Weezer announce “Blinkerton” dates for NYC

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

I've seen Weezer twice in New York City: once at Madison Square Garden and once at the P.C. Richard's theater for an intimate show. While both were good, I feel that my third time could probably be my best viewing of them due to the fact that the Memories tour dates for NYC have finally been announced.
The Weez will be at the Roseland Ballroom in the Big Apple on December 17th and 18th where they will perform their "Blue Album" and Pinkerton, respectively,… Read More

RiO! Band of the Month – American Fangs

Monday, October 4th, 2010
We had three great bands all competing for the prestigiousness that comes with being the RiO! Band of the Month for September. In the end, however, only one could lay claim to that most lofty title and they are American Fangs from Houston, TX.

Trashy, garage-rock is the name of their game with their song, "Le Kick," leading the way. Screaming vocals, a rousing chorus and super-distorted guitar lines can easily allow you to visualize the mosh pit taking… Read More
