Long car rides, too much gas-station coffee, and being surrounded by incompetent drivers on the California interstate have made the members of Dub Trio a little restless this afternoon, but the good natured band from Brooklyn are taking it in stride. Crooner Jeffery Osbourne’s 1982 R&B hit “On the Wings of Love” plays over satellite radio, a device, the band agrees, that has infinitely improved road trips. “Oh my God, yeah—it’s a beautiful thing!” guitarist DP Holmes exclaims. The band is at the tail end of their west coast tour with Helmet. Next week it’s back east to take off again with fellow New Yorkers and friends Gogol Bordello. Touring is the life of an up-and-coming, hard-working band. 
Celebrating their second annual community celebration is the di Rosa Preserve and Art Gallery. Nestled in the heart of the Napa Valley wine country, the preserve houses an extensive collection of the bay area’s finest artistic offerings. The grounds will be opened for visitors to enjoy a day of art and nature. 
Opening March 15th at the Acuna-Hansen gallery in Los Angeles is the debut exhibit from bay area artist Shashana Chittle, Humaneyes. Grounded in Buddist mantras and karmic ties to George Harrison, Chittle fuses movement, mathematics, and metaphysics into the fabric of her work. 
Florian Schneider (flutes, synthesizers, electro-violin) and Ralf Hütter (electronic organ, synthesizers) founded Kraftwerk in Germany in 1970. Kraftwerk went on to revolutionize electronic and popular music across the world. The group has not played live since 2006 but will play four USA dates this April. They will be joined by current members Fritz Hilpert and Henning Schmitz. 
The results are in… and Nine Inch Nails are the winners in a landslide victory over the conventional methods of distribution. Not that it’s a competition. Totaling somewhere near 800,000 transactions, the band has grossed roughly $1,619,420 for the sale of their latest release, Ghosts I-IV. The 36-track instrumental “opus” (as some publications are touting it) was released on March 2, made available through the bands website NiN.com. 
The fifth release from Massachusetts based Lo Fine is a slow and wandering work by composer and singer Kevin O’Rourke. Relying heavily on the steel pedal and O’Rourke’s soft vocals, Not For Us Two is a straightforward sounding record. No maddening metaphors or tricky hooks clutter the sparse acoustic songs and general melancholy that has become Lo Fine’s trademark.
