fightmaster in la

E.R. Fightmaster kicked off their All or Nothing Tour with a sold out hometown performance at El Cid in Los Angeles, marking it as the first stop of the tour to sell out. Throughout the night, they balanced the set with fan favorites, newer releases, and first-ever live performances of unreleased songs from their upcoming album, including “Minotaur,” “Glide,” and another song jokingly referred to as “the one for divorcees.” Between songs, Fightmaster admitted they hadn’t prep

jeff draco - a look into excess

A few weeks ago, I sat down (on the internet) with Jeff Draco to discuss the release of his latest album Excess, the modern-age yearning for community, and the worlds largest chest of drawers. Residing in the Washington, DC area since 2018, Jeff has become a staple within the capital's indie-pop music scene. With his unforgettable live performances across the DMV area at iconic venues such as the 9:30 Club, as well as touring cross-country with artists such as The Thing With

together pangea + the high curbs

Last weekend, I took the massive trip (30 minute drive from my house) down to Baltimore City to see one of my favorite bands ever. I've been catching Together Pangea's headlining shows in the DMV for close to 10 years now, moving from Metro Gallery in 2017 to Baltimore SoundStage in 2026, and everywhere in-between. On a co-headlining tour with The Red Pears and The High Curbs as the show's opener, all three California based bands put on an unforgettable performance. Take a lo

The initially shy yet attentive audience that had plastered itself with care to the walls has since warmed up: someone has taken a front and center seat on the ground and a small group has sectioned off a dance floor, while those who know every word have finally gained the courage to mouth along in good company. Earlier on, Adeline Hotel cracked the night open with a set that left us all s
