Halloween: When The Dead Rise…

BACK IN ACTIONRising from the grave, it’s Cannibal Cheerleader, here to award the faithful and punish the nonbelievers! But seriously folks I’m back and ready to report. Grad school apps still stretch to the horizon but I miss my little corner of the internet to stay away any longer.

A few changes:1. No more quick bites! [...]

Lust and Power

NEW MARNIE STERN SONGHello Cannibal Cheerleader faithful, today we bring you a new track called “Shea Stadium” from Marnie Stern’s upcoming album the lengthily-titled This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That. [...]

Quick Bite 13 – Lol-Cat

CAT POWER AT LOLLAPALOOZA Sorry to everyone for the late and increasingly smaller updates (I’m in the process of moving and getting the zine together) and apologies to everyone for not being able to cover Lollapalooza for the Austin crowd. Frankly, the thing about the biggest concert festival in the US this year is that [...]

Stars and Planets

BLOC PARTY REVEAL “MERCURY”Yesterday we posed the question ‘what do our favorite Gang of Four indebted dance-rockers Bloc Party have up their sleeve?’. Today we have our answer as Bloc Party’s radio announcement was for a new single entitled “Mercury” (the video for which you can view below). Reports are vague as to if this [...]

Pink, Like the Drink

PINK NASTY LIVE AT MOHAWKPink Nasty’s show Saturday night at the Mohawk was sadly, sparsely attended. However, that didn’t stop PN and her excellent backing band from delivering the hits, from Mold the Gold favorites like “Away Message” to new tracks like the garage-rock goodness of “Curses”. Sounding more like an alt-country songstress than her [...]

NASTY AND AWKWARD

BE YOUR OWN PET LIVE IN AUSTINWith a playlist cut mainly from their excellent sophomore LP Get Awkward, Nashville’s Be Your Own Pet ripped Austin a new one last night at Stubb’s. Their wiry punk instrumentation took great liberties with the venue’s sound system, morphing their jangly high-school vignettes into wall-of-sound monsters of terror and [...]

Make Waves

In other news Doherty has posted a new tune [...]

Blogging Today From Under the Covers

AN APOLOGY FROM CHAN OF CAT POWERIt’s true, today I am blogging to you faithful Cheerleader followers from under my covers. I’m feeling a little down in the dumps as well as under the weather (heck throw in ‘feelin low’ while you’re at it) so I figured I’d do a little update on my favorite [...]

Open Hearts, Hardcore Times

CONVERGE IN AUSTIN Tonight’s Converge show at Red 7 here in Austin definitely renewed my faith in the hardcore scene. You can get bogged down in lame, crust-punk bands with no sense of integrity or unity to the punk ethos, but then you see great bands like these tonight (Converge, Red Chord, etc.) that [...]
