Common Holly

Fred’s new single is the over-eight-minute ”House Show, Late December,” which has him nearly in spoken word territory over an atmospheric backdrop that sounds a little like Slint.

The annual fest returns takes place in Kalamazoo, MI on September 22 & 23.

After announcing its initial schedule earlier this month, many more shows have been revealed for Brooklyn’s 10th annual Northside Festival…

The intitial Northside Festival 2018 lineup includes Protomartyr and Deerhoof (who play BrooklynVegan’s official Northside Showcase at Elsewhere), plus Ought, Flasher, Soccer Mommy, Dear Nora, Liz Phair, La Luz, Kississippi, Snail Mail, weaves, Caspian, Men I Trust, Common Holly, Empath, and more.

The place was packed like sardines with people jumping up and down, shrieking during and in between almost every song, and yelling nearly all the words. The band fed off all this energy and delivered it right back…

BrooklynVegan and Margin Walker’s free Lost Weekend 2 SXSW day parties at Cheer Up Charlies in Austin began on Thursday (3/15) with U.S. Girls, Okkervil River, Speedy Ortiz, IDLES, Shopping, Flasher, Stella Donnelly, Becca Mancari, and more.
