Cymbals Eat Guitars @ Siren

Cymbals Eat Guitars played the penultimate set at the Stillwell Stage (the stage that isn’t the main one, derp) on Saturday, so I was surprised that the turnout wasn’t terribly big until they were nearly done. But, on the other end, there was a couple who looked to be in their 50s with cell phone… Continue reading Cymbals Eat Guitars @ Siren

Holy Fuck @ Siren

Holy Fuck didn’t turn heads at Siren, it threw them back in ecstasy. The experimental/psychedelic/dance band is known for their often-improvised instrumental jams, and they brought everything out in their festival-closing set Saturday that seemingly took the crowd by surprise. The thousands-deep slew of people moved like nobody was watching and like they themselves couldn’t… Continue reading Holy Fuck @ Siren

Matt and Kim @ Siren

A lot of good things have been said about Matt and Kim‘s live show, and their performance at Siren isn’t going to change that. The pair’s main stage-ending set at 7:30 p.m. attracted a massive crowd, which packed the long, narrow street serving as general admission space as well as the fenced-off kiddie park stage… Continue reading Matt and Kim @ Siren

[MP3] Andy Clockwise: “The Casanova (Remember Love)”

I had never heard of Los Angeles-based Andy Clockwise before popping open the ol’ Knox Road mailbag this morning. And now that I have heard of the group, I’m better for it. For serious. See, lately I’ve been favoring songs that are all massive towers of instruments and hyper-emotional vocals, and they’re great, seriously, but… Continue reading [MP3] Andy Clockwise: “The Casanova (Remember Love)”

Hip Hatchet

It’s been a while since I’ve given you some good folk pop, hasn’t it? I mean, I recently posted about Arran Arctic’s new single, “The Door”, but he changed his direction slightly with that song so it wasn’t fully soft folk anymore. Well, here’s to hoping Hip Hatchet, out of Middlebury, Vermont, (which surprised me… Continue reading Hip Hatchet

[MP3] Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin: “Banned (By The Man)”

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin are sharing the second promo track off their forthcoming album Let It Sway, due out next month. The song is called “Banned (By The Man)”, and reinforces the effervescent pop of SSLYB, which comes at a perfect time. It’s a major breath of fresh air from all the hazy… Continue reading [MP3] Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin: “Banned (By The Man)”

[MP3] The Cascade: “Super Television”

After hearing that our good friends The Scarlet Ending will be sharing a D.C. billing with The Cascade, I naturally needed to find out more. And by more, I mean anything at all. The Cascade began early this year in D.C. and quickly turned into a FIFTEEN piece musical collective. The leader of the pack is… Continue reading [MP3] The Cascade: “Super Television”
