In fact, I’ve been listening to guitarist Max Kakacek since his Smith Westerns debut and been familiar with the former Unknown Mortal ... Read More »
By Eva Love Ever since they were discovered in the subways of New York, Moon Hooch has made a name for itself as a powerful, experimental jazz trio. They’ll be playing at Doug Fir Lounge on Saturday, May 13. Tickets are still available, and I highly recommend checking them out live. The band is comprised of saxophonists Wenzl McGowen and ...

By Anna DeSmet Even in my lowly, three-semester experience of college registration, I know it sucks. It’s frustrating, lengthy and, also like some of my dates, leaves me wondering why I bothered in the first place.
