Dan Deacon @ Urban Lounge 05.10 with Prince Rama, Ben...
What a weird night. I joined a cult (under the name Kanye’s Pet—my DJ name) that worships a bottle of soap and watched a girl make out with a picture of a Nascar driver onstage. … read more

Kevin Seconds @ Raunch Records 05.09 with Greg Bennick, Regan...
I continued through the poster-covered hallway and turned the corner to see Marky Terror sporting his Gretsch Hollow Body electric guitar, while him and everyone in the shop were mouthing the lyrics, “Just because you’re better than me doesn’t mean I’m lazy. Just because you’re going forward doesn’t mean I’m going backward.” … read more

A Brief History of Melancholy Book Release @ The Rose...

Koala Temple @ Urban Lounge 04.27 with LA Font, Shark?,...
Monday, April 24 was “Haight-Ashbury” night at The Urban Lounge, as every band performing that evening either contained an element of psychedelia and surf-rock, or overall had a feel that would make you think you were hearing a garage band playing from somewhere in that area during the 1960s. … read more
