In the trendy East Sixth Street district, I watched Bright Light Social Hour rock the backyard of the local dive bar, Liberty. Hot, sweaty and dusty, surrounded by long beards and longer hair, I could sense right away how at home this Austin-based band was. After we loaded up with tacos at the East Side…
This was one of my favorites. Last day of South by Southwest. Exhausted. My feet fell off somewhere on Sixth Street the night before. Pretty much ready to take a nap on the sidewalk. Completely ignoring all of that, because I get to interview Cherub, and there is no way not to be pumped about…
In the wake of news that Sarah Jessica Parker has grown an extra bone in her foot from her many years of towering Manolos, sneakers have never looked better. And while, yes, I’m forever grateful for the fashion inspiration that Miss Carrie Bradshaw’s feet have provided, it’s time for me to move on. Thankfully, the…
“Not folk enough for folk and not punk enough for punk.” These are the words we’ve seen used to describe Sledding With Tigers, who just released a new album at a name-your-own-price rate on their website.

Their musical influences alone say great things for these two, but the self-described “new wave disco” music that they create is on a playing field of…
It was an unexpected delight on a hot day of SXSW to share ice cream sundae’s and brownies a la mode at Moonshine’s with the down to earth guys of Cash Cash. Though I was not surprised by their casual and comfortable nature – these three childhood best friends and two brothers, Jean Paul Makhlouf,…
This week Yuck released their new EP, Southern Skies, and they are now sharing a new video for the title track. The track and the video are both simple yet beautiful at the same time.
You may remember that we all went gaga over Luke Winslow-King‘s album The Coming Tide about a year ago. This gent is brilliant, and we still haven’t gotten over it. So, of course, we had to snag an interview with him this year at his showcase at the Bloodshot Records Yard Dog Day Party to…
