Well, if not, there’s still time to rectify your mistake and buy tickets to Crystal Antlers at Mohawk tomorrow. You can do that <a href="http://mohawk.queueapp.com/events/942" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">right here</span></a>. On the heels of a solid, and decidedly Saturday night rock-worthy, album <em>Nothing Is Real</em>, Crystal Antlers will headline the indoor stage at Mohawk and be supported by solid local acts The Zoltars and Hundred Visions. Warning: I’d be willing to part with your face if you’re heading out to this one, because it’s likely to be melted. Stream music from all three bands below.

The post will feature a local show, a touring act, an album to check out released during the week, and a track and video we’re particularly digging. Show recommendations and new things to watch and hear all in one spot. Here’s our first edition of the Weekly Rundown.</p> <p><strong>LOCAL SHOW:</strong><br /> Mirror Travel, Suspirians, RF Shannon<br /> Where: Hotel Vegas<br /> When: TONIGHT October 15th, 10:00 PM<br /> Tickets: Available at the door</p> <p>We’ve been <a title="Interview: Mirror Travel on Their New Record and Falling in Love with Marfa" href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/2012/12/21/interview-mirror-travel-on-their-new-record-and-falling-in-love-with-marfa/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">keeping up with Mirror Travel</span></a> over the months leading up to the release of their newest effort <em>Mexico</em>, which is out today on Modern Outsider. The noise pop trio celebrates the release of the album tonight at Hotel Vegas. As we said regarding the <a title="Balmorhea, Mirror Travel, and Jess Williamson at Mohawk Live Review" href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/2013/08/19/balmorhea-mirror-travel-and-jess-williamson-at-mohawk-live-review/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">last show</span></a> where caught them, this band is something to see live.

Stream their song “I Want You to Know” from <em>Mexico</em> below.</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/95894962" height="166" width="100%" frameborder="no" scrolling="no"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>TOURING SHOW:</strong><br /> Crystal Antlers, The Zoltars, Hundred Visions<br /> Where: Mohawk (Indoors)<br /> When: Saturday, October 19th — Doors at 9:00 PM<br /> Tickets: $10 Advance, $12 Door — <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://mohawk.queueapp.com/events/942" target="_blank">Available here</a></span></p> <p>Crystal Antlers’s new album of powerful indie rock is out today on Innovative Leisure.

McCombs has created upbeat indie rock, soft introspective folk, and (more recently) artful arrangements that almost disappear in a haze of subtle beauty. On <em>Big Wheel and Others</em> McCombs does it all and he does it expertly. Full review later this week. For now, hear two tracks from the album below.</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/110938851" height="166" width="100%" frameborder="no" scrolling="no"></iframe></p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F106516660&secret_token=s-gMzRt" height="166" width="100%" frameborder="no" scrolling="no"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>TRACK: </strong>Tycho – “Awake”</p> <p>Electronic artist Tycho has released a pulsing new track that balances between upbeat snares and dreamy synths. Perfect for that morning drive, the song is called “Awake,” and is the first single to emerge from a yet to be titled full-length record that will see release next year. As for this single, it’s available now from Ghostly International.</p> <p>In related news, if we haven’t told you yet, we’re all about everything Fun Fun Fun Fest, so the fact that Tycho will be performing come the second weekend in November has us extra pumped for this track. If you haven’t purchased your tickets for Fun Fun Fun yet, we propose you stop being dumb, and do so. Listen to Tycho’s “Awake” below.</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F115300435" height="166" width="100%" frameborder="no" scrolling="no"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>VIDEO:</strong> Matthew Squires and the Learning Disorders – “Song For a Future Phoenix”</p> <p>As with any music blog, we receive a tremendous amount of unsolicited emails and submissions. However, perhaps none have been so adorably strange or earnest as those we sometimes receive from Matthew Squires. Squires just released a new album earlier this month under the moniker Matthew Squires and the Learning Disorders, and now he’s sharing the first video to emerge from that collection of songs.</p> <p>The strange, nighttime, fireside video for “Song for a Future Phoenix” features eerie make-up and burning skulls. However, it works conjointly with a song that encourages forward progress and rebirth. As we have seen with Squires before, the songwriter has a penchant for embracing both the joy and misery of life. “To be a phoenix you first must become ash,” he sings, “and that fire has been lit so stop trying to clutch the past, my friend.” With his rocked up folk and nasally vocals, Squires shares a musical kinship with artists such as Jason Anderson, Kimya Dawson, or Paul Baribeau. Watch “Song for a Future Phoenix” below.