[Film]

The Ballad of Peter Lafarge/Rare Breed

The Ballad of Peter LaFarge (DVD)

review by Jim Cherry

Peter LaFarge was a proto-type for a rock star, he led a life that would be the envy of any writer. He was a rodeo cowboy, actor, playwright, folksinger, painter, manic depressive, drug user, all the things that burn in talent [...]

demo review: Poetic Poverty from Greedy Eyes

Garage Rock Lives

EP review by Rob

Poetic Poverty
Greedy Eyes
This is awesome psychedelic prog-punk that soars, just soars, from the first note of the first track! Then it slows down a bit and delivers a punkrock beat and vocals that sounds like it was recorded in a warehouse district basement or a dusty waterfront garage. [...]

The Old Horse, out August 3rd

Advance Music Review

Manuok The Old Horse

This is such an amazing album/CD. Knowing of Scott’s background as a permanent member of such huge acts as Blackheart Procession, Via Satellite, Mister Tube, as well as The Album Leaf (amazing bands) I am reminded of George Harrison striking out on his [...]

music review: Pinata Protest Plethora

Pinata Protest Plethora

This appears to be the first full length CD by this South Texas band and it is pretty rad, actually. At times it sounds like a combination of The Dropkick Murphys and a Mexican mariachi band, at other times I think I hear the elements of Klezmer [...]

by Cheff Jenn

“The Crazy Bitch Came Through”

by Krk Dominguez

I know you’re not here for a history lesson, but I’m not getting paid to entertain with a full floor show.

If you people can put a wrapper on this concept- the story will be palpable. These images were captured back in the dark ages, some 20 [...]
