I don’t usually listen to indie pop/rock, but Bear in Heaven‘s output is that perfect nugget that can fulfill all my feeble needs for that sort of music. Fortunately, the Brooklyn band comes to San Francisco often. The Independent show on April 8 was a special one–the guys premiered songs from their brand new album [...]

This week San Francisco gets a double dose of New York’s Cults. On April 4th Cults will headline the Great American Music Hall, and then take over Slim’s the following night on April 5th. The indie-rockers mainly consist of Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin, but expand to a five-piece band for live shows. Cults first [...]

American-born, Paris-based Saul Williams is a multitasking artist: he writes and performs poetry, acts in films, and makes music. On March 10th he presented his fourth album, Volcanic Sunlight, at Slim’s in San Francisco. Amping up the crowd before the main act was CX Kidtronik, a member of Saul’s touring band as well as the [...]

![Los Campesinos! Rock the Great American Music Hall [Review]](http://blog.eventseekr.com/wp-content/themes/flashnews/functions/thumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/2012/02/309-5-e1329352031912.jpg&w=75&h=75&zc=1&q=90)
The most fascinating characteristic about Los Campesinos! has got to be the fact that everything about the band feels very personable. From the outside looking in, it feels like with seven members, the band stops being just a band, and more like a family. I mean, sure, all members refer their surname as being Campesinos!, [...]

On Thursday, February 2nd, the 552 party revelers who RSVP’d for the Noise Pop Pop-Up Shop Opening Party showed up at the Bold Italic‘s headquarters. Naturally, this little get-down served as a celebration to kick off the 20th anniversary of the annual Noise-Pop music festival, which officially runs from February 21st through 26th. From the [...]

2011 was ridiculously big on good new music. We live in exciting times, ladies and gentlemen. To those who claim that all great music was produced in the past, I want to say–which planet do you live on? The current state of music is actually one of the few things we 21st-century humans should be [...]

Back in October, I wrote a review for indie, dance-rock band Reptar‘s second consecutive show at the Fillmore with Foster the People. After that show, I had the chance to chat with a few of the members outside the venue, and they were kind enough to offer me contact information so that we could set up an [...]

New York’s indie electro pop band Phantogram made a strong impression on the festival scene this summer. This year, the band played at San Francisco’s Outside Lands and the hugely popular Coachella Valley Music Festival in Indio, officially making a name for itself in the increasingly recognized electro-infused indie rock music genre. I had the [...]

The stage at The Independent last Friday night was marked with the word “Portamento,” spelled out in white light bulbs, separated in half by a large draped flag with “The Drums” emblem on it in the middle. I was standing pinned to the stage with a good friend who attends live music shows less frequently [...]

Australian duo HTRK‘s new album WORK (work, work) is a strange and curious beast. It is a pop record, in that the songs are really songs (some are even hummable), and the themes revolve around the quintessential pop subject matter: feelings. But, the feelings described on this album are far more uncomfortable and complex than [...]
