#NXNEhints, 2013 Early Edition, continued...

Hint 10: Quick… Fgoert the msuoe. #NXNEhints Hint 11: Better than a trip to the Dr. #NXNEhints Hint 12: George gets punk… But can science explain Habs fans? #NXNEhints Hint 13: If money were talent, he’d have it up the proverbial y’know. #NXNEhints Hint 14: Anthemic (so to speak) and totally in their prime. Climb a wall and get to YDS. #NXNEhints

#NXNEhints, 2013 Early Edition, continued...

Hint 4: For the record, we usually go for the vinyl. Hint 5: They’re having a mammoth year. Hint 6: Slow down with these #NXNEhints? Hint 7: No skimming, prepare for loud + good times. #NXNEhints Hint 8: Because the emperor of roll doesn’t lead the railroads. #NXNEhints Hint 9: One letter turns us off - but either way, you’ll be stoked for their musical experiments....

#NXNEhints 2013

Yes, we may have some early word on a few bands playing NXNE 2013. For those who like guessing games: #NXNEhints. Hint 1: They were then they weren’t then they were, kind of. Hint 2: Close but… not exactly in the Ikea catalogue. Hint 3: Vamonos. They’re worth the trip.

FLAMING LIPS: A Day in the Life →

Our Spinner friends had a busy NXNE. They presented our Saturday street party at YDS with Oberhofer, of Montreal, Portugal. The Man, and many (many) more.

Finally, an answer to the question: “What’s it like to be Wayne Coyne for a...

METZ →

METZ rocked our face off. Seriously. We have only smooth skin covering where our eyes, nose, and lips used to be. These guys were recently signed to Sub Pop, who will be releasing their first LP this October. They’re demons onstage but are totally friendly. Check out our short chat with them, along with some footage of their Phoenix show. Warning: Hold onto your face.
