Muuy Biien at Gold Flake Paint

You have to understand. It’s always tougher to justify the albums you love, the ones that shoot like endorphins straight to your head, like the first time you ever rode a loop-de-loop roller coaster, and dismounted screaming and whooping, fists pumping, beyond exuberant that living feels like this. It’s also tougher to sit back and… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Gold Flake Paint

Tunabunny at babysue

We’ve been barking about Tunabunny ever since we first heard them a while back. This Athens, Georgia band has a totally groovy and rockin’ underground sound that is instantly appealing and cool. Folks who miss the gritty harsh rock sounds of the 1990s will find a lot to love about this band. Instead of the safe and honed-to-perfection sound… Continue reading Tunabunny at babysue

Luxembourg Signal at When You Motor Away

It is excusable to not be familiar with The Luxembourg Signal, but it should interest you to know that the band brings together members of Aberdeen, Fonda and Trembling Blue Stars.  With members in London and Los Angeles, band practice may be a little tougher to arrange than is normal, but the results crafted by Johnny… Continue reading Luxembourg Signal at When You Motor Away

Tunabunny at Get It On Vinyl

Now… Continue reading Tunabunny at Get It On Vinyl

Eureka California at Losing Today

Eureka California at Austin Town Hall

I really love a track that just gives into the soul of the song, discarding all the bullshit to the side.  That’s the feeling I get when I listen to pretty much every song on the up-coming Eureka California album.  Their songs are catchy, as you’ll see below, but aside from standard song structures, the group doesn’t… Continue reading Eureka California at Austin Town Hall

Luxembourg Signal at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach

My head is usually swarming with too many disconnected thoughts towards the end of the day. Where am I really going? What am I really doing? I usually have no idea most of the time. When the final curtain comes down on the sun, I usually retreat to my rooftop, take one or two of… Continue reading Luxembourg Signal at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
