Torche—the ‘e’ is silent—come to Tucson to promote one of the year’s best metal albums
First things first: The "e" in Torche is silent. You pronounce the name of the 4-year-old heavy-rock band as simply "torch." It’s not "tor-shay" or "tor-sha" or any froo-froo variation thereo… ContinuePosted by Tucson Weekly on November 12, 2008 at 12:30pm

WHO ARE THESE CD-RELEASERS?
A couple of years ago, I caught a gig by a then-new local band called Gaza Strip and wrote briefly about it in these pages. “Gaza Strip have obviously studied their Nirvana and Pixies textbooks,” I wrote, “but seem to have skipped the chapters… ContinuePosted by Weekly Soundbites on November 12, 2008 at 12:00pm

A sure-fire way to lose an audience at a rock concert is to utter the phrase, “This next song is on our new album.” And after hearing news of a new release from an act like ’80s goth-rock legends The Cure, most fans’ response is, “Right, so when’s the tour?”
Cure fans have reason for caution fol… Continue Posted by Weekly Rhythm and Views on November 12, 2008 at 12:30pm
Most songwriting partnerships never live up to expectations when the partners decide to go their separate ways. (Wings, anyone?)

It's slight--a tiny (and tinny) track not quite 90 seconds long--but in many ways, it represents everything about Deerhoof.
Near the end of their wonderful, brassy new album, Offend Maggie (Kill Rock Stars), Deerhoof play a little joke on listeners called “This Is God Speaking.” Over el… Continue Posted by Tucson Weekly on November 5, 2008 at 1:01pm
