London-based trio Hounds Of Hate recently put out a 12" called 'I Like Triangles'. Smart move, since all hipsters like triangles, and Hounds of Hate are definitely serving the hipster market. They play dark, wavy dance music with stripped-down beats and minimal synth themes. It's the kind of music you listen to when driving down Sunset Boulevard at night, fighting crime, keeping it real. You know, Eddie Murphy-style.

Indie tropicana, sunglasses and chilled beer is all well and good for the pre-vacation mindset, but June in Amsterdam is also a great place for some cultural brain fuel thanks to Holland Festival.

Its mixture of classical, opera, theatre and dance can seem either thrilling or daunting on paper, but the spectral coverage of forward-thinking arts means there really should be something for everyone.  It's a hefty schedule overall, but you can dip your toes in with our starter tips:

Shortly ago, on a sunny Saturday in May, USA band Holloys played a marvellous show in De Nieuwe Anita.  Regina van der Kloet was there and took some pictures.

If you have read the June issue of Subbacultcha magazine, you probably got a load of our vegan courgette cake made for High Places. Well, here is the main course recipe we served them before they got pudding. Make it for your loved ones or just for yourself, this is some tasty stuff. And remember, the way to a band's heart is through their stomach!

A few weeks ago Subbacultcha! favourites Liars paid our little country a visit and played an awesome show in Trouw on May 25. For some nice video proof, click here. Read on for the photo-proof.

On May 21st Phosphorescent's Matthew Houck played an accoustic session of the roof of our office in Amsterdam. Loes made cocktails & Prins Productions made this video. Enjoy! And yeah, don't miss their show in Bitterzoet on June 06.

With a corrupt bus service, band cancellations, and issues at the border Todd P's first edition of the MtyMx Festival proved to be far from perfect. But for those who actually made it to the mountains of Monterrey, Mexico, the festival turned out to be a true music experience with friendly people, good tacos and amazing bands.

Photographer Nick Helderman took the bus from Austin Texas to Monterrey MX to document the whole event. (Click on the pictures to read the captions.)

There’s another not-so-tight yet utterly awesome girl group on the scene called Wetdog. These girls are influenced by psychobilly garage bands and 1980s post punk, and then throw some lo-fi electronics into the mix. They just released their new album 'Frauhaus' on Captured Tracks and recently embarked on a US tour, playing shows with bands like Vivian Girls and Blank Dogs.

"I had a dream that a guy was sentenced to death for attempting suicide, and the guy was me, and I was in the back of the courtroom going, "NO!  NO!" 

This tragicomic little snippet of stage banter from Daniel Johnston's gig at Paradiso last Thursday night wrung plenty of uncomfortable laughs from the rather stiff audience.
