The Pretty Black Chains — Awakening
You’d never know that The Pretty Black Chains very recently used to be a Brit-pop band.
Music
Stephen Carradini
“Awakening” is proof that their tansformation into a Led Zeppelin-style rock band was as complete as it was swift.
Piñataland — Hymns for the Dreadful Night
Beautiful arrangements, skilled players and excellent production. What more could you want?
Indie
Stephen Carradini
As a newly minted music producer, I’m now professionally invested in the way that recordings sound (which means I have even more distaste for the intentionally terrible recordings of the San Francisco garage-rock scene).
Check these 'Hot' tips
Memorize these seven facts before ‘Hot as Hell,’ cool?
Before banging your head to the music of Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Sevendust, Underoath and everybody else playing Sunday’s “Hot as Hell” festival in Tulsa, the organizers would like to share some information. We tore these tips straight from the press release:
1. “RE ENTRY WILL BE ALLOWED WITH TICKET AND WRISTBAND”
2. “MISTING TENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE”
3. “CROWD WILL BE SPRAYED OFTEN WITH WATER FROM STAGE TO COOL DOWN”
4. “NO BLANKETS, ICE CHESTS, or UMBRELLAS”
5. “STAY HYDRATED”
6. “BRING SUNSCREEN”
7. “WEAR HATS”
Enjoy the show, readers! (Sucks about your umbrella, though, Ms. Poppins!) —Rod Lott
