Hey Rosetta! is touring. You should go.

Becoming one of my most listened to bands after watching this video a few months back, Hey Rosetta!, the Canadian troupe led by Tim Baker on vocals, is touring all over the Northeast with Sarah Harmer.

Mountain Goats’ Darnielle takes iPhone onstage, sings into it at show

Mountain Goats’ frontman/pretty much only man John Darnielle is known for being a bit eccentric, especially onstage.

About halfway through the track, Darnielle notices Korch,… Continue reading Mountain Goats’ Darnielle takes iPhone onstage, sings into it at show

Wild Nothing) while listening to FM4 radio in Germany a few months back. “Summer Holiday” rang out through the car speakers and ended without the DJ identifying the band before starting another song by another artist. I assumed it HAD to be some obscure, Sarah Records band from back… Continue reading Wild Nothing impresses in DC
