Animal Collective @ Phoenix Theater, Petaluma, CA 4/11/11
I was one of the lucky ones to attend the Animal Collective tour opener last night in Petaluma, just a quick hour drive north after a day spent out in the sun with friends. I've been pretty amped on the band since their work on Merriweather Post Pavilion and... more

Tom Hamilton & American Babies: New Album, Video, Spring Tour Dates
Although Tom Hamilton is best known as the lead singer, guitarist, and laptop guru for electronic-rock band Brothers Past, he's also got a burgeoning--and in my opinion underrated--side-project called American Babies. With the Babies, Tommy sets aside his array of electronics and effects pedals to focus on a kind of... more

Review: Steve Kimock & Friends @ Sullivan Hall, NYC, 3/30/11
Last week, I posted about Steve Kimock's Wednesday-night NYC residency at Sullivan Hall, and as promised, I was able to hit the second show of the residency this week. Steve's crew for week two featured Marco Benevento on keys and circuit-bending toys, Marc Friedman on bass, and Adam Deitch manning... more
