From Sound Bites, Posted July, 30th 2008

Friendly Fires, playing their second U.S. date (first being Saturday at Santos Party House) to a half-full Mercury Lounge crowd, knows how to translate the percussion-heavy sound of their records. Bassist Jack Savidge also manned a second drum kit; Edd......

EARTHQUAKE!

From Speed of Dark, Posted July, 30th 2008

map from the Library of CongressYesterday, we experienced an earthquake registered at 5.4 (or 5.6, or 5.8, depending on who you believe), the most jarring and longest that I've felt in a long time. Everyone I know is fine, and I don't think there were any injuries directly related to the earthquake at all. But it got me thinking about two things; first, a 5.4 earthquake in some places on the planet would equal devastation, and second...when is...

Last night :: The Faint and the sweaty, sweaty kids at the Ogden Theatre

From I am Fuel, You are Friends, Posted July, 30th 2008

Last night at The Faint was a hot show in every sense of the word. It was frenzied and frantic, all sweaty moshing all-ages and pulsing, pounding, electronic/new-wave indie rock. I needed that.All my pictures are up on Facebook, shot tentatively on my handy dandy new Canon Rebel XTi, a humblingly-tremendous early birthday present from my family. Watch out! I plan on having fun with this thing.I Disappear - The FaintCONTEST UPDATE: The new album also came out yesterday, and...

From Covert Curiosity, Posted July, 30th 2008

My mom has always said, ?If you?re going to rip off another band, rip off someone good,? and this is just what Dr. Dog has done on their most recent album, "Fate." As many of their indie-pop compañeros have in the past, they didn?t waste time ripping off U2 (sorry Coldplay, wait, no I?m not), they went straight to the top?The Beatles. Granted, they do tend to be sparser than the Beatles, leaving more space, adding a bit more drama,...

The Life and Times

From Covert Curiosity, Posted July, 30th 2008

I'm not sure if anyone at The Life and Times show at Emo's on Monday could testify to how long the concert was, or how many songs were played. Everyone seemed to be happily swimming in the textures created by the three piece Kansas City indie rock outfit.Eric Abert carefully tempered the distortion petals for his bass, Allen Epley's vocals took on a harmonious coo that wove in and out of his guitar, and drummer, Chris Metcalf formed a...

The Black Keys Work

From Headphone Sex, Posted July, 30th 2008

This year's Field Day festival is approaching, and as well as another eclectic & interesting line-up we've been assured that we will be able to piss and get pissed this year. Despite the queues I had a great time last year, and with more bars, bogs & volume it should be a gay old time.

I've got a pair of tickets to give away. To win them (and I hope I don't live to regret this), just email...
