Inu Monster [EP] Self-Released [2010] Fire Drill Review: Inu is the new project from San Francisco-based remixer/ producer, Count (Radiohead, New Order, DJ Shadow) and features Zoe Keating (Imogen Heap, Dresden Dolls) and Tim Hingston (Nyles Lannon). The band has a nice mix of electronic-rock that has an ever building mid-tempo pace, which creates an excitement within each [...]
Country, country blues and country rock For those who know Skip Heller from his jazz, lounge and exotica music, this Americana outing come as something of a surprise. His pedigree reaches back to mid-90s work with Les Baxter, Robert Drasnin and Yma Sumac, and a string of organ-centric albums that includes the trio's two previous outings, Along the Anchorline and Mean Things Happen in This Land , jazz titles like Fakebook , and the exotica [...]
Country and rockabilly twang ala Wanda, Merle and Rosie The Missouri-born Mandy Marie Luke is a country music triple thread: singer, songwriter and ace electric guitarist. Her vocal sass will remind you of Wanda Jackson's rockabilly sides and her picking will remind you of the Buckaroos' Don Rich, Merle Haggard's Roy Nichols and current Telecaster-ace, Bill Kirchen. The combination of singing and picking matches up with another Jackson acolyte, Rosie Flores, and the retro honky-tonk rock and swing brings to mind Dee Lannon. Luke's debut features ten originals and covers of Jimmie Rodgers' "Mule [...]
My InBox made my day... absolutely love this mix of music styles. It's what I'd do if I could Do . I hope this is not a marketing joke: "Inu is the new band from Count [DJ Shadow, New Order, Radiohead, Halou], Tim Hingston [Nyles Lannon], and Zoe Keating [Imogen Heap, Rasputina]" That's a list of major talent. The music has me quite excited! Check it all out at: http://www.inumusic.com/ As of this post, you can get the track "The Bailing" if you supply the usual info. I've found that signing-up for such things [...]
One of the best things to come out of the expansion of the monthly RUMBLE parties is the discovery of each city's rising talents. Of all the towns we've set up shop in, which has just hit seven a month, the one I had regarded as the least promising in terms of talented acts, has jumped to the front surprisingly. Right now, the hottest music city NOT called Brooklyn is San Diego, California. [...]

Silian Rail at this year's Rock Make Street Festival , August 24, 2008 If you've been following my radio show playlists over the last couple months, you'll have noticed that I've been playing one band pretty consistently: SF locals Silian Rail . First KZSU had their Spring Tour EP on our new file and then their new album And I You, to Pieces came through. I've been listening to and really enjoying both of these records. Silian Rail's music falls in between a number [...]
"OK, so I alluded to it , but Sunset and Grouper , two freed picks are heading up this mix, along with his other favorite, N.Lannon , side project of Nyles Lannon of Film School fame. I'm just going crazy for this War On Drugs album, and 'Pushing Corn,' the one b-side they left off the album is just as good as anything they included. If you haven't picked yet picked up Wagonwheel Blues , I don't know what I can do for you. The whole album is full of [...]

Natalie Walker Young Natalie Walker's story plays out like an afterschool special. She was raised in Indiana by a God-fearing family and broke free like a songbird to start her onstage career, with thanks to the sad ballads of Beth Orton, freakish croons of Beth Gibbons, and self-critical melodies of Fiona Apple.
