Tedeschi Trucks Band: Everybody’s Talkin’

Nick Gunther May 25, 2012 No Comments

The fact is that right now there is simply nothing stopping the Tedeschi Trucks Band. If the current state of this band describes its immediate outlook for the future, the unit may be headed back to Swamp Raga to spend some time in the near future. The Tedeschi Trucks Band is in a separate class of professionalism, and Everybody’s Talkin’ depicts that representation most effectively.

The Parlotones: Journey Through The Shadows

Chris Calarco May 25, 2012 No Comments

The Parlotones are the musical equivalent of drinking with your favorite crush. The one who likes to tease you by buying drinks with that knowing smile but only offers verbal tales of angst and confusion. You know its a little manipulative but damn it feels good. Then in the morning you’re confused. Why did you do that to yourself?

Maps & Atlases: Beware and Be Grateful

David Hoffman May 23, 2012 No Comments

Beware and Be Grateful manages to dodge mediocrity with its bombastic sound and clever sonic architecture, but it still slightly misses the mark by flexing muscles that may have been better served with consistency over experimentation.

Portland Cello Project/Emily Wells: Crescent Ballroom, Phoenix, AZ 5/13/12

Jack Cavanaugh May 23, 2012 No Comments

It was a calm yet warm Mother's Day crowd in Phoenix's Crescent Ballroom for Sunday's show, and for those who didn't forget completely, Portland Cello Project and Emily Wells double-headlined a unique and classy affair to take a venturesome mother. Someone in the audience snickers that there will be no mosh pit at this show, and although Crescent doesn't normally host shows that compel one to mosh, but they also don't normally set out candlelit tables on the ballroom floor either.

Dan Berthiaume May 22, 2012 No Comments

Although Leftover Salmon have always been grouped in with other jam bands, their roots lay more with The Band and Bill Monroe than the Grateful Dead and Aquatic Hitchhiker delivers a solid set of bluegrass, country, folk, funk and R&B, with a smattering of jazz and psychedelia thrown in for good measure.

Big Brother and the Holding Company Featuring Janis Joplin: Live At The Carousel Ballroom 1968

Ron Hart May 21, 2012 No Comments

This is Bear’s vision,” proclaims Stanley’s widow Sheilah in the liner notes to this collection. “How he heard the band live, and how he wanted to transmit that to you… this truly is Bear’s presentation of this phenomenal band and inspirational music.” Indeed it will be most exciting to anticipate what other preserved treasures will be unearthed from Bear’s library of sonic journals to offer further insight into the history of San Francisco’s vibrant rock scene. If what’s to come is even half as good as this phenomenal recording, we are in for quite a memorable trip.

Shawn Donohue May 21, 2012 No Comments

You may not have heard of Archie Powell & The Exports before, but this Chicago group has just put out one of the catchiest rock and roll albums of 2012 with their second release Great Ideas In Action. Building on an infectious run of upbeat drums and guitars that call to mind The Replacements and early Elvis Costello the band exudes in tales that flirt with the equal dangers of “Crazy Pills” and “Shooting Sprees”.
