Month: October 2012

  2012 had some great summer jams (admit it, you learned every word to “Call Me Maybe”), but few were as engrossing and straight-up gorgeous as DIANA’s “Born Again.” Like M83’s “Midnight City,” it was a song that romanticized late night adventures and elevated pop music (not just indie) into something almost religious. If you […]

Glass the Sky – Koi Pawned Glass the Sky will be live on Coog Radio this Saturday, November 3rd from 1-3 PM. They’ll be taking questions and playing songs from their debut album. You can hear how the band is growing from our April 2012 GTS post that you can check out here. Glass the Sky will have their […]

  It’s a costume contest, a CD release, and a rad concert all in one night.  And the best part? IT’S FREE!  

American composer Philip Glass will be performing a new composition commissioned by The Menil Collection as part of the celebration of its 25th anniversary. The piece is the 17th of a 20 part series of solo piano compositions entitled Etudes Vol. 2, a continuation of Etudes which Glass began composing in the 1990s. Philip Glass’ work […]

Nearly four years after the stellar (and grossly underrated) Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dream, Solange is back with a new song titled “Losing You.” The Dev Hynes and Ariel Rechtshaid-produced track beautifully links a chaotic mix of samples and handclaps to Solange’s airy and bittersweet voice. While her previous album did perhaps delve too […]

“As the tropical drums kick in, an evil presence (almost demonic) enters the club, unleashing a round of gunfire that leaves no survivors. There’s even a line which declares “sus cuerpos no saldrán en tele nacional, a nadie le importa, ganamos el mundial.” Unsettling, sure. But it definitely exposes the realities (and priorities) of the […]

Once managed and promoted by the late, great Joey Ramone, The Independents are kinda like…um…kinda like if the Misfits had started later, and combined ska, rockabilly, metal, and 50s rock, all mixed together with what would sound like a re-imagining of what should be the soundtrack to horror and sci-fi B-Movies. Coming from “Murder Beach”, […]

Following the likes of Transmission Events (FunFunFun Fest), Pegstar.Net (Free Press Summerfest), and 35 Denton (Hot Wet Mess, 35 Denton Fest), Dallas’ Spune has given Texas another new independent music festival, and the concept is simple. “The new festival concept aims to showcase the best of what’s next in indie music (indie next = ind […]

 There are few people who can absolutely trance you with their talented performance. I’m not sure if I would call Dan Deacon one of those people. Dan’s absurdist performances have frightened many morning show talk hosts and probably his parents. Sometimes it’s hard for people to respect Deacon as a serious musician, but he has […]

  Earlier this year we reported on the minute teaser video for “Lonerism.” Since then, Kevin Parker and his band of aussie-psych brothers have kept busy, working the new material on the summer festival circuit, producing the new Melody’s Echo Chamber album, and releasing a analog-synthesized kaleidoscope of a music video for “Elephant.” This has […]
