People Under The Stairs, Neumos, 9/12
Written By: Josh Aubin Hip-hop has been evolving quickly over the years. The beats, the icons, the matter at hand; it’s all been changing right before our eyes in such subtle ways it can get hard to notice until you step back and look at the grand scheme of it all. And where are the People Under The Stairs in all of this? Right at their roots where they want to be. It’s been a long road for Thes One and Double K, r...

Bumbershoot Picks for Sunday
Written By Dan Paris So, you’re going to Day Two of Bumbershoot. I’m assuming you are going all three days, because you love your city that much and you love this 40-yr-old tradition (aren’t you sweet.) So when are you going to show up? In other words, what time can you make it out of bed today? I say you can make it there by 1:15 to catch either Sweet Water or Horse Feathers. The former is a little louder, so ...

Bumbershoot Picks for Saturday
Written By: Josh Aubin Saturday is the kickoff of Bumbershoot, and it looks like it will be in a simple word, amazing. If anything, get ready for a sensory overload or a breakdown because there’s just too much happening. If you can wake up early enough, head to the Broad Street Stage at 12:30 for The Submarines, a fun-songwriting duo from LA. After that make it to the State Farm stage for The Constellations at ...

Seattlites! The shoot is coming up fast and you haven’t even bought your tickets yet! Well most of you haven’t… The rest of you, well you are just shining examples of how organized we should all try to be (I bet you never miss an email, or lose your keys, or forget to call someone back; I hate you.) Anyway, this year has a great lineup! Bob Dylan is headlining Saturday! The man himself! Oh I bet the hippies no...

The Tallest Man On Earth, Neumos, 9/9/10
Written By: Josh Aubin How tall is the Tallest Man on Earth? 5’7”, so just about my height.

His album came out with much critical acclaim and has been garnering him much popularity (as well as his touring with acts such as Bon Iver.) This time around, Kri...

We Are Scientists Interview
Chris Cain and Keith Murray had the glorious chance to sit down with us just prior to their July 28th show at Neumos. These guys were a lot of fun. If you've seen them before, you know about their unfettered persiflage, and they did not dissapoint in this interview. Here are some pics from the show as well... Oh, and a special thanks to the guys for taking the time for us, too.

A Musical Journey

about 3 weeks ago - No comments

Written by @KenoComberbun

I’ve always been attracted to music with some sort of soul or music that can bring out emotion. For awhile I only listened to what MTV told me to listen to. Anyone watching MTV these days knows that it’s nothing but a network of 16 year old pregnant girls and pink polo wearing reality “stars” who hang around short girls that “look like a corgi who’d been dipped in sulfuric acid and then bronzed in atomic tangerine” …… Read on

The XX @ CMJ

about 10 months ago - No comments

I had all but given up hope of seeing one of the CMJ marathon’s most highly buzzed bands. Seeing that the venue was full, I walked away from Williamsburg Music Hall, the faint sound sound of The XX opening for School of Seven Bells fading into the background. Just as their songs begin with melodramatic minimalism and suddenly explode into excited exuberance, however, my spirits were lifted when I received a text, inviting me to an after party with the… Read on
