I meet Fifty on their Heels guitarist/vocalist Junior Metro and drummer Justin at Hamilton’s, a relatively new beer bar in South Park. Hunkered over pint glasses and chatting softly under the din of a Padres-cheering crowd, the two exude a calmness and modesty that’s immediately at odds with the frenetic swagger of [...]

…has been lovingly transcribed by the beautiful and talented Rosemary Bystrak of SD Dialed In. You can read it online here. I interviewed cat dirt, sddialedin and chickrawker for the piece. I liked it so much, I bought the compa–er, I started my own. Which I currently neglect.
Oh, if you know any of the MusicMatters [...]

I arrived at the BB around 8:45 PM and found the place already somewhat full. Ran into some friends I hadn’t seen in a while: Kipper, who was DJing, Justin from Silverbird/Counterfit, and Tony from Fever Sleeves. Justin seems to be doing well and is excited about getting Silverbird out on the road. I’m excited [...]

cat dirt throws a pretty mean party, even if a no-show door person meant that he had to do so while collecting cover and manning the prodigious guest list. The only part of his hospitality of which I didn’t partake was the cupcakes, though they looked delicious. Pics from the event will be forthcoming–damn that [...]

Yeah, I’m headed to see Fifty on their Heels at the Beauty Bar tonight. My feature on them just came out in MusicMatters, and I think they are great dudes. It’s cat dirt’s wife’s birthday (I believe her blogger handle is CDW–which reminds me: I have a distant uncle who’s CB handle is “Texas T-Bone.” [...]

It’s a little embarassing being beaten to the punch about your own magazine, but as cat dirt reports, a new issue of MusicMatters magazine is out. I contributed a feature on Fifty on their Heels (I absolutely love the band shot of them, by the way), a feature on Augustana, a feature on In this [...]

cat dirt has a good post/preview on tonight’s sunn o)))/Earth/Weedeater show at the Casbah. This is a veritable doom rocker’s dream lineup (several out-of-town touring bands I’ve spoken to pondered cancelling their shows tonight just to be there), and a classic example of the kind of show you can see in San Diego with 225 [...]
