Invariably at the beginning of any young band’s career, its members have to decide what the future will look like for their group. Such decisions usually happen after the group’s first release; at that point the pressure’s off, they’ve gone in...
Walking into a half-filled Fillmore, I was a bit unsure of what to expect to say the least. I have always been a huge fan of the New York Dolls, but when a band is touring 35 years after their heyday, and only 2 of the 5 founding members are still alive, wouldn't...
As promised, we will continue to get the best of the best new music into your eardrums, and if we’re lucky, we’ll get best of the best music into your iPods. This edition features an artist that GC loves, and an actress-turned-singer that GC loves (She...
