Interview: Holding Onto Sound

Apr 9, 2012 Posted by Emily Matview In Interviews Tagged holding onto sound Comments 2

Holding Onto Sound is undoubtedly one of Vegas’ best and hardest working punk bands and it’s always been a mystery to us why they don’t get more exposure. But after their show with NOFX at New Year’s Heave and the announcement that they’re playing the main stage at this year’s Punk Rock Bowling Music Festival, it looks like that’s about to change. Find out how they got added to Punk Rock Bowling, how the addition of Bob on second guitar rejuvenated their songs, their thoughts on moving to a bigger label, their upcoming EPs and more. ...

Last week, Punks in Vegas interviewer Tom Monahan met up with Patrick Trout for an interview. If that name doesn’t sound familiar, it’s probably because you know him as Pulsar. If you’ve been to a local show in the last ten years, you’ve definitely seen him, and there’s a pretty good chance he booked the show you were at. He’s also the bass player for recently-signed local rock band Ministry of Love. We talked to him about how the lack of a consistent medium-sized all-ages venue is damaging the scene, the new Ministry of Love EP coming out this summer, his favorite shows that he has booked and more. ...

Truth be told, we were more than a little bit excited (and nervous) when Andrew W.K. accepted our interview request. Not only are we huge fans of his music, but his positive outlook and energy have always served as inspiration. Before his March 9 show at Body English, our very own Tom Monahan sat down with the man himself to talk about the I Get Wet anniversary tour, Pitchfork giving the record a score of 0.6/10 when it was first released, not letting your soul get pushed through a cheese grater, and more. ...

Before their Feb. 16th show at The Knight Hall, Tom Monahan sat down with Nick and Jonathan Diener from Flint MI’s The Swellers to talk about how their breakup rumor got started, how Warped Tour is like summer camp and why they’re beginning to reconsider touring with such diverse bands. ...

Feb 23, 2012 Posted by Tom Monahan In Interviews Tagged kid meets cougar Comments 1

While we’re usually quite obviously of the punk persuasion here at Punks in Vegas, we listen to a lot of different types of music. And in Vegas, it’s pretty hard to find someone that doesn’t love local electro-dance duo Kid Meets Cougar. ...
