Last week I mentioned Fenech-Soler as one of the standout performances I saw at SXSW. They took full advantage of their audience (as a band should) in Austin, playing many many shows. One of which was fittingly at Vice for Hype Machine’s Lose Control Party where they won over an unfamiliar late-night crowd. Minutes…
After the chaos that was SXSW you’d think we’d take a few days off to regain sanity and/or sleep? Wrong. With a line-up consisting of Bear Hands, Lissy Trullie and Holy Ghost!, Friday night at Glasslands was too good to pass up. Before the gig we had the pleasure of interviewing Bear Hands,who like…
The blog collective Strangers in Stereo launched earlier this month and kicked things off with a launch party during SXSW at Elysium with a wicked line-up.

I was introduced to Nika Roza Danilova aka Zola Jesus last year and quickly added her to my list of SXSW must-sees. Zola played one of the most unlikely settings on the lawn of the French Legation Museum for The Other Music Day Party while the sun was at…

With a scrapped solo album so close to completion and an accompanying published memoir Dirty Blonde in 2007, Courtney Love’s hard work on Nobody’s Daughter will finally see the light of day on April 27th under the moniker of her former band Hole. I won tickets off of Courtney’s website in 2007 for her ultra-rare…
I’ve been writing about Little Boots since the early days of Tastes Like Caramel, an artist who has gone from covering songs from her bedroom on YouTube to winning BBC’s Sound of 2009 Award and back around. Over a year ago I landed one of my first in-person interviews with Victoria Hasketh at the…
