At Aimless Skylarking, we’re not terribly concerned with traffic numbers.

Pinkshinyultrablast at Austin Town Hall
Band names are often weird, but sometimes they’re really out there. Oddly enough, Pinkshinyultrablast is a name that somehow fits this power-shoegaze group from St. Petersburg, whose sound is a mix of airy dream and heavy noise pop.
