The two-tape compilation costs $10 and features unreleased tracks by Ryan Adams, Crystal Antlers, Mikal Cronin, Young Guv, the Coathangers, White Mystery, (more…)

More specifically take ‘70s metal, a touch of garage rock, some feedback and a bit of glam, and you have got yourself a party. Front woman Alex White shredded on guitar while wailing into the mic, while her brother Francis Scott Key White slammed on the drums, red curls flying in the aftermath. Closing out the night was punk rock trio Mean Jeans from Portland. Full article here.
