In 1991, SPIN magazine got a heap of backlash for failing to choose Nirvana’s Nevermind as their album of the year. Instead, they went with Bandwagonesque, the third album by Scottish power-pop crew Teenage Fanclub. It’s awash in distorted guitars and sing-along hooks, much like the rest of the legendary indie rockers’ canon. Don’t miss the chance to see these ’90s icons in action. With Sam Evian.

press release: Sam Evian - the New York City-based artist recently signed to Saddle Creek - has released a video for his track "I Need A Man". The track, spurred into creative fruition following the passing of North Carolina's discriminatory HB2 gender-based bathroom law, is languid and enchanting, the apparent initial romance of the track is offset by a moodier underlying sentiment. What at first seems like a personal longing is revealed to be a far more broader call for progress.

Says Sam of the video - in which the song's lyrics serve as subtitles:

"Brian shot this lyric video with his iPhone. The original concept was to wear layers of masks and reveal them one after the other like a matryoshka doll, but somehow that turned into a guided panda tour of NYC. It was surprising to learn that people really adore a guy in a panda mask. We started on the Staten Island ferry and worked our way through the dark underbelly of Wall Street. We noticed a hoard of tourists taking pictures with the Wall Street bull. many of them were crowded at the rear of the bull, kneeling to take selfies with its genitals. I went in for a gross selfie, and they all fell silent and nervous. I slapped the bull's ass and Brian and I both began to feel grossed out so we hopped in a cab and escaped. Somehow, we ended up at the Natural History museum, my favorite place in NYC."

Premium, Sam's debut album, is out September 30.
