Aquarium Drunkard

If you were looking for a reason to catch Ryan Adams on tour this summer, the quality of this show, recorded last month in Paris, should be more than enough. Adams is at his best here pulling material mainly from Easy Tiger, and the 2005 triple threat that was the albums Cold Roses, Jacksonville […]

Autumn Tone (our label) has just reissued Travel By Sea’s debut LP Shadows Rise in preparation for their next LP “Days of My Escape,” which will be released via Autumn Tone in the late summer. We are big fans of this outfit, and thrilled they are on board with us. Do check them […]

First off, tip of the hat to public television (and radio) who consistently provide quality non-commercial programming. I make a point to support these, and the most recent reminder of why was randomly catching The Rolling Stones 1968 Rock And Roll Circus on L.A.’s PBS affiliate the other night. I had not seen this […]

“One Good Thing About Music, When It Hits You Feel No Pain. So Hit Me With Music…”
In an effort to highlight reggae and dub that’s a bit outside of the mainstream, I had inadvertently never featured Bob Marley on the Drunkard’s pages in the past 2+ years. I am going to seriously […]

Off The Record is a recurring feature here on the Drunkard that will marry two of my greatest interests; music and travel. Having a locals perspective when visiting a new locale is the difference between experiencing it through the lens of a tourist and of that of a native.
Off The Record gathers some of my […]

Although it does not officially drop until late August, the New Pornographers fourth LP, Challengers, has been a pretty constant jam around these parts the past few weeks. If your into indie-pop, you are most definitely already a rabid New Pornos fan, if not, well, you might want to get on that. Like, quick.

It’s hard to express how much I really like this funky little ’70s pop song. Even before the iPod and MP3 players were all the rage, I would throw this track on mix CDs and listen to it on my portable player with headphones. I particularly remember one such occasion, years ago, running […]

Without a doubt, St. Vincent’s solo performance at Largo, this past May, stands as my favorite show thus far in 2007. Certainly high praise when you consider it was just Vincent (Annie Clark), her guitar, a kick drum, and piano.
That modest combination proved to be amazing — prompting us to say this the day after: […]

This Thursday evening, July 12th, Aquarium Drunkard presents Rocky Votolato live at The Troubadour in West Hollywood. Touring behind his latest LP The Brag & Cuss, Votolato will also be paying a visit to The Aquarium Drunkard Show, live at Little Radio on Wednesday afternoon, @ 2pm PST. Tune in as we chat […]

I’ve got three pairs of tickets to go see the Howlin’ Rain show on Saturday night at The Echo here on the Eastside. I really love these guys — it’s like a 21st century ’70s rock band, but, you know…now. If you have seen these guys before, than you know the band is […]

Sonic Youth fan? If so you’re surely aware the group is playing several dates this summer in which they will be performing their 1988 album Daydream Nation in it’s entirety. Part of All Tomorrow’s Parties Don’t Look Back Series, this is ye Holy Grail for old school indie rock fans. Here […]
