Wildcat! Wildcat! have certainly kept their fans on pins and needles. Since materializing out of the reverb-osphere in early 2012, the trio of Jesse Taylor, Michael Wilson and Jesse Carmichael released a trickle of unfailingly catchy and impossibly falsetto-laden songs one at a time, building to last September’s four-song EP. This week, though, they announced […]
Wildcat! Wildcat! were all smiles on Friday night at the Echoplex, and why not – the L.A. synth-pop outfit, with only a four-song EP to its credit thus far, sold out the room.

@KRBronson on Friday at SXSW: SPIN may no longer be a print publication, but they still know how to throw one heck of a party.
