Nostalghia Spreads Its Wings

Chrysalis, Nostalghia’s debut is a darkly atmospheric yet ethereal album.

Music for your eyes: El Ten Eleven.

Tim Fogarty and Kristian Dunn formed El Ten Eleven  in 2002.

FUZZ is a gritty masterpiece.  This Los Angeles based band consists of Ty Segall (drums/vocals), Charlie Moothart (guitar/vocals), and Chad Ubovich (bass).  Moohart and Segall formed FUZZ in 2011 and attempted to remain anonymous.  Obviously, the cats out of the bag and FUZZ is creating quite a stir. It may have taken the band a bit to get into the … Continue reading

The video was conceived and directed by Judy Jacob (for Everything is OK), who directed and edited some of the highly-stylistic films made for Pixies’ 2009-2011 “Doolittle” world tour.  Completely different from the other Pixies music videos for this project, the provocative “Magdelena” clip stars innovative British dance/theatre/performance artist Nando Messias. “Magdelena” is the second … Continue reading
