Kurt Vile is that rare artist who is so confident and focused that he consistently puts out great albums by simply sticking to his knitting. His voice and guitar are unmistakably identifiable yet each new album sounds unique and fresh. His latest album, Walkin on a Pretty Daze , is no exception. Kurt and his band, the Violators, play a sold out show at Lincoln Hall Tuesday night. Steve Gunn opens.

Poster for GOAT's First US Tour BY PETER LILLIS Korpilombolo, Sweden is a remote "locality" in northern Sweden. With approximately 530 residents, Korpilombolo recently gained notoriety for being home to the mysterious GOAT, a fast rising and fantastic psychedelic rock band with a penchant for tribal drums, blues-drone freakouts and voodoo-like masks. Wrapping up their first US tour, GOAT played sold-out shows at some of our top venues, including The Music Hall of Williamsburg, Austin Psych Fest and the Empty Bottle. We were fortunate enough to catch their Chicago date, [...]

CHAPPO + Nevada Color + Chupacabra 6119 Penn / 05.06 / 9:00 / $10 Words by Brendan Last time of Montreal came to town, I had to go. They're one of my favorite all-time bands, so I wasn't going to miss that. I met some friends there early on to catch the first opener, when the place still wasn't packed. Not having any expectations, I was kinda blown away by the energy of CHAPPO . [...]

We went to Chicago last weekend for C2E2, and as I do in every city we visit, I hit up a bunch of record stores. And as I do every time I visit a record store in a different city, I asked for the hook-up on the best band I've probably not heard of back home. The dude at Reckless in Wicker Park suggested Disappears , saying that they were "probably the best live band in Chicago right now." I'm currently spinning their first LP, Lux (out on [...]

Yesterday was easily the most beautiful day we've had in Minneapolis this year. So, why not bike to the Cloud Cult CD Release Show at First Ave ? The band would have wanted me to enjoy the weather and protect the earth. I mean that. Craig Minowa and the rest of his earth-loving, big-hearted cohorts always seem so appreciative and modest that I wouldn't be surprised if they cared about each member of the audience individually. With a full house, Cloud Cult officially introduced us to the live experience that is Love . A [...]

The Central Social Aid & Pleasure Club , a beacon for live music west of the 405, will be closing in June, and the new ownership of the Santa Monica nightspot is expected to remodel the room and make it a lounge, multiple sources say. At the location of the former 14 Below, the Central SAPC made its mark in the rock, hip-hop and electronic worlds, hosting Tuesday night indie residencies and welcoming artists such as Skrillex, ?uestlove, Javelin, Penguin Prison and myriad others to its cozy room and offering shows precious few Westside L.A. venues could [...]
