there's nothing wrong with convention when it works but i've always been more interested in artists looking to expand the musical map than tread water. exploring this territory is always fraught with misnomers: bands who call themselves experimental when really they just don't know how to use their instruments. sifting through the haystack has it's rewards ...

i don't dip into the local talent pool as often as i should but this one really grabbed me. terra lopez (formerly of evening episode & kyoto beat orchestra fame) has a new musical project called sister crayon. it's pretty fantastic. to take fantastic to new fantastic levels, local producer ...
i cannot tell you how many guys were cupcaking after the last risque: "yo... what's the deal with that corrine girl? how do you know her?" 1. she's one of the most legit girls around. 2. we struck up a friendship about a year ago whilst geeking out over music. turns out she's ...

electro's answer to keith richards. my first thought when I met JJ of JJ and The Robot. he's one of the resident DJ's @ the sacramento monthly risque and a pretty chill guy. he's really easy to work with. he's super nice. he's fun. too bad it's all a ploy to beat the shit ...

i wasn't expecting big things when it took so long to sign off on the second season... but the writing and acting is still very crisp. it's easy to get boxed into a corner when you're working with such a nuanced frame of humor but redux this is not. these ...
