With Day 1 of Outside Lands 2010 behind us, we arose on Sunday psyched to catch some more rock and roll. Granted, the weather was still being a bit disagreeable, but that didn't change the fact that there was a killer bunch of bands awaiting us in the park. With that in mind, we snagged the camera, and headed out for the [...]

It seemed like it was just yesterday (it was actually February) that The Soft Pack , those San Diego bred surf punks, released their debut, self-titled full length . Now, a little more than half a year later, the band are on the verge of another headlining tour, where this time they'll split the bill with none other than Kurt Vile . Oh, where has the time gone? The band kick things of on September 4th at the FYF Fest . From there, it's a couple dates in the Big Apple [...]
Yes, yes they did. In fact, If I Had a Hi-Fi dropped two months ago and was on sale even earlier than that, exclusively on their recent Spring tour should you care to know. They covered the likes of Kate Bush, Depeche Mode, Spoon and The Go-Betweens. Above is one cut thereof, the one-time "Buzzworthy" trio freshening up The Soft Pack's "Bright Side." It's good. Real good.

Lollapalooza 2010. You wake up. Every muscle in your body hurts, even the ones you didn't know existed. The excitement of day one has all been replaced with a feeling of sheer exhaustion. "Ugh... two more days of this," you think as you contemplate the best method of getting your legs working again. Your mind then quickly focuses on which bands can be skipped in favor of an extra hour of sleep. But then you get up. A cool shower washes off all the stale sweat you chose not to get off the night before. [...]

[Moment of silence this morning to mark the passing of Fear founding member Derf Scratch ...] International Pop Overthrow surges into the second week of its annual celebration of classic and power-pop — with six to eight bands per night at rotating venues, it's an impossibly unwieldy festival to get your ears around (especially with the dearth of band links on the event's 1998-style website ). But IPO still embodies the exuberant, inclusive spirit of its founder, David Bash. You [...]

A show with Menemona as the sole headliner is enough to qualify as a great night – I can attest the band's engaging live show – but now Stateside Presents has gone ahead and added a co-headliner in The Soft Pack (pictured above), whose self-titled debut LP that was released in February is one of my very favorites of the year. (I like it so much I bought it in its incredible 7-inch box set form .) As for Menemona – a band whose name [...]
