Rolling Stone's recent blurb on Lowell Thompson shouldn't build false preconceptions or wayward expectations. The Vermonter's self titled first album with the band Crown Pilot is a remarkably mature, self-assured piece of work.
The Shins frontman James Mercer and DJ Danger Mouse of Grey Album and Gnarls Barkley fame recently worked with each other for the Dark Night of the Soul album. Now,
ZZ Top pulled into the Beacon last Friday for a hastily-scheduled one night stand at the Beacon. When Steven Tyler fell off the stage, their gig opening for Aerosmith on the “summer shed circuit” was scrapped.

Sweet Nuthin’ might bring you a little bit down, so have something queued up – I went with a live version of Immigrant Song.

$10,000 Gold Chain: Not a whole lot of information out there on this band, but I do know it’s led by Mike McCready (the lead guitarist in Pearl Jam).
