Tegan and Sara: Bogarts, Cincinnati, OH 5/9/08

Alex Drumm May 15, 2008 No Comments

Canadian born identical twin sisters, Tegan and Sara Quin have invaded America and gained a cult following without much help from MTV or radio. Now working to promote their latest, yet almost one year old album, The Con, these girls brought their brand of acoustic pop to Cincinnati for the first time in quite a few years. These young ladies brought together many different walks of life inside a venue that was far too small and put on a very respectable performance

Perpetual Groove: Highline Ballroom, New York, NY 4/25/08

Eric Liebetrau May 12, 2008 No Comments

Though they never caught fire, P-Groove showed that even on what seemed to be an “off” night, they still provide one of the best small-theater rock shows out there

7th Jammy Awards – Breakdowns & Insight: Wamu Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY 5/7/08

Chad Berndtson May 9, 2008 No Comments

It was the tightest Jammys show in at least three or four of them-thetype of night for which you're tempted to use the word lean but pull back only because that might under-represent such a high quality of talent assembled. Tight, tight tight, with changes from the past few Jammys were subtle, but essential: slightly fewer acts with longer stretches devoted to each, giving time for collaborations (most, anyway) to marinate a bit and really suss out some value and excitement.

Cowboy Junkies: The Sheldon, St. Louis, MO 3/26/08

Jason Gonulsen May 6, 2008 No Comments

Everything Margo Timmins does is with pure elegance. The way she glides on stage, after the rest of her band has taken their places. The way she tells stories in between songs. The way she finds a pair of eyes in the audience and sings to them. They way she sips her tea and admires her flowers. The way she smiles while singing words her brother wrote.

McDowell Mountain Music Festival: Scottsdale, AZ 4/25-26/08

Shane Handler May 1, 2008 No Comments

What is it about festivals these days? How come every-time I visit a music related blog that’s not hyping Vampire Weekend, they are announcing another festival whose lineup card is bragging “my lineup can kick your lineup’s ass.” And more likely than a $5 bottle of Aquafina, that lineup will include Flaming Lips, NIN and Wilco.

Hot Chip: The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA 4/24/08

David Calarco April 30, 2008 No Comments

In a modern musical landscape littered with genres and sub-genres, Hot Chip provides a counterexample; a band that can’t be pigeonholed into one style. This fact was quite evident at their performance at The Fillmore in San Francisco on Thursday, April 24th, as they used their electro-pop foundation as a launching pad to improvise and explore diverse musical feels, providing the capacity audience with a legitimate dance party.

Morcheeba: Showbox, Seattle, WA 04/09/08

Gabriel Scheer April 25, 2008 No Comments

Morcheeba ruled a certain chunk of the mid-late 90’s. They had the English trip-hop/rocker/rave thing down to a radio-friendly 3-4 minutes (though, of course, there were the remixes…), “Trigger Hippy” perhaps foremost among them. And then they were gone, sort of…

Higher Ground 10th Anniversary Celebration: Higher Ground, South Burlington, VT 4/15/08

Doug Collette April 23, 2008 No Comments

Higher Ground certainly deserved to commemorate their anniversary April 15th. The Burlington area Vermont venue, originally housed in a former Denny’s in Winooski strip mall and now in a former movie theater a couple miles away in South Burlington, has made a name for itself over the last decade, alternately nurturing up and coming talent (Derek Trucks, Soulive), welcoming established acts (Gov’t Mule, The Black Crowes, Sonic Youth, Wilco, John Mayer, Modest Mouse) while providing a regular tourstop for musicians as wide-ranging in style as Charlie Hunter and Hot Tuna.

Surprise Me Mr. Davis: Higher Ground, South Burlington, VT – 4/17/08

Joe Adler April 19, 2008 No Comments

Back from a brief hiatus, Surprise Me Mr. Davis, comprised of prolific songwriter Nathan Moore and the members of The Slip, made a triumphant return at South Burlington’s Higher Ground.

Greyboy Allstars: Roseland Theater, Portland, OR 3/28/08

Jason Gershuny April 18, 2008 No Comments

The Greyboy Allstars tend to exist where the musical culmination of funk, soul, jazz, groove and rock converge. This eclectic musical mish-mosh is in the midst of a national tour that brought them through Portland Oregon’s Roseland Theater on Friday March 28th. As always they were greeted with much of the famed Pacific Northwest hospitality, and as the night progressed it once again became clear that we love the Allstars here in Oregon.
