At 7:30 p.m. last Monday, Memorial Day, Vundabar, Dante Elephante, and Shoot the Mariner jammed through the second week of KCPR’s pledge drive. The venue was the Grange Hall at the south end of town. A small venue, the dance hall provided an intimate show for all fans who came...
Ska: Mixing Reggae, Rock and Jazz into one monumental commotion. Sacramento based band La Noche Oskura encapsulates the nature of fourth-wave ska, the most recent direction the genre has stepped in. Drummer Christian Kelleher took the time to answer a few questions in regards to the their unique...
The last year has been a sort of living hell for Nothing. From disparate connections with the infamous pharmaceutical price-gouger Martin Shkreli, to sudden deaths in the family and a near-fatal beating, it has been a tumultuous time — to say the least. As if that’s not been...
If you missed the morning newscast last Saturday because you were still half-sleeping your hangover away, or your roommates are too broke to pay for cable, there was a debacle on KTLA in Los Angeles. One of their broadcasters, Liberte Chan, upset viewers with a dress deemed inappropriate...
“No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists…The necessity that he shall conform, that he shall cohere, is not one-sided; what happens when a new work of art...
Even if you haven’t heard the name Chris Cohen, you might have inadvertently heard him somewhere else. The LA-based musician was once a drum player for Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti and Deerhoof. Although he is a highly adaptive musician capable of a breadth of styles ranging from noise...
As a member of a band that’s played Coachella and Pitchfork festivals, has over 70,000 likes on Facebook, and released a third full-length album at the end of last year, you’d have to be pretty fearless, pretty selfless, or pretty stupid to release your personal phone number in...
Yes, this is a feminist article. No, I won’t tell you that I hate straight men. As a self-proclaimed feminist, one of the most frustrating things is when someone preaches feminism so hard and so fast that it goes from “women deserve more than 77 cents to the...
I first heard Beach House by accident when I was in 8th grade, wafting out of my older brother’s room. It was “Walk in the Park” off of their 2010 album, Teen Dream. In the song, Victoria Legrand sings about losing someone you love and what it’s like...
In contemporary mathematics, the concept of a floating point is used to describe a series of numbers that surround a decimal place — numbers that aren’t fixed in space, numbers that float. In a culture that reveres efficiency at the expense of true, meditative thought — efforts to...
Vaporwave is that ironic-meme-Roman-bust-Windows-95 genre that just sounds like slowed down music, right? Sort of? To take from WolfensteinOSX’s wonderful video, “Vapourwave: A Brief History,” “[Vaporwave] began as an ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ that was popularized by an obsession with 80s and 90s subculture, using glitch art, early digital graphic design, roman...
ASI and KCPR joined forces last Friday to put on Battle of the Bands; the event’s atmosphere encapsulated California’s Central Coast in atmosphere and talent. The skies above San Luis Obispo offered rain, backed off, then showered the town again, all before the 6 p.m. start time. As...
I’ll never forget my interview to get into KCPR. I was led, admittedly nervous and a little sweaty, into the station and told to sit on the infamous red couch as six interviewers were positioned at a table in front of me. One by one, they each asked...
Growing up in Sacramento was weird. At just over 400,000 people, I never knew whether to treat it as a booming metropolis or a tiny town. Of, course it was always somewhere in the middle, exhibiting characteristics of both. However, these characteristics always manifested themselves in weird ways....
