By Jhoni Jackson Brisbane, Australia’s Slug Guts are a little frightening. The band’s third and latest LP, Playin’ in Time with the Deadbeat on Sacred Bones Records, is dark in spirit, a post-punk jaunt in the glorification of the grotesque. Freakish sax accents drums that echo as if recorded in a dungeon, and singer James Dalgleish—or […]
By Scott Roberts What started out as an outlet to ignite his slightly dwindling musical spark, Matt Brown, singer/songwriter with Atlanta-based nineties pop faves Uncle Green, decided to create a group on Facebook called Theme Music. The idea was to invite like-minded musicians to join and post videos of themselves performing songs based on a […]

It’s my newly “professional” opinion that two nights in a row at the Tabernacle is not a bad thing. With Animal Collective on Sunday and then Metric on Monday, the venue was able to feed my hunger for two completely separate genres of great music. Openers, Half Moon Run entered the Tabernacle for their performance […]
I must admit I am not a fan of country music, which for those who know me, is ironic because some of my dearest friends are very tightly wound within that world. Unless it involves what I like to call “the Elders,” including the usuals Cash, Waylon, Loretta, Willie, Hank, I just cannot stomach the […]
By Al Kaufman Usually when an artist’s new album is heralded as “her most mature work to date,” it should be taken as a warning sign. Warning: this album is slow and boring. Blues mama Michelle Malone has just issued her 11th album, Day 2. It is easily her most mature album to date, and […]

Saturday marked the third and final day of the first ever Counter.Point. It’s my personal opinion that they saved the best for last. Some of my local favorites Cousin Dan and Reptar played early in the day, then Skrillex and Pretty Lights closed the party out with remarkable acts in-between. Cousin Dan never disappoints and […]

Day two of Counter.Point started a bit rough. With the weather being somewhat hurricane-esq, a few sets were cancelled due to the entire festival needing to be evacuated. Regardless of the chaotic clouds that were looming over the farm grounds, the amazingly fresh new festival began again around 4:30 with a super fun set […]
Up until the release of “Merriweather Post Pavilion,” Animal Collective would seriously weird me out. Because of their insanely popular “My Girls,” I decided to give them another chance. Suddenly everything changed, maybe I became a little bit more open to their insanely experimental and psychedelic sound, or something else I can’t quite explain, but […]
