Sinker – Slash And Burn (Live Video)
I don't think Sinker were fully appreciated in Detroit as evidenced by members of the crowd walking though the band mid-song to get to the door behind them. Here's a video of Sinker playing their song that was eventually released on the legendary 3/12/93 7" comp on Ebullition Records. (More...)
La Roux – In For the Kill, Bulletproof (Live)
One of the most consistently successful musical formulas of the last couple years has been that of the electronic duo. A relatively recent entry in the crowded field is England's La Roux. Consisting of singer Elly Jackson and producer / multi-instrumentalist Ben Langmaid, La Roux make straight-to-the-point pop songs in the vein of 80s groups Yazoo, Heaven 17, and the Human League.

Voxtrot – Age of Consent (Live)
Voxtrot is one of the bands that went through one of the steepest hype-to-hate trajectory fueled through the manic vehicle that was Pitchfork and other music blogs throughout the OO's. After a few revered EP releases, Voxtrot’s eventual and highly anticipated full-length was met with ire generally reserved for baby-murderers. (More...)
Sleater-Kinney – Sold Out (Live Video)
The quality of this video isn't the greatest, but it was a such rarity that you would find Sleater-Kinney playing tracks from their self-titled release during the "Call The Doctor" tour. As such, I wanted to post it for the die-hard fans. (More...)
Filth – The List (Live Video)
Filth just played a huge reunion show a month ago with another Bay Area old school punk band, The Gr'ps at the legendary Gilman Street. Rapid City, where this video was shot, had a huge affinity for Filth as well (More...)
The National – Terrible Love (Live)
The National are everywhere these days: Rolling Stone, Village Voice, NY Times... I remember talking to the drummer in 2007 just before the release of Boxer about whether they were concerned about over-estimating their popularity by debuting the tour with five shows at Bowery Ballroom. Clearly, they were not. (More...)
Thao + Mirah – When We Swam (Live)
As part of NYC's Northside festival Thao Nguyen as of Thao with the Get Up and Get Down played a combined set with Mirah with both combining bands and performing songs from each other's catalog. Great idea, great show. (More...)
The Monday Set: Legendary Jim Ruiz Group – Minneapolis – 5/9/07
A little over three years ago, Jim Ruiz decided to a one off reunion show at the 7th Street Entry. I had missed his last performance which was in NYC at the Chickfactor showcase in 2002, so I was determined to make this one. (More...)
The Make-Up – You + Me vs The World (Live Video)
After this week's earlier Nation Of Ulysses post we got a few requests for more Ian Svenonius. Here's a video from one of The Make-Up's early tours supporting their 7"s released on their own Black Gemini Records. (More...)
The Wedding Present – What Have I Said Now? (Live)
The Wedding Present swept through town doing what many bands are doing these days - performing a classic album in its entirely. I suppose some might argue that Seamonsters is their best album, but one thing is certain, no true fan of The Wedding Present is out there without Bizzaro prominently placed in their collection.
