Were you there last night? Mayday Parade ROCKED the House of Blues Sunset Strip & we couldn't get enough. Although I love their new album with songs liiiike "Kids In Love" & "Anywhere But Here," there is nothing like hearing the first few notes of "Jamie All Over." So good. Our boys in There For Tomorrow killlled it as well. (Remember, Warped 2009?) And we have to give it up to Stereo Skyline, Rocket, & We The Kings for a great night. Below are a few pictures I snapped during their set.


For the crazies who haven't heard of Mayday Parade, here's a little taste of what you're missing out on. They're latest album is out now and only a few bucks, so if I were you, I'd pick it up.

Loch Lomond's new EP titled Night Bats is out TODAY, November 10! Recorded in August after a year on the road that included stints with the Decemberists, Blitzen Trapper, Blind Pilot and headlining runs, the band headed back to Portland to produce a handful of new songs on their own. They brought in Portland mastermind Tucker Martine (Sufjan Stephens, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, REM) for his mixing touches, and thus Night Bats was born. It includes 4 new songs from the band as well as a cover of the Bee Gees' "Holiday". The EP as a whole sounds BIG at times, bizarre at others. Beautiful all around. And as Paste Magazine said it best: "If you can't get enough of the spiritual children of Nick Drake (Iron and Wine, Bon Iver, Sun Kil Moon, Alexi Murdoch), Portland Oregon's Loch Lomond is your new favorite band.

Don't miss out when they come through your town!
