City Arts Fest is right around the corner and this thing is going to be huge! The fest runs October 20th-23rd but the one day that you should not miss on any account is Friday, October 22nd.

Die Antwoord is a hip-hop group from Cape Town, South Africa consisting of three members, Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek (or maybe DJ Fishsticks, as he was introduced at Sonic Boom).

Wanna do something really fun October 20th-23rd? I thought you might . Well, have I got the thing for you! Seattle is playing host to the very first City Arts Festival and the line up of this thing is totally amazing.

Brendan Angelides is a San Francisco based electronic music producer who has been making music under the moniker Eskmo since 1999 . His new LP is entitled Eskmo and is the first release on the Ninja Tune label following the release of Ninja Tune’s 20th Anniversary box set.

What the heck is BLACKDIAMONDSKYE, you ask? Only the best . tour . ever . happening . ever . Ok, I know I said that this was the best tour ever imaginable and a concert event that should not be missed but I can have two awesome opinions, right? Alice in Chains, Deftones and Mastodon are playing the Key Arena Friday October 9th, and I am positive that this tour which is absolutely gargantuan, will be remembered 10 years from now as the tour that tilted the earth from its axis causing massive floods, earthquakes, lots of fires and general hysteria all around.

The last days of summer have past and the chill of fall is slowly creeping into my bones . Not only is it the perfect time to grow a beard (which has become my seasonal tradition going on 3 years now) but it's also the perfect time to listen to Les Sins.

I arrived to The Paramount Theatre with such a flutter of emotion in my heart that for a brief moment I thought I might need to invest in a pacemaker to make it through the evening.

Handful of Luvin' have been a part of the local music scene since 2002 but it wasn't until 2005 that they were actually able to get a full band together.

Are you feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed? Are you feeling on top of the world? Do you find yourself whistling while you work? If so, it sounds like you may be experiencing the emotion most people refer to as happiness.

It's been 3 years since I've heard from French electro duo Teenage Bad Girl . I thought we had something really special what with me listening to their debut record Cocotte almost non-stop and they in turn making me feel like I was the only one for them.

Sleighbells have a new music video for their song 'Infinity Guitars' and I'm not impressed . Alexis, as always, is smoking hot but I want her to do something with the baseball bat she's carrying around during the video.

Seriously, I'm bleeding right now . Hailing from Italy, these two electro house masterminds have already stopped my heart and cracked my skull and I'm not heading to the hospital anytime soon.

I've been loving this group Warpaint since I first discovered them several months ago . Below you can read an extremely descriptive and brilliant quote about the band taken from this very blog.

Now in its seventh year, Seattle's Decibel Festival remains one of the biggest and best electronic music festivals in the world . This year the festival runs from Sept.

So many bands, so little time . I did however make time for several bands and also happened to get some really cool video too.

Bumbershoot is over, yes it's true . I know you're all broken up about it but come on, stop crying because this is getting really awkward.

Ok . So Courtney Love has a certain reputation for being, oh you know, how do you say . . . tempermental . Yesterday wasn't any different as she exploded into the tiny room of eager fans and radio folk asking for an i-phone charger hook-up and writing, in gray sharpie, the names down of various radio street teamers on their own shirts so that Love would remember them.

At first glance I was not impressed with the Bumbershoot line-up whatsoever . Sure, you've got the big name headliners like Bob Dylan, Mary J Blige, The Decemberists, Hole and Weezer which is all fine and good but I wasn't blown away.

Seattle's own The Physics have just released a new video for the song 'I Just Wanna Beat' from their 2009 High Society EP . The song is a perfect companion for the last lazy hazy days of summer and the video is crackin'! Make sure to look for their new full length Love is a Business coming soon.
