A mediados del año pasado les presentamos una banda de la bahía de San Francisco que estaba creciendo en el ámbito local, lanzando un EP diseñado según el gusto de cada comprador con diversas técnicas (témperas, crayola, plastilina, etc.). La verdad creímos que no volveríamos hablar de estas niñas, como pasa con la mayoría de las bandas que pasan por Cortesía de la Casa, lamentablemente. The Splinters hace parte de esas excelentes bandas que oyeron primero en CDC y que pueden crecer mucho durante los meses venideros [...]

Our dear editor-in-chief posted this on the Spinning Platters twitter account: SpinnPlatt Our concert calendar looks sad and lonely for the next two weeks. Someone talk us into something, please. Which makes me realize that he needs this column more than anyone else. Just because Fauxchella is only two weeks away, doesn't mean you can take a [...]

Saturday, March 29, 2010 Today's Quick Mention: My friends over at Austin Sound have put together their annual compilation of local awesomeness. You have to check it out. Or else you shouldn't refer to yourself as a human. Since we got SOTO back up and running this weekend with a slew of film content and a stacked podcast (by the way, you should at least download it to hear the fantastic new single from the Black Keys), it seemed like a good idea to keep the momentum going [...]

The fly honeys from the Splinters had their new album drop yesterday and we here at FMLY are puuuuumped. These new tunes still make you wanna boogie down, jump around, and chant along à la Splintered Bridges - but Kick has also got some songs up it’s sleeve that can give you a serious dose of gooseflesh. I’d recommend grabbing a convertible, some sunshine, and some sweet shades before putting this on your car stereo. I’d then recommend driving that convertible to Austin and singing along with them at our [...]

Written by: Maris Kaplan Photos by: Irja Elisa Although named Amnesia, the small San Francisco bar offered an unforgettable night of music last Thursday evening with performances from three majorly reputable San Francisco and East Bay acts: Magic Bullets, the Splinters, and Hunx and His Punkettes. A packed house crowded in under the dim red lights from the very first song of Magic Bullets , called "Kick." Between hip swinging and hair tossing, the crowd was thanked and points were scored for the use of the [...]

photo by steven robbins So yeah I'm driving to LA this weekend and I threw together this little sample playlist of what I'm going to have playing on my stereo on the way down there. Much of this playlist is somewhat new and quite impressive so try to make it through, pass it around, and let me know your thoughts. Enjoy! [Audio clip: view full post to listen] PLAY ENTIRE PLAYLIST ABOVE [mp3] Foals - Spanish Sahara [...]

So this is it, the first FensePost Podcast. A few weeks ago I sat down and compiled a mix of various songs; some new, some old, most finding some relation to garage rock or garage pop. Hence the title, From The Garage . The theme is loose, so some bands fit and some don't. There are sixteen songs total here, stemming from local Seattle and Portland acts on across the world. New Zealand, Sweden, Canada... you get the picture. Enough banter - listen to the FenseCast already. [...]

Here's the very beginning of it: Wednesday, March 3rd Deer Tick at The Independent, 8 PM Deer Tick is one of the most versatile [...]

Foreign Born Believe it or not, this was my first Noise Pop Festival . Last year I worked through the whole thing and wasn’t really too happy about that. Weird hours will do that to you. Anyways, I kicked off my experience with the pre-party at the California Academy of Science. Not a huge fan of The Frail but a huge fan of science, so I got to geek out with some friends about both music and the Late Cretaceous period. Har Mar [...]
