The Fashion are back in town from Denmark and I'm being told that there will be open bar at their show at The Annex tonight from 11-12. The show is a night off from their tour with Alkaline Trio that actually does hit NYC on July 12th (at Irving Plaza).

Richard Lloyd and the Sufimonkey trio (that's Richard Lloyd of Television fame) are also playing Southpaw on July 23rd. "Richard Lloyd in the guise of Jamie Neverts has finished recording and mixing his record of Jimi Hendrix covers which will likely be released by Parasol Records in the fall. It will contain 10 songs on nine tracks."

Rob Dickinson's Fresh Wine for the Horses (deluxe 2-CD set) was released June 10, 2008 on Fontana International.

The Voodoo Experience fest announced their lineup. Modest Mouse played a very late show at Music Hall of Williamsburg.

A Storm of Light are playing with Harvey Milk at Europa tonight. Check out our interview with Josh Graham.

The Fashion

The Fashion (DK)
Rumor has it, this band was formed to make fun of the whole mainstreamo/mallcore thing, but much to their chagrin, then suddenly became immensely popular in that scene. After that, it wasn't long before the major labels came a-knockin' and then they're cashing in! Ca-ching! Seek out some of their old promo photos if you don't believe me - the matching white-belts and kerchiefs has got to be a joke, there's no other way. As for the music, they do a decent job with it, but I'd recommend you check out the drummer's "real" band Lack instead. Their new album "aturate every atom absolutely slays.
