Chain Gang of 1974’s Kamtin Mohanger.

Papa’s got some brand new blogs.

Backbeat Online introduces you to Chain Gang of 1974, which has just been named the opening act of 3Oh!3’s first-ever national headlining tour, and offers a live review of Eyedea & Abilities. It’s good stuff no matter how you spell it. The Cat’s Pajamas takes a shine to silver jeans, while Demver digs up audio implying that those no-obligation Barack Obama acceptance-speech tickets may have strings attached and unveils some bizarre Obama “art”. Finally, Cafe Society muses about alcohol and other reasons to be happy on Larimer Street. The proof is in the bottle. — Michael Roberts