</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BBhf6TfnOP8" height="285" width="460" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>SXSW Day 4 with Flaming Lips, Kendrick Lamar, and Phosphorescent</title> <link>https://www.poppressinternational.com/2013/03/19/sxsw-day-4-with-flaming-lips-kendrick-lamar-and-phosphorescent/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Bryan Parker]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 19 Mar 2013 17:25:21 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[BLOG]]></category> <category><![CDATA[FEATURES]]></category> <category><![CDATA[LIVE MUSIC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[#sxsw]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bella Russia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dana Falconberry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Flaming Lips]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hundred Visions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jim James]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kendrick Lamar]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kid Congo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lowercase Letters]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Phosphorescent]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ringo Deathstarr]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Shark Week]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Solange]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Sour Notes]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.poppressinternational.com/?p=6797</guid> <description><![CDATA[After hustling all morning to get some photos up and edited of day three, I made my way down to Sidebar where DC vs. Austin, hosted by Pop Press International and Side One...]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bella_Russia_at_Sidebar-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6800" alt="Bella_Russia_at_Sidebar-1" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bella_Russia_at_Sidebar-1-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bella_Russia_at_Sidebar-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bella_Russia_at_Sidebar-1-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bella_Russia_at_Sidebar-1-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>After hustling all morning to get some photos up and edited of day <a title="Full Coverage: SXSW Day 3 with Flaming Lips, Alt-J, and Solange" href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/2013/03/18/full-coverage-sxsw-day-3-with-flaming-lips-alt-j-and-solange/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">three</span></a>, I made my way down to Sidebar where DC vs. Austin, hosted by Pop Press International and <a href="http://www.sideonetrackone.com" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Side One Track One</span></a>, was already underway. I kicked myself for missing the excellent Letting Up Despite Great Faults (although I had already caught them at our Cheer Up Charlie’s show on <a title="SXSW 2013 Highlights Day 1 feat. Local Natives, Body Parts, and Social Studies" href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/2013/03/13/sxsw-2013-highlights-day-1-feat-local-natives-body-parts-and-social-studies/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Day 1</span></a>), and started snapping a few photos of the blazing instrumentals laid down by Bella Russia.</p> <p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Sour_Notes_at_Sidebar-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-6830" alt="Sour_Notes_at_Sidebar-2" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Sour_Notes_at_Sidebar-2-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Sour_Notes_at_Sidebar-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Sour_Notes_at_Sidebar-2-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Sour_Notes_at_Sidebar-2-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>If feels a bit strange to call a show you host coverage of a SXSW day, but at the same time, I feel proud that our show, which ostensibly pitted bands from the nation’s capital against bands from our state’s capital, reflected many of the very things in which SXSW is rooted: comradery, global community, and hometown artists. All day, a lighthearted spirit of competition punctuated the stage banter from bands, with each side claiming victory. <a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Ringo_Deathstarr-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6827" alt="Ringo_Deathstarr-1" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Ringo_Deathstarr-1-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Ringo_Deathstarr-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Ringo_Deathstarr-1-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Ringo_Deathstarr-1-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Of course, I have to say with the glimmering dream pop of Letting Up Despite Great Faults, the pummeling garage of Hundred Visions and The Bad Lovers, the textured indie-rock of Sour Notes, Dana Falconberry’s hauntingly beautiful folk, and the distorted and airy pop of Ringo Deathstarr–Austin was the clear winner.</p> <p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Kid_Congo_at_Sidebar-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-6821" alt="Kid_Congo_at_Sidebar-1" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Kid_Congo_at_Sidebar-1-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Kid_Congo_at_Sidebar-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Kid_Congo_at_Sidebar-1-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Kid_Congo_at_Sidebar-1-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>On the DC front, Lowercase Letters delivered a soulful indie-rock performance that satisfied and the surfy pop of Shark Week sounded outstanding. But DC’s claim to fame had to be Kid Congo and the Pink Monkeybirds featuring Brian Tristan, integral member of quintessential bands such as The Cramps and The Gun Club. One of my favorite moments of the day had to be when Kid Congo informed the audience that the next song would be on the band’s forthcoming record and posed the question: “What if the killer was Phyllis Diller?” This question launched the group into an up-tempo 50’s rock inspired tune.