hundred hundred, honey boat and sea monsters at the ‘flur warehouse.
The first show at the bellflur mansion (read: warehouse) featured honey boat’s debut, sea monsters and hundred hundred. Shout out to the Capslocks who made it but didn’t quite make it, brother, hundred hundred’s shakespeare story, blake in the bathroom, will’s awesome photography and tom’s musical dance moves. There was enough Wii, Jameson, oriental carpets, [...]

we kiss goodbye and drink up some hours before the dawn.
because if nuclear winter hit and your lover was stuck in a different underground missile silo and you could only listen to one song while you were broken-hearted it would absolutely have to be this.

hear this: savoir adore.
Last night dc’s u streeters were in a jovial sort of mood, and made a decent showing at the velvet lounge. They even danced a little. Okay, maybe more of a sway/bop, but it was effort. And some of that swaying was to the lovely, layered, lush (not the drunk kind) brooklyn-based band: Savoir Adore. [...]

it’s blitz down under.
Due to the most rad hanukkah present ever, I was able to see karen o. and the yeah yeah yeahs serenade australia at festival hall in melbourne. We got there early enough for the opening band, whose name I have forgotten…mainly because they looked and sounded as if they were throwing up on stage. Luckily, [...]

hear this: last tide.
DC-based last tide played at the r&r hotel last weekend, and I don’t remember much except that the singer had a bad-ass lip ring, the drummer had nice hair, I was inexplicably wearing a mask, it was really cold outside and the volume was up so loud I went upstairs to get away from the [...]

MTV make way
Picture this: a room packed full of drunk twenty-something-year-olds dancing with a purpose; to make one awesome music video. Insane partiers and Pittsburgh favorites, the Hood Gang enlisted the help of their partners in crime, i.e. their fans to come together for one party-hard super dancy sweaty awesome mess for their new music video. There [...]

hear this: theresa andersson.
meet theresa andersson. she may look like your average swedish/new orleans indie darling, but in fact, she is a one-woman atomic whirlwind; and she is probably blowing your favorite quirky singer with bangs straight out of the musical water. backup band? what backup band? theresa loops her violin, tuned-down guitar (read: bass), half-filled pop bottles, [...]

guest drop: no basic space for the xx
.
Capslock is a huge fan of The xx. Sadly not all of the caplocks fans in DC were able to skip on down to DC 9 to attend (same on you). Prior to the concert I hesitated over the proper attire for such a show. In a recent interview The xx acknowledged that black [...]

your morning power folk ballad.
Sometimes I like to browse foreign itunes lists, and that’s how I found the London-born Mumford & Sons. It’s folk music for the jilted indie-rocker–imagine if the Avett Brothers were British. And they have a dobro! Unfortunately, they have yet to make it across the itunes-pond, so if any Brits out [...]
