Viva Voce come out of hibernation to embark on a spring tour and perform new songs in anticipation of their upcoming new album entitled Rose City which is due out May 26th. Supporting them is Rafter (Asthmatic Kitty) and the Shaky Hands (Kill Rock Stars). I've waited to shoot this show since January when the […]
This Portland band pretty much had it in the bag by winning the Williamette Weekly "Best New Band" poll a couple years back. Their self-titled debut set them on a course previously traveled by beloved Oregon bands Talkdemonic, Copy, and the Barsuk-beholden Menomena. Nick Delf's contemporarily unspecifically cranky vocals crooned over his polyrhythmic tumbles on guitar, […]
Tonight there's a really great show at the Tractor. This is what I wrote in my entry for KEXP's blog (at least the unedited draft I submitted): The Acorn is a prolific, Dylan-inspired folk rock band from Ottawa that I’m sure John McCain doesn’t like them on name alone. They write deep, introspective songs on […]
In my inbox this morning I received the following message from Kevin Robinson of Viva Voce (admitedly, it was a press release, not a personal email, but I can dream). I'm going to share the full contents verbatim, but the spoilers — a full band version of Viva Voce called Blue Giant, with a live […]
We gathered our imaginary staff to determine our collective Northwest favorites for 2007. It was hard work. Imaginary battles were fought, alliances formed, and finally, winners emerged. You should have seen the way that imaginary Liz can arm wrestle, and how Erik Gonzalez can duke it out for his favorite bands. It was fierce and […]
I have so many favorites for 2007 that narrowing the lists was tricky. Plus I’m preggo as a house and have NO memory at this point, so I’m sure I’ve inadvertently omitted some really great releases and songs. Forgive me and my wacked out hormones. But that said, here are some Top of 2007 lists […]

Picking up where we left off in CMJ 2007 part one… After my Thursday afternoon with Yo Majesty and Elk City, I headed over to the White Rabbit to meet up with Fat Asian Baby again and watch Georgia band Dead Confederate, whose moody and dramatic indie rock soundscape was punctuated by dim lighting and […]

When TIG decided to host not one but two shows to celebrate our 5th birthday, we knew it would be a blast of a weekend. And we were right. We had the times of our imaginary lives, and we owe it all to you… well, and to the fabulous bands who played (BOAT, the Shaky […]
A huge HUZZAH and THANKS BUNCHES to all the fine publications who've given a bit of love to our two birthday shows this weekend, and to the awesome bands who are playing at them: KEXP blog: "This weekend you can celebrate five fun and informative years with the Three Imaginary Girls at the their 5th […]
