01.31.11Photos: Best Coast And Wavves At The ClubhouseTyler Nevitt most likely hates me. That's right, even though he's a regular contributor to the site, I have a feeling he secretly despises me behind my back. After all, I continuously sit on series of photos he sends me. In fact, I think he started his own blog to just to spite me by posting his photos when they're most relevant. How dare he!? Seriously though, this blog is a one man show and this man is often lazy or incredibly busy. With all that said, here's some awesome photos that Tyler shot at the sold out Best Coast ...

To get your anticipation up to dangerous levels, she went ahead and released the first single from the LP, called "Safari Disco Club". While that information alone would be more than enough awesome news from her camp for the day, there's much more! That's right, those of you that are skipping out on Coachella this year are in for a treat. Stateside is bringing her out to Arizona for two shows in two incredibly awesome and intimate venues. She will be at Rhythm Room on April ...

01.24.11MP3: Sleigh Bells – Tell Em (Diplo Remix)When Diplo isn't busy filming a starring role in the latest Blackberry commercial, he's making countless remixes and tracks, along with running one of the hottest labels out there. You could say the man is a tastemaker, but you'd still be underestimating him. The latest in a long line of remixes for his label Mad Decent comes in the form of a track from one of last year's most-hyped releases. You couldn't escape Sleigh Bells last year even if you wanted to. But why exactly would you? Judging by the response that "Tell Em" got at their sold out show ...

01.19.112011 Belongs To Com Truise!I'm just gonna go ahead and say that Com Truise might be the best name a producer has ever chosen. It's hilarious and makes fun of one of the biggest egomaniac, Scientologist shitbags on the planet. That's a big win in my opinion. But an even bigger win is the music that that this Princeton, NJ based producer creates. This is some beautiful, hazy, synth-loving electronic music that demands to be played as the sun is rising after you've been partying with your friends all night. This is the kind of music that memories are made to, folks. He released ...

01.19.11MP3: Braids – “Same Mum”I know it's incredibly early in the year, but I'm going to go ahead and make a bold prediction about the way this year plays out. Braids released an album called "Native Speaker" yesterday, and I promise you it's going to be near the top of countless best-of lists come December. If you have managed to avoid the hype about this Montreal-based band up to this point, you're not going to escape it for much longer. And I really don't know why you'd want to, as this band is absolutely incredible. Raphaelle Standell-Preston has the best new voice in music ...

01.19.11Scion Rock Fest Will Kick Your Face InDo you like metal, specifically of the thrash variety? Well, if you answered yes, then I know you're already drooling all over your keyboard looking at that flier up above. You can say whatever you like about Scion's persistent marketing towards the youth market, but I can't hate on anyone that continuously throws awesome fests for free. Look at that fucking lineup! I'd suggest you do what I plan on doing and get some friends together for a drive to Pomona to catch this fest. Scion also does an awesome garage-rock festival in Portland every year. I'll make sure to ...

01.18.11Starfucker Returns With A New Album, Heads To Phoenix In MarchPortland's favorite electro-pop band Starfucker just debuted the new single from their forthcoming album. What originally started as a solo project for Joshua Hodges has turned into a fully fleshed-out band and is taking the dancefloors of the world by storm. This track comes from the new album, "Reptilians," which will be released on Polyvinyl on March 8th. I got a chance to preview the album and I've gotta say that there wasn't a single track I didn't enjoy. This is one you could definitely turn up loud at a party and it would surely get the energy level up. ...

01.18.11Hooves Live At Bikini Lounge Tomorrow NightTomorrow night brings the return of live music at Bikini Lounge. It's always awesome to see how many people and gear can possibly be crammed into my neighborhood watering hole. It's especially fun as people get more and more drunk and start trying to dance around. If you've never been privy to this awesome sight, you've got another chance tomorrow night. Hooves will be coming to drop a live set in celebration of Dawn's 10 year anniversary party. That's right, she's been holding down the bar for 10 years now, so don't give her any shit on her special night! ...

01.17.11MP3: Wavves – “Mutant”Wavves isn't wasting any time in 2011! After releasing the killer album "King Of The Beach" in 2010, it appears the band will be hitting their fans off with a lot of new music this year as well. They just dropped the first track of the year. This one is called "Mutant" and should get you ready for the show on Saturday night. If you forgot, Wavves will be joined by Best Coast and No Joy for a show at The Clubhouse on Saturday night. Something tells me this one has sold out show written all over it. Tickets are ...
