The Rumble Portland
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010It’s not often that a free show goes down at Holocene, so it’s doubly exciting when the band headlining happens to be local lo-fi psychedelic rockers Blood Beach.

Paper Hands sparkles in Santa Rosa debut
Sunday, May 30th, 2010The debut of Michael Richardson’s (Benton Falls, The New Trust) new band Paper Hands last night at the Santa Rosa Art Collective was not that of a smooth, finely polished Los Angeles studio band.

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
You may or may not have caught Will Kapp, also known as Truth Syrum, at his Portland debut at Valentines earlier this year…and if you didn’t, odds are that you probably won’t be seeing him, guitar in hand, at local venues in the near future.
And while some may not have the ability to decode the […]
Chrome Lotus has many nicknames… none of them good
Friday, April 16th, 2010Santa Rosa’s newest hip nightclub is also the city’s newest rock music venue. Let that marinate for a second.
That’s right. The same douchebags and bagettes you see on “Jersey Shore” and “Downtown Santa Rosa” are the first thing you see in Chrome Chodus. Pool tables, a big bar, GIANT televisions everywhere, very, very loud top […]

The Most Awesome Protagonist Returns
Monday, March 8th, 2010I think it’s rather safe to say that anyone who is familiar with the tightly knit music scene of Sonoma County has heard or seen Mikey O’Connor play music at some point over the last ten years. Whether it was playing cheery pop punk with Hot April or Protecting Gheel, or […]

iPad: iJizzed.
Thursday, January 28th, 2010It’s that time of the month. I’m craving technology like nobody’s business, and it’s a weird craving. I want something with a touch screen, that’s thin and light but with a big, 10 inch screen. What do you mean that doesn’t exist? DO YOU WANT ME TO HURT SOMEONE?
By now, you’ve probably seen a review […]
