48 Hours in Austin: SXSW
Friday, March 15th 1 pm: No sign of Snoop Lion, Grumpy Cat or Shaq Onward to Disneyland for music fans, also known as South by Southwest.

Neighborhood Noise: The Photo Atlas Set to Release Album and Video
No reservation needed at a Photo Atlas concert. You can be as wild as you want to be. Like good wine, some bands just get better and better with time. Take The Photo Atlas, for example. Alan, Bill, and Mark started out as Atlas in 2004, but after a name change and the addition of...
Neighborhood Noise: Dirty Few Releases Cassette Worth Buying Cassette Player For
We’re going to destroy 2013. Every once in a while I come across a song that I just can’t get out of my head. Sometimes it’s a bad thing, like when “Call Me Maybe” came out and everyone (including the most badass of guys) was singing it, but sometimes it’s a great thing, like when...
Event Horizon: Two Fresh

This particular festival is one of over two hundred music centered events in the state of Colorado. It is also one of the most popular, showcasing...
Showdown: She Wants Revenge
Independence can be a real bitch. People need people. Record labels need bands. Bands need money and fans. Fans need music to soundtrack their romances, and without each of us doing our respective parts in the equation, it could all dissolve- threatening to leave us bogged down in a mute and culture-less mire where only...
Fashion Fridays – Coachella’s Chic Style
Last weekend was the epic music festival known as Coachella. The three day music festival in Indio, CA is just as much about the fashion as it is about the music. I love seeing what “artistic” ladies wear to the annual event and how they put looks together. It usually involves vintage, is sometimes weird...
