The Alaska natives have relocated to Portland and recently embarked on an extended tour that has taken them to Europe and will send them […]
Local geek rockers Built By Snow are opening for Sarah Radle’s new project, Calamity Magnet, at Emo’s on Monday 7/14. Radle is a former member of Weezer offshoot The Rentals, whom Built By Snow covers quite awesomely.
Although Calamity Magnet most likely won’t be playing any Rentals tunes, I can almost guarantee that Built By Snow […]

Robert “Lowkey” Hein of Austin group Dred Skott was arrested for public intoxication and resisting arrest after the group opened for Bun B at Emo’s last week.
Two local sources lead me to believe that there is more to the story and call into question the use of force, which included a taser and batons.
Did anybody […]
Bun B is still relatively unknown in the mainstream, even after all the attention he and UGK (Underground Kingz) gained after the untimely death of UGK partner Pimp C. As UGK, the duo owned the Texas underground rap scene since 1987. Their first album came in 1992, and by 2000 UGK was working with artists […]

Alaska isn’t the first place you’d look for a good soulful indie rock band. Alaska is also a pretty good drive away from Austin. Wasilla’s own Portugal The Man trekked to SXSW this year with their fuzzed out guitars and gigged till they dropped. Portugal The Man was impressively on the schedule at least 3-4 […]
