Concert Review: Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks

By Jester Jay Goldman
February 20, 2014
in :  Concert Reviews, Music, Music Features

Step one for rock show domination: soften up the crowd a little. Detroit punk trio Tyvek took on the task with ferocity.

These excellent records fell just short of our Top 20 of 2011 list. The Antlers- Burst Apart [Frenchkiss] I suspect I’m not the only one who slowly scrolled through this very site’s Top 20 Albums of 2011 feature a few times in a vain attempt to locate Burst Apart.

By Joe Clinkenbeard
August 25, 2011
in :  Music, Music Reviews, Recommended Music

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks Mirror Traffic Rating: 4.0/5.0 Label: Matador Mirror Traffic marks a milestone for Stephen Malkmus’s post-Pavement solo conduit, his outfit with the Jicks. A decade in age and five albums strong, excepting 2005’s Face the Truth which was almost fully solo, he and the Jicks have been tooling around with his trademark noodly guitar and lyrical …
