Vivian Girls in Boston
Taking their Brooklyn sound nationwide, the Vivian Girls roundout their North American tour in Boston on March 8th. With two albums under their belt, the girls of surf guitar and fluffy pop have really generated a buzz around their name. A mix of girl-power and sweet melodic refrains full of old-timey, rock 'n roll pith are what makes us hit 'play' over and over again.

Flaming Lips to Headline Pitchfork Music Festival

After having their song ‘Do You Realize’ named the official state song of Oklahoma, psych-rockers continue gaining momentum, now being named as the headliners for this summer’s Pitchfork Music Festival.

In addition to the Lips, the festival, which will take place from July 17 to July 19 in Chicago’s Union Park, will also feature Grizzly Bear, who are perhaps the most talked-about band in indie rock right now. The Brooklyn-based quartet’s new album, Veckatimest, is coming out in May and is being anticipated to an almost ridiculous degree. Grizzly Bear was already popular amongst indie rock fans after the release of their 2007 album Yellow House, but after touring with Radiohead and playing on both Letterman and Conan O’Brien, the group looks destined to become a household name.
