Kim Deal needs very little introduction. As a founding member of both the Pixies and the Breeders, it would be very difficult to identify any woman over the last 20 years as a more seminal figure in the realm of alternative rock 'n' roll. These days, Deal finds herself back to the Breeder grind having self-released the four-song EP, Fate to Fatal, in late April. Primed for a tour of the East Coast in early August before shooting abroad to represent 10 years of All Tomorrow's Parties in December, the pleasantly candid Deal took a bit of time to chat [...]

Claiming fame back in the day as a founding member and bass player of Weezer, Matt Sharp has since 1995 been at the helm of the cult-status electro/pop outfit known as The Rentals.

I caught up with Sharp in one of his exceedingly rare moments of downtime to discuss all [...]
Daptone Records, based out of New York City, is the music world's beating heart when it comes to throw back soul, rhythm and blues. And in keeping with their commitment to excellence come Naomi Shelton and the Gospel Queens; a thick and robust bunch that reps nothing but the finest in the veins of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. Led by the prevailing rasp of the Alabama-raised and longtime NYC club sensation Naomi Shelton and powered by the release of a debut record, What Have You Done My Brother, Naomi and company are poised to leave an inky imprint on [...]

Wayne Coyne, founding and seminal member of The Flaming Lips, is a man out on another trip. This of course is a compliment, as Coyne happens to be endowed with a sense of creativity and professionalism that does not apply to the average musician or, for the sake of cliché terminology, artist. Begun in 2001, this fall season has finally seen the long-awaited release of Christmas On Mars, a psychedelic sci-fi film written, produced and scored by The Lips with Coyne at the helm. Destined for campy-but-not-too-campy cult status, Mars has enjoyed success with independent theatres across the country. Synthesis [...]
