    I’ve heard the Tina Sparkle. It is awesome!

  • I was hoping, but not expecting, to see Beady Eye somewhere on the list. For those unaware, Beady Eye is the new band formed by Liam Gallagher, once the frontman for the “Britpop” band Oasis. From what I understand, Beady Eye is just Oasis without Noel Gallagher. Anyway, I am 30 years old, and I only recognize about three or four of the bands you have listed here. I kind of lost touch with the current music scene for the last six years while I went underground and listened to primarily 60′s and 70′s stuff. Upon my musical return into 2011, I was disheartened to see the hatred and contempt most people seem to have for Oasis, whom I love. I don’t understand it. I even tried searching for them on this site and I got zero results. Note to IRR: update your database please. Look, for everyone who does not like Oasis, I would only ask that you open your mind and give them half a chance. Try listening to “The Masterplan”, a collection of their B-sides. Or, listen to a few songs like “Bag it Up”, “Stop the Clocks”, and “Lord Don’t Slow Me Down”. If you like classic rock, I think you will like them…at least I hope you will.

    And to those of you who already like Oasis…keep the dream alive. I’m out.

    Greenhorse @ The Satellite, 5/11

    Greenhorse’s performance at the Satellite was more than just a typical opening band on a Friday night. Sharing their home state with popular headliners Gauntlet Hair (its Wyoming), Greenhorse also recognized how monumental this moment really is: “It’s kind of exciting because when we first moved to L.A, we came to Spaceland and we were like, ‘I hope we get to play here someday.” The trio played to a dark room, each member merely lit by their own spotlight, which [...]

    Choir of Young Believers at SPOT Festival 2012

    Choir of Young Believers are a band whose music perfectly emulates their name. With an ecclesiastic, reverberant sound quite akin to that of Fleet Foxes, this seven-piece Danish band not only possess a musicality that is powerful and elating, they are also captivating live and have a stage presence that is transfixing. CYOB’s show at SPOT Festival was deep and dynamic, possessing a memorably surreal energy. Their music resonates within every cell of the body, stirring emotions that you never [...]

    Thee Attacks @ SPOT Festival 2012

    Thee Attacks were an unexpected highlight at this years SPOT festival with their seductively wild performance that shook the Voxhall stage to it’s core and stripped the walls bare until all that remained was a static sexual charge that was impossible to ignore. It was not their first time at SPOT festival, nor were they new to the stage in any way- having performed at numerous locations around the world in the last few years, including this years SXSW. Yet the [...]

    SPOT Festival 2012, Århus Denmark

    It was a Scandinavian Spring morning as I boarded the train from Copenhagen to Århus, Denmark’s smaller, quieter version of Copenhagen, and the home of SPOT festival. Being my first time at SPOT as well as my first time in Århus, my expectations were built solely on the good things I had heard through the grapevine about the two-day musical whirlwind, dedicated to showcasing emerging Danish and Nordic bands. My first thought on arrival was ‘where are all the people?’ [...]

    The Mowgli’s CD Release Party @ The Roxy

    In a word, The Mowgli’s are happy. The crowd that follows The Mowgli’s is quite a diverse one, not so surprising given their demeanor – filling The Roxy with old and young, long skirts, short shorts and even studded belts. Turns out love & happiness arent’t just reserved for flower power! The benefits of releasing an album before throwing the party are that the audience already owns, loves and knows every word so this crowd didn’t miss a beat once [...]

    Boz Boorer – Slippery Forces (video)

    If the name Boz Boorer doesn’t ring any bells, then you’re probably not alone. Quite possibly more commonly known as Morrissey’s guitarist,Boorer presents you with a tune that demonstrates that he is capable of and on his way to etching a name for himself in the indie music scene.
