NEW YORK — It’s an unusually chilly afternoon when I interview Camila Grey and Leisha Hailey, collectively known as electro-pop duo Uh Huh Her, in the lounge of their midtown Manhattan hotel. Since there’s no driving or playing on the schedule, their tour manager explains, it’s the first true “day off” the ladies have had in weeks. But you’d never know it. [...]
It’s not easy to talk about Chad Perrone without recalling his seven-year membership in one of Boston’s favorite unsigned bands, Averi. Nor is it right to overlook his dramatic exit that shocked both Perrone and Averi fans alike.
Three years later, no one is really sure as to the real cause behind the lineup change. Rumors [...]
One might assume that the members of indie quintet Eisley are given a hero’s welcome when they return to their suburban hometown of Tyler, Texas between touring. After all, the group (four siblings and their cousin) has toured with the likes of Coldplay and Snow Patrol, earned critical acclaim for their sophomore effort, last year’s “Combinations,” and had a song from the record featured on MTV juggernaut “The Hills” - all while most of them were still in or barely out of their teens.

Singer Bryan Webb offers his thoughts on the Canadian Invasion of late during an interview before the band’s show at New York’s Mercury Lounge last month.
Rachel Stolte, one third of L.A.-based trio Great Northern, has no misgivings about her band “selling out” or losing their proverbial “indie cred.” On the contrary, Stolte displays a refreshing enthusiasm as she speaks excitedly about the fact that her band’s song “Home,” off of their debut album Trading Twilight for Daylight, was featured in [...]
Even though Sune Rose Wagner has hundreds of finished and unfinished songs “lying around” his home studio in New York’s East Village, the prolific songwriter — one half of Danish duo The Raveonettes — finds it impossible to compose on the road. (“There’s people all over,” he laments.) Wagner, along with bandmate Sharin Foo and [...]
Some people may find the sight of diminutive songwriter Kaki King lugging around a guitar case a bit incongruous. And unfortunately, they’re often not shy about pointing it out.
“I walk through the airport with a guitar case … and like half the time, swear to God, some douchebag’ll be going, ‘Oh, you gonna play us [...]
Ditching a tenured seat in the Houston Symphony to pursue a dream as a recording artist terrified Christine Wu.
But on the cusp of 30, she knew it was the only way to go. “All or nothing,” Wu said in a recent interview. “And it scares the crap out of me, probably almost every day.”
Switching from [...]
A look at and a talk with the Swill Merchants, a New England rock band that’s on the move and carries a strong following.
Sara Quin wouldn’t want to date herself … or any other musician, for that matter.
