While the major labels have spent the past few years spiraling inexorably toward the drain (some with good reason), indies have generally fared better – until now. According to Chicago
Two days after his rock and roll hall of fame induction, Beck is headed out on the road for a 13-date tour across the U.S. The tour kicks off at
The Sugar Club may be one of the only place I enjoy going to in Dublin for live music. It looks like a cinema-theatre, a place where everyone can see what is happening on the stage while being seated. Amanda confirms later on her appreciation of the venue “This looks like fucking civilized”. The gig was sold out, which was no surprise because this is the front woman of the internationally known punk cabaret band “The Dresden Dolls”.
Don’t be fooled by honeyhoney’s moniker. The debut album from this duo, composed of Suzanne Santo and Ben Jaffe, is anything but saccharine and repetitive. It begins with Santo’s beautiful voice singing slow a cappella, usually an indication of a soulful ballad, before the band jumps in and turns the song (“Black Birds”) into a mid-tempo jazzy tune. It is the first of many pleasant surprises.
A press release issued today by Show Clix, a ticketing company based out of Pittsburgh, stated that they will be establishing what they call a ‘Fair Ticketing Fund’ which is a:

To nobody’s surprise, Trey has kept the most busy of the four members of Phish. The first major thing Trey did (after supposedly taking a Caribbean vacation directly after Coventry) was record his solo album Shine with producer Brendan O’Brien.

I’ve lived in Nashville, Tennessee for going on nine years at this point and since my residency here I’ve only traveled to Memphis one other time for a show. You see, the stretch of I-40 between Nashville and Memphis is called Music Highway — but to me it’s just flat out BOOOOORING.

This past Sunday was my second trip to Memphis to witness Old Crow Medicine Show and The Felice Brothers. After an (actual) enjoyable three-hour road trip and a pork-pulled sandwich from Tops the mood was set for what was witnessed at the completely new-state-of-the-art venue venue in Memphis — Minglewood Hall.
