San Diego Indie Music Fest!

Get Ready to be completely underwhelmed!
Its almost that time of year again when the best in the ‘Indie’ world descend on Northpark for two days of music and mayhem! Who? That’s what I thought when I got an email from Citybeat, directing me to the Indie Music Fest website. Hey, I know who James Marsters [...]

Cabron Live at Chasers this Friday!!!

“Uh, Fuck Yeah man, like for sure we’re totally playing at Chasers with Triclops (ex-fleshies-victims family), Batwings and the John Foothills Band.”
“Its sort of last minute but, its Bobs B Day this weekend and we haven’t played since early January. People might forget we are a band and move on to the next best thing, [...]

Congratulations To the Future Mr and Mrs Sarah Glaser!

That’s right! Cullen finally proposed to Sarah, on her last day as a volunteer kelp tank cleaner at the Scripps Birch Aquarium. Kudos to Cullen for the hugeness of the proposal! Six years of dating had to end in a blowout proposal, one that all of San Diego will remember, at least those that read [...]

Consumption Junction: Expecting Less but Getting More (CityBeat Update)

So here’s an update on that whole Citybeat thing courtesy of Rosey over at SDDialedin who posted an informative bit about a change at Citybeat. Actually, she makes some good points but SB editor Dave Rolland gives the best two middle fingers to San Diego I’ve read in a while by stating in an email:
We’re [...]

Consumption Junction: You’ll be happier expecting less!

It starts with a slow slide towards mediocrity, a descent into a commoditized habitat of decay. A place where you have agreed to live under the conditions set by the board of tourism and the developers to only show the average, culture free elements of a white washed city close to the ocean. To only [...]

We Can Control the Medium: Radio’s Dying Gasps

“We can control the medium/ We can control the context of presentation…” – T. Gabel
Radio has been dying a slow death for the past decade, losing ad revenue to companies who have increased their ad spending online. I don’t claim to be an expert on the intricacies of radio but I knew enough in college [...]

What Little Folks do For Fun: Fkenal, Cabron, Bike Rides, Food Drives

My favorite band of our singer, Leo, besides Cabron, is Fkenal. An all instrumental/psych rock four piece playing hybrid prog/indie rock replete with visual projector show and one of the most mesmerizing drummers I’ve seen in a long time (though Mark, Cullen and Seb are tremendous as well). Leo doesn’t sing in Fkenal but he [...]

HELP THE LOCUST!!!

I’ve sung the praises of The Locust as purveyors of sonic terror and know how amazing they are as artists and people first hand. They have always been a huge part of the San Diego underground music community. Unfortunately, like dozens of bands in the past year, their gear was ripped off in St. Louis [...]

Cabron Live with TSOL and Battalion of Saints Nov. 24th

So Cabron got invited to open for TSOL and Battalion of Saints. Here’s a poster our friend Bill Pierce put together for the show. Reagan is immortal in the hearts and minds of neo-dissidents everywhere — the bastard. Who knew we’d be worse off a quarter century later? How’s the recession taste? Too much subprime [...]
