    "Don't ask me why I obsessively look to rock 'n' roll bands for some kind of model for a better society... I guess I glimpsed something beautiful in a flashbulb moment once, and perhaps mistaking it for a prophecy have been seeking its fulfillment ever since. And perhaps that nothing else in the world ever seemed to hold even this much promise." - Lester Bangs

And we did. The worth was and will always be enough for five lifetimes.

  • La Luz’s SXSW Instagram Takeover

    March 13, 2018 /

    Photo Credit: Vikesh Kapoor   Currently based in Los Angeles’ duality of sunny dispositions and dark illusions, La Luz has crafted something special since their inception in 2012. Comprised of singer/guitarist Shana Cleveland, drummer Marian Li Pino, keyboardist Alice Sandahl, and bassist Lena Simon, the band’s surf-rock infested and reverb-drenched melodies maintain a haunting infectiousness while conjuring visions of hallucinatory desert landscapes. Citing inspiration from early teenage garage groups, La Luz’s journey from their first full length off Hardly Art, It’s Alive, through to their upcoming album, Floating Features (coming out on May 11th), has traversed textured terrain, soaking up a variety of genres and exuding complexity while still staying…

Initiated as a short and years later coming together as a full length feature, we are introduced to brothers Nick (Alex Pettyfer) and Sam (James Freedson-Jackson), embarking on what appears to be a trip with no end in sight, away from familiar surroundings. Sam suffers from unwanted thoughts constantly picking at his brain, with Nick’s advice being to let go…

      SXSW Film Review: Hounds of Love by Trish Connelly Ben Young’s Hounds of Love renders as an emotionally staggering directorial debut, illustrating the vicious and cyclical nature of relationship abuse between both lovers and serial killers. Based loosely on true events, the film takes place in December, 1987 in the suburbs of Perth, Australia. Cruising down neighborhood streets, serial killers John (Stephen Curry) and Evelyn (Emma Booth) lure adolescent girls into their car, kidnapping and torturing them before disposing of their bodies in the sprawling woods. One night after an argument with her mother, Vicki (Ashleigh Cummings) leaves her house to go to a party only to find herself…

With the use of flashbacks and screen title cards, Us and Them plays out in a stream-of-consciousness storyline with Danny (Jack Roth) playing leader alongside his blue-collared friends Tommy (Andrew Tiernan) and Sean (Daniel Kendrick), holding a prestigious banker’s family hostage in a continuous gamble of who will get tormented next in order to serve them a lesson and record the entire stunt on video to release to the wider public in the hopes of…

Stumbling onto a mysterious board game, the friends read out the rules and we realize something is astray as soon as the game decides to take a pinch of their blood. “24” appears on the board’s counter as the clock ticks down to the number of head counts the players must proceed in killing before the game ends. Quickly realizing the game isn’t playing around as one of their friend’s heads explodes in front of them, the group realizes it’s an impending time…

In anticipation of Mara (Jessica Kaye)’s father’s 70th birthday, she brings her recent boyfriend Aaron (Daniel Ahearn) to Belize to celebrate, but upon arriving quickly discovers that her father has passed away. A series of subtle yet significant fabrications spring forth once we figure out that Mara lies about how long she’s been together with Aaron as well as lying about calling her brother Ben (Mark…

Drawing influences from classic acts like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, the three piece take things a step further by incorporating their own musical forces into the mix. Their self-titled album, released in 2000 on Joe Lally (of Fugazi)’s label Tolotta Records, was followed a year later by Howls from the Hills. Post-completion, the band recorded a Peel Session in Fugazi’s home studio, marking the first time a Peel Session was recorded outside the…

      SXSW Film Review: The Light of the Moon by Trish Connelly  All too often films involving sexual assault/rape scenes seem like a convenient plot point to make a female character complex without ever actually exploring its complexities. Jessica M. Thompson’s film, The Light of the Moon, carefully considers the nuances of one individual’s experience without ever asserting that there is one authentic or correct way to process trauma. It’s clear from the start that Bonnie (Stephanie Beatriz) is an independent and successful businesswoman, poised and assertive, however with some stressors underlying her relationship with her boyfriend Matt (Michael Stahl-David). After leaving a party with her friends one night, Bonnie…

Casting his own mother, Cheri Honkala, and his younger step-brother, Guillero Santos, Mark returns home to his family from years in prison only to find Pittsburgh has changed very little since he last left it. An advocator for those in the city’s marginal communities, Honkala casts dignity on individuals that are struggling to stay out of prison as well as confronting ongoing battles with substance abuse (Honkala also ran for vice president in…

Less a question of how these babies came to be and the scientific explanation behind them, infinity babies are presented similar to the latest gadget on the market and stripped of their humane characteristics; infinitely easier to take care of than any other sentient being, substituting crying for cooing, only needing a diaper change once a week and never having to leave the nest.

