Photography by Nate Cover It's not even contestable: 2012 belonged to Mr.  Kendrick Lamar . Between topping many year-end lists with good kid, m.A.A.d. city  and playing almost every coming summer festival imaginable, it's almost impossible not to have the young rapper on your radar. Hip-hop shows are tough, as it takes a lot for one to really stand out. I can honestly say that while having seen many hip-hop shows in my day, I can sadly count the number of great performances on one hand (with three of [...]

Photography by Nate Cover The  Sweetlife Festival 's 2013 lineup may have been the most fitting lineup for this summer, with some of our favorite up-and-comers along with the people responsible for some of this and last year's biggest releases. The only thing fishy about the lineup is the  Yeah Yeah Yeahs somewhat low placement, unexpectedly underneath Kendrick Lamar and  Passion Pit . Regardless of their somewhat low-placement, these Brooklynites had one of the largest and most enthusiastic [...]

Photo by Alan. According2g is 4 My, how time flies. 4 years ago on this day, I launched According2g.com.  At the time, I had no idea where the path would lead, but I just put one foot in front of the other, took out my camera, snapped some photos and started writing - 7 days a week! Flash forward 4 years later and because of this blog, I am now friends or friendly with so many of my heroes.  I've had the [...]

Had a blast at this years Sacramento Mid Century Modern home tour put on by SacMod . Here are some photos (in no particular order) from the tour. Special thanks to Gretchen for all the hard work she put in to this years event, it was a real treat.

Photos and words by Sam Saturday What better remedy could there be for a shitty week than a show filled with fizzy pop tunes performed by adorable dudes styled in gold sequined blazers? Amid glowing lanterns and a giant orb (transformed by projections into an all-seeing eye ball, a girl bobbing her head along with the music, and various animations) Detroit's Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. enlightened the El Rey on Thursday in support of its Patterns EP. Daniel Zott and Joshua Epstein had bodies swaying right from the start, especially with new single “If [...]

Photos and words by Debi Del Grande Devendra Banhart kept us guessing at The Fonda on what he would play and how he would play it. With his comrades of mystery (including drummer Fab Moretti of The Strokes and opener Brazilian Rodrigo Amarante), the Latin-infused folk set had couples embracing and drinks flowing. A nice surprise came when drummer Gregory Rogove sat in and Banhart turned and grinned. His latest Mala was brought to the table and and we all stayed for dessert. [...]

On their Facebook, London's Lovelife describe themselves as a "pop band". But after meeting the band and watching them play live, it's safe to say that Lovelife are a passionate and infectious pop band. The last time AMBY spoke with Lovelife was back in October. The band were set to release their very first EP El Regreso , and now they are soon releasing their third EP Stateless . It's kind of crazy how fast time flies! Back in October, I mentioned to Lovelife's Lee Newell how we really hope they play a gig in Toronto [...]

Photo by G. Michael Musto Long before I moved to New York 7 years ago, I would always try and get my hands on a copy of the Village Voice, the legendary weekly paper detailing the must see activities in New York.  Once I arrived in Manhattan, the Voice became my Bible for finding out what is happening in the city.  If there was one part of the Voice that I never missed reading, it was Michael Musto's "La Dolce Musto" column, which was filled with [...]

Photo by G. Nick Allbrook In a statement on Tame Impala's Facebook page, they announced that keyboardist and bassist Nick Allbrook has left the band.  Nick is also the lead singer of Pond, but there is no comment on whether he has left Tame Impala to focus on Pond full time or not.  Allbrook will be replaced by Cam Avery.  Good luck to Nick, who I've seen as both a member of Pond and Tame Impala many times.

Photos and words by Debi Del Grande "Paint me, don't rape me." You had to be there. Animal Impulses indeed. There is no show like an IAMX show. While Chris Corner could very well stand still on stage and sing with that beautiful voice of his, he is a master of mixing visual art with his music, creating a lush and dark atmosphere where we can all escape and play. The festivities were held at The Fonda where adoring fans dressed in dark cabaretish style clothing. Faces were painted and love [...]

Last night, Yo La Tengo performed at Portland's Wonder Ballroom. The trio did two sets, including one acoustic. Check out our photos of the show shot by Colin McLaughlin .

Photo by Enrique Iglesias' friend. Enrique Iglesias and Geoffrey Dicker Let me first say that I will probably never wash my shoulder again!  Ha.  I've always thought Enrique Iglesias was really handsome, but in person, I will not lie when I say that my knees got weak!  I met Enrique recently as he performed a secret show in Manhattan.  Despite lots of girls (and a few gays) wanting a piece of the man, he did his best to accommodate everyone and we love when that happens.  [...]

Photography by Nate Cover Ever since they dropped "Hurricane"  about a year ago,  MS MR has been skyrocketing in hype, all while remaining in anonymity for the first few months of their existence. And after revealing that the male/female duo responsible for one of the most unique sounds these days is none other than  Lizzy Plapinger of  Neon Gold Records and  Max Hershenow , they have only continued to skyrocket into the blogosphere. Although there debut record,  Secondhand Rapture   via Columbia [...]
