For locals, South by Southwest is as much of an invasion as Mardi Gras is in New Orleans. "Spring Break, 2011!" visitors cry over the debauchery and decibels of Sixth Street. Austin's main drag becomes a complete, apocalyptic shit-show for the entirety of the festival experience. With streets shut down, vans pull in as close to their destined club's curb as possible. The whole area is a non-stop cycle of loading in and loading out. [...]
After the La Roux show scheduled for last Wednesday (10 February) was postponed to 25 July due to the latest round of snow here, I was so worried about the We Were Promised Jetpacks boys making it safely to the States that I sent them a Tweet to check on them. Wednesday night they Tweeted me back from New York with the following exultant message: " don't worry, we made it in yesterday! " Single gals like me wince just thinking about Valentine's Day. This year however I was really, really [...]
After trudging through the skeletal slush of a weekend snowstorm, I finally arrived at the NE address of one Erik Bruner-Yang to talk about the long life, and soon the departure, of DC indie rock songbirds Pash. We wandered to the back of his artfully adorned home until we found a suitable place to sit down with a cup of warm tea and coffee, respectively, and have a long chat about music. Having personally been there for a large part of Pash's career, and that musical era of the last decade [...]
Ryan McLaughlin of DC's own, Typefighter and backed by his mom. It's a new song performed for All Our Noise Session it's called "Foolish Bastards" Gotta support the locals.
Happy New year everyone, hope you all survived the debauche of the holidays. December is always tough to keep focus, what with everyone in celebration mode. But as the date shifts from nine to ten, it's time to hit the ground running, and here at AON, we're all eager to get to work on what's next. This [...]
Friday night was anything but warm and intimate. Sure, the seating was cozy, but the stage and speakers hit heavy for the most part. John and Paul Thornley started off and brought the rhythms with some surprise harmonica melodies from Stewart Lupton, the younger Thornley strummed so hard he actually broke two strings and had [...]
First, I'd like to thank all of the artists and patrons who came out to the inaugural week; it was beyond awesome. Week number two is no different. Right off the bat, I'll remind you, even All Our Noise has their own night. But there are a thousand and more reasons to go beyond that: Per usual, there [...]
The Capital Fringe Festival was gracious enough to offer us a chance to put together a show of our very own! So we've recruited some of our more musically-inclined friends to entertain you, because we're sure you'd rather see them perform than hear Jian and Raul do live readings of entries while Victor and Brandon [...]
Ah saiddd, you ain't punchin' those keys hard enough feller! D.C.'s Typefighter comes to Knox Road through a recommendation from good pal Aaron Leeder, of D.C. and NYC (and swiftly growing ) favorites, Exit Clov . He has been incredibly supportive of this here blog, and we thank him (and the rest of Exit Clov for that matter) for the continued love. The six-piece Typefighter deliver a unique brand of folk - I can't really tell how I'm supposed to feel when listening to their music. Like, for some artists you just [...]

Poco sabemos de este quinteto de Washington DC que tiene por nombre Typefighter, en realidad todavía no han publicado ningún disco y tan solo tienen algunas canciones disponibles en su MySpace, canciones de folk-pop con sonido genuinamente americano. Entre ellas, una llamada "Ocean Floor" me llamó poderosamente la atención desde la primera vez que la escuché, se trata de un tema tremendamente pegadizo, de suave melodía y agradable instrumentación, en donde no faltan las palmas o los coros, siendo el resultado sumamente atractivo. Según parece, acaban de terminar de grabar algunos temas, por lo que es probable que [...]
Yes yes, more shows, no time, no money. Here's where you can find all sorts of hip kids jammin' out this week in the D.C./Baltimore area.

Because that's what he does. Seriously. Love it. He and locals Played Tomorrow and Northernmost are all playing with Medications . Tickets [...]
