Sara HayesReviewsThe New Year + Dirty on Purpose + Tre OrsiAlthough there tends to be such a long lapse between the New Year’s albums and tours, rare nights like this make it all worth the wait. [5 November 2008] The DonkeysPolished by the California sun and worn smooth by ocean breezes, The Donkeys’ music captures the past and makes it sound shiny and new. [7 October 2008] Cass McCombsPlaying in a dark room, with swirling purple lights and a smoke machine, the atmosphere during Cass McCombs’ set was oddly reminiscent of a school dance -- stately, sleepy, and a little awkward. [17 September 2008] EarlimartEarlimart seem to be heading in a new direction—one that embraces the lows and the journey back up. It’s a bittersweet trip and one that we all encounter daily—but it can’t be that bad when we’ve got music as beautiful and poignant as this to serve as a soundtrack. [12 August 2008] Siren FestivalThe Siren Festival is a quirky, quintessential part of summer that brings the community at large together, regardless of the bands playing. [7 August 2008] Grand ArchivesGrand Archives (led by Mat Brooke, formerly of Carissa's Wierd and Band of Horses) evoke the pastoral beauty of the Pacific Northwest with their lush sound and wistful pop melodies that are both earthy and earnest. [3 July 2008] |
