FREE DOWNLOAD: GNC Session 2.6.2013 (Feat. The Happiness Machine)
The last time we saw caught up with The Happiness Machine, the St. Pete-based outfit was saving us from sweltering summer heat at a release show for fellow ‘Burg-ians Alexander & The Grapes. That was almost a year ago, and on Wednesday the band teamed up with our pals at Grand National Championships to satiate our thirst for their joyous noise with a brand new GNC session. Give Ray Bradbury a digital hug too because it is a joyous session... Read More
WATCH: Permanent Makeup – Live at WMNF (GNC Session 11.28.12)
Permanent Makeup are on a tear, which makes a lot of sense. The band played their first show at a doctor’s office without ever practicing. Their song lyrics are informed by infomercials and ad copy while the tunes themselves live in the post-punk sonic territory without insulting audiences’ desire for intelligent music. SUB AP! CAL: PERMANENT MAKEUP WELCOME HOME SHOW AT VENTURE COMPOUND 12.11.12 Last month they signed to local imprint... Read More
FREE DOWNLOAD: Permanent Makeup – Permanent Makeup EP (Live at WMNF)
Wednesday is a good day. For one, it’s the middle of the work week. For seconds, it means $5 BBQ at New World Brewery. And for thirds, it means that our friends at Grand National Championships take over the airwaves at WMNF (88.5 FM is your’re local) from 8-10 p.m. An episode of GNC guarantees awkwardness, dolphin-hating, good tunes (probably some Grass Widow mixed in), and every now and then some “I’ve got a cold”...

WATCH: GNC Session 10.3.12 (Feat. The Pauses)
When The Pauses new 12″ arrived at our eardrums, we were naturally more than pleased. We even caught a few shots of the band celebrating its release, but the good men at Grand National Championships have taken that enthusiasm too another level. Tonight Alastair St. Hill & co. aired the Orlando, Fla.-based outfits GNC Session, and now video from the live session is available for your eyes to feast on. The 15-minute clip, which kicks...

FREE DOWNLOAD: GNC Session 6.6.2012 (Feat. Noctambulo)
Noctambulo — the brainchaild of June Bustamante and STOIC — create a space for listeners to exist before expounding into the experimental blend of electronic, ambient, and tribal sounds that have made them a mainstay in St. Petersburg’s vibrant musical culture. For a few moments, that energy existed within WMNF’s Mike Eisenstadt live music studio where the band put down tracks for yet another GNC Session. Strap in and... Read More
