Not to be confused with the famed WWII commando unit, the Devil's Brigade features Rancid bassist Matt Freeman on bass. Interestingly enough, the band also features Rancid guitarist/singer Tim Armstrong on guitar. Though the band is basically the same, the sound skews more psychobilly with...

Is your apartment looking a bit too much like a page from an Ikea catalog? Times are tough, and furniture is expensive. Most of us can’t throw down a paycheck or two on an armoire. Less expensive home-decorating options are available, though scarce. Said Swedish super-store usually gives...

So you play an instrument. But maybe you're not sure if you're talented. Or you think you are and want other people to know it, too. Or you want to show off a song you just wrote to that cute girl who works behind the counter. Whatever the reason, come to Musician's Open Mic Night every...
