Les Savy Fav – Live @ Echoplex 5-9-10
Les Savy Fav have been very clear over the years that they consider their live shows and recorded material completely separate creatures. Right now Les Savy Fav is back in the studio, which is reasonably big news for a band that has only released two albums in the last decade...
The Antlers @ The Casbah 4-28-10 – Photos
The Antlers‘ latest release, Hospice was #6 on our Pinpoint Music 2009 Best of List. The Casbah is the perfect place for The Antlers brand of rock, it’s dark, romantic, and very artsy. For a three-piece band The Antlers put out a very thick sound. Yet that sound is never...
The Hate My Day Jobs @ The National Underground

Cokie The Clown – SXSW 2010 – Fat Mike
Fat Mike’s ‘Cokie the Clown’ set at South By Southwest 2010 was graphic in nature. The stories Mike told and the things he did at Emo’s Annex during SXSW left me shaking afterward. Damian Abraham, lead singer of the band Fucked Up, later described this Cokie set as the most...
