Ok, so we had too much fun over New Years and skipped hosting a hangover Rumble party in January, THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND is back for February with an incredible line-up @ Holocene tonight with three Portland based acts. JAGUAR LOVE is our featured act on this month's Rumble Tour of the West Coast parties, and from the sound of last night's action in Seattle, they ' Started A Fire '. [...]

A Lion! opening) played our Future Sounds Presents set last Saturday at Spaceland. Enjoy this short- it's Monday right?- set of pictures below of the set, as part of our CAUGHT LIVE section. [...]
Dear Seattle, We didn't leave you, we just enjoyed the holidays and prepared for what THE RUMBLE: SEATTLE is about to bring you TONIGHT at an all new location - HAVANA SOCIAL CLUB - and with two bands we think are incredible. Headlining and playing all The Rumble west coast dates in February is the mighty JAGUAR LOVE . The band is about to drop in March their full-length, ' Hologram Jams ' (Fat Possum) and their new material [...]

Everyone keeps saying it, but it's official, the 90's are back in all their lo-fi glory. No band is more of a figurehead for this resurgence, than San Francisco's GIRLS who took the stage Monday night at Orange County's Detroit Bar. Christopher Owens and JR White took the packed crowd back about 15 years for an evening of jangly grunge pop; heavy on the melancholy, but beautiful nonetheless. Children of God (Owen was raised in the cult) references [...]

San Francisco sextet Maus Haus play an frantic, yet refreshing sound that oozes the nostalgic innovation of acts like The Silver Apples tinkering with a psych-jazz flow and wobble bass runs played alongside a hairy Krautrockers's synth collection inside their collective bedrooms. Yes, the guitarless music is sort of in league of it's own one could say. Though, at it's very basic, it's dream-pop music played by six vintage-obsessed guys, who all [...]

This Saturday night, Future Sounds is proud to present a night of music with some of our favorites @ Spaceland. NICO STAI , the artist that just continues to blossom in front of our very eyes, will be headlining and bringing his Joe Strummer-meets-Springsteen sound to what should be a loaded house. The heavenly voices of CHIEF , another Rumble LA veteran, will show you why their new record is going to be placed high in your iPod next to your Fleet Foxes and Mumford & Sons. Coming in from Seattle, it's [...]
CAUGHT LIVE: APOLLO RUN IN LOS ANGELES New York trio Apollo Run played a muggy night's set at The Mint Room in Los Angeles last night with support from Wintergreen and Big Rock Candy Mountain . Led by the genre-hopping intensity of multi-instrumentalist (guitar, piano and trumpet) John McGrew, the band's sound falls somewhere between a stripped [...]
The perfect set up for Valentine's Day, we're thrilled to announce that JAGUAR LOVE will be playing ALL of the west coast RUMBLE dates in February. We've been clocking them for some time, but this new album, ' Hologram Jams ' is filled with just that, JAMS! The record drops in March on Fat Possum and we've already been banging ' Started A Fire ' and ' Polaroids & Red Wine " on the FS show on WOXY , but this disc runs deep. The [...]
CAUGHT LIVE: ASA RANSOM IN LOS ANGELES It seems that almost every week a new blog-praise, wave-riding band from New York City is mentioned as 'One To Watch.' It's true that the city does foster a scene better than most, but it is, at times, a near-exhausting conversation between critics and fans regarding the hype. To credit the 'new band' accolade, I present New York five-some ASA RANSOM as one that you can take my word for in place of the next five 'it band' mentions [...]
WHAT ABOUT: Jump Clubb In 1977 Richard Hell released " Blank Generation ," a call-to-arms that clocked in just shy of three minutes. The song easily summed up the drop-in-a-bucket feeling of that day's youth, thinking no doubt that they were simply void of any larger group. "I was saying get me out of this place," Hell begged. After him and his Voidoids' helped build the base for punk, the legendary No Wave scene was born and legions of innovative, refreshing and [...]
TURBO! TURBO! TURBO! Tonight at The Troubadour it's the return of the legend - TURBO!
