By Ben Grad Full gallery after the jump
By Julia Reidy; photo by Ben Grad As the floor shook steadily underfoot 50 feet back from the stage upstairs at the Masquerade, the crowd got restless. The room was filled with a seething mass of older teens and younger 20-somethings; a full hour had elapsed since Bear In Heaven’s abnormally early set concluded (much [...]
By Jhoni Jackson Most electro shows can mesmerize a crowd — repetitive beats, undulating synths and a well-choreographed supplement of strobes and lasers make it easy. But the glitch jams of the Canadian-bred duo Crystal Castles, however, can trigger more. Late last year, Ethan Kath (the beats-making half of the act) told the Independent that [...]

5GB Interview: Cosmonauts; Playing 529 Thursday, May 16
By Jhoni Jackson Orange County outfit Cosmonauts boasts a blend of chaos and comedowns in their forever-fuzzy rock ‘n’ roll repertoire. Last year’s If You Wanna Die Then I Wanna Die (Burger Records) hits both amped-up, anxious highs and droning, lost-in-lament lows with equal intensity. Nailing an energetic, raucous jam like “Motorcycle #1” is a feat in [...]
5GB Interview w/ Twin Sister; Playing TONIGHT (5/15) @ 529

They claim it will make you feel good enough to hook up with that one person you’re not supposed to hook up with. UH-OH! We caught up with the band before they hit the road [...]
