Review & Photos: Overseas, Radar Brothers @ Bottom of the Hill
I fell in love with Will Johnson in Austin in 2003. My first daughter was 9 months old. Will graciously 'volunteered' for an impromptu video interview at the Red Eyed Fly and offered this advice to my baby: 'eat your carrots and take care of your dad.' Good advice. He was a regular at SXSW for many years playing with Centro-matic, South San Gabriel and solo in the rain. I was hooked. In 2006, Will played with David Bazan (Pedro the Lion), Mark Eitzel (American Music Club) and Vic Chesnutt in The Undertow Orchestra, with each member playing their own [...]

Review & Photos: Radar Brothers, Man/Miracle, Mist and Mast @ Rickshaw Stop 6/24/10
I ended up at Dan Sung Sa again, a rare late night eatery in Oakland, and a new personal fave. They are open evenings only from 6pm-2am. The walls are plastered with vintage Korean movie posters and most of the seats are in cute little curtained booths. If you find yourself in Oakland after midnight, check them out at 2775 Telegraph. The spicy pork is delicious. The menu is extensive and includes chicken gizzards, snail salad and yogurt soju! Just prior, LA based Radar Brothers played the Rickshaw Stop (for the very first time). The crowd was small but the [...]
