Roar! Kata Rokkar news! Okay…so this September is jam packed with upcoming shows and little updates here and there.

XChannel and Totally Fuzzy have recently been so kind as to add us to their blog roll. The sites are literally oversized mp3 blog databases. Feel free to browse through their library of unique mp3 blogs and discover some interesting tunes.

Yesterday I created a to promote the site and let like-minded people discuss whatever they feel like. So go ahead and become a fan. You will instantly become cooler, seriously.

This weekend I will be attending Day One of the Treasure Island Music Festival which includes Justice, TV on the Radio, Foals, Amon Tobin, Aesop Rock, CSS, and many others. More on that tomorrow…

On the 25th I’ll be at the Woven record release show at the Rockit Room in San Francisco. The interview with lead vocalist Ory Hodis will be up sometime next week.

My entire collection of photos from the Outside Lands Music Festival is right here.

Well the Ipod commercials have yet again made some random indie band hit mainstream status once again. This time around it’s Chairlift. This electro-folk trio hails from (obviously) Boulder, Colorado and is making me even more excited for snowboard season. I digress; if you’re into a gothic version of MGMT or a modern day Siouxsie & the Banshees, look no further. This act will satisfy your chillaxing needs.

Oh yeah and the new Ipods don’t look too shabby either.
