The Bees. That is a great band name. The thing is though, they also go by A Band Of Bees. And the good thing about it is that The Bees can follow up their great band names with quality music. I was fortunate enough to see them play last summer as The Bees at the [...]

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will be touring this April in the US with Elvis Perkins in Dearland. In January 2007 Clap Your Hands Say Yeah released their second album, Some Loud Thunder which includes singles, “Satan Said Dance” and “Underwater (You and Me)”.
The Brooklyn and Philadelphia based indie band was unsigned when they released [...]

If you’ve got nothing better to do and you feel like spending a few minutes of your time watching something that you’ve probably never seen before, then I think I’ve found the video for you.
Beatboxing flute player Greg Patillo is all the rage on YouTube. He’s been posting videos of his flute performances which have [...]

Let me start this out by saying: Slash is the coolest guitarist playing music today. I don’t care what anyone says, that’s my opinion and I’m stickin’ to it.
Now, on to Slash news. Apparently he’s set to write his autobiography with the help of ghost writer Anthony Bozza. Although the words ‘Slash’ and ‘memoires’ probably [...]

New York based band Elizabeth & The Catapult were recently interviewed on Billboard’s new program, Billboard Underground. They talk about their songwriting process and the music business in between clips of them performing their single, “Momma’s Boy”.
What I like about Elizabeth & The Catapult is that even with the simplicity of their music, they’re able [...]

Now in it’s sixth year after being brought back to life from it’s previous [...]

Gwar is one of those bands that when they’re brought up in conversation, usually the person that I’m talking to about them has been to one of their live shows. The funny thing about that is nine times out of ten, they don’t seem “the type” that would attend a Gwar concert.
After all wouldn’t you [...]

New Young Pony Club, Klaxons, CSS and The Sunshine Underground have been selling out shows like crazy. They’ve been touring together around the UK for the NME Indie Rave Tour and seem to be the cats meow amongst live show goers.
Putting on shows like this is such a great idea. It’s easy to find a [...]

Muse released Black Holes and Revelations in 2006 and with age, the songs off of the album just keep getting better and better. Each track shines - especially my favorite, “Knights of Cydonia”.
I’ve mentioned before on Trendy Bands, how much I love the track and that I was lucky enough to have seen Muse play [...]
