the kickback

HN multimedia intern Chevy Anderson picks his multifarious favorites of 2012. Father John Misty, Joey Bada$$ and Sidewalk Chalk are just three of his top threes.

"I think people can connect to us if they like Michael Keaton as Batman or have watched the movie 'Mallrats' 369 times. I just like making friends. And maybe the band is just a terrible way of doing that."

The Kickback performs "Little Teach" at DP Muller Photography Co. As the chalkboard says, the band doesn't care if it's "Best New Music," but give them the credit deserved by watching.

With a overwhelming crowd that sent photographers to higher-altitude perches to capture the packed house, Friday of Lincoln Calling ended with a climax that had been building all night. Relive or see it anew here.

The Vingins are back after a year stalemate while their frontman makes his solo name. Listen to a new song and catch them Sunday night at Duffy's. Also: last night's Knickerbockers show reviewed. 

The guys in The Kickback gather 'round a solitary light source and turn "Scorched Earth" into an acoustic number: and it's just for us, too.

No rooftop this time — the Chicago rockers perform their second Love Drunk video in a Midtown Omaha design firm's office. Watch.

Love Drunk shot a video on Saturday with Chicago's The Kickback and all you got were these laudable photos from HN contributor Daniel Muller.

A catch-up column from HN editor Andrew Norman featuring: NE in the Middle East; MAHA showcased; The Kickback in Benson; and Kill County plays a punk show.

HN and Love Drunk are going on tour — help us promote what's cool about Nebraska. Plus, a mid-interview interview with The Kickback you have to see.
