Today is the 7th day in a row in March that it’s been over 80 degrees. Just broke the record that was set in 1907. Wow, it is officially Spring.

Jake and Jamin Orrall are the sons of successful producer/singer/songwriter Robert Ellis Orrall and grew up surrounded by [...]
By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn You ever just wake up and feel like all you way to do is get in trouble? Or at least spend the whole day telling everyone around you just exactly how you feel about them? Today is one of those days for me, but hopefully you will spend your frustration at [...]

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn I’m not sure what it is, but I really do like Tuesdays. I am not sure if maybe it is because that was always Music Day in the Catholic elementary school I went or not, but I sure do think Tuesdays can sometimes get a bad wrap. So let’s show Tuesday [...]

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Happy Hump Day Everyone!

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 [...]

Twin Sister trade in a brand of dreamy pop that’s equal parts Galaxie 500, Tusk-era Fleetwood Mac, and Lynchian weirdness. 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 [...]
