Busy times for us here at Knox Road, that’s for sure. Anyway, as promised, here are the final highlights and mp3s… Continue reading MP3s of some SXSW artists, season finale (part five)

No Doubt announces pavilion tour
No Doubt (aka, Gwen Stefani’s other project) is finally playing out again, this time playing pavilions and amphitheaters and such across North America. Excited? I’m not really either. Maybe I would have been like 10 years ago, but now I feel like there are about a million other bands I’d rather see live. Well, whatever, for… Continue reading No Doubt announces pavilion tour
Bishop Allen at the Black Cat
Bishop Allen is so cute and stereotypically indie. Which is probably why whoever picked the music for Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist loved them to death.

TV On The Radio announce North America tour dates
That’s right, cool guys TVotR are touring North America (basically the U.S., sorry Canada) off last years success Dear Science,. The tour includes a stop at the 9:30 Club here in D.C. on June 8 which will probably sell out like crazy. The band is selling presale tickets to “their fans” which you can grab… Continue reading TV On The Radio announce North America tour dates
