After more than a decade of patiently waiting, alternative rockers nationwide are whole once more. Indie/Alternative rock gods, Pavement, have indeed reunited!
“Maybe someone’s gonna move, or not want to go on a tour for some reason–that could happen, I guess. But we’re still rehearsing and planning to make a new album next year” front man and recently renounced solo artist, Steve Malkmus, told Pitchfork.com. “It’s a labor of love, so we just do it because we like it.”

The phenomenon known as Sublime, arguably the most energetic, original and uniquely eclectic band to emerge from any scene, anywhere, ended with the untimely death of lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Brad Nowell in May of 1996. But encompassing the sense of place and purpose long associated with Sublime’s music, Badfish, a Tribute to Sublime continues to channel the spirit of Sublime with a fury not felt for some time. What separates Badfish from other tribute bands is that they have replicated Sublime’s essence, developing a scene and dedicated following most commonly reserved for label-driven, mainstream acts. Badfish make their mark on the audience by playing with the spirit of Sublime. They perform not as Sublime would have, or did, but as Badfish does!

Fanfarlo is heading back to the States, and the group just couldn’t wait to bring their catchy indie pop to Los Angeles. That’s the only reason I can come up with why they’d be kicking off their North American headline dates at El Rey February 20th—Booking agent? What booking agent—and playing a special in-store set at Amoeba Records February 18th. Sure, they’re stopping by NYC for an appearance on the David Letterman Show Monday night before making it over to the West Coast, but I still like to think they’re as excited to see us as we are to see them. Too bad LA local Robert Francis isn’t joining the tour until after SXSW.

Rise Records extensive roster of talent got just a bit more hardcore when Orange County six-piece Bleeding Through joined the pack earlier this year. After a not-so-private falling out with Trustkill Records, the group has announced that they are back in the studio recording a new album with legendary producer Zeuss to be released next year through their new label.
