Honyock has been recording since March and is looking forward to sharing songs that they’ve been dedicated to “tightening up.” The Sacramento band members of Honyock have been making music for … Continue reading

The Blue Lamp was a packed house last Friday as TUBE. presented our version of The Circus. Both visual and performing artists strutted their stuff throughout the night.

White Lies struck Oakland on Wednesday on tour for their latest album Big TV. The band’s dark, hypnotic tones mesmerized the crowd at popular venue The New Parish. Fans flocked in from all over California and fought their way to the packed front rows. White Lies played a solid set, incorporating well-known and well-loved songs … Continue reading
One of the best and worst things about being close to San Francisco is that the concert you’re going to tends to be either the first of last of a tour. And so, it makes reviewing shows difficult when faced with the latter. Sunday at the Fillmore is an example of a great end to … Continue reading
White Lies are a British post-punk band, featuring smooth, dark melodies and accents made for swooning over. The group has a talent for creating imagery with music, sweeping the listener out into space with one piece and deep into his or her own mind in the next. White Lies’ brooding, hypnotic tones are perfect for … Continue reading
It was one hell of a show! Here is a little visual recap of the evening. And make sure to check out our interview with Sad Numbers. Continue reading
Brent Fiasco grew up a regular and suburban child. It’s hard to remember that as he lies on the floor, his face in a small pile of glass, a nervous volunteer standing on his head. He didn’t officially get into “variety entertainment” until high school when he learned to juggle while riding a unicycle, but … Continue reading
Tim Fogarty and Kristian Dunn formed El Ten Eleven in 2002. We caught the twosome last week at Harlows in Sacramento, CA. El Ten Eleven’s genre is not one that you can place easily into a category. They have been described as math rock, ambient, jammy, post-rock, and everything in-between. Needless to say they were pretty amazing. The two come fully supplied … Continue reading
The Pixies are one of the most influential bands to have come out in the last 30 years. Black (Charles) Francis (vocals/guitar), David Lovering (drums), Joey Santiago (guitar), and Kim Deal (vocals/bass) formed the band in 1986 and the music scene has never quite been the same since. The now overused term “indie rock” sprouted from … Continue reading
The sad face emoticon used by Sad Numbers may seem like just another elusive aspect to the hard-to-define-yet-easy-to-enjoy band, but it actually speaks volumes about their music. Whether you catch that sad smiley on one of the CDs handmade by Josh Berkley (but painted à la DIY chic by his young daughter), or online when … Continue reading
The Croissants, The Strange Party, RAD, Crude Studs and The Moans played Luigis Fungarden February 28th. It was a packed house! Photos compliments of Heather Uroff Continue reading
Remember that dreamy song that plays when two lovers lock eyes in a hazy scene of passion during an 80s movie? Well chances are, whatever that song may be, it would sound a lot like Cruel Summer’s music. Their sound is for the pastel colored, VHS spinning, old school heart inside of all of us, … Continue reading
The thing about house shows is, the start time is irrelevant, a guesstimate at best. Saturday night’s show at the Chillanova House in Davis was a prime example. The concert was advertised to start at eight. Sitting on one of the cushy couches in the living room at two minutes past the hour gave one … Continue reading
My experience with this concert started at five in the afternoon, when I arrived in Oakland to begin the long wait for a decent place in the pit. As usual, there were good and bad people waiting in line with me, and I even got to know a little bit about the couple immediately ahead … Continue reading
Stay tuned to hear what David Lovering had to say when we caught up with him and for photos from the show at the Fox Theater tonight in Oakland. Until then, enjoy at little Blue Eyed Hexe. Continue reading
We caught Lauren Cole Norton, The Lower 48 and Miss Maddy’s F Street Stompers at the Fox and Goose. Photos Melissa Uroff and Naomi Lucchesi Continue reading
Brooklyn based indie pop band Lucius have been selling out shows left and right on their latest tour. They recently hit the stage at the Independent in San Francisco and the crowd went wild. From the moment the lights flickered from white to a dramatic red hue the audience swooned over the quintet. Enthusiastically the … Continue reading
All-ages venues come and go fairly often in Sacramento, but rarely does one’s identity transcend that of local music hot spot and become a gathering place for all things local. Art gallery, café, and vintage clothing boutique are but a few ways to describe Bows and Arrows, the latest and greatest venue to break our … Continue reading
