The L.A. 101 Festival went out with a bang (of confetti) this year with 4 bands that did Los Angeles proud.

The Airborne Toxic Event fills the Fillmore to capacity in San Francisco for a night of rock.

The historic Fillmore here in San Francisco last week hosted one of the finest live acts in recent memory. The Airborne Toxic Event graced the legendary stage in front of a sold out crowd and put on a truly stellar performance. They are the band that no one waits for a hit single while screaming absurdly between song breaks, but instead the crowd hangs on every note as the dramatic and powerfully honest Mikel Jollet draws you into his world while the band dazzles the auditory senses with perfect chemistry. Touring in support of [...]

Los Angeles' The Airborne Toxic Event are happy to announce the release of the new music video for their song "All I Ever Wanted."

The Airborne Toxic Event went from indie to mainstream pretty quickly, and their fame is fairly well deserved. They have another video out now; this time for "All I Ever Wanted." You can check it out above.

The clip for the Airborne Toxic Event 's new single, "All I Ever Wanted" may play it safe with the storyline of boy meets girl, but to be perfectly honest, it's a big relief after what we experienced from the "little band from Los Feliz" in their last music video . With Nora Kirkpatric of Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and Jesse Hoy of the Deadly Syndrome lending their acting chops, snippets of musicianship are sequenced in with the sentimental relationship bits. Also, videos aside, the Airborne Toxic Event has had no trouble promoting their latest record [...]

MUTEMATH's highly energized, blues-infused set painted the picture of what Florida's DeLuna Festival has begun to look like. In support of their new album, Odd Soul , the New Orleans quartet took the stage late Sunday evening with a sharp look and a new member, smiling throughout each song and filling the Sunshine State's cooling air with their signature sound. Hard hitting, head nodding tracks like "Odd Soul" and "Blood Pressure" moved the Pensacola crowd, who continued to dance barefoot in the sand as the sun took flight. It wasn't Linkin Park - the festival's final headliner [...]

Between October 13th and 16th, DeLuna Fest 2011 hits the beautiful shores of Pensacola Beach, FL for a weekend of music from big-name acts like The Shins, Weezer, Cake, Jane's Addiction, Cut Copy, Big Boi, Matt & Kim, Girl Talk, Cold War Kids, Manchester Orchestra, The Sounds, Airborne Toxic Event, New Pornographers, Stars, Wanda Jackson, Bettye LaVette, Kermit Ruffins, and more bands than there is sand on a beach. If spending a cold October weekend basking in the sun at the "first resort destination festival" in the country sounds like a welcomed respite, then you're in luck: [...]

I was so stoked to see our beloved Appetite For Distraction mascot band (that's right. it's official.) back on our charts that I played two songs by them! Enjoy this one, people. I certainly did!

We review a jam-packed tribute to the classic songs of the Muppets featuring songs performed by Weezer, Andrew Bird, My Morning Jacket and more.

When OK Go lead singer and guitarist Damian Kulash got to meet Kermit the Frog a couple winters ago, you could have knocked him over with the proverbial boomerang fish. Kulash's face—more like his entire body, being, and soul—was awash with a giddiness usually reserved for sci-fi fan boys who bump into George Lucas in the home electronics section of Kmart. For Kulash's generation of 20 and thirtysomethings, Kermit, the banjo-pluckin' amphibian who began as a discarded turquoise coat with halved ping-pong balls for eyes and went on to make "green" chic decades before Al Gore learned PowerPoint, [...]

Well we've got an interesting week ahead, but we've got to give love to We Are Augustines for their track "Philadelphia (The City of Brotherly Love). As you know, WAA feature Billy McCarthy (Pela) at the helm and arrive with their album Rise Ye Sunken Ships. Their album name kicks butt, their lead singer knows how to belt it out, what more could you ask for? Also this week, in an almost near tie of simple curiosity are The Muppets with The Green Album . If you're not sure [...]

• Active Child - Playing House (Ft. How To Dress Well)
• Andrew Bird - It's Not Easy Being Green
• Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Senator

The Muppets movie soundtrack is definitely worth the three-month long wait for the movie release, but we don't have to. Check out the indie darlings' soundtrack now.

Welp, it's time once again for that glorious event we (and by we, I mean me...and by me I mean I) like to call the Countdown! I'm probably not going to be posting a lot other than podcasts on here for a bit (my computer still registers "podcasts" as a misspelled word...get with the times, computer!) because I just got a gig writing album reviews for Listen Before You Buy ! I'm very excited about it. But I'm going to need to focus all my bloggy energy on getting going on that. But I'll get all squared [...]
