Shooting the breeze with Hockey



We spent an evening with Hockey at the punk venue Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco. Before the show we met up with the guys for a quick convo on life, and things. Have a look.

Catching up on our friends 140 letters at a time

You guys follow some cool Twitterers? Are you a cool Twitterer? Hit us up! We just so happen to be on there @theradreport, and I tweet my brains out at @eddiedaroza. Sort of.

Get inside the mind of the original Maxl Rose @maxlrose. See some boobs, surf and lesbians who look like Justin Bieber.

Travis, Tim, and Rob of The Transplants just signed up at @transplantsband where they're posting about the new album.

Vice founder Gavin Mcinnes spews his "brain droppings" at his new site @street_carnage.

Make sure ur 'up to date' on relevant memes. @altreport.

Terry Richardson's studio will make you want to shoot yourself out of sheer jealousy. @terry_world.


In Bed With Har Mar Superstar





I wonder how many people have been in Har Mar Superstar's bed? If the legend is true I'm guessing a lot. We met up with the eccentric pop artist at the Phoenix Hotel the morning after his show in San Francisco; to talk about his latest album, his vodka sponsor, when he lost his virginity, and why he's in love with unicorns. Check it out.


Having a chat with V.V. Brown



V.V. Brown wrote a few songs on her debut album, Traveling Like The Light, about her break up with "one particular arsehole". It's hard to imagine anyone being an arsehole to the lively and lovely V.V., but it did happen and out of the ashes came her wonderful music.

We talked to V.V. about her songs, her nicknames, and causing a little trouble. Have a look.


Interview with AFI in Santa Cruz



In 1996 AFI rolled through Santa Cruz, California and played a $6 show for 100 people at the Vets hall. It was my first punk show and cost me six bucks. Fourteen years later I told Jade and Hunter that story as we sat in their bus five blocks down the road from the venue they played way back when. This time through Santa Cruz they have two platinum albums under their belt and another gold doesn't look far off.

 We caught up with AFI in Santa Cruz, Calif., and talked to them about their new album (Crash Love), their new music video (Beautiful Thieves), Hunter's shoes and the duality of A Fire Inside. Check it out.


The Almost debuts video for Hands


Hands


The Almost | MySpace Music Videos

East Coast alternative rock band The Almost have released the brand new music video for Hands. A couple months ago we happened to speak with Dusty, Jay and Alex about the video, which was shot on the same ever-lasting day as the video for Lonely Wheel. The guys told a little about the concept: "We want it to be basically an answer to the Lonely Wheel video, because the Lonely Wheel video brings up a lot of issues in a person's life."

You can check out that interview right here:


Dirt Nasty Interview - Just As Nasty As He Wants To Be



Last weekend we hit up the Dirt Nasty show - which was a blast - and then sat down with the West Coast rapper to talk about his new album and what he's up to at the moment. Dirt's new Album, Nasty As I Want To Be, will debut this March and features tracks with Mark Ronson, LMFAO, Too Short, and many more. D.N. says the new album is "uptempo party shit" like the song '1980' from his debut.

Check it out. 


A look at the avalanche that is WOLFMOTHER



I have been to 1979 and made it out alive. A few nights ago we met up with avant-retro rockers Wolfmother at their show in Oakland, Calif. All I can say about the concert is when a particular guitar hero recently described their performance as just "like an avalanche on your head" he wasn't joking. My bell is still ringing.

We tagged along with bassist Ian Pares. Asked him a few questions about life. Check it out.


Hanging with The Almost

Last weekend we happened to catch up with alternative rock band The Almost at the Warfield in San Francisco, when they cruised into town on their tour with The Used. We hopped on the bus with 'em and talked about their new album (Monster Monster), their next music video (Hands), who cooks dinner on tour and what's up with a few other things in their lives. Check it out - always good times!


Shwayze's On The Phone



Just before Shwayze took off for their current tour we happened to nail 'em down for a phone call and discuss all the killer stuff they have going on right now. Their new album Let It Beat debuted in the iTunes top ten, their Party Rock Tour with LMFAO is one giant great party, and basically everything going on is just plain fun. Soundtracked. Have a listen.
