RECAP: Bonnaroo 2010 – Day 1

By G. Alan Busch Jr. | Published June 16, 2010

The ninth annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival kicked off on Thursday with a lineup packed with artists on the verge. Rains the day before left some of the festival grounds waterlogged, but overall the weather was almost bearable for a Bonnaroo night. Thursday is typically a great day to discover new music and take advantage of having a number of press-darling-bands in the same place. This year was no different, and may have boasted the best opening night lineup of the festival’s history with the likes of Fanfarlo, Here We Go Magic, Local Natives, and Manchester Orchestra all performing in the first three hours.

BRAHMS remixes Neon Indian, Upcoming Piano’s Residency

By Mark | Published April 9, 2010

To name your band after a towering figure of the romantic period takes balls. So does playing your first show to over 2000 people. But as the decade ticked over and clean slates were needed, Eric Lodwick, Cale Parks & Drew Robinson seized the chance to create their own context.  Loosening the ties on past projects, they dug deep into the winter in Greenpoint, Brooklyn to emerge fully formed as BRAHMS (capitalization intentional), calling on musical ghosts and traces, crafting songs that echo evocatively from early childhood down to now, focussing on development and creating something that is truly their own.
Take a listen to their remix of Neon Indian’s “Psychic Chasms” at Pitchfork

  • The Go-Betweens: Australia's Most Influential Indie Band Of All Time?

    On a recent business trip to Brisbane [the state capital of Queensland, Australia], a bout of insomnia saw me walking the streets of the inner-city in the early hours of the morning. Heading north, a prominent sign caught my eye: GO BETWEEN BRIDGE. Lodged in the back of my mind was a recent newspaper story, detailing the re-naming of an existing vehicle & foot passenger bridge [linking Brisbane’s inner-city to the suburbs] in honour of one of the city’s most popular indie bands of the 1980’s.
