This manly barrage of sonic destruction is what I was expecting from Pelican’s last full-length ‘What We All Come To Need’, it’s taken the band a few extra years, but have they ever let the hounds loose on this track. Can’t wait to hear their new 4-song EP Ataraxia/Taraxis, hopefully it continues with the swamp-rock indie/metal feel on display here.
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 [...]

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.
