"Sleeping Giant":

Long time friends of Ohmpark, Parade, have announced their show tonight at Lenny's is going to be their last. They still have a new forthcoming album in June, but are not planning to do any shows in support of it apparently. This is very sad news for us, so here's some Parade tracks to jam and if you never caught them, go see them tonight while you still have a chance.

Parade : The P EP : Slow Tuesday

Parade : A Red Button : Penelope Shoes

Parade : Answer Me EP : That's Hott

You can stream the new Portishead album here.

Coachella will be webcasting performances this weekend here.

Download a new NIN song here.

Blood On The Wall will be at The Earl on May 13th.

Jambase has a really great piece on Akron/Family, who we love.

The AthFest line-up is out, and notables include Dark Meat, Cinemehanica, We Vs. The Shark, Elf Power, Twin Tigers, Venice Is Sinking, and Dubconscious. The fest is going down June 18-22 in Athens, Ga.
