Stacked heels, glam Gucci ensembles and delightfully lascivious asides, Måneskin’s Saturday Night Live debut stunned. It was tamer than the quartet’s club show at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom gig in October, where bassist Victoria De Angelis played with only black electrical tape over her nipples and frontman Damiano David spat water (Iggy Pop-style) into […]

Before he heads out on the road as part of Eddie Vedder’s Earthlings next week, Klinghoffer shared a new Pluralone single titled “Claw Your Way […]

Especially, of course, for any composer with a deep misanthropic streak, like Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, the frontman for the quirk-rocking, lower-case eels. He’s no stranger to tragedy, like the early death of his renowned physicist father, Hugh Everett III, […]
