When I first started going to see rock shows as a kid, I always made sure to get to the venue early so I could catch the opening act. Not always, but sometimes it seemed as though the band that was opening the show for whatever bigger act everyone else was there to see had […]
Madeline White Flag Orange Twin By Julia Reidy It’s unfortunate that the first comparison we’re inclined to make when it comes to female singer-songwriters is who else’s voice theirs resembles.

Next Thursday's Big Trouble In Little Five Points is sure to be a scorcher. The Greater Vavoom are sure to make you dance your ass off with their dirty electro. Tres Bien is full of hooky indie pop. And Ominous Castle will be playing fuzzy, electronic-tinged, lo-fi rock. As akways, it's a free gig, so […]

Our sister-site TA Live just put up a great review of Grupo Fantasma at Sticky Fingerz in Little Rock.

Although the small dance floor […]
