We hope everyone is making it through this baking-hot week. Speaking of the temperature, this fall’s upcoming show schedule is really “heating up” (oh dear…), as evidenced by our list of fabulous on-sales at the bottom of this post. Sounds like it’s going to be a rock ‘n’ roll autumn.
von Grey von Grey Unsigned By Eileen Tilson Besides the fact that it is unsanitary and unprovable, millions of people have kissed the Blarney Stone in Ireland, hoping that some of the famed Irish luck will rub off on them. Even being near anything Irish, creates the sort of illusion that good things are coming. […]
By Alec Wooden Now in their second decade as one of Canada’s finest musical exports, there aren’t many places Hot Hot Heat hasn’t been. International tours. Their music in movies. TV. Commercials. Video Games. Three EPs and nearly twice as many LPs. To be sure, they’ve been busy since their 1999 inception. Not that there’s […]

By Jeremy Frye Most Americans, if they are familiar with New Zealand (via Australia) pop group Crowded House’s music at all, know them as a two-hit wonder, thanks to their back-to-back 1987 top ten hits, “Don’t Dream It’s Over,” and “Something So Strong.” Internationally, however, they are a beloved and respected hit machine, a band […]

Moreland and Arbuckle Flood Telarc By Al Kaufman Aaron Moreland and Dustin Arbuckle are doing everything they can to keep to blues alive. Arbuckle tears apart his harp every time he brings it to his lips. His voice is rich and just rough enough to sound like he’s lived about which he sings. He sounds […]
Kele The Boxer Glassnote Music By Chris Homer The Boxer, the debut solo album from Kele, marks a shift in style from the sound of his work in Bloc Party.

The District Attorneys Orders Form Self-Released By Eileen Tilson It is highly unlikely that someone who sat for the bar exam would be considered a laid-back individual. Thus it is ironic that when a band from Athens dubbing themselves The District Attorneys, they have the ability to transport you to the hazy days of summer […]
We’re all looking forward to a weekend inside, with cool drinks and the AC turned up way, way high. So for this week’s Weekend Picks, we’re staying away from the outdoor events and have even included a movie at The Fox, because when it gets this hot, sometimes you just want to sit in a […]
Miniature Tigers Fortress Modern Art/LG By Eileen Tilson Once upon a time there was a woman who ate her very first pot brownie. This “space cake” as she so cleverly called it, took about 45 minutes to effect her, starting at her tingling toes, and riding her blood waves, until her entire body felt like […]
