Vegoose Festival Recap

Vegas! Halloween! Beer! Music! What more can the most debauched "Holiday" of the year ask for? Except for maybe the bands to dress up (thanks, The Shins). Check out some sweet pics from Vegoose and a brief, but all-encompassing review of this past weekend...

Fields + Blonde Redhead = Good Ticket

I love Fields. Their almost effortless intertwining of My Bloody Valentine rushes of sound, dissonant melodies and folk backbone amazes me. But... I also like drinking. And because of my lush status, I missed them at Coachella. It's okay, start hurling balled-up post-it notes at your computer screen: I deserve it.

But to make up for it, here is their awesome new(ish) video for "If You Fail, We All Fail" and some pics of their live performance from Coachella.







The band are also touring this summer and a few dates are with Blonde Redhead (also a Coachella highlight). Here's the dates:

5/2 Portland, OR - Berbati's Pan
