THE HIVES INVADE AUSTIN According to this Pitchfork report , after a string of European festivals the infamously insane Hives will be invading our shores with an American tour that thankfully dips south into Austin. Looks like they'll be playing Sept. 16 th at Stubb's so mark your calendars now people. This is all of course to support the release of last year's terrific Black and White Album which you should pick up immediately (here's a track from it!). [...]

A collective win for mankind! Vocalist Howlin' Pelle Almqvist, drummer Chris Dangerous, bassist Dr. Matt Destruction, and guitarists Nicholaus Arson and Vigilante Carlstroem have listened to your pleas. The Hives will be returning to various raised platforms on which theatrical performances are given to bestow their sheer brilliance, incomparable riffs and rugged good looks in honor of the greatest stack of songs ever recorded, 'The Black and White Album' . Long time partners in good times, California's own Eagles of Death Metal , will maximize the bang for your hard [...]

The world shall go on! The saviors of our culture are coming back! The Hives , those bastions of moral and social order (and musical enlightenment), are coming back to the Western hemisphere, and, more importantly, to our hearts. They may or may not write the most important songs your brain may ever endure, but we're sure of one thing: they put on the greatest live show we've ever witnessed. It's earth-shattering and completely dangerous. To those that like to cross arms, that is. Dates: Sep 05 Brasilia, [...]

Sooo edgy. So formal, yet so self-expressive. Hate to say u told us so, yall. Remember when this [...]

The New York State Executive Mansion has been home to state's Governors since 1875, and the revolving door of residents have always updated the mansion to suit their particular needs. Teddy Roosevelt added a gym because he was an exercise nut. Franklin Roosevelt added a pool because his gimpy polio body couldn't handle Teddy's old school workout machinery. Alfred E. Smith (pic'd), meanwhile, oversaw the construction of a zoo, alledgedly on account of his strong beastiality fetish. Now, David Paterson has joined this distinguished list...

Also in DC is Appomattox, Len Bias, and The Mussels at the Velvet Lounge . In Philly Jose Gonzalez plays the World Cafe Live . Finally you might want to consider Prabir & The [...]
Mount Eerie is at it again folks. The band known for their dark, hard rocking ways have once again put it together on what is quickly becoming a fave around these parts. It rocks hard, it has it's weird lyrics, and it never stops luring me further in. I was a little put off by the track "Don't Smoke", but my personal afflictions have no real place in a pre-review. I've only gone through the album
