A.V. Club Austin : RX Bandits Show Feature/...
Like it or not, death eventually gets a chance to wrap its bony little fingers around every living thing. Bands, however, are fortunate enough to have some wiggle room with their time of expiration. The current status of Rx Bandits exemplifies this idea. In April, the Seal Beach, California-based four-piece announced that it’d embark on its last tour this summer—but by all indicators, the...

Ryan's Rock Show Video Interview: Le Butcherettes
Le Butcherettes frontwoman Teri Gender Bender has little patience for unenthusiastic crowds, especially ones in Arizona. Hesitant to play the band’s Mesa show on their recent stint with Deftones, Gender Bender, raised in Mexico from age 14, made it a point to mark her territory, expressing her angst towards the state’s controversial immigration law.
“I got offstage in the big...

Last night, three of the most talented bands affiliated with Sargent House came together for a show at the Troubadour. Adebisi Shank, Tera Melos and Le Butcherettes played to a mostly-packed house of SH fans, many of which were clad in various shades of flannel and/or beards.

Sled Island’s Best
Adebisi Shank at Dickin’s: Apparently this is the year where I get off on virtuosity. These Irish rockers came across like Gunther on crank, mixing tech-heavy riffs with more dance-centric drums that kept the whole thing crazy accessible. This one started with a small crowd (was everyone at the Kurt Vile church show?) but ended with a pretty packed house losing...

Le Butcherettes’ “Sin Sin Sin” is Sinfully Good
More often than not, when an album review contains the words “album of the year”; it’s fairly obvious hyperbole. However, Le Butcherettes full length debut Sin Sin Sin represents the rare occasion when “album of the year” may just be an understatement. Yeah, it’s that good. Combining the do it yourself ethics and riotous energy...

PopStache Review: Le Butcherettes Sin Sin Sin
Most of Mexico is consumed by murder and mayhem. As more police quit to save their hides, drug lords are taking over the streets. And as more immigrants passing through Mexico to the U.S. are slaughtered, soldiers are losing ground to organized crime outfits. Through all the death and destruction, there holds steady a bright and shining light swinging from an open garage door in Guadalajara....

Tera Melos, the Sacramento based three piece have built up more than a reputation for themselves in the 7 attentive years their name has been known. The band have been pushing their creativity, rightfully gaining the success they deserve following their formation in 2004; after the disbandment of Nick Reinhart and Nathan Latonas’ former outfit - No Regard. A year of intense rehearsals before...

Disrupting the Form Adebisi Shank’s sound is dangerous, ill-mannered – and irrepressibly exciting. They take apart our expectations of what a three-piece rock band can do.

Gypsyblood – Cold In The Guestway
Sargent House
From a label best known for math-rock epics and the solo work of Omar Rodriguez Lopez, this is certainly a surprise, albeit a welcome one. Gypsyblood have seemingly arrived fully-formed, armed to the teeth with atmosphere and titanium hooks from the off, exemplified in tracks like ‘In Our Blood’ and ‘My R.K.O. Is M.I.A.’. Equal parts spacey...

COS Features Hella's Headless / Fan Video
With a title like “Headless,” you’d think the official fan-made Hella video would be a little creepy. If so, you’d be right. Director Bootleg Jedi has a simple concept: film an inflatable man. But the frantic speed of the action makes it look far more disturbing than it should be. Rather than seeing the jacket slowly inflate due to an attached pump, it looks like something strange and...

Tera Melos Live Review: Brighton UK
Tera Melos - Brighton Hope, June 8, 2011
Tera Melos make angular math-rock wrought with apoplectic rhythms and dissonant twists of glorious guitar-wandering. The Sacramento trio, tonight with a fourth musician adding to the cacophony, fascinated a sizeable crowd in the Hope venue with cuts from their most recent album, Patagonian Rats – a rapturous spin on their alternative American rock...

Album review: Le Butcherettes, “Sin Sin Sin”
The most amazing act I caught at SXSW 2011—and one of the best I’ve seen by chance in a good long time, period—it was with some trepidation that I first spun Le Butcherettes’ first full album, recently released on the label started by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (Mars Volta, At the Drive-In) and featuring his production and bass playing, lest the recording fail to live up to the take-no-prisoners...
