En 2010 todavía no vivía en el D.F., pero trataba de viajar para asistir a los conciertos de las bandas que me emocionaba ver en vivo. Cuando publicaron el cartel del Indie-O Fest 2010, con Deerhunter de headliners, Little Dragon, Marnie Stern, Bam Bam, Los Amparito y Corazón Attack, gastar 2 mil o 3 mil pesos en el concierto nunca pasó por mi cabeza. Y luego, una o dos semanas antes del evento, anunciaron a The Big Pink y no tuve más remedio que correr a pedirle permiso a mi mamá para que me dejara ir a verlos a "México" (así [...]
Somehow the kids dig prog rock. I'm not quiete sure how you get to Captain Beefheart from what it is today as a truly misunderstood and wide genre of music. Prog rock used to be a dirty hippie word until the math geeks slowly adopted copious notes and the notion that it's ok to mix your metal with your jazz. Mostly though it's just a "Other" category. Now it's cool. Not sure how the leap happended but it did. Somewhere in the basement stax is the vinyl for Songs for the Terrestrially Challenged (1995) LP [...]
We at MetalSucks have dealt with the paradoxes involved with conducting a poll to determine great guitar players (read our 25 Best Modern Metal Guitarists poll here)! So we get that in a unweighted vote, the top-ranked axemen may just represent those liked by the largest number of voters; i.e. a dude who we agree is [...]
Your Sunday selections: ► San Diego-based Steve Poltz , the wildly entertaining singer-songwriter-satirist who rose from coffeehouse phenom to collaborate with Jewel and become known for sing-alongs, headlines this month's edition of the Sunday Night Jones at the Satellite. The evening also features Billy Harvey , the hosts Daniel Ahearn & the Jones and a post-headliner songwriter circle in the Satellite's back room. ► Guitar whiz Marnie Stern (pictured) visits the Bootleg Theater, supported by Dunes, Wet & Reckless and Cinderella Motel. ► The Chapin Sisters bring their [...]
This mixtape features the best music I've discovered all week. Or at least according to my shitty taste in music.

When guitarist Marnie Stern and her backing band first began playing last night at The Barbary, it took a second to realize that the show had actually started. Stern, along with her accompanying bassist and drummer, went straight from sound check into performance with zero warning. The venue was an unexpected change from First Unitarian Church (where the show was originally slated to be held), and—though Stern played her acutely detailed two-handed guitar riffs with a placid, eased expression—it was hard to shake the night's overall rushed, disoriented feeling, which was likely the result of the last-minute venue switch. [...]

Female guitar badass Marnie Stern hasn't released any new material since her self-titled LP in October of last year. Though she's touring with no new album to promote, her visits across the US are being commemorated with entries in her self-penned blog, The Vagina Monoblog . Perhaps a blog doesn't seem as exciting a tour ritual as the short-lived kissing booth she set up after a couple shows in 2008 to raise money for a speeding ticket, but the blog does offer a look into the refreshingly low-key lifestyle she and her band maintains while traveling. For someone with [...]
Tonight the Red Palace brings us two excellent acts in two femme fatales known for their live shows: Marnie Stern and No Joy . The former is a highly technical, hyperactive rocker who shreds like the gods. The latter are two face-in-their hair type of grunge rockers who would fit snugly beside some of the classics like the Black Angels, Dandy Warhols or even early Sonic Youth. One should expect the two groups to present their noise pop in very different ways: to be lulled into a drone-like trance by No Joy, just before having your face [...]

Tweet Montreal noise-pop-rockers No Joy are still touring their debut album"Ghost Blonde" that was released in November last year, and on this leg of the tour they're not only jaunting it with Marnie Stern but are releasing a split tour 73 vinyl too. The vinyl will only be available at shows as well as few that'll be for sale at Rough Trade shops and consists of Marnie Stern doing "Your Kids Are Going To Love This" and No Joy covering The Shangri-Las's [...]
Guitar World interviews singer-songwriter Marnie Stern . What advice would you give to girls picking up the guitar? I had been wanting to give guitar lessons to girls because I feel like women tend to use their voice as the starting point for a song and learn a few chords, and then it ends there because then they just use their voice to flesh out a song. I think you should look at the guitar differently instead of just something to help the voice. It's its own amazing crazy thing [...]

MTV isn't the only '80s rock relic turning 30. Released 7/31/81 (a day before the network's launch) on Journey's seventh studio album Escape , "Don't Stop Believin'" would inexplicably go on to be one of the biggest songs of the digital era. A life-affirming arena anthem with an indelible keyboard hook, the top ten hit only became a pop culture behemoth and indie-rock touchstone in the past five years. Read More...
Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the release of the new freely downloadable single ' Surry Hills ' by Perth-based multi-instrumental pop sextet Apricot Rail . The single follows on from their highly praised self-titled debut album of 2009. "Imagine the ethereal pop of early Múm, the whimsy of Sigur Rós' more optimistic moments, and (occasionally) the emotional edge of The Twilight Sad. This is consummate indie post-rock laced with Australiana, and well worth checking out. " - Rave Magazine [...]

How did you celebrate July 4th? On a rooftop BBQ listening to our summer mix ? Maybe you stayed in and watched old episodes of Hoarders on Roku? Maybe I stayed in and did that. There is no way to know. But all across this great country we do know there were fireworks to be seen and Beyonce to be heard singing "God Bless America" live on TV. Via the magic of Twitter we also know some of our favorite musicians spent the day overeating, overdrinking, watching Independence Day , and in two cases, [...]
