Interview with Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins
Featured on BrowardPalmBeach.com Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has a thousand stories to tell. The group’s only remaining original member helped found the Pumpkins in 1988 after relocating to his native Chicago from none other than St. Petersburg, Florida. He’d moved to the Sunshine State briefly in ’85 after graduating from high school because he…

Interview with CocoRosie
Featured on BrowardPalmBeach.com Sierra and Bianca Casady are hard to pin down. The sisters’ output as CocoRosie — the increasingly electro-styled folk project with nods to European television, Native American chants, Victorian operettas, and Hipstamatic photographs — still gets tagged as freak-folk, and it’s all over the map.

Smashing Pumpkins at Revolution Live 7/20
Although D’arcy, James, and Jimmy left the band many moons ago, it’s hard to hide loyalty for the Smashing Pumpkins original lineup.

They infuse…

Dashboard Confessional’s Swiss Army Romance Tenth Anniversary at Revolution 11/27
Featured on BrowardPalmBeach.com Dashboard Confessional frontman Chris Carrabba had his work cut out for him last night. Why?

LCD Soundsystem at Private MOCA Los Angeles Beach Party 12/1
It’s pretty hard to properly assess what an art crowd’s reaction is going to be to a dance-all-night band like LCD Soundsystem, especially when tables and chairs are laid out across the “dance floor.” Would the crowd rush to the stage and dance without a care in the world? Would they sit in their chairs…

The Man Behind 10K Islands: Will Suter
Featured on MiamiNewTimes.com The man behind Miami-based record label 10K Islands, Will Suter, is a full-time business man. He’s also a part-time jetsetter. “I technically live in Washington, D.C.,” he explains. “But I also stay in New York and Miami.” It seems almost impossible to run a label — organizing distribution, publicity, and marketing; and…
