Lollapalooza 2009 Was For The Kids

in
By Mike McCann (CHARTattack) August 14, 2009 3:54 pm
Festivals like last weekend's Lollapalooza are supposed to be irresistible to music fiends. You know, like Yogi Bear can't say no to a picnic basket.

Fleet Foxes Sound Perfect At Massey

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) August 5, 2009 4:32 pm
If any group should be labeled psych-folk, it's Fleet Foxes' handpicked opener, Dungen.

By Jon Pappo (CHARTattack) January 31, 2012 12:48 pm
There are always inklings of uninhibited rage and hysteria teeming underneath the deadpan Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza, but in the newest video from former Fleet Foxes drummer J. Tillman, Plaza displays her insanity in full force. And somehow I think I’m even more in love with her. The video (which can be seen over at EW) finds...
