Atta Boy took eight long years between their first and second LP… so it’s not entirely surprising that it was more than a decade into their career before the Americana-tinged indie pop outfit embarked on their first proper tour…  The L.A.-born quartet formed in high school and released their...

“Personally, I haven’t celebrated Halloween in quite a while… because I’m, you know, considered witchy and gothy.  I always get associated with Halloween,” says Allie X during a recent Zoom chat, laughing.  However, this Thursday, October 31st, is a big occasion for the Canadian synth-pop savant, who will be...

It’s been more than six years since we’ve seen Spanish alt-rockers Hinds in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection…  But this Friday, October 25th, you’ll have two chances to see the Madrid-based duo in the 215, when they’ll be playing a midday set at World Café Live...

Last month, Canadian indie-rock icons Stars celebrated the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album, Set Yourself on Fire, by playing the entire record in full at Union Transfer.  It was an amazing night – the band sounded as tight as ever, adoring fans sang along to every song.  The...
