Kasabian
I’m not what you would call a lover of their music, however, Kasabian has a free download of their single, Vlad, the Impaler. Now to the real reason I’m posting this, their video for the single has all the makings of a great 70’s B movie. You can download the single here. Kasabian – Vlad…
Little Boots ::: Fader Fort ::: SXSW 2009
Upon first listen of Little Boots, I became instantly smitten by her sounds and demeanor. I watched her video of Stuck on Repeat in my small office cubicle over a dozen times. Her smashing performance the first night of SXSW was a resounding success , culminated with a Giorgio Moroder cover that would eventually set…
Micachu and the Shapes ::: Fader Fort ::: SXSW 2009
It was one of those moments where you walk into a venue and you already can feel a good vibe being put on a by an unknown band. I rushed the stage with wreckless abandon to find the stage filled with three girls that looked like the escaped the island from Lord of the Flies….

These United States ::: Hillbilly Prom @ Hi-Dive ::: 03.27.09
After many missed opportunities, I have finally gotten a chance to see one of DC’s best! The group plays like a rollicking bar band without the abrasive chicken wire for protection. The guys played to a hillbilly crazed crowed and the stage was smaller than the band. It contained them a bit, but the guys…
The Lurleens (a.k.a. The Hollyfelds) ::: Hillbilly Prom @ Hi-Dive ::: 03.27.09
He-Haw came alive Friday night in the form of the Hollyfelds. The Denver group have taken the last name of one of the characters from one of my favorite 80’s movies, Real Genius. The weird creepy guy named Lazlo Hollyfeld. He lived in the dorm closet of the main character and came in and out…
