The A.V. Club
Bon Iver, P.O.S., Megafaun and a dozen musicians walk into a bar…
I was shocked – shocked – when I saw this on the A.V. Club homepage: New “supergroup” featuring Justin Vernon, P.O.S., members of Megafaun and The Rosebuds, et al., looks awesome, awful, awesome again Just the combination of Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and P.O.S. sent my brain into overdrive.

Tonight, Chicago’s Music Box Theatre will be present a special screening of “The Room,” with director/actor/screenwriter/producer Tommy Wiseau in attendance.

Don't Call It A Comeback
A little blog entry from a little emo band coming out of PA got me thinking: Don’t expect a reunion show! I write this because we recently celebrated our third anniversary. Three years are a long time for a band such as ours, especially when you take into consideration that many of our predecessors and … [Read more…]