</p> <p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Kendrick_Lamar-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6815" alt="Kendrick_Lamar-3" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Kendrick_Lamar-3-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Kendrick_Lamar-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Kendrick_Lamar-3-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Kendrick_Lamar-3-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>I took a break around mid day to swing by SPIN’s party at Stubb’s–one of the festival’s most steadfast and consistently outstanding parties. To be honest, I was a little bummed I couldn’t hang around and see the whole lineup, which delivered great artists like Chvrches, Solange, and Parquet Courts. I did get to hear Solange’s set, but stayed out of the photo pit to ensure a prime spot when Kendrick Lamar took the stage. (I must briefly say that the single Solange photo in the below gallery is from a single shot that I just took to test light settings for Kendrick Lamar, taken from several rows out of the photo pit.) Lamar performed a hard-hitting set that featured highlights from his wildly successful <em>good kid m.A.A.d. city</em><em>. </em>I would have loved to stick around for Trinidad James, but I had to get back to hosting at Sidebar. Next year, I have to remember not to schedule anything on Friday, which should be reserved for SPIN day.</p> <p>After three-and-a-half days of SXSW, the festival was beginning to take it’s toll. I had to take a few extra minutes resting and getting some food before I headed down to Auditorium Shores for Jim James and Flaming Lips. I missed the opportunity to photograph James, but heard the end of his set, which included “A New Life,” the single from his recent solo album.</p> <p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Flaming_Lips_March_15-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6808" alt="Flaming_Lips_March_15-4" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Flaming_Lips_March_15-4-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Flaming_Lips_March_15-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Flaming_Lips_March_15-4-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Flaming_Lips_March_15-4-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Geared up to shoot the Flaming Lips for a <a title="Full Coverage: SXSW Day 3 with Flaming Lips, Alt-J, and Solange" href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/2013/03/18/full-coverage-sxsw-day-3-with-flaming-lips-alt-j-and-solange/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">second night in a row</span></a>, I couldn’t have been more excited, especially because I assumed the large stage would provide ample space for the confetti cannons and projection screen. However, Wayne Coyne and co. decided against this for a second night in a row, leaving me with ambivalent feelings. On one hand, the set, which consisted of playing <em>The Terror</em> in its entirety proved amazing, emphasized by Coyne cradling a babydoll with dozens of plastic, lighted chords stretching across the stage and up around the sides of the supports. <a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Flaming_Lips_March_15-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-6807" alt="Flaming_Lips_March_15-3" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Flaming_Lips_March_15-3-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Flaming_Lips_March_15-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Flaming_Lips_March_15-3-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Flaming_Lips_March_15-3-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>It was as if this child were the life force of the performance, connected to the outside listeners by a plethora of radiating umbilical chords. The spectacle marked a new visual poetry for the Flaming Lips–one defined not by joy, but by a surreal and beautiful <em>terror</em>. While this imagery remains potent and engaging, I fear that if the Lips have left behind the bright colors, the dancing, and the streamers, they just won’t hold the same power live. So, Wayne, I loved the set Friday night, but please, come back every once and a while to remind us how joyful life can be.</p> <p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Phosphorescent_SXSW-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6823" alt="Phosphorescent_SXSW-1" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Phosphorescent_SXSW-1-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Phosphorescent_SXSW-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Phosphorescent_SXSW-1-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Phosphorescent_SXSW-1-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>With running my first SXSW party with 14 bands and 1,000 free beers the following day facing me, I knew that I should probably head home for more rest than I’d been getting all week, so I made the decision to at least catch one act I really wanted to see before calling it an early night. Although, our writer Chris Witte covered Phosphorescent the night before, Matthew Houck’s band is one of my personal favorites, so I trudged from south of the river over to the Rainey St. district to catch the indie-folk outfit at Bar 96. I was impressed with the stage setup and didn’t have to wait long before Phosphorescent climbed onto it. The band performed several older songs such as the outstanding “Wolves” from <em>Pride</em> as well as quite a few from the band’s most recent <em>Muchacho</em>, which drops today. They sounded as wonderful as ever as they navigated slightly inebriated and mournful country rock tunes laden with piano.</p> <p>Even though it could be called a short day, Friday of SXSW felt enormously full and rewarding. One more massive day to go.</p> <p>All photos © Bryan Parker and Pop Press International.

