I WAS THERE: Deerhunter, Dan Deacon and No Age Nail Round Robin Performance At Brooklyn Bowl
August 3, 2009
Words and photos by Andrew Parks “Can everyone be quiet please?” asked Bradford Cox, as he struggled to lead Deerhunter through a quick song at Brooklyn Bowl. “This is soundcheck, not showtime.” And so began the No Age/Deerhunter/Dan Deacon show that went from a simple, open-air Pool Party to a pair of free 600 cap […]

ST004 UNVEILED: Flip Through Our New Issue, Including Features on Florence and the Machine, Patrick Wolf, Sunn O))), The Horrors & More, Plus a Priceless GZA/Telepathe Interview
July 31, 2009
[Florence & the Machine photo by Ivan Jones] We know, we know–the idea of diving into a digital magazine is still foreign to most of you. Hell, you might even equate it with something as stale as ‘perusing a PDF’. Not true, kids. And goddammit, we’re not willing to accept no as an answer this […]
S/T Survived … The ‘Red Carpet’ & Raucous Photo Pit At Diesel’s Clusterfuck of a Free Concert, F/ Kanye West, Lykke Li, Passion Pit and More
July 31, 2009
Words and Photos by Sean Edgar So self-titled really isn’t sure what kind of publicity Diesel is trying to attract with their increasingly ape-shit free shows. Starting off last fall as a full international tour–including a carnival-esque stop at the Brooklyn Waterfront–its first iteration sported a very pregnant M.I.A., Hot Chip, Franz Ferdinand and a […]

TEST PRESSING: White Rainbow Lulls Us Into a Deep, Deep Sleep With an Exclusive Live Set From Last Year’s Halleluwah Festival
July 29, 2009
[Photo by Sarah Meadows] The first time we witnessed a White Rainbow set was completely by accident. After showing up early to Atlas Sound‘s first full band show (rounded out by White Rainbow and members of Valet and Nudge), we immediately bypassed the Music Hall of Williamsburg’s downstairs bar and followed Adam Forkner’s debilitating drone […]
THE DAILY GRIND: Decibel’s Editor Reveals His Favorite Speaker-Searing Records From Pig Destroyer, Brutal Truth & Repulsion
July 29, 2009
No matter how ‘true’ all of you are, we’re willing to bet that most self-titled readers don’t know the first thing about the frenzied full-lengths of Pig Destroyer, Repulsion and Brutal Truth. Maybe that one record Pitchfork recommended, but that’s about it. Which is a shame considering all three bands will perform rare sets this […]
