Old Questions, New Answers
By Matt Crawford (09/11/2009)

" Nobody likes going back to work after a vacation, and Victoria Hesketh, better known as UK-electropop sensation Little Boots, is no exception. SF Station caught up with her during a phone interview from a London hotel, where she found herself swamped in promotional duties after a weeklong holiday. She returns San Francisco for a show at The Independent on September 19th. Her debut EP Illuminations was released in June and her first LP Hands (already available in the UK) is set for release in the U.S. later this year. "

Unusual & Unexpected
By Matt Crawford (08/21/2009)

" Mew’s brand of rock, with its multiple layers, time changes and unconventional arrangements, is hard to categorize. Perhaps that’s why the Danish band found it hard to name its fifth album with a simple word or phrase. The group returns to the U.S. on the eve of the release of No more stories, are told today, I’m sorry, they washed away, No more stories, the world is grey, I’m tired, Let’s wash away for a string of solo gigs and dates opening for unlikely bedfellows Nine Inch Nails. See Mew in San Francisco at The Independent on September 4th. Jonas Bjerre (vocals/guitar) spoke with SF Station during a phone interview from Copenhagen. "

Out of this World
By Matt Crawford (07/30/2009)

" With the 40th anniversary of the moon landing just weeks behind us, San Francisco gets a landing of its own when production duo N.A.S.A. touches down with its Intergalactic Circus tour on August 15th at The Independent. The group’s debut LP The Spirit of Apollo was released earlier this year with a star-filled list of guest appearances, including David Byrne, Karen O, the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Santigold and several others. SF Station caught up with Squeak E. Clean, who forms N.A.S.A. with DJ Zegon, during a phone interview before a recent show in Berlin. "
