Chris Farren recently made a stop at the Mahall’s basement on Jan. 27 to give us another perfect set from the Born Hot Tour, his first solo headlining tour, accompanied by Macseal and Retirement Party. This was my first time in the Mahall’s basement, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere from both the venue and […]

October 31st shall forever be remembered as the single most important day of 2019.

Lurking in the mysterious, rose-tinted horizon, brewing yet another psychedelic concoction is Babe Rainbow. Based out of Byron Bay, Australia, Babe Rainbow is another glorious component of the Australian psychedelic dynamo. Tame Impala remains the most recognizable figure of the blossoming scene, but a band like King Gizzard is entitled to plenty of credit. Not […]

Thee Oh Sees (Oh Sees) – Henchlock Smote Reverser was a huge leap for the Oh Sees last year, featuring dynamic sounds that were sinister and glorious.
