Last night I saw Sleigh Bells, the Sundelles, and Orphan at Le Poisson Rouge based on a tipoff from This Recording. I’d seen Orphan open for Nebula at the Knitting Factory around a year [...]

Giant Wind Chimes

I uploaded this to Youtube today. I shot it during “Punk Rock Island” around a month ago and it’s funny that you can’t hear any punk rock in the background. Since I uploaded it, I researched and found another post about them and also that FIGMENT* is related. Rock on kids. Update: My bad. You [...]

Las Palmas
