This first weekend of November is packed with goodness. Headliners include Airiel, Wisp, Cloakroom, deary (pictured above), Leaving Time, Sungazer, Little Oso, The Whisperer, Oeil, Wires to the Temples, and Copperplate (in a DKFM exclusive, no less!). But there's so much more on offer this weekend, including cuts from the new EEP album, You Don't Have To Be Prepared. It's a bit of a turn from their last record, but […]
New weekend, new web host, same platform, let's go. We've dense-packed the weekend with all manner of sonic sparkle for your entertainment. First among equals, veteran sonic sculptors Airiel (pictured above), bringing the wallop in performance for Audiotree Live. If you were lucky enough to catch the recent tour, it's like the cherry atop your ice cream. We're also celebrating new releases from Hana McCartney, Acid Wave, Glixen, Hey Calamity, […]
When you have this many headliners in one weekend, what are you supposed to do? First weekend in September unleashes fresh sounds from the best and brightest in our chosen genres, and we're here for it. The new LP from Animal Ghosts has to be the first among equals in this case, because it's a full album of epic hazy shoegaze. But that's just the tip of the awesome iceberg: […]
It's not that we're bad at keeping the website updated. Some may have noticed we've kept well current on New Tracks Weekend, but haven't posted any public-facing documentation of our efforts. It's not them, it's not you, it's us. Besides chasing My Bloody Valentine and Airiel up and down the state, we've been doing some battle with the database under the foundation of this website. You can have the loveliest, […]
New release bonanza! Everybody's long-awaited favorites are released today. Some thought we might not get a new LP from Airiel before the next extinction-level event, but ours is a just God. Molten Young Lovers is out today on Shelflife, and Airiel (pictured above, in a throwback to their boy band days) delivers all they've promised, with change to spare. If you've not got it yet, we'll try to convince you […]
When there's so much new music to promote that we can't even keep our dates straight? That's a helluva month. And we're topping last week already (but we'll keep dates accurate this time). Airiel and Miniatures headline. Both albums dropping soon, surely you've preordered by now? But we've also been granted a few choice cuts from The Morelings debut LP, dropping next week. If we haven't gotten you excited about […]

Now in its eleventh installment, this DIY festival has become the gold standard for festivals of its kind, and the venue change to Bell's Brewery is an upgrade everyone is genuinely enthusiastic about. Tonight, we air a special program celebrating Kalamashoegazer XI, and the […]

Late? Of course we are! Too many headliners. Perfect triple crown: Sunflower Bean, Airiel and A*Star. We'd been waiting for new music from all three, and we've finally got our wish. But we don't stop there! Amazing new music from Rayning (long overdue), Evvolves, Wintermilk, The Psalms, Bummed (we've preached the virtues of their amazing sound on our Facespace page), Water Spaniel, Lobby Boys, Fields, Maths and the Moon, Dead […]
