DEERHUNTER, SAVAGES, WAY YES

42 days ago by Charity Painter

wtr 5 7 13 620x206 DEERHUNTER, SAVAGES, WAY YES

This release week finds Deerhunter trading in their atmospheric pop for straight up rock and roll, but nobody’s going to mind because it’s still the same edgy, dark, brilliant Deerhunter underneath all the fuzz and crackle. Another veteran changing it up is none other than Patty Griffin, whose new record, American Kid, is her very first solely Americana effort.

Lo-fi folk singer-songwriter, Gambles, will settle your stomach a bit after all the ruckus [READ ON]

After reading about Jack White’s (@thirdmanrecords) frustrated exit only 55 minutes into his first performance at Radio City Music Hall, I wasn’t sure what to expect from his second night at the venue. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one wondering whether he would disappoint his fans again.

I’m happy to report that he certainly didn’t leave anyone wanting more. Actually, on Sunday, Jack White reminded us who Jack White really [READ ON]

293 days ago by Cassie Newman

For a festival that tries to be all things for all people, Outside Lands comes pretty close to hitting the mark. Sure, the food is overpriced and for the most part sub-par (although Wine Lands was a very good time), and I’m not entirely sure who found the time to check out the comedy shows, but when it comes to music (which was the point after all), this [READ ON]

21 years after its inception, Lollapalooza is a festival that does almost everything right. For quite a while, it’s been in a very convenient area and had excellent line-ups, even compared with competing fests such as Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Outside Lands.

For quite a while, it’s been in a very convenient area and had excellent line-ups, even compared with competing fests such as Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Outside Lands.

Summertime is festival time, there’s no two ways about it. Music festivals, food festivals, wine festivals, art festivals; basically come up with any reason to gather a community of people outdoors and you’ve got yourself a festival.

about OUTSIDE LANDS 2012 PREVIEW

The secret to success lies in either A. being in a unique location (Govenor’s Island, Telluride CO), B. serving a unique community (Burning Man), C. having a stellar line-up (fill in the blank) or D. fusing various [READ ON]
