BLACK MOUNTAIN + Bon Iver @ La Sala Rossa

By K-Man - 02/29/2008

I have to say that when I got my tickets to this show I was all like, this should be a mellow one, considering their style; I didn't expect there to even be a lot of people. Well...there were. In fact, the place was sold right the hell out. I'm so not into a super packed atmosphere, but these guys throw down a really mellow vibe. Pretty subdued crowd -- a new pattern/disease of today’s youth I guess!


THRICE + Say Anything + Attack In Black @ Metropolis

TAKEN BY TREES @ Cabaret Juste Pour Rire

By Mike Bresciani - The Lonesome Strangers - 02/25/2008

Seems as though the indie music community is filled with confusing side projects, revolving-door musicians, and solo projects that may or may not be worth the price of admission. There’s usually a lot of excitement and intrigue that follows the new directions many of these artists seem to be taking. In this case, we have Victoria Bergsman pursuing her solo ambitions with Taken By Trees after having fronted the excellent Swedish pop group, The Concretes, for the last decade.


VHERNEN - Vhernen

By Jessica Valentine - The Incinerator - 12/29/2007

Hearing the sounds of howling wind and rainfall to introduce a black metal album is in no way unexpected. Being confronted a minute later with the growing sigh of an electric cello, however, is -- that is, unless you’ve already taken a peek at the insert art of Vhernen’s self-titled debut full-length album. I must say, the surprise is a pleasant one.
