed up with bad boy, Gene Clark on the seminal album, "The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard and Clark." Chris Hillman considers it the greatest country-rock album ever. I'm reading a thick Gene [...]

You know me. You know I love Brendan Benson, The National and Elliot Smith. We can add another one to the list now. Southerly . Seriously, I am impressed by any musician or band that has such a diverse sound and are this multi-talented. From Portland, Oregon (Yay Toby) hails Krist Krueger who does it all. Skratch magazine calls him a "one man musical army." If that doesn't pique your interest well then I honestly don't know what will. Take a listen: Krist Krueger [...]
"As the best releases usually are, Storyteller & The Gossip Columnist is inspired by a whole bunch of different genres and artists. Imagine shoegaze at it's finest, made more orchestral but at the same time a bit folky, and then steered in a traditional pop song direction and fleshed out quite a bit, and you're close to the sound of Southerly . The sound itself is painted a bit dark and introverted, but at times it explodes and delivers a surprisingly upbeat, almost happy song... All of this makes for a very interesting album, one that makes [...]
Today is a great day for a number of reasons. For one, it's the last day of the workweek, which is always great. Plus, we got to watch the season finales of The Office and Scrubs last night. Secondly, we're only one day away from heading to Chicago to catch Arcade Fire at the Chicago Theater. And to cap things off, we're heading straight out to Boston the next day - although it's for work - but hey, at least we're getting out of Sconny for a few. Because of our escapades, we'll be off tomorrow [...]

Southerly, the nom-de-tune of Krist Krueger is the product of a bona fide DIY visionary. Not only does Krueger sing, write and arrange the music, he's a seasoned [...]
