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 [...]

In the Bay Area, rain in the winter just isn’t a good enough excuse not to go out. On a wet January 20th at the New Parish in Oakland, the LA-based Races opened for El Ten Eleven, with whom they’re currently on tour. The southern California sextet released their Big Broom EP in November 2011 and will [...]

Whether it be baritone, bass or something in between (I’m awful at classifying vocal ranges), I’m a sucker for a nice deep voice in rock and pop music. Here’s a brief playlist of some of my favorite molasses-mouthed singers lending their patented pipes to a series of pretty, haunting, romantic and sardonic tracks. First [...]

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 [...]

It was Saturday night after a bout of rain when a couple of friends and I strolled up to Rickshaw Stop. I was ready for my dose of feel-good rock in the form of Australian quintet, Little Red. Little Red. Photo courtesy of Tell All Your Friends PR. The group is currently touring their [...]

I recently got the chance to set up a chat with the lead singer of the fun Australian rock quintet Little Red. The group boasts success in their home country with their first EP, Listen to Little Red, meeting good national reviews upon release in June 2008. It was named album of the week on [...]

Do not expect anything funny around here, since I am the author and my sense of humor is nonexistent. My impetus for making this playlist was my friend Dale calling the Finnish love metal band HIM “the worst band in the world.” Hmmm, I would disagree. HIM has at least one good song, which is [...]

The years 1971-1973 encapsulate what many feel to be the “golden age” of prog rock. Aside from the sprawling “epics” we’ll be discussing in this article, several other progressive rock albums were released during these years and are considered by many to be hallmarks of the genre. However, despite the huge advancements in recording technology [...]

The Western world has seen the rise (and fall) of numerous upstarts in various artistic fields. One could say that the rise of Dadaism in Europe, as exemplified by that most fabulous Fountain of Marcel Duchamp, did much to open up the possibilities of expression in visual art. So too did those illuminations of the [...]
