Other Lives Interview Pt. 1: Getting To Know The Band
Preparing for this interview it occurred to us that many people still don’t know Other Lives. Sure, maybe you saw them on our Best of 2011 list, or noticed they toured with Bon Iver, or going on to tour with Radiohead (Yes, that’s right both indie’s new King, and its reigning ruler have given the band the nod of [...]

St. Vincent – Cheerleader [Official Video]
St. Vincent released earlier this month her video for “Cheerleader” off her recent album, Stranger Mercy. Exhibited in the center of a gallery, the video cuts straights to the point: Annie Clarke does not want to appear larger than life, held up for the looking gaze. Whether this is a personal reflection or not, her most recent album [...]

Deleted Scenes and A Lull at Rickshaw Stop [Photo Review]
Deleted Scenes dropped by the Rickshaw Stop, sharing the stage with A Lull and Ravenna Wood. Although the woeful 49ers loss may have kept a few extra people from braving the fifth stormy night in as many days, the group played a motivated and energetic set, much to the pleasure of the attending patrons. Fresh off of their September [...]

Caveman at Brick and Mortar [Photographs]
What a great little venue the Mission has in the Brick and Mortar Music Hall! Right under the freeway entrance on 14th near Mission, this new club evokes a decidedly New York vibe. This according to my recently-from-New York friend who came with me to the show on Sunday night, though I think she exaggerated for the sake [...]

The Weakerthans “Four & More” Tour 2011 @ The Independent [Live Review]
Billed as the “Four & More” tour, Winnipeg’s The Weakerthans set up residency at the Independent for a sold-out four-night stretch of dates, each a celebration of a different full length from their modestly-sized but venerable discography.

Real Estate at Slim’s 11/11/11
Last Friday Real Estate returned to a packed Slim’s. Two weeks after opening for Deerhunter, now headliners, the group brought a huge crowd. Considering that their latest album, Days, was released only a month ago, and that this was their second performance in two weeks–the “band to watch” label Stereogum recently gave adorn them with is undoubtedly true.

City and Colour at The Fillmore [Photographs]
City and Colour stopped by The Fillmore this past weekend, to play a show on the west-coast leg of their North American and Canadian tour. The stop wasn’t added until mid-September, but they sold out the venue with ease.

Playlist [New Mp3s] Tycho, Dirty Projectors, Major Lazer
In effort to keep up with the times, but not having the time to keep up, I’ve created a playlist backlogging some song I’ve neglected to share with you. Several albums including the new Dirty Projector & Björk, Real Estate and Tycho, have caught my ear, in addition to singles from Major Lazer, The Moor, and Saint Motel. [...]
