The Monday Set: Acid House Kings – New York City – 7/8/06
Acid House Kings released a new single earlier this month and have a brand spanking new LP set to drop later this month. One of TSOI's writers (Avalanche) caught them on their last US tour nearly 5 years ago. Here's a recording of one of their two NYC dates back in 2006 (More...)
Save WRVU
In the past couple of months there has been an outbreak of schools selling, or attempting to sell, their college radio broadcast license. The University of San Francisco recently sold their KUSF license and Vanderbilt University's WRVU is currently on the chopping block. It's a continuing trend which absolutely must stop (More...)
The Monday Set: Magic Bullets – Los Angeles – 2/19/11
On a last minute whim we decided to check out San Francisco's Magic Bullets' instore performance at Origami Vinyl a couple of weekends ago. I wasn't that familiar with the band and had only heard a few tracks streamed from MySpace, but since it was a free show we had nothing to lose (More...)
Oh Land: Sun Of A Gun (Live)
There's been a ton of hype surrounding Oh Land this past month and I have to admit that I've gotten caught up in it. Earlier this month we headed over to The Echo in Los Angeles to check out an early evening show the day after their LA debut (More...)
The Monday Set: Los Cincos – Los Angeles – 12/4/95
After the split of seminal hardcore band Honeywell, 2 members went on to form One Eyed Richard and The Goddamn Liars. After one 12" release, One Eyed Richard changed their name to the moniker Los Cincos and continued to put out releases for the next 5 years. This recording has a couple tracks from the early One Eyed Richard days (More...)
Pussycat Trash: Doris
When talking about the UK riot grrrl scene, it was all about Huggy Bear, but for my money I always preferred Pussycat Trash. Although they never had the notoriety and fan base of Huggy Bear, their output between '92-'95 was unmatched. (More...)
Bikini Kill: George Bush Is No Hero (Live Video)
If you have read Sara Marcus's book "Girls To The Front" she refers to Bikini Kill throughout and this show specifically. One of 15 acts to play that night, Bikini Kill from all accounts, wowed the huge crowd. I saw them a few years after this show at a club in Minnesota. (More...)
Bratmobile: Cherry Bomb (Live Video)
It's day 2 of Riot Grrrl week here at TSOI and it's a good one. Bratmobile were one of the very few bands that I always wanted to see but never had the opportunity. Truth be told, I was a bigger Cold Cold Hearts and The Peechees fan. (More...)
The Monday Set: Excuse 17 – Berkeley – 4/28/95
I finished Sara Marcus’s "Girls to the Front: The True Story Of The Riot Grrrl Revolution" this past weekend so I'm declaring it Riot Grrrl week here on TSOI. Quite often while reading the book I found myself thinking it was more like reading a diary than a documentation of the riot grrrl scene. (More...)
Amber Inn: Life Instantaneous (Live Video)
Amber Inn were one of those bands that came around just about the time I was getting out of my "emo" phase and more into electronic/indie bands. I bought their 7"s, but they didn't get nearly the love they would have gotten had they been released a few years earlier. (More...)
