In Loving Memory of Annie Southworth
Posted on March 6, 2018 by michelle
Panache lost one of our oldest agents and colleagues this past week, our dear friend Annie Southworth. Annie had worked with Panache for nearly a decade, and our friendship spanned over 15 years. When she joined forces with Panache, she brought such powerful wisdom, strength and experience to our very young fledgling booking agency. Together we became a power house of a booking team, that was being led by women. When she joined the agency she brought over bands like Oh Sees, No Means No, Kelley Stoltz, Fresh and Onlys and many others to our roster. She was a warrior for all womankind. Her utter love of music, vitality for life and resilient attitude helped form the foundation that Panache thrives on today. The world has suffered a great loss with Annie’s passing. Too soon. #fuck cancer #getyourbodieschecked #tellyourlovedonesyoulovethem

DIY, psychedelic, primitive, lo-fi, and indie are all words used and abused to describe the current crop of Generation Y’s transgressive music makers, the aught’s response to the singular, wholly influential path laid out by countless ’90s lone wolf, road-doggin’ bands who shaped the current independent music landscape. But how many groups actually fit this model and do it any justice in 2014? read more…

Alt Citizen Interviews Amyl and The Sniffers
Jul 16, 2018
Amyl and The Sniffers are ferocious. From the speakers, their EPs are sharp, fast, and undeniably punk, such as the brilliant “I’m Not A Loser.” Live, however, things take a turn towards metal and the four-piece Australian powerhouse pummels the audience with a landslide of shredding, bass drum, and their lion of a lead singer, Amy Taylor. Rocking a mullet and vinyl platform boots, Taylor is a spitting image of the best icons of 70s glam rock while the three guys behind her (two of which also sport mullets) only concern themselves with their instruments and beer.

Jul 10, 2018
“Last month we interviewed drummer Marian Li-Pino of the SoCal indie-surf rock band La Luz, who recently toured Australia alongside that country’s progressive psych ensemble King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Marian, the good sport that she is, agreed to put on her journalist cap and report back on what drives this unlikely double-drummer-powered group.”
Marian Li-Pino of La Luz interviews King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s Eric Moore and Michael Cavanagh
Jul 10, 2018
“Eric Moore and Michael Cavanagh have known each other since they were in their teens, playing in nurturing musical communities before finding success in the ornately technical and mosh invoking seven-piece Melbourne outfit King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. “

Ty Segall and White Fence share new collaborative single, “Body Behavior”: Stream
Jul 9, 2018
“Coasting on a breakneck wave of jangly guitars and pummeling percussion, the song serves as a showcase for the duo’s dovetailing vocal styles, which operate independently before colliding for a burst of quick, cathartic beauty.”
Ty Segall and White Fence Release New Single "Body Behavior"
Jul 9, 2018
“Today, Segall and Tim Presley have shared another single, “Body Behavior,” which is a light and psychedelic slice of taut pop. “Can’t see past your blue skies/ Can’t see past your dark skies,” they lilt out in the chorus.”

Jun 29, 2018
You’re driving somewhere south of Tijuana and north of Cabo. A dirt road stretches to the horizon and the only visual in the rear view mirror is a wall of dust. The perfect soundtrack: Warm Drag.
Brooklyn Vegan Premieres Warm Drag on Bill’s Indie Basement
Jun 29, 2018
Warm Drag is the duo of Paul Quattrone, who is currently one of Oh Sees’ two drummers, and former K Holes/Golden Triangle vocalist Vashti Windish. Paul creates noise and beats via samplers and guitars, while Vashti wails/coos over top. Together they’re a cinematic, freak-beat, kraut-rockin’ psych-out that refuses to be pigeonholed.

Vents Magazine Introduces Warm Drag With Lead Single Cave Crawl
Jun 28, 2018
Warm Drag are a musical two piece. A two-sided conversation. Two devils on your shoulders, one of them telling you to take that drug, sleep with that person and steal that car. The other devil is whispering that you should hit the reverb pedal and turn the volume alllll the way up. Warm Drag listen to both devils. And they are bringing their samplers-and-switchblade post-noir noise disco to you this summer via In The Red.

Raven Sings The Blues Features Michael Rault on Billy Nicholls – Love Songs
Jun 21, 2018
There have been many great surprises this year, but the latest album from Michael Rault is quite possibly among the best. Rault refashioned his sound in the guise of ‘70s pop with a soft heart, echoing the Apple records stable if they’d been mixing it up down in Memphis with Big Star and The Hot Dogs. Its easily the best power pop album to find its way to your speakers in 2018.

Ad Hoc Interviews Deeper
Jun 5, 2018
“Chicago natives Deeper are a patient and dedicated bunch. They spent almost two years holed up in their practice space, crafting their self-titled debut with friend and engineer Dave Vettraino, who has worked with Melkbelly and Damien Jurado. The result is a jangly post-punk treasure, shimmery gold and all.”
Pitchfork Reviews Deeper's Debut Album
Jun 4, 2018

May 31, 2018
“If you’re a fan of off-kilter, post-punk rock, then Deeper is just the band for you. The Chicago rockers have one album to their name already, 2016’s Transmogrified, and have upped the ante this year on their self-titled record.”
Chicago Tribune Features Deeper w/ Interview
May 31, 2018
“On Deeper’s debut self-titled record (which dropped last week on New York’s Fire Talk Records), the band employs many different sonic styles, from the spindly guitars of post-punk to the simultaneously beautiful and eerie samples of contemporary noise rock, to craft a record that sounds singular in its point of view.”
Brooklyn Vegan Reviews Deeper's Debut Album in Indie Basement Column
May 25, 2018
“Chicago band Deeper make angular guitar pop that at times sounds like like a less dour version of what Preoccupations do, though it’s probably closer to both Georgia’s Omni or Montreal’s Corridor in style and execution.”
Noisey Premiere's Deeper's Self Titled Album Stream
May 21, 2018
“The energy in Deeper’s Midwestern indie rock is palpable: It always hits at a blistering pace and not a second is wasted. With a runtime of well-under a half hour, Deeper’s self-titled debut album, which is premiering in full below before its May 25 release, is a crash course in icy efficiency.”