Inspired by actual events, the story revolves around Zaynab (Fawzia Mirza), a Pakistani lawyer in her 30’s, acting as caretaker to her recently widowed mother Parveen (Shabana Azmi) by day and trains as a lucha-style wrestler by night.

The opportunity arose during this year’s SXSW Festival where they had the opportunity to be mentored by and discuss ideas with Daniels and record a track in Converse Rubber Tracks’ professional recording studio.

In my short time as a performer and songwriter, this is something I’ve constantly attempted to do–but, unfortunately, I can’t truly tell you whether or not I’ve actually succeeded at it. I can only go off of what really turns me on as someone who experiences art. Attempts to translate my love for David Lynch and Woody Allen films into a different medium, or books like “Swann’s Way” or “Tropic of Cancer,” or any painting by Magritte–for songs are different animals than all these things.

The first of these artists to talk with us was Jarrah McCleary of Panama. He’s a cool dude with a definite passion for music (and is a little soft spoken). Turn up your speakers and enjoy! If you want to…

  • JUAN WAUTERS talks SXSW, The Beatles, Selfies, and More

    March 18, 2014 /

    Going into this interview, I knew nothing about Juan Wauters.  When I asked my brothers about him, they told me about The Beets and played some of his music, and it was great.  When I walked into Red 7 for his show, he had an American flag, a banner, and a luchador behind him.  I had no idea what I was about to see.  What I did see was pure gold.  I was lucky enough to score an interview with Juan Wauters.  Let me just tell you, he is an awesome guy!   ANON: How are you liking SXSW so far? Juan Wauters: We just rolled in.  We haven’t been…

  • One For The Locals: Ishi

    March 1, 2014 /

    When JT Mudd and Brad Dale began their musical experiment in 2006, they probably didn’t consider that they would one day be sharing stages with acts like New Order, SBTRKT, Phoenix, Passion Pit, Pretty Lights, Big Boi, Neon Indian, Toro y Moi, and Marina & the Diamonds. Lo and behold, they have. Ishi has long passed the gauntlet of festival validation, playing SXSW, Meltdown Music Festival, Wicker Park Festival, etc. to great audience and critical acclaim. In 2010, the release of Ishi’s critically acclaimed freshman album “Through the Trees”  won awards from the Dallas Observer for Best New Act & Best Electronic/Dance Act. The sophomore album, “Digital Wounds,” was released in…

  • The Terror: A New Chapter For The Flaming Lips

    April 19, 2013 /

    Last month I got to see The Flaming Lips during SXSW in Austin. Being a Lips live show veteran, I ventured to Auditorium Shores expecting balloons, confetti, big-ass hands, lasers, or maybe Wayne riding the big hamster ball on top of the crowd, but instead I received “The Terror”. After being told that we were the biggest crowd in SXSW history, Wayne began to drape long plastic tubes over his body and then strapped a creepy, life-like baby to his left arm. Wayne proceeded to explain to the crowd that they were going to hear and see something new, for the first time, before anyone else, “So if we fuck…

  • Tame Impala – Lonerism

    March 12, 2013 /

    The first time I heard Tame Impala’s debut album, Innerspeaker, I couldn’t believe that they were from this decade. The Australian outfit has managed to resurrect the psychedelic rock of the 60s and 70s, and forge it with the emerging indie-rock genre of our time. Along with this, they have created something truly magical. The sound is something truly unique; sounding much like the bastard child of Pink Floyd and Cream, with dirty, fuzzy, fat guitar tones that I think would even make Jimi Hendrix proud. In October of last year, with the release of Lonerism, Tame Impala has rocketed into a future in the limelight of independent rock. When…
