It had been 15 years since Veruca Salt’s Louise Post and Nina Gordon shared a stage together, but in 2013, the band posted on social media: “for now let’s just say this: hatchets buried, axes exhumed.” The grunge alt-rockers picked up right where they had left off, along with the other two original members as…
David Gilmour swung by Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week to perform his new single (“Rattle That Lock”) and an old favorite (“Wish You Were Here”) proving that any music worth anything is truly timeless. The Pink Floyd masterpiece is over 40 years old yet still radiates an ageless, all-compassing twister of emotion and artistry.…
The Kills’ new single is out and I can’t stop/won’t stop playing it on repeat wherever I go. The garage rock/blues combo’s “Doing It To Death” serves up that incalculable cool that Alison Mosshart (also of The Dead Weather) and Jamie Hince have been boasting since 2000. Everything these guys do is effortless, redefining panache…
Blondie is one of the best bands of its time. There’s no question, no debate to be had here…this is simply FACT. (…and perhaps a bit of opinion. But, shhhhhhhh.) Founded by Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, the band was one of the true pioneers of early American new wave and punk, having been regulars…
If Chris Cornell collaborated with Nick Cave and they added a dash of Queens of the Stone Age to the mix, it’d sound like Insubordia Pt. II, the latest album from the Lost Poets, a mysterious swamp rock/blues duo from Stockholm, Sweden. Following a relocation to LA, the Poets recently opened for Tool drummer Danny…
Arrested Development, Wet Hot American Summer, Fuller House, the ladies Gilmore…Netflix has become an entertainment necromancer, reviving old favorites from the dead for the flocks of fans who just can’t seem to let go. Despite the mixed feelings circulating this peanut gallery called the Internet and the varying results produced by these revivals, I’m mostly…
Sometimes, woe is…the opener. An opening gig can be quite the enigma. On one hand, it’s a great way to get a new(ish) band in front of hundreds or thousands of new fans on (mostly) somebody else’s dime, however, the cons can be annoyingly long withstanding: half-empty crowds, ambivalent audiences, extremely early set times. Being…
One probably wouldn’t think that a movie titled Sausage Party is actually a cute looking cartoon. But don’t you worry – it’s still as demented and twisted as that other “sausage party” you were thinking about, pervert. Welcome to Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg’s new animated, DEFINITELY not kid-friendly feature film! Rogan and Goldberg — who…
Punk doesn’t have to concede to its stereotype. As with most walks of life, it’s the attitude that counts. Teri Gender Bender, lead vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist for Le Butcherettes, is the epitome of what a leader of a punk movement should be, and that ferocity was on high display last week at Cafe Nine…
Last night’s Survivor was the scariest moment I’ve ever seen on reality TV…and Lord knows I’ve seen way more of it than I’d like to ever admit publicly! But shit got real last night when a brutal challenge led to three cast members passing out from heat stroke, heat exhaustion and dehydration. As a result,…