It’s easy to see why–the band creates high raw, high energy post-punk full of hooks, and in a live setting they’re ferociously fun. This week, the band released a video for their song “Where Do I Sign” from their most recent album <em>Permanent Basement</em>, released at the end of last year. Featuring a stand-in cast of performers who are comedically not the lineup of Hundred Visions, the video has a crew of middle-aged rockers along with the floating head of guitarist Johnny Krueger delivering the song in front of kitschy green screen effects. Below is the band’s SXSW appearances followed by a stream of the video via YouTube.</p> <p>3/11 The Mohawk NIGHT SHOW<br /> 3/12 Cheer Up Charlie’s DAY SHOW<br /> 3/15 Side Bar DAY SHOW<br /> 3/15 Headhunter’s Patio (Metal And Lace) OFFICIAL SXSW SHOWCASE</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/roGpWlNUD_E" height="300" width="460" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Pop Press International and Side One Track One Present Austin vs. DC at Sidebar Friday March 15th</title> <link>https://www.poppressinternational.com/2013/03/05/pop-press-international-and-side-one-track-one-present-austin-vs-dc-at-sidebar-friday-march-15th/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Bryan Parker]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:24:13 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[BLOG]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UPCOMING]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dana Falconberry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DC vs. Austin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hundred Visions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kid Congo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Letting Up Despite Great Faults]]></category> <category><![CDATA[No Play Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ringo Deathstarr]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Side One Track One]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SXSW 2013]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Bad Lovers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Sour Notes]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.poppressinternational.com/?p=6551</guid> <description><![CDATA[Pop Press International is teaming up with Side One Track One and No Play Music to bring you another SXSW day show at Sidebar on Friday March 15th from 12:00PM-6:00PM.

New Year’s Eve will be no exception. No Play Music, the promotion arm operated by Sour Notes members Jared Boulanger and Amarah Ulghani have announced what is easily the best bill slated for New Year’s Eve. Held at Cheer Up Charlie’s, the event will include some of Austin’s most outstanding acts and will be headlined by Deep Time. The event will also feature some complimentary beverages for the first 100 people and a complimentary champagne toast at midnight. Below are links to places you can find info and music by each of the bands. Before that, you can watch a video for “Do You Wanna Fall In Love” by performing artist Love Inks and stream “Stoner” by Mirror Travel. The upbeat pop of Love Inks and the swirling, psych rock of Mirror Travel accentuate the divergent bills that No Play adeptly assembles. This is where we will be New Year’s Eve. Hope to see you there, too!</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WCNu4RppAok" frameborder="0" width="460" height="300"></iframe></p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" style="position: relative; display: block; width: 400px; height: 100px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/track=4028097449/size=venti/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" frameborder="0" width="400" height="100"></iframe></p> <p><strong>FACEBOOK EVENT</strong> – <a href="http://bit.ly/NYEatCHEERupCHARLIES" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/<wbr>NYEatCHEERupCHARLIES</wbr></a></p> <p><strong>DEEP TIME</strong><br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deep-Time/289440897779247?fref=ts" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deep-Time/289440897779247?fref=ts</a></p> <div><strong>HUNDRED VISIONS</strong><br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hundredvisions" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr>hundredvisions</wbr></a><br /> +<br /> <strong>LOVE INKS</strong><br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/loveinks" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr>loveinks</wbr></a><br /> +<br /> <strong>THE SOUR NOTES</strong><br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesournotes" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr>thesournotes</wbr></a><br /> +<br /> <strong>MIRROR TRAVEL</strong><br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MirrorTravel" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr>MirrorTravel</wbr></a><br /> +<br /> <strong>POMPEII</strong><br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pompeiimusic" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr>pompeiimusic</wbr></a><br /> +<br /> <strong>THE LAUGHING</strong><br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheLaughing" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr>TheLaughing</wbr></a><br /> +<br /> FOLLOWED BY A<strong> DJ S.I.R.</strong> DANCE PARTY TO CLOSE OUT THE NIGHT<br /> (GirlFriend) –<br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/girlfriendatx" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr>girlfriendatx</wbr></a></div> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
