After weeks of rumblings regarding the matter, 90's grunge titans Soundgarden have confirmed that their first official performance in almost thirteen years will be a pre-Lollapalooza show at the Chicago's Vic Theatre on Thursday, August 5th. Normally, tickets for a show like this would be gone well before any announcements could be made to the world at large, but the powers that be have leveled the playing field. Tickets will be made available for purchase through a drawing. To enter, one must go over to www.soundgardenworld.com and register a user account. During the...

Jimmy Eat World Reveal New Album and Fall...

July 26th, 2010
It's a going to be a busy fall for Jimmy Eat World. First and foremost is the release of their new album Invented on September 28th, their first album since 2007's Chase This Light. Shortly before that, the band will begin the first of what will certainly be many headlining tours behind the album, taking out Civil Twilight for the first two of announced dates, with We Were Promised Jetpacks hopping on after that. The band has said that more dates are coming, so don't worry if you're not seeing anywhere close - these guys are touring monsters and will see you soon.

Surfer Blood and The Drums to Coheadline...

July 26th, 2010
2010 seems to be a resurgence in all things indie: Pitchfork's Festival became the clear mecca of the summer, with Sleigh Bells almost imploding before fame could reach them, Pavement reportedly put on a traditionally shambling performance, and newbies Surfer Blood stole the show with tracks from their much loved debut Astro Coast. Joining the band on a co-headlining trek that'll surely lock down their ascent is the Brooklyn outfit The Drums. They'll be supporting their self titled 2010 album with our boys in Surfer Blood on the following dates:

Pitchfork Music Festival 2010 Report - Day...

July 22nd, 2010
The second day of Chicago's Pitchfork Music Festival brought the heat again with several high energy sets including dance-punk extraordinaires LCD Soundsystem, biting Canadian indie rockers Wolf Parade, dynamite blues-punk comeback kids The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, bloody vengeful folk-punk generals Titus Andronicus, and time warp body snatchers Delorean. Oh, and there's Panda Bear too.

* Delorean

Spanish alt-dance group Delorean have been making music together for the last decade, but they have just recently begun to make their mark in the US starting with their almost flawless and totally...

Local Natives Extend US Run

July 21st, 2010
Local Natives have been tearing a swath through the US in support of the LP Gorilla Manor, and it doesn't seem as if they plan to stop anytime soon. After winning the hearts and minds of the crowd at the Pitchfork Music Festival (including the mind of our own Danny Perkins? Only time will tell), the band is set to continue their nonstop touring this fall . The band will be bringing The Love Language and The Union Line on tour until Austin City Limits, after which Ruby Suns will replace The Love Language. Check out those sick harmonies before they get too big for the small places they'll be playing below.

Something Corporate, Reunited

July 21st, 2010
After a several year hiatus, the death of the pian-emo genre they helped pioneer, and Andrew McMahon's battle with cancer, early 2000's emo juggernauts Something Corporate have announced a reunion tour. The band's done a few one-off shows in the past few years, but to my recollection, this is the first full on tour the band has done in years. I know a lot of you are champing at the bit to see these guys live again, so check them out on the dates below.
